Usually I read historical romance for pure enjoyment, something sweet and easy with banter and preferably spice. The Beast and the Bookseller sounded like it would be the perfect read.

Unfortunately, I did not like this one. The characters didn't draw my interest, the dialogue between the two MCs was a bit awkward for my tastes, their chemistry wasn't convincing for me. Also, I am not a Pride and Prejudice fan, so that particular part of the romance did nothing for me.

I'm sure this romance will work well for others. It just didn't for me.
