I love everything that Jasmine Guillory writes, but this Beauty and the Beast retelling is so sweet and lovely. Izzy, an editor’s assistant, gets sent to Beau’s California mansion to try to convince him to write the book he was supposed to have already turned in. Izzy, trying to prove herself doesn’t back down when this angry beast of a man fusses at her then sarcastically tells her to move in and help him write. There are no dancing dishes in this one, but there is some magic and the grey stuff is delicious.
