First time reading this author, didn't realize it would have Beauty & Beast elements but I loved that it did. Also a fair amount like The Selection. I really liked the characters and the idea that people should be respected no matter their birth station. That if you let yourself get to know a person you don't know what you'll find behind a title or job label. It also showed how even though Avelina was instructed to take Dorothea's place she still acted and spoke as herself. I didn't feel the religious component was too overdone, mostly when Avelina needed help. A great clean romance, I really liked the story and need to look up the other books by this author.
