About this ebook
Dean
All my life, I dreamed about making the long trip from Australia to Canada to study forestry amid the old-growth stands of the Pacific Northwest. Now here I am, living the dream. Of course, nothing's perfect. The only housing I can find is renting a room from a grumpy, reclusive guy who doesn’t seem to want me around. I should keep out of his way and focus on my studies, but there’s something about him that keeps drawing me in. I feel less homesick when I’m with him, and maybe I can make a difference for more than just the trees.
Adam
Life as I knew it ended with my horrific accident ten years ago. There's no point to my existence now, but I can't seem to stop living, so I hide my battered carcass in my mountain home. There, I can wander from room to room and no one stares, no one laughs, no one even remembers I exist. Until I make the mistake of offering a stranded Aussie a room to rent. It should've been a simple favor—two men with our own spaces, ignoring each other. Instead, he's always close by, and he won't let me wallow, and what's worse, I think I'm starting to like that. But there's no way someone like me can have a future with someone like him. Right?
The Beauty of the Beast is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, set in the wilds of British Columbia, where an Aussie forester a long way from home falls for the untouchable man he shouldn’t want. The novel has moderate angst, a feisty foreigner, and what happens when someone trusts again.

Two men, whom fate has chosen to bring together, could be the one thing that the other needs most. This is Beauty of the Beast, a contemporary romance, a contemporary fairytale, told beautifully, with a great depth to the character development and a consideration of deep, difficult feelings that it is hard not to sympathise with. Maybe it is the case that neither man should want the other but who can say what fate intends for us all?

A heartfelt story that is very fastpaced and well written. The characters are well developed and genuine and they heal and get stronger throughout the story because they have eachother . A very sweet romance that shows that beauty is only skin-deep and love is much more important in live. I can see the association with the beauty and the beast but the story is sweet in its own right.
