Soon enough, Lucie’s wish for revenge is granted when the handsome chevalier who attacked her gets transformed into a hideous beast, forcing all the servants to flee. The revenge after the rape is what serves as Lucie’s driving motivation – and basic plotline – of the book. These are not light topics, and it was rather shocking to see it in the story, and so early.
16% into the book, the heroine is devastated after the rape and tries to drown herself.12% into the book, a rape scene occurs where the heroine experiences it – and the consequences – first hand.Well, this made for a rather peculiar retelling.īefore I begin the actual review, I do want to let readers know about certain important triggers that they should be notified of: Lucie dares to hope that noble Beast has permanently replaced the cruel Jean-Loup - until an innocent beauty arrives at Beast’s château with the power to break the spell. Gradually, Lucie realizes that Beast is an entirely different creature from the handsome chevalier, with a heart more human than Jean-Loup’s ever was. Jean-Loup would never patiently tend his roses Jean-Loup would never attempt poetry Jean-Loup would never express remorse for the wrong done to Lucie. A wisewoman grants her wish, with a spell that transforms Jean-Loup into monstrous-looking Beast, reflecting the monster he is inside.
But when the chevalier’s cruelty is revealed, Lucie vows to see him suffer. But servant-girl Lucie can’t believe such foolishness about handsome Jean-Loup Christian Henri LeNoir, Chevalier de Beaumont, master of the estate. Filled with magic and fierce emotion, Lisa Jensen’s multilayered novel will make you question all you think you know about beauty, beastliness, and happily ever after.
