And I think most of the beasts have the prince inside them anyway, at least in romance books.

Some favorites are Carroll's Bride Finder, Hoyt's To Beguile a Beast, Sutcliffe's Devotion and Woodiwiss's Rose in Winter. I think we (women, at least) like the thought that a man can be transformed by the perfect woman's love (especially if he really isn't so beastly after all!).jmcgaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932827218529724266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-71229727670517459482012-10-02T21:38:26.177-04:002012-10-02T21:38:26.177-04:00I love Beauty and The Beast the best. :) It...I love Beauty and The Beast the best. :) It's my favorite!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387167891201652109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-57155227964144857832012-10-02T19:15:48.549-04:002012-10-02T19:15:48.549-04:00Oh I do love the beauty and the beast stories.

A big fat mwah to you! Yeah, I loved the games LC played with POV in that. In the reader's and Jessica's eyes, he's this magnificent stallion of a man. In his own eyes, he's this hulking brute. I turned to mush when I read those bits too. Awwwww! Beautifully done!
