Beauty and the Wolf by Marina Myles
4.0
Former governess Isabella Farrington didn't kid herself that her marriage to Lord Draven Winthrop was a love match, she knew it was not. She hoped at least over time they would be pleased with one another and is anxious to begun her duties as his wife. The minute I do is said it all goes awry, Draven is drunk and their wedding night is a disaster, leaving Isabella fleeing.
Two years later Isabella is back and willing to try again, but Draven is holding a secret and it is forcing him to keep Isabella at a distance. The last thing Draven wants is to hurt Isabella, but he is cursed and does not see any solution but keeping her at a distance. He didn't expect to fall so deeply for his wife and the feat of impregnating her and having the curse carry on to his sons.
This reminded me a bit of the Dracula stories with a gothic feel but you also have letters that are a part of the story, there is also a Egyptian twist with an amulet that Isabella keeps close. There are no vampires, but as you know with Beauty and the Beast there is a curse and wolves. I thought this was a fun read, I was definitely intrigued until the end.
