Reseñas de la Crítica

"Possesses humor and a protective male character similar to those of Katie MacAlister. This will likely be a popular series." ( Booklist)

Decent story, annoying female lead character

I like the story, I like the concept, however...I am SERIOUSLY over the "I can't tell anyone what's actually going on for their own safety" female characters. They ruin the entire story. Just once I'd like to see someone lay it all out there and be a real person instead of a drama queen. It's ruining the entire story which was fun and light and a good listen otherwise. If the main character could shut up, I'd be a lot happier.

"Meh"

What did you like best about Beauty Dates the Beast? What did you like least?

The sexual tension between the couple was well done.

Would you recommend Beauty Dates the Beast to your friends? Why or why not?

Probably not. There are much better paranormal romances out there.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

yes

Could you see Beauty Dates the Beast being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I hope not.

Unimpressed

The story was just too ditzy. I really liked the idea behind the story...Heroine is working at a paranormal dating service in the office, protecting her sister from the werewolf packs, etc. But the story itself seemed to be trying to sound like a book from Mary Janice Davidson, whom I really enjoy, but just didn't quite pull it off. Better luck with the next one.

Clich?? and Unimpressive

Any additional comments?

I had a hard time finishing this book. The author tried to portray the main character Bathsheba as a strong will survivor but her actions didn???t fallow that line at all. The first man that forces his way into her life and she basically lets him lead her around like a well-trained poodle. The only time she didn???t mind him was in situations that put her in the same category as those horror movie chicks that go traipsing out in the dark woods when 20 people have already been gutted. The plot line was week and the obstacles that were supposed to make the relationship impossible were over blown. All that could be over looked but the dialog literally made me cringe. There is no man on earth that talks like the Bo. I know that some authors have the male characters say things that women readers would want them to say more so than what a real man would actually say but this just went too far. It was really bad. I will say that there was a cute little twist at the very end but I don???t think it was enough of a cliff hanger for me to suffer through another book in this series.

Fast and Fun...

What made the experience of listening to Beauty Dates the Beast the most enjoyable?

This was a short book for me but it was light hearted and fun...

Any additional comments?

If you want something light and just a fun listen this is a good pick...
