Truly Enchanted. Truly cursed. This was a sweet story of friendship and love. ~ Rebe, Guilty Pleasures
Blurb:
A luxuriously magical retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in seventeenth-century France–and told from the point of view of the Beast himself.
I am neither monster nor man—yet I am both.
I am the Beast.
He is a broken, wild thing, his heart’s nature exposed by his beastly form. Long ago cursed with a wretched existence, the Beast prowls the dusty hallways of his ruined château with only magical, unseen servants to keep him company—until a weary traveler disturbs his isolation.
Bewitched by the man’s dreams of his beautiful daughter, the Beast devises a plan to lure her to the château. There, Isabeau courageously exchanges her father’s life for her own and agrees to remain with the Beast for a year. But even as their time together weaves its own spell, the Beast finds winning Isabeau’s love is only the first impossible step in breaking free from the curse . . .
He is angry, he is fierce, he is feared, he is cursed, he is lonely. “I was a man once before, but I was enchanted-cursed,”. The Beast’s Heart is parallel to The Beauty and The Beast classic fairytale story. You get to experience The Beasts’ point of view in this epic fairytale. His desires to have someone to speak to, someone who does not fear him, someone to treat him like a man not a beast. After over a century of solitude a trespasser stumbles onto The Beasts’ enchanted property. A trespasser with a beautiful daughter. Beast doesn’t want to be feared but he wants to not be alone anymore. Even though bargain is made as the trespasser leaves he knows nor does he expect to lay his eyes on Isabeau. The hope now crushed until Isabeau, against her father’s wishes, shows up to the gates. The magic that surrounds the estate, doors open without a doorman, clothes appear and adjust without a seamstress, food appears without a chief, drinks are delivered without a servant, rooms are cleaned without a maid do not frighten Isabeau nor does the Beast. I friendship forms but is it enough to break the curse? Truly Enchanted. Truly cursed. This was a sweet story of friendship and love.
