How Beauty Met the Beast
Tales of the Underlight Book One
By Jax Garren
Jolie Benoit was always a good girl,
the type of girl her high society family expected her to be, but now she is
exploring her bad side. She has been working nights as a burlesque dancer when
she has a thoroughly satisfying encounter with a gruff stranger who only goes
by Wesley. Wesley “Hauk” Haukon is terribly scarred, after serving in
Afghanistan he sustained extensive burns over his body, now he works as an
Agent for the Underlight. When he meets the beautiful Jolie he knows that there
can be nothing between them, that she will never accept his appearance.
Holy Moly! First off if you don’t
know I am a military wife, one of my worst fears is for my husband to be
injured while deployed. That being said I at the same time love and hate Jax
Garren she did such a phenomenal job in bringing Hauk’s back story to life I
ended up crying, a lot. It’s a fascinating take on the classic Beauty and the
Beast tale; not only with the steampunk aspect but also having the “beast”
character being injured in such a way makes the character so much more
realistic. I absolutely loved this book, and I cannot wait to see what happens
next between the star crossed lovers. Hopefully next time I will have a giant
box of tissues by my side.
