Forever After Retellings #1
Beauty and the Baron
A penniless maid determined to save her father, a broken baron bent on isolation, and the undeniable draw between them that will lead to happiness—or disaster.
Rose Sinclair has run out of options. With her father in prison and their bookshop sold to pay his debts, she has no choice but to turn to Henry Covington, the Baron Norcliffe. But the baron has more than earned his harsh reputation, and Rose must face his wrath in order to save her father—and herself.
Since the deaths of his parents, Henry Covington has isolated himself from society, ensuring the solitude of his estate with his deliberate callousness. However, when the beautiful Miss Sinclair appears on his doorstep, begging for a chance to repay her father’s debt to him, a moment of weakness finds him offering her a position—as a maid in his own house.
They both soon learn that first impressions are not to be believed. Henry is surprised—and intrigued—by Rose’s optimistic charm, while Rose slowly uncovers Henry’s true self, his compassion concealed behind the pain of loss and betrayal. But when a shadow from Henry’s past returns, their newfound hope is tested. They must decide for themselves who to trust—and what they will risk for their happily ever after.
Beauty and the Baron is a Regency retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It is a sweet/clean romance novella, and is Book 1 in a series of Regency retellings. The stories can be read in any order.

3.33 stars. A pleasant, short Regency romance, very loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. I mean, the Baron is a grumpy guy (but handsome; whatever beastliness there is, is solely internal), and the girl, Rose, comes to live in his mansion and be his servant and, eventually his friend. Oh, and Rose loves books. But that's about it for the fairy tale connection, so if you're into fairy tale retellings, don't get your hopes up here.
Rose Sinclair has fallen on extremely hard times, with her father in prison because his gambling addiction led to unpaid debts. Rose was the manager and bookkeeper of the family bookstore (sold to pay some of their debts). She musters up her courage and asks the Baron, Henry Covington, to let her handle his books. He's appalled by the idea - some of the money her father gambled away was Covington's investment with him - but her sad story and teary eyes lead him to offer her a job ... as an undermaid. With no home and nowhere else to go, Rose accepts.
It's a very rough job - especially since the main housekeeper hates Rose and the other servants resent her - but Rose starts to adjust. And of course she and Henry start to connect and overcome their differences. But ... there are Complications.
It's a cute, sweet romance novella. Nothing really new going on here, but fine to download as a freebie if you like this sort of pleasant, fluffy little diversion.

This was so sweet! I’m coming out of the biggest slump in history and I enjoyed this book a lot so it’s getting a 4,5 stars from me.
I’ve read other books by this author before but this is the first I fell in love with.
It’s a fairytale retelling, and it’s rather unapologetically fairytale-like so don’t expect any historical accuracy. It’s not even clear what year it is exactly, but it’s not the point.
Rose has no income and her father is in debtor’s prison. She is desperate and accepts a position of a maid at Lord Norcliffe’s house. She quickly starts calling him Henry because, as I mentioned, it’s a fairytale. There’s horse riding in the rain, a bit of angst and a hea.
I wish this book were longer because it was all very rushed. I really liked these characters and wanted more of them together. Unfortunately it’s a novella and not everything is possible. But this is my only complaint, I highly recommended this book if you want a cozy, clean short story.

4 stars, personally. Clean regency fiction book with no major language or sexual content other than kissing.
Henry’s not a beast, just a reclusive grump. I think I like that angle more than the original tale, to tell the truth. He kept thinking of her, but he deemed that was because she was the only one who actually talked to him. Of course. Not at all because he was interested in her. No, not that at all. *wink wink*
He did have his moment of being a complete and utter idiot. Which I saw coming from a mile away and was cracking my fingers to slap him upside the head. But thankfully that ended quickly.
This went by so fast, it was sad actually! I was enjoying it so much and then it was over. Truly a speed run of a plot but he fell hard for her and that’s always the cutest thing. I would have read a full length book version of this; I think it could easily be expanded. Give a bit of Rose’s life before her father goes to debtor’s prison, when that happens, pick up with what’s in this novella and add in more moments of cuteness between Rose and Henry, maybe even some more maid drama and drama with Henry’s ex-best friend and there you go! 300 pages I would gladly read. :)
Really though, this might have been cheesy and quite predictable, but I ate it up and enjoyed every bite, hahaha! I’ve been meaning to check out this author’s other books and will definitely be doing so for sure now.
Main Content-
No spiritual/faith content.
Minor language like 'blasted', 'heavens', 'what the devil' are said.

It wasn't bad, but it was definitely too short for the author to develop a believable connection between the main characters. The fact that the MMC was a baron and the FMC was his servant was treated partly in a careful way (he didn't overstep) but partly in a unrealistic way (they spent so much time together, talked like equals).

