I know we call this a beauty and the beast retelling but it’s so much more than that. She’s gorgeous, yes. He’s a “Beast” with a library and spectacles. 

But also, Hattie is fierce, sexy, smart, and such a good friend. Whit is loyal, strong, serious, and obsessed with Hattie. Who isn’t? Honestly. 

Brazen and the Beast has class differences, purposeful ruination, a full figured FMC, fights, revenge, hot hot sex (the mast moment lives rent free in my head), and is so romantic. 

Plus you get to see lots of past and future secondary and main characters from the MacLeaniverse.
