Benedict Trewlove is known
as the Beast in Whitechapel. When he first spots Althea Stanwick, she's working
as a barmaid in a local bar. He immediately knows by her demeanor and speech
that she doesn't belong in his world and it peaks his interest of what happened
to her. When he propositions her to teach his "ladies" the refinement
they would need to improve their lives with better positions, she agrees and
moves into the brothel bent on educating the ladies. The more time she spends
with Beast, she sees what a good and generous man his is. Can she convince him
that she does belong in his world?
I have not read any of the
other stories in this series and didn't feel lost at all. Miss Heath has woven
the story of an intriguing and compassion man who uses his brawn and fists
protecting those who need it. Born a bastard he has limited options in life,
but he has made a good life for himself. I liked Althea as well. She found she
had a well of strength that she didn't know she possessed when she fell from
grace of the ton as the daughter of a traitor. The story flowed seamlessly and
was peppered with twists and turns I didn't see coming. When I thought the book
was going to end, the biggest surprise of the book happens and it was so
welcomed. I absolutely loved this book!
I voluntarily read an
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