See my full review here: https://penspagesandpulses.wordpress....
Beauty and the Baron by Joanna Barker is one of the most original Beauty and the Beast retellings I’ve ever read (mostly because it is the least tethered to the Disney movie’s version). It also was highly reminiscent of the movie based on Louisa May Alcott’s The Inheritance.
Rose is hard-working and devoted to her father. I find it admirable how concerned she is with her father’s welfare. She was also so kind and considerate despite the drastic change in her circumstances.
Henry is cautious when it comes to trusting people he doesn’t already know, but as he gets to know Rose, his kind and considerate nature comes to light. I love how guilty he feels when he is less kind than he should be! I wish his character arc was more gradual, as it would have made him even more loveable.
I would have liked the book to have been longer. I realize it is supposed to be a novella, but the character arcs would have been better if they had more time to develop. The book also would have had the chance for a bit more action if it had been longer.
Overall, I really enjoyed this clean fairy tale retelling!

I was crazy excited over this Regency Beauty and the Beast retelling when I first read the story. I recently discovered it on audible for an excellent price so I couldn’t resist revisiting these characters, this time listening to Janna Fox’s wonderful narration. Such a sweet, timeless story!

Squuueeeeee -- I just discovered a new-to-me favourite Regency author! Thank you Good Reads friends for leading me to Joanna Barker. My fainting couch got a real workout with this one -- partly from me jumping up and down as I shrieked my ecstatic pleasure to the world. Because, not only is Beauty and the Baron a scrumptious Regency romance, it's also a retelling of Beauty and the Beast! Squeeeep!!!
Grinning like an idiot writing this as I remember all the good bits which is basically the whole book. An impoverished, genteel lady with quiet strength and such a kind heart. A seething, embittered baron who has become so jaded by the world that he keeps it at bay with his foul humor. The way Rose softens him by slow degrees, gently showing him a different way to live. Be still my heart! So many happy swoony bits!
But there's treachery afoot and a mystery to solve before we get to "...and they lived happily ever after." I had so much fun spotting the fairy tale elements Barker wove throughout the story. Her unique twists made this timeless story feel fresh and new.
Toe-curling romantical bliss!
Side note: While not a Christian Fiction selection, Beauty and the Baron is a clean read that also inspires with sweet gems like this: "Kindness matters most when it's hardest to give."

Sweet Regency version of Beauty and the Beast.
January 22, 2019
This is a novella length book. You can read it in a couple hours. This is a B&B retelling. It is one of my favorites. This was very light and fluffy. It was well written but had no meat to it. It was a fun story to read and I think my teens will like it. This was not a fantasy, there was no magic. This was very chaste also.
January 25, 2019
A perfect regency short story with so many fun Beauty and the Beast elements throughout. Ms. Barker's writing is excellent, the story fun, and her characters memorable. Reading Beauty and the Baron was the perfect way to spend an hour by myself. Now back to real life...
January 19, 2025
Clean and sweet. I will definitely continue with the series:)

☕ “Kindness matters most when it is hardest to give”
📚 I was not expecting much from this clean Regency, fairy tale retelling, mystery, dual POV novella, but absoLUTEly adored it.
I wasn’t sure how the author would concisely construct a full storyline and make the Beauty and the Beast points. But Joanna Barker wowed me on this one in the new plot with a familiar vibe of my favorite princess’ story.
I couldn’t get over ALL of the Beauty and The Beast nods. They made me smile and warmed my heart.
There is a mystery to solve and a sweet romance as well.
This novella is part of the ‘Forever After Retellings’ series. The other books in the series are written by other authors, however. But I plan to read them all, as I am a big fan of Megan Walker, and Sally Britton is on my TBR author list.
*No profanity
**Very light romance, yes, but no spice.
📚 CAUSE FOR PAUSE? My only gripe is that this book was over way too soon. I was sad when I reached the last page.
📚 CONSIDER READING IF… you want a clean, sweet regency romance with Beauty and The Beast humor, bravery, trust, and forgiveness themes. 😀
MY RATING 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I’m stingy with my stars, but this book gets 5!
I’m editing a video now for next week’s video of my in-depth May TBR reviews and recs on my ‘Clean Reads’ YouTube channel. 💙

Well written and nice novella. I wouldn’t have minded a full length novel where things could have been developed more, but as a novella it was good. Liked the characters and storyline.

An enjoyable short quick read. This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast as a regency romance. It's very loosely based on the fairy tale but is an enjoyable read in it's own right.
June 11, 2023
An easy and sweet story that delivers a dose of HEA at one sitting. While it loosely fits within the confines of Beauty and the Beast, I’d classify it as grump/sunshine.

