Loved it
The female protagonist Linnette was strong, smart and funny. I loved her. Even do the guy was a JERK, one can't help but like him. He is very smart, logical, selfless, very masculine, and extremely rude and arrogant. Yes he is all of that and more. He is not handsome in the traditional sense of the word but he is a MAN, and he makes love to his lady like there is no tomorrow. Great love scenes. Not a predictable book. It had many twist and turns.

A great listen
I was pleasantly surprised by this listen. the write up did not do it justice.
It was filled with witty banter from start to finish plus the narration was excellent!
If you are in the mood for a great, witty romance, look no further.

Love Love Loved it!
What did you love best about When Beauty Tamed the Beast?
There wasn't a lot of repetitive dialogue between characters. Many historical romance characters rehash the same complaints about each other in a million different ways over and over again. This book had witty banter, clever characters, and was simply a fun read. The main male character was just arrogant enough that you liked him, but didn't feel like he was a complete ass. The female protagonist was sweet/innocent enough, but not so much you would want to vomit. Overall, It was a fun read.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I didn't have a favorite. I thought they were all well written.
Have you listened to any of Susan Duerden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I thought Ms. Duerden did a great job with the voices. Then again, I almost never write negative reviews of the readers. I could listen to a frog read a book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did listen to it in once sitting. I spent the day cleaning my house and doing chores. Nine hours later the book was done.
Any additional comments?
I will be checking out several more of Eloisa James books.

My favorite audiobook to date!
Full of witty and sassy dialogue! I loved both main characters- masculine and feminine as it should be. Lots of tension and steamy romance. You will not regret getting this! It's worth three credits! Not to mention the narrator is my all time favorite- the men sound like men and the women sound like women.

Good Book!
I enjoyed this book however I liked A kiss before midnight a little better. The main character (male) is pretty mean. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!!

A Winner!
Beauty and the Beast captured my attention because it is still my all time favorite story - and this book delivered in every way. James does a great job of moving the plot along while developing the characters in such a way that you fall in love! There are so many ho-hum audio books out there that I want to express my humble opinion that this one is definitely worth it - IF you are a true believer in Beauty and the Beast.

An old romance with a new new twist at every turn. Great characters to love and to irritate you. Well written dialogue. Steamy love scenes. Modern feel but true to the historical theme. Wonderful narrator. Total enjoyment.
