Synopsis:
In this modern-retelling of "Beauty and the Beast," Savannah Carmichael, betrayed by an unreliable source, returns to her hometown of Danvers, Virginia with her once-promising journalism career in ruins. Given the opportunity to get back in the game by writing a patriotic human interest piece, Savannah turns her attention to the town hermit, Asher Lee, a wounded veteran who returned to Danvers eight years ago, and hasn’t been seen since.
After an IED explosion in Afghanistan took Asher’s hand and disfigured half of his face, he's lived a quiet life on the outskirts of Danvers where the locals respect his privacy…that is, until Savannah Carmichael comes calling in a borrowed sundress with a plate of homemade brownies. When Asher agrees to be interviewed by Savannah, he starts feeling things for the beautiful reporter that he hasn’t felt in years.
Misfits in small-town Danvers, Savannah and Asher create a bond right away, touching each other’s hearts in ways neither thought possible. When a terrible mistake threatens to drive them apart, they’ll have to decide if the love they found in one another’s arms is strong enough to fight for their hard-won happily ever after.

Review
I'm totally a sucker for fairytales, and this one totally hit the spot. It's your modern beauty and the beast, drenched in sexy nights and southern charm. It's the first actual book I've read in longer than I want to admit, so there were a few hiccups (like trying to charge the book when there weren't enough pages left, and swiping at one page in an effort to get to the next) but once I got past those ridiculously embarrassing hurdles, I couldn't put it down. Seriously, I read every single page. Even the about the author page, because this was the first book by Katy Regnery I've had the pleasure of reading, so I needed every word of it.
