Oh wait. This is supposed to be a beauty and the beast retelling? I definitely missed that.
Isabelle, Izzy, is an editorial assistant at a publishing company, Tale as Old as Time (TAOAT). She’s second guessing her career choices and feeling unhappy and unsupported with her current situation when the opportunity arises to manage an important, famous writer/client. The client is a mysterious hot head, Beau Towers, who has disappeared from the public eye as of late, but has signed on to write an exclusive memoir. The only problem is the memoir is way overdue and TAOAT is ready to give up on Beau.
The wedding date series, by the same author, has been only ok for me. But I really like the main character, Isabelle, in this one. I appreciated both characters’ development during the story. If you like slow burn romance, with no sex, this one’s for you.
Also, if anyone is confused, like me, about why you can’t easily find the first book in the “Meant to Be” series…it’s because it’s by a different author. Julie Murphy, If The Shoe Fits. Odd.
