I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. Was it a Beauty and the Beast retelling? A Historical Romance? or what? But it kind of a little bit of all of the above. It's not a Beauty and the Beast retelling in the classic way, no magic or curses. But of the damaged man, young beauty type. It's a nice story with a strong focus on God and beliefs. It was good but really didn't stand out of the crowd and the characters need a little more depth. But if you enjoy books about God and love stories this might be your cup of tea.
