I love Elisa Braden and no matter what she's writing, I'm going to read it. But this definitely lacked the character development and plot depth that I know she's capable of putting in a novella (12 Nights was phenomenal). A beauty x beast scenario is always going to be my jam because I'm a basic bitch (and glad of it. And I think the characters are both likable and intriguing. Scarred architect x cynical governess is an excellent pairing for my working class HisRom loving heart. But the plot just wasn't there and could have been so much more. Instalove isn't a problem for me IF it makes sense with the plot and character motivation and it just didn't here. 3 because the vibes were spectacular and Elisa Braden's prose is always phenomenal.
