My father had just sold me off.
Bartered my body to erase his debt to the very devil himself.
A Beast of a man. Literally.
A creature whispered about amongst the villagers and feared by all.
He was a beastly visage at three times the size of a man, his monstrously huge body covered in fur. Sharp fangs and eyes that held an unearthly red glow. He had pawlike hands tipped with claws and horns that arched back from his inhuman face.
I was to live with him, to be his in every way—all ways—he saw fit.
I was to be his wife, and so I offered myself up as the proverbial sacrifice to the very devil himself.
I just didn’t expect to enjoy being with a monster as much as I did.
If you're like me and have been itching to read a steamy version of Beauty and the Beast (where the Beast doesn't.. you know, magically transform into a prince) then this is the perfect story for you. You won't be able to put it down!
I have a funny confession to make, I was a bit strange when I was younger. I used to get SO MAD when Beast turned into a human. I mean, he was way hotter in his Beast form. I'm really excited that someone suggested this story to me! And I can't believe there's some spice in it.
This story is all about some steamy storytelling of Beauty and the Beast. There's a lot of spicy dialogue, especially from the Beast's perspective. Dirty and unholy! It left me speechless and definitely got my heart racing... but in a good way.
Engagement:
I was hooked from the very beginning! Who wouldn't be intrigued by the way Beast just couldn't resist Belle? It's like he was totally obsessed with her. I can't help but wonder what Belle's reaction would be if she discovered just how much Beast really wants her.
Character Development:
This story is pretty much just smut, so I don't have much to say about it. But I will admit, I did enjoy the part where Belle starts to come to terms with her situation with the Beast and discovers that he's not as evil as she initially thought. It gave their relationship a nice little twist. He’s sweet and caring despite his physical appearance. And what I love is that she secretly turned on by how the Beast dirty-talked to her, haha.
Emotional Impact:
I can't help but love the way Beast dirty talks to Belle. I wish I could switch places with her right now.
Reader Satisfaction:
Totally flipped my world upside down! I can’t believe how satisfied I am with Belle and Beast’s story. Even though the character development between them wasn’t super strong, I still really enjoyed Jenika Snow’s writing style. Overall, if you’re in the mood for some serious steaminess in every single chapter, then this story is definitely the one for you! I really appreciate how the author lets us get inside the minds of both Beast and Belle. It adds a whole new dimension to the story.
