Summary
When Melanie Carter’s older brother decides she’s to marry Lott Jenkins, a wealthy man who has the reputation of being harsh and unbearable, she knows her life has just started on a downward spiral. However, she’s determined to trust that God would not want her with such a man and try to make the best of the awful situation. At a masquerade ball in Edenton, she meets a rather mysterious man dressed as a knight, and she can’t forget him.
Lucas Hall can’t forget Melanie either, but he might as well. Once she sees the hideously scarred side of his face, she’d be repulsed like everyone else. That’s why he wears a mask whenever he goes out, which isn’t often. He wouldn’t have gone to the masquerade ball if his housekeeper hadn’t tricked him into going. Now he’s haunted by a scene he saw between Lott Jenkins and Melanie. No woman should ever be treated with such disregard, but what can he do? If he tried to help, they’d take one look at him, and he’d be no help at all.

Clean historical romance
When I read the blurb I thought I would be getting a retelling of beauty and the beast but without the magic. And in someways I did get this but I found as the story progressed that I did not like the main character Melanie. I found her to be confusing. She would do or say something at one point then act differently at another.
The other problem with this book is that I did not feel the love between Lucas and Melanie since we hardly see them together. We see a lot of Lott (the guy she hates) and Melanie but not the other way round until closer to the end of the book. Because of this I did not feel the connection between the two unlike the hatred between Lott and Melanie.
It is still an OK read.
Suitable for all since it is a clean read.
