I think the narration voice should have been more consistent with the education level of the characters. If you totally want to lose yourself in a book filled with steamy scenes and non-stop action this is the book for you.

As for their journey, there is something between them and they both have what the other seems to need in this world, so we’ll see how things evolve further in the next book. When it’s an author I already enjoy, well, I’m all in to see how they will take the tale and make it their own, and boy has this author made it her own and I gotta say that I really enjoyed it. Her other loves include her hilarious husband, her two crazy but cute dogs, and her ninja cat that sometimes thinks he’s a dog too.

In her free time, she enjoys watching all sorts of movies, playing video games, and cooking up some delicious meals. She also knowingly manipulated him and his feelings for her (for protection, I understand), but did that instead of simply acknowledging that she was attracted to him. She's never disobeyed, never objected, just always been that good girl and done what was asked of her. This is a thick metal collar, on his neck, and he’s suddenly strong enough, and without damage to his neck, to rip this collar apart.

The innocent black-haired girl with pretty pink lips, whose father I was supposed to hunt, dares to get in my way. So again nor realistic especially if that was the amount the bad guy needed back to keep his business running. She turns her head, but it won’t stop me from inching even closer and reveling in her scent right at the base of her neck. Towards the end, we have quite a few important character revelations that I’m hoping yield some more vulnerable and emotional moments between these two- and I’m excited to see just how they find their way out of the VERY imminent, perhaps fatal, dangers looming. Beast is used as a tool to hunt down and kill whomever his boss deems necessary and on his latest hit he encounters Aurora aka Beauty who he takes back to his boss, was it a smart move?

Nothing is quiet as exciting to her as reading a good book and then talking about it or making comments while reading with her friends that have read the book too.

Beast isn’t just a monstrous man, he’s a man who has been deprived of social interaction, normal human living conditions, basic human knowledge. If you are looking for something that is more closely inspired by Beauty the Beast this isn’t it- we have a hero named Beast who kidnaps our heroine, but we soon learn they are both captives of a more powerful man. So when he is task to kill a Mafia leader who owes Lex money, he fails and kidnaps our heroine Aurora instead. She knew all of this, or at least had an inclination, and still judged him and made him feel embarrassed for not knowing certain things or whatever.It was very short which left very little time for the characters to really bond and get to know each other.
