Book Description

Can she cook up the perfect recipe for love?

Jolie Gardener, personal chef by day, aspiring romance writer by night, likes to talk and does it a lot. She has to because if she stops, all the pain, disillusionment, and abandonment of her AWOL mother, question-mark father, and foster-care childhood will rise up like a chocolate soufflé on steroids, sweeping away the fragile infrastructure of her life.
But she's fine. Really. She is.
Or so she thinks.

Todd Best isn't fine. He knows it. And doesn't care.
After his wife died—the woman who believed in him when he was a struggling artist—he put painting aside, moved from their home, and lost himself in the minutiae of daily life.
Alone. Private. The way he likes it.
The last thing he needs is some chatty cook seeping into the perfectly bland canvas of his life.
Or so he thinks.

So when Jonathan, a guardian-angel-in-training, turns himself into a kitten to help these two lonely souls find a happily ever after together, it ought to be a piece of cake.
Or so he thinks…

About the Author

PRISM Award and Golden Leaf Award-winning author, Judi Fennell, has had her nose in a book and her head in some celestial realm all her life, including those early years when her mom would exhort her to “get outside!” instead of watching Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie on television. So she did—right into Dad’s hammock with her Nancy Drew books. These days she’s more likely to have her nose in her laptop and her head (and the rest of her body) at her favorite writing spot, but she’s still reading, whether it be her latest manuscript or friends’ books. Author of “fairy tales with a twist,” pun-filled, tongue-in-cheek, contemporary paranormal romances, starting with the Tritone Trilogy about Mermen and the Humans who love them, her Bottled Magic Series about genies and magic and falling in love, and now her Once-Upon-A-Time Romances, those twisted fairy tales that were the inspiration for her tagline, "fairy tales with a twist." Dive into the romance on her website, www.JudiFennell.com, for excerpts, deleted scenes, reviews, contests, and pictures from reader and writer conferences.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Twisted Fairy Tale ! April 14, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I remember the ripples this book caused after it splashed BIG on the contest circuit after Judi introduced these characters to the world. What?!!?? A naked man wanders into the kitchen where the chef-for-hire heroine is cooking...on page ONE? Another fun read!Beauty and The Best (Once-Upon-A-Time Romance)

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book from Judi Fennell April 18, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Once again, Judi Fennell has written a perfect romance. Her characters are well developed and interact beautifully with one another. The story line was incredibly believable. I instantly fell in love with Jolie and Todd and cheered their successes and cried for their sadness. I have read all of her other books and this one is right up there with the rest. In fact, I can say this is my favorite and I cannot wait to read the others in the series. This is a must-read for fans of fantasy romance, you won't be disappointed.

This was one of those books I found hard to put down and the characters hard to stop thinking about once I finished the book. Jolie and Todd's relationship starts off a bit rocky, but they grow, both as individuals and as a couple. Ms Fennell is an auto buy for me. I love her humor and the strength of her characters. If you haven't read Beauty and the Best, you're missing a wonderful story.Beauty and The Best (Once-Upon-A-Time Romance)
