Chronicle To Books Beast (Estill County Mountain Man #1)
Oh my goodness. This is one of those that has a sappy romantic like myself sighing. A lonely, isolated man. A woman who 'has it together' or so it seems, but is a wreck on the inside. And they find each other. The Beauty and the Beast retelling doesn't get old for me. After all, I am a die-hard romantic and a die-hard fairy tale lover. Pepper Pace does both so well here. Yet, instead of the Beast being grumpy and surly, Christopher is the sweetest teddy bear (although he probably resembles a Grizzly bear) imaginable. I loved him! Pace challenges the reader here. Our Beauty has a significant weight problem. And the weight problem isn't her issue, but the emotions underneath it, the ones that caused her weight issues, and the results of them. If you've ever been overweight, you know how it is for Ashleigh. The comments that hit like barbs, because someone thinks they have the right to say something or the fact that they are insensitive, because they've never struggled with weight problems. The assumptions made about you because of your weight. On the other side, she doesn't make Ashleigh into a completely harmless victim. Ashleigh has some shallowness issues to work through. But that's the beauty of this story. She is able to see the beauty beneath the horrible scars and disfigurement that Christopher has. I truly loved the emotional connection between Christopher and Ashleigh. And there was also a very sensual component to this book, for romance readers who need that in their stories. Lots of spice and hot love scenes to go with an emotional love story that feels so authentic and timeless. When I got to 38% on my Kindle and love declarations were made, I wondered what else could happen in this book. Well, plenty. This is a love story about not just two people finding each other, but also also finding their way to healing. Making a life together in spite of obstacles they both face. When you read these kinds of stories, the stubborn person in you is determined to be upset if the problem is fixed, such as the heroine losing weight, or the hero getting his disfigurement repaired. But is that truly fair to the story for the characters not to go through that passage 'just because'? After all, it's easy to stay where you are. Even harder to take that step of faith to change something about yourself for the right reasons. In this case, the resolution made so much sense and only added to this story. If I could change anything? That's a matter of personal tastes, and I'm sure many will disagree with me. However, I could have done without some of the graphic language in the love scenes. While they were scintillating and the chemistry powerful, I guess I didn't need to read certain terms when it came to body parts. That's a small quibble. I'm personally no grammar stickler, but there were a couple issues there. I feel bad even pointing them out because a 100% accurate book doesn't necessarily tell a story that I love, like this somewhat imperfect one does. Overall, I found the writing very poised, professional, and so emotionally-stirring that I couldn't help but give this a five star rating. This was a beautiful love story. That's kind of ironic, because this story is about how what's on the surface doesn't show you everything. That what is at the heart is worth fighting for in the end. Highly recommended to romance readers who enjoy a more sensually descriptive love story, or just any old sap who can't resist a tried and true love story.Be Specific About Epithetical Books Beast (Estill County Mountain Man #1)

I feel like I can't even come up with a review good enough for this book. Or one that doesn't have spoilers. There are just some tropes that get to me, you know? If an M/C is disfigured or disabled--BRING IT ON! I want to read that book ASAP. The angst level is so deliciously high, I'm in love by the time I've finished reading the synopsis. Okay, add to that a heroine that is a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman)--which is another of my favorite things--and I'm practically weeping tears of joy. ButOk.....here comes Ms Pace with her beautiful, fantastic love story. Christopher and Ashleigh....aaaawwwww...I just love Christopher and what he stood for. Ashleigh sound adorable and LOVES Christopher for exactly who he was and not what he looked like. Ms Pace tells a story that we can all relate to cos we are not perfect and we all have our insecurities. This book tells a story about inner beauty and seeing a person for who they are. I so love this story, it had deep emotions, feelings, reality
Description: When plus-size beauty, Ashleigh, meets Chris, a beast of a marine with a face disfigured from a cleft palate at the gym, sparks fly. But can she overcome her baggage and make an HEA happen with the best man shes ever had the honor of dating? BEAST quite deservedly made it to the semi-final rounds of this years Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.The Good: Im so late on this, that I doubt anyone who reads this review hasnt actually already read the book yet. But Im going to just
Five stars for the story, 2.5 for the way it was put together, plus one for the feels. Ashleigh and Christopher are darling people, and they have to deal with some situations, but the story is compelling af.
What do you get when an overweight, slightly shallow black woman meets a disfigured, lonely, white Marine? A great twist on an old classic!Beast by Pepper Pace was a totally random pick for me and a little different than the normal romances I pick out. I saw someone post that it was on sale, read the blurb, and immediately downloaded it. The story was a great mix of a lot of things I really like. It was part sweet and part sexy, part real, part fairy tale. There was definitely some humor thrown
This book wasn't too bad. I didn't like her style of writing it sometimes seemed disjointed.
This is my first Pepper Pace book and I feel like a total idiot. Why did I wait so long to read one of her books. I know why Misconceived notions of the type of stories she writes. This book was called Beast a man who was deformed due to a a Cleft Palate and bad surgery at a young age. when I read the description I said no I can't read that it will be sad and definitely not sexy. Like I said I am a Idiot this books is Very sexy and sweet the love story is wonderful. I fell in love with
