The Beast of Beswick (Everleigh Sisters, #1)
Amalie Howard
Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable Duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world. Especially smart-mouthed harpies—with lips better suited to kissing than speaking—who brave his castle with indecent proposals. But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself. And by offer, she means what no highborn lady of sound and sensible mind would ever dream of—a tender of marriage with her as his bride.

0This had the full recipe of everything I love, but it just didn't completely hit the points I wanted.
I liked both characters, but for many moments I felt like it was dragging on. I think that Astrid was a really strong character and oftentimes it felt like she was just barreling through everything while I read. Thorne was delightful and I loved how reclusive he was.
Overall the plot just became a little TOO much for me. I wanted more of them having to interact less saving the sister from the evil man.
I'm excited to read the sequel and more by Amalie though. She has a great writing style and voice.
0This wasn’t my favorite. It dragged on a bit and the self loathing from “the beast” was really annoying and at the surface. His aunt was hoot tho. Would have loved to read more about her escapades
