Beauty Dates the Beast Jessica Sims Books

I'd been wanting to read Beauty Dates the Beast for the longest time, and now that I have, I'm sadly disappointed. There were a lot of fun ideas here, but overall I was bothered by more than I liked. I loved the idea of a supernatural dating agency, but it really only served as a way for the love interests to (reluctantly) meet and to introduce the heroine to the bad guy, despite her working there. Bathsheba is the human office manager at Midnight Liaisons, where she is forbidden to date the clients. But then a very powerful shifter's date cancels on him, and he needs someone in a hurry. It's either make an unhappy customer and definitely get fired, or break the rules, go on this one date, and only probably get fired. Well, one date isn't enough to get rid of Beau Russell, especially went some monster is after Bath and her sister.

My problems with Beauty Dates the Beast started when Beau revealed that he was going into heat. Well, all of the were-cougars in the area were going into a kind of heat, since one of their females was going into heat, so he needed an outlet for that. Of course, Bathsheba is perfect since she's a human virgin, who doesn't carry disease, even though shifters are immune to disease. Logic, there is none. I totally didn't mind Bathsheba deciding to be rid of her virginity with some guy she barely knows, but the fact that they did it seventeen times in one night, was umm...well my belief doesn't suspend that much. But before they do the deed, he drugs her to get her back to his cabin and claims it's not an abduction but a seduction. I do not think so, Mister! She would have gone with him willingly, since something scary is out to kill her, so why the drugs?! Also, she dumps him like five times within the span of a handful of days, which was super bizarre since they're not even really dating.

The plot was alright. Theoretically, I liked it and thought it was a great idea. But practically, it was pretty silly and boring. The monster that's out to get Bath isn't something I've read about before, but the characters were just too over-the-top for me to believe them as villains. Yes, they're doing something horrible, but the way they interact was more comedic. The two bad guys arguing with each other about how things should be done rather than getting anything done. Plus, it ends within like two chapters. Not very exciting.

Also, the set up for Beauty Dates the Beast didn't make much sense. Bathsheba's sister was turned into a werewolf by an ex-boyfriend, and now they're on the run and lying low so that none of the wolf packs find Sara and take her away. That's fine, except that they both work for a supernatural dating service, where shifters come in ALL THE TIME, making Sara run off to the back and drown herself in perfume so they don't smell her. How about, not work where you can be sniffed out?! Bath says they took the job so they can keep track of where the packs are, but did both of them need to be there? Sara would have been safer in a normal job, while her sister keeps tabs on the wolves. On top of that, Bathsheba is a dateless virgin because meeting men puts Sara at risk of discovery. How about, only date humans?!

Beauty Dates the Beast just wasn't what I anticipated at all. The romance really didn't work for me, and the virgin trope failed miserably. The set up makes no sense at all, and neither do the characters' decisions. And the humorous scenes were more awkward and uncomfortable than anything else. It also ends on a weird cliffhanger, but I don't care enough to pick up the sequel.

Beauty Dates the Beast Jessica Sims Books Reviews

I actually read the second book first (Desperately Seeking Shapeshifter, 2012) and enjoyed it SO much I starting searching for the first book, Beauty Dates the Beast. The second book is my favorite of the two; however, I think that may be because reading them out of order gave me a few "spoilers" for the first book. No question they are both well worth reading, but I would suggest you take them in order for the best enjoyment.

Part of the plot involves a social service reminiscent of Kimberly Raye's delightful series of "Dead End Dating Novels". I am looking forward to the third installment in Ms. Sims' series!
Jessica Sims has a wonderful style of writing that has humour and more than a touch of humanity for her shape shifter hero, and her all too human, heroine. This is a fun romance with a good plot and severely likeable people. Seriously give me a beast like Beau anytime - he is strong, sexy and has a soft centre though thankfully not when it counts or should I say where? The plot is simple but what makes it good is the fact that it is well orchestrated with a focus on the characters and their personalities, and on the differences between human and not so human in a more real way than normal. Both parties show a connection to normal feelings and even errors like not understanding the mechanics of being a romantic. Our heroine is hurtable, breakable but still so brave to do what she thinks is right no matter who she needs to go up against. This book is delightful and hopefully there will be many more.
I read a few of the novellas and short stories by Jessica Sims before trying this one out. All of them were compelling and sexy - particularly Bear Naked and Single Wolf Female. Both of those had clear (if silly) premises, likable, relatable, not entirely ridiculous heroines, seriously hunky heroes, and super hot sex scenes. This book, on the other hand, had a vapid, boring "heroine" who constantly made stupid decisions and ridiculous mistakes, a one-dimensional hero who had no particular reason for pursuing her in the first place, and a plot full of holes and glaringly obvious "twists." There was no inciting incident or plot set up to speak of, no one's motivations made any sense, there was no reason for the couple to get together, be together, or stay together, and nothing interesting happened while they were.

I think this was the author's first book in the series, so maybe I should cut her some slack, but if I had started with this one, I never would have read any of the others. I was looking forward to reading book two, having briefly met the characters in Bear Naked, but now I'm not so sure. In any case, I would recommend the two novellas, and perhaps the series gets better, and more focused, with each attempt. But skip this one, it's not worth your time.
The writing is good. The world is fun and the heroine is annoyingly dumb, stupidly independent and never passed over an opportunity to put herself at risk. Spoilers

Bathsheba works for a supernatural dating site. Her sister is a werewolf in hiding. Somehow or another they believe they've fooled everyone into thinking the sister is human because she sometimes wears perfume. Spoiler Alert they've fooled no onven though Bathsheba isn't supposed to date the clientele she goes on a date with a were-cougar who is near the head of the Alliance. She falls in love. The blond virgin falls in love and has sex with Beau-but she never learns to trust. There's a evil creature who is stalking tall blond women but she throws herself into risky situation after risky situation without telling Beau what the hades is going on. The risky situations include "I've got your sister and I'll kill her unless you give yourself up. Come alone." And our dingbat does.

I've never rooted for a heroine to bite the big one before but this one is too stupid to live
