Whispers in the Woods by Helen R. Myers, 3 1/2

Book description: The deserted estate in remote northwestern Maine might have seemed foreboding, but it would be a refuge for Paloma St. John. There, she would be alone with her only friends -- the gentle animals she'd rescued from her own uncle's cruel scientific experiments.

But Paloma wasn't alone. There was a presence in the woods beyond the compound gates, a presence that reached into her mind, invaded her every thought, left her trembling with fear . . . and something more. Passion.

Was he protector -- or predator? Savage or savior? Whispers in her thoughts and dreams courted her in another realm, while the voice of her heart beckoned him forward. And so Paloma waited, with longing -- and with dread . . .

Review: Whispers in the Woods is a sweet, enjoyable Beauty and the Beast story. The heroine is too perfect for my tastes and parts of the story were too silly for me to suspend my disbelief but this book succeeds where it’s important. The romance was touching and fairy tale like. The hero was great. The plot was different enough to make this book stand out among all the other Beauty and the Beast books I’ve read. I recommend this if you like Beauty and the Beast stories.
