Length: 4 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Shoshanna Evers comes an erotic re-imagining of the classic fairytale, Beauty and the Beast.

With her father's freedom at stake, Belle agrees to be the fearsome Beast's prisoner in his enchanted castle. Held as his willing captive, Belle must submit to the Beast's most primal desires to survive.

The Beast can't let his little Beauty go free, not while there's still hope that she might be the one to end his decade-long curse... and with true love's kiss, return him to the Prince he once was.

Their story is one that begins with imprisonment - he in his monstrous body, she in a dungeon - but without this predicament, Beauty would never have met the Beast.

So we shall begin with what occurred on that fateful night when everything changed: when a lover was betrayed, a man deformed, and a castle shrouded in an enchantment...

Familiar story with an erotic twist.

Belle made me blush at times but the narration was stiff and choppy, as if it was un rehearsed.

Wanted: A Beauty for a kinky Beast

Overall, very entertaining but I would still love it if the author would take the time to length her stories. She always seems to be in a big rush to get to the end, when her stories would benefit with more time passing between the characters, developing their relationship.

I thought Belle was alittle naive - she couldn't figure out Frederick was the Beast? But no matter, the prose flowed well and there was the appropriate amount of kink in all the right places.

I did not like the way she was reading the story.

The story was great. Just not the lady reading it. I did not like the way she had read it. It wasnt smooth seemed very forced.

okay story, worst narrator ever! Don't do it!

dear God, one of the worst narrators ever!!! The reading was so stilted it reminded me of William Shatner.

Ok!!

The narroter drag her words so bad that I nearly stop lesson to it. beside that the book good.

Enjoyable Story, but Horrible Narrator

The narrator was the worst I have ever heard. If it were possible, I would give her minus stars. Her intonation was all over the place. She ruined the prose. Didn't anyone listen to the book before they released it to the public? I hope this woman never narrates another story. My ears are still bleeding from hearing her read.

worst narrator ever!

Ok I was actually looking forword to hearing this book. Unfortunately the narrator made it impossible to get through she constantly had this breathy voice she used to narrate and at the end of every sentence she elongated the last word as if she was trying to sing it through. The plot was Ok but I was too put off by the narration to continue.

Who hired this woman to read an audiobook???

I've really been looking forward to this coming out on Audible, but the woman reading the book is absolutely atrocious. It's more in the delivery than her voice, so I blame the director for it, but, she always stresses the last syllable of every sentence. EVERY SENTENCE. It's very distracting and not at all worth what I paid. I am BERY disappointed.

Laughable Narartion

What disappointed you about Beauty and the Beast: An Erotic Re-Imagining?

The narration was near impossible to listen to. The narrator talked like a valley girl, ending every sentence in a question. It was almost as though she thought that was how you make emphasis, or sound sultry... it was horrible.

What was most disappointing about Shoshanna Evers’s story?

The story had so much promise. An erotic retelling of Beauty and the Beast!! It ended up reading a bit more like a sad rape encounter, not a story of passion boiling past all bounds of cultural acceptance. Very disappointing.

The narrator is is really atrocious!

There could have been a lot more sex in the story. It had a good beginning, but somewhere in the middle, it went sideways. The horrible reader made it difficult to get into the erotislcism.
