Finding Beauty in the Beast Blog Tour

Finding Beauty in the Beast by Jessilyn Stewart Peaslee tells an alternate version of the famous fairy tale classic, Beauty and the Beast. Humiliated and cross at being dumped by her fiancee, Princess Rose decides that whatever commoner provides her with the best gift will become her husband. Corbin decides he didn't want to risk imprisonment over refusing to provide the princess with a gift and finds a single rose to give to her. Princess Rose accepts his gift and he is forced into a marriage he doesn't want. Will Corbin be able to look past Rose's beastly manners and behavior?

I enjoyed reading Finding Beauty in the Beast. It was an interesting take on the famous fairy tale and it was interesting to see the reversal of the beast as a woman although Corbin eventually takes on his own beast like characteristics. I almost disliked him more than the beast when he became consumed with himself and forgotten about the villagers who were taxed so heavily. The two characters, Rose and Corbin, have given up on life and are consumed about their own lost opportunities, grief and troubles that they must figure out who they are and look beyond themselves to the others around them to save themselves. The book is clean and I think it would be a good book for teenagers, young adults and adults to read. The author did include a few of the characters from her other books, Ella and Ella's Will. I think it would be worth reading those first, before tackling Finding Beauty in the Beast.  It's a fun, relaxing, well-written read.

The e-book of Finding Beauty in the Beast, is currently on sale for .99 on Amazon, which seems like a great deal. To find out more click here.
