The Beauty series features novellas inspired by the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, with Ruby Dixon contributing several entries. Each story offers a different take on the classic setup of a woman encountering a cursed or monstrous figure and finding love through understanding and acceptance.
Dixon’s entries in the series fit naturally with her broader interest in monster romance. Her versions of the Beast tend toward the literal rather than the metaphorical, with cursed heroes who are genuinely inhuman in appearance. The novellas are short and self-contained, making them a quick read for fans who enjoy fairy tale retellings with a romantic and sometimes spicy edge.
