Beauty's Rose

Fairy-Tale Inheritance Series, Book 4

By: Shonna Slayton

Narrated by: Catherine Gaffney

A boy destined to become a beast—and a girl determined to save him.

Margot's been invited to the medieval town of Chapais, France for a reunion of the town's descendants. She plans to stay with her aunt, who lives above the family bookshop inside the ancient walled city. Little does she know that three fairies have called her there to help a beastly teenage boy break the curse that has plagued his family for generations. Proud and arrogant, the boy pushes everyone away until Margot finds a way to reach him. But when they get close to breaking the curse, the romantic summer turns into a nightmare. Can they set the beast free before it's too late?

Beauty's Rose is the fourth installment in the Fairy-Tale Inheritance Series of historical fairy tales. Set in the 1980s, it is inspired by the 1756 version of Beauty and the Beast by French novelist Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, and is a standalone novel.

Sweet moments

I love the Beauty and Beast story to begin with but I love the historic twist! There are so many sweet moments between the characters that made me smile and my heart melt!

A Sweet and Romantic Vacation

I’d previously read this as an ebook and enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed it as an audiobook! The narrator did a great job of conveying Margot’s voice, and I liked the French accents and how it brought the characters (especially the fairies and Margot’s aunt) to life. :) This is such a fun story to immerse oneself in as an audiobook, with the touristy town full of history and enchantment, and the fairy-tale elements that eventually take center stage. I can see myself taking this romantic vacation again and again!
