"Miss Beresford and the Beast" by Mimi Matthews is
a charming "Beauty and the Beast" inspired romance! Mimi Matthews is
one of my favorite authors, and this book did not disappoint. It had all my favorite elements, including Victorian
Gothic and “Beauty and the Beast” vibes and a sweet animal companion! This book
is connected to the author’s other series, “Somerset Stories,” but can easily
be read as standalone. “Miss Beresford and the Beast” is a story about the third
generation of the family in the “Somerset Stories.” It was so neat to see familiar characters
from the previous series. There were also some “Sleeping Beauty” and “Hades and
Persephone” vibes. Charlotte Beresford, our heroine, is a lover of animals and fairytales
and she is curious and compassionate. I love that she meets our hero, Magnus
Sterling, when she is trying to help a wounded dog. Magnus is scarred and
grumpy, but Charlotte can see past that to his compassionate heart. I love
Charlotte’s motto about not paying attention to what people tell you, but to what
they do. The reader and Charlotte start to fall for Magnus when he helps and
befriends a wounded dog and sparks fly. Will they be able to overcome their
circumstances and find love? I highly recommend this book and cannot wait for
the next book in the series!
Content: I give this book a low PG-13 rating. Some examples
of the content: Lord’s name is taken in vain; mention of alcohol and someone
was drunk in the past; the words “a*se,” “bloody,” “hell” and “da*n” are used.
TW: past emotional abuse; person possibly went mad in the
past.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book
which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest
opinion.
