MY REVIEW
Summary

Although Helen has no idea what she is really doing, she wants to have a new start for both herself and her children. Alistair, is a recluse because of the scars on his face, where even both children and adults run in fear from him. However Helen is not afraid in the least by Alistair, she is very intrigued by him and despite the scars on his face, finds him mesmerizing. A passion starts to form between these two both in need of companionship, tenderness and love….and right when they think that they might have a future together, the past comes to bite them and only their love for each other, to fight will get them through to help them find a future for each other…

The Hero (Alistair Munroe)
Alistair, is a naturalist and has a affinity for nature and animals, and despite the scars both outside and inside from the colonies, he still has a deep passion for it. When a woman with two children come barging into his castle, claiming to be his new housekeeper, he is enraged at first, for the woman is tenacious to say the least. However he starts to crave her company and that of her two children, and finds he can’t resist her….

The Heroine (Helen Fitzwilliam)

Where Helen could once find happiness once again, and despite the hard work ahead of her with Alistair and is crumbling castle, she finds that she can be herself here without revealing her past secrets, and find a tender passion with a man who could be her future.

My Thoughts 
To Beguile A Beast is the third installment in this series. I have just loved this series, and this was the last one of this great series for me to read, and even though I read this one last (when its not the last in the series) it ended great!!! Ever since seeing Helen in the previous book…I was excited to read her story, and I wasn’t disappointed with To Beguile A Beast. I found a hard time putting this one down from the very first page. I found the story to be enticing, the characters full of depth and endearing, and the romance riveting!!! Definitely a high rating on my scale!!! I loved it!!!
