Rendition Supposing Books Beauty
What if the fairy tale came true?In this bittersweet love story, it isn't Beauty who needs to discover the man inside the Beast—but the man himself.
When Alix Miller takes off for a remote spot in New Hampshire to paint a portrait of the reclusive aristocrat, Leland Crompton, nothing has prepared her for what's in store. The housekeeper is unnerving. The castle-like house—with its massive chimney, mullioned windows, and ironwork gate with wrought-iron roses—gives her chills. And Lee himself is disfigured by a rare, genetic disease.
In the long hours of work that follow, deep in the wintry woods, Alix discovers that beneath Lee's exterior lies a remarkable man, a man she could come to love. The problem lies in convincing Lee.

This was a pretty enjoyable read and nicely written, but the fair lack of conflict and terrible ending made the whole thing seem pointless.I love fairy tales, and Beauty and the Beast is a favorite--but not romance novels as a genre. This is a bit of both.This fairy tale makeover, set in modern times, has some redeeming value in that it's not syrupy.
Oh, Beauty, how you tricked me. I was so ready to give this book a rave rating and review. I feel so conflicted...so, I am going to split the difference and write a two-fer...Why I want to give this book 5 stars:I was in love with idea of a real-life Beauty and the Beast story and from the beginning, the author did a wonderful job of capturing the emotions and complexities of Lee and Alix's growing relationship. The writing, beautifully done, wrapped me up in the story and held me tight. The

I love the story of Beauty and the Beast which led me to read this book. It started off well and I was enjoying this take on the Beauty and the Beast story. However, the ending completely ruined this book for me. It wasn't what I was expecting to happen and it is not a book I will be reading again.
Such a sweet book! Love is kind, love is patient!
Such a sweet book! Love is kind, love is patient!
3 1/2 stars. Not sure why the author felt the need for that ending!
