A Victorian Twist on Beauty And The Beast

Bold and brilliant, Georgiana has a gift for fixing machines—from clocks to carriages—while her father has a penchant for finding trouble. In an accidental fire, Georgiana and her father scar the once handsome face of Lord Pichon, cousin to the queen.
Rumors of Georgiana’s gift raise her family’s status. Her incomparable beauty captures the eye of many gentlemen and the wrath of Lord Pichon. Abandoned by his peers and alone in his cold castle, Lord Pichon is determined to enact revenge.
When Georgiana’s father makes a terrible mistake, she sacrifices herself to pay his debt—as a lowly maid in Lord Pichon’s castle.
Her wit and warmth begin to thaw Lord Pichon’s estate, making him question his version of the past. Will her kindness break the beastly lord or will he hold her family hostage forever?

Clarissa Kae has taken a Childhood Classic, Beauty and the Beast

and retold it in a Victorian and Historical genre. A Dark Beauty

is Book 1 in the new series by Clarissa Kae, Victorian Retellings. 

Georgiana has a gift of being able to fix machines. She really 

enjoys fixing just about anything that she can get her hands on. 

Her father has a knack for finding trouble or trouble finding him. 

An accidental fire, has her father and Georgiana injuring Lord Pichon, 

the cousin to the queen. Lord Pichon wants to make her father 

"pay" for his actions and tries to hold him hostage. Georigiana

would rather take her father's place, so she offers up herself

to be a "maid" to the Pichon estate. Lord Pichon has always 

been a "loner", but Georigiana has a great personality that 

is starting to "soften" Lord Pichon and the estate. Will Lord Pichon

realize that he doesn't need to be a "loner"? Will Georgiana

be able to save her family with her beautiful personality and 

softening the hearts of the Pichon estate? 

I am one who likes reading the classics and enjoy them. I for some 

reason just couldn't get into this book and enjoy it as much as I have

enjoyed the Classics. The storyline of Georgiana and her beautiful

personality is great. I just couldn't get fully into the book. The Author

has a good writing style. I do like the setting and time period and I did

find it enjoyable at points. I do think there is an audience for this book

and many will LOVE it. I do LIKE it, I just couldn't love it! Good book!

More from Clarissa

As a young girl most of the fairy tales talked about beauty as the only attribute but when Disney came out with Beauty and the Beast, my world was rocked. For the first time the heroine was a woman with a brain and a plan. I began researching the fairy tale and read every version. When my youngest daughter was born (with dark hair and big beautiful brown eyes) I named her Isla Belle. For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of writing a Beauty and the Beast retelling. And finally, that dream as come true.
