Beast of Stratton by Renee Blare

Beast of Stratton

Renee Blare
(Prism Book Group 2015)

A true romance written with overtones of Beauty and the Beast.

When I say 'true romance', I am meaning that this book is reminiscent of the older stories from the 80s and 90s. The love story of the Harlequin romances, but the cleanliness of the Love Inspired line combined with Renee Blare's unique writing style gives a pure, romantical tale that also portrays an accurate insight into PTSD.

Fast-paced and heart thumping, the action flows from one scene to another.

If I had to find one flaw that stood out, it is that the book could be longer, have a little more description and scenes added, and the transitions from one action to another smoothed into narrative that's less jarring at some points with the story.

Otherwise, when a reader opens the book they fall immediately into the story and action. As they read, the story unfolds bit by bit. There are no unnecessary backstories thrown in. There are no long, descriptive narrative that bogs down the reading. What the reader experiences is an escape into a love story and a reading adventure.

Aimee is portrayed as a strong and yet godly woman. Miles who cannot love a man like him, is the tortured soul who finds a breath of new life because of Aimee. I loved their interaction.

Beast of Stratton is a modern day Beauty and the Beast story with a suspenseful twist and one that will delight true romance readers.
