Dear Reader,
I'd been prowling the crumbling ruins of Castle Weyrcraig for so long that I could no longer remember if I was man or beast. Then one stormy night the superstitious Highlanders of Ballybliss decided to leave a helpless virgin bound to a stake in the castle courtyard to satisfy my insatiable appetites.
My demands might strike terror in the hearts of men, but this bold beauty dared to defy me. After she informed me that she didn't believe in dragons, I had no choice but to make her my prisoner—or risk being exposed to those I had sought to deceive with my dangerous masquerade.
Soon I found myself stealing into the moonlit tower just to watch her sleep. Little does she know that beneath this beast's gruff exterior beats the passionate heart of a man. Gwendolyn Wilder may not believe in dragons, but I intend to use all my sensual wiles to teach her to believe in something even more magical—true love.
Eternally yours,
The Dragon of Weyrcraig

The Bride and the Beast
This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in 1700's Scotland.
The story starts with our hero Brandon. His family, the lord of a village was betrayed to the English by one of the villagers. His family was killed and he was taken prisoner for many years. He is hiding back out in his ruined castle after many years away.
The heroine Gwen is 25 and thought to be strange by her family and village because of her love of science in a time of superstition. The villagers think there is a half man/half dragon living in the castle (or possibly a ghost) because of strange sounds. They tie her up and leave her in the ruined castle for an appeasement for their guilt.
This story is a popular staple for re-imagining into romance novels. This book is a little different in that the language and the tone is especially fairy tale like. You can practically imagine it with wood carving illustrations. This isn't a bad thing because it makes for an interesting change.
I liked this book but there is one aspect that really bugged me. The heroine mentions a million times that she is a bigger curvy girl, and it gets irritating. There is one point where Brandon tells Gwen she has incredibly soft skin and she replies that most fat girls do. WHAT?! Way to break the mood Gwen. Learn to take a compliment. :)
