Pj Ausdenmore's Reviews > The Beast Takes a Bride

A Julie Anne Long book is like a beautiful symphony of words that transports me, the reader, through a myriad of feelings. She is an author who can move me to laughter, tears, and a number of other emotions with equal ease of skill. She's one of the few authors I force myself to read slowly, savoring the unique flavor of each perfectly placed word. Long's newest novel, THE BEAST TAKES A BRIDE, returns readers to the Grand Palace on the Thames boarding house for a deeply emotional, marriage-in-trouble story simmering with passion, impeccably-placed humor, and a hard-earned happy ending. I couldn't put it down.
