Good beauty and the beast retelling -- starts out well, but gets very muddled towards the end.
The first few pages are sensational, as an innocently sensual young girl from a fairy-tale village goes to the mansion to apply for the maid's position. The sexual tension is unbelievable as the sweet young girl is ushered into the darkened study and a voice growls, "take off your blouse."
After that . . . sigh. I have a feeling the author was on a deadline, or had other projects, or something, because the story gets weirdly muddled. The heroine is "reading" a werewolf story to the furry hero in bed, and you can't tell which story is "real" and which is fantasy. It sounds sexy, at first, but gets really sloooooww, after a while, like watching people read aloud for two hours.
