But in laying his ruthless trap, will he risk losing his own heart? nikel27 | Aug 3, 2007 | This was a great Book! A page turner at every angle. Its a constant mystery over the who dun it. With the romance layered on top. A great story also of a woman in Victorian age trying to make her own way. Trying to come up past what society would think of her. What society deems is proper, and what is not. And along the way she wins the "beast". I was worried it might be a little to Beauty and the Beast want to be. But that is not the case at all.
