When these two are temporarily set free to find her missing father for Beasts owner, Beast must choose between two paths. Now, as this is a duet and only the first book in the duet with a bit of a cliffy, this review is going to be short and sweet and vague.

She smells so nice, and it makes me want to bury my nose in her hair and lick the salty droplets of sweat off her skin. In this re-telling, The Beast has a boss, and the Beast does all the bidding the boss tells him to do. I think what was under her gloves would have been more interesting and impactful to the story if it was from a punishment for when she helped the boy when she was a little girl. The heroine is just plain stupid and comes out with the silliest of things, completely unbelievable storyline. And to have the main character publicly ridiculed and shamed for her appearance, multiple times, was disgusting.Honestly the whole thing was so convoluted and the H and h made consistently terrible decisions and yet I finished both books so 2 stars I guess. On the one hand he apparently doesn’t know the word “friends” or “parties” and he doesn’t know that not using protection will lead to pregnancy. In her free time, she enjoys watching all sorts of movies, playing video games, and cooking up some delicious meals. Her other loves include her hilarious husband, her cutie pie son, her two crazy but cute dogs, and her adorable kitties. I’m sure she ends up “learning to love herself” or another form of inspirational bullshit, but why have something like that used negatively in the first place?

Here we jump RIGHT into the action with Beast on a mission that puts him in the path of his beauty- and he decides to keep her. Well written story that I really enjoyed reading but that cliffhanger, oh my goodness I need the next book now! I think the narration voice should have been more consistent with the education level of the characters. I'm over the utter insanity that comes from an (h) taunting her captors and facing no repercussions.I read a lot of dark books and Clarissa Wild is one of my favorites at writing the dark stories I love so much. I wish I’d read the other stories just so I had a little bit of the back context, but it was easy to dive right in. The innocent black-haired girl with pretty pink lips, whose father I was supposed to hunt, dares to get in my way. Dark captivity, a primal hero and innocent heroine with a secret, forced proximity, and so much danger- it’s quite an experience! He was a boy, stolen from off the streets, kept in a cage, treated like a dog, raised/tortured to be a killer, and yet.
