When Beauty Tamed the Beast (Fairy Tales, 2)

Any book that makes me look forward to another day so that I can make more progress on the book itself is a good one for me, including this. Both Piers and Linnet are so cute together. The basis of this book is extremely interesting as well, not often seen in the other historical fiction books I've read: Piers is a doctor. Okay, maybe he has a bad temper and a sharp tongue, but he truly cares for his patients. He may not have the affinity to care in terms of the emotional aspect, but that's where Linnet comes in, to 'tame' him. I love how Linnet handles Pier's character.

Oh, and can I say I'm so glad Linnet's father and aunt never appeared in the later chapters ever again? They are the most annoying characters in this book, constantly putting down Linnet. Her aunt is the worst: suggesting that she get herself pregnant by going to a brothel. A BLOODY BROTHEL. What kind of aunt does that? And the father: he agrees to let his own daughter find a man to knock her up so that there's a chance she can get accepted as Pier's future bride. I'm glad Linnet isn't stupid enough to follow through. She knows how to respect herself, and that's one of her qualities that I like a lot.
