that was nice. but not much spark. and the end was rushed in my humble opinion.
and I'm not a fan of the "oh my suddenly I'm so clumsy"heroines...

I enjoyed Marcus and Danni, although Marcus could be waaay too broody at times. Full review to post on Romance @ Random.

My review cross-posted from Wit and Sin: http://witandsin.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-hes-no-prince-charming-by-elle.html
Beauty and the Beast gets a Regency romance remake in He’s No Prince Charming. Elle Daniels’s debut novel is bursting with energy and emotion, and I’m looking forward to seeing how her talent develops.
Danni is a charming heroine. She’s smart, outspoken, and though she sometimes behaves rashly, she does so out of a genuine desire to help others. Danni aches for love, and she finds it with Marcus, the man society refers to as the Beast. Though Marcus isn’t a bad man, he does do some beastly things (blackmail and kidnapping) because he sees no other way to protect his sister. Less-than-gentlemanly behavior aside, my heart broke for him, as Marcus has been abused and shunned for most of his life. He has severe problems coping with what was done to him in the past, and I liked that Ms. Daniels didn’t magically cure him of his troubles. As a couple, Marcus and Danni were surprisingly sweet. They come alive in each other’s company, even though their relationship has a tumultuous start. It’s easy to fall into their burgeoning romance, though their love story is not without its obstacles (some of them imposed by the hero and heroine themselves).
Where He’s No Prince Charming faltered for me was the believability factor. I have no problem suspending disbelief, especially for fairytale retellings, but I was asked to do so far too often in this story. Danni and Marcus act, at times, too modern for a historical romance, and there were multiple glaring historical inaccuracies (too spoilerish to reveal) that pulled me out of the story.
Issues aside, He’s No Prince Charming is an enjoyable story and I can’t wait to see where Ms. Daniels takes her Ever After series next!

It was a nice story, but I think it goes on and on too much sometimes. The temptation of skipping whole paragraphs is too strong.

I read this book fully intending to fall asleep after few pages... I end up reading the entire book until 3 in the morning
Marcus Bradley Marquis of Fleetwood is a beast. He is a scarred hero from head to toe and with a tortured soul to boot. Meanwhile the honorable Miss Danielle Strafford is a meddling chit. Their worlds collide when Danni help Marcus' fiance to elope. Marcus blackmailed danni into helping him secure a heiress and together they embarked into a madcap adventure filled with sexual tension.
This is a funny story with just the right balance of romance. I really think its a no mean feat for Danielle to fall inlove with Marcus regardless of what he is inside and out. There is no magic, and nobody would become handsome in the end but you will definitely get your happily ever after, that I can assure.

More like 3.5 stars.
I enjoyed the story, and liked how Elle Daniels interpreted the 'Beauty and the Beast' tale, with the Marcus's backstory and character development.
At times it was a little unbelievable and the historical accuracy was questionable. I also felt the story dragged in sections, particularly when Marcus or Danni are having doubts over their feelings for each other. However, I loved the banter between the two, and the way they slowly opened-up.
I also liked the Cameos with Ginny and her family. And the ending makes me excited for the next book... Which I believe is coming out in October 2018.