Sweet Regency retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Quite enjoyable.
April 30, 2024
This is a novella, a short one at that, and was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. My quibbles are that the beast wasn’t really beastly, just cranky, and his crankiness was self-imposed for pretty thin reasons, the reason the hero’s parents jumped into a carriage and headed to London in a storm was conveniently vague (Dear Author: I couldn’t think of one either), and I really didn’t like the hero letting the heroine leave without saying a word but with a lovely parting (?) gift. Also it could have used some singing and dancing teapots and candelabras.
But it was well-written and followed the Beauty and the Beast story faithfully, and I liked it.

I love Beauty and the Beast retellings! This one has a sweet, determined, and sacrificial heroine, and the hero was appropriately gruff, temperamental, and with a tender heart in need of genuine love. It was a pleasant read and while short, it wrapped up nicely.

What a sweet novella! I am trying to cross off books on Joanna Barker’s backlist and this was such a good quick read.
I liked the plot and even with a fast pace the romance was well developed. These were two characters both looking to change their circumstances and exhibited nice character arcs that had me rooting for them. I loved the direction the last act took and the heartfelt sincerity of connection between Henry and Rose.
Overall audience notes:
- Historical Romance Novella
- Language: none
- Romance: kisses

It is a great feeling when you read the last words of a book and feel content. All was well with the story and it felt like a wonderful ending.
This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in the Regency Period. The male MC is not a physical beast as in the original story, he is a surly and onery Baron. Rose was such a good influence on him and showed that there are really those who are kind by nature.

This is the sweet little story of a down-on-her-luck daughter of a bookshop owner who's in prison for debt. Rose has no money; her father, as, apparently, too-many-to-number HR fathers do, gambled away everything, even the loans made to him to shore up the bookshop's finances.
So dad's in debtors' prison and Rose wants to work off her father's debt to Henry, Baron Norcliffe, and applies for a servant's position at his home. She's the Beauty and he's the Beast in this bland and colorless rendition of the fairy tale. Henry's grumpy and living an isolated life because of sad events in his past. Rose is compassionate and optimistic. You know what's going to happen.
There are a couple of villains and a minor mystery and, of course, the low-key romance. I got this on a bargain day. It's not much of a story. The author does have a decent command of English and grammar and the book is relatively well edited, so there's that. (2.5 stars.)

3/5 ⭐️ This was a cute, sweet, and clean novella. It is a beauty and the beast retelling and I enjoyed it, but it was not very memorable or special to me. It was also kind of predictable. I did think that the writing was great and I liked the main characters together.

A Novella
4.5 stars rounded up
I love Beauty and the Beast retellings. This one was unique and enjoyable. Due to the nature of the short story, the emotional and character development was not as nuanced as I have come to expect from Joanna Barker. However, I believed the quick 180 change of attitude with the Baron. I plan to continue the series.

My copy of Dracula is seriously judging me for choosing to read trashy (I say that endearingly) historical romance instead of finishing a beloved classic, but sometimes you're just in the mood for two people of differing social classes to stare longingly at each other

Really enjoyed this short little fairytale retelling! It definitely could have been a bit longer, but this was still very sweet and precious.
April 3, 2019
I thought this was going to be like a "Beauty and the Beast" type of read, and although he was brooding (he had good reason), it was more "Cinderella-ish". I enjoyed this quick read very much! I look forward to reading other books this author writes!

Sweet Regency Fairytale
I really enjoy fairytale retellings and this was a fun novella. I thought the author did a great job in creating something new and fresh by putting her own twists on this classic tale, set in the Regency period. While I wish it could have been longer and had more buildup it was still a fun and quick read.

A mildly entertaining bit of fluff. It was easy to read, and provided a few smiles, but I found it too simplistic and the connections to Beauty and the Beast are fairly loose. I enjoyed Henry as a character, but Rose seemed undeveloped and the other characters are all one-dimensional. I'm glad I read Barker's newer novel Otherwise Engaged first as I think she's improved as a writer since Beauty and the Baron -- I will keep my eye on her new offerings, though probably won't look for any of her earlier works (I couldn't get into Secrets and Suitors, either.)

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies, and this retelling is everything it should be. It was perfect. I couldn’t imagine loving it more.
January 12, 2019
I absolutely love new takes on old fashioned fairy tales, and this is another fantastic one! This story pulls you in from the first chapter and hearkens back to it's fairy tale roots in subtle, wonderful ways. The main couple are separate, intriguing people with pain in their past, and how they grow closer together was so fun to read. Loved this new story from my favorite new Regency author! A definite must read if you love this genre, and even if you don't, try it!
