Pretty quick retelling of beauty and the beast except in this one the beast is not a human stuck in a monster form or cursed. He is literally a beast.
It's a novella so things have to move fast and not a lot of backstory concerning the beast, how he came to be, if there are more like him etc.
We know he has been obsessed with Belle for a while and stalks her. Has wanted to make her his wife and breed her but feared she would run away when she saw him as does everyone so he comes up with a brilliant plan, since her father is a gambler and owes a shit ton of money, he would pay it off and have her be the collateral.
She at first fears him and finds him hideous but slowly (or rather quickly) realizes he is not a ''beast' and treats her kindle and she wants him.
These two get their HEA but we do not get a scene of them far into the future with kids etc. I do wonder if he is immortal or mortal? Will he age the same as her? There were a few vital bits of info missing but this book was not made to be dissected lol
