Beauty's Beast

“I’m going to teach you, sweetness. How to give yourself fully to me.”

Her chest rises and falls rapidly. But her gaze doesn’t leave mine. “I don’t know if I can do that.”

“You don’t have to do a thing.” I can’t stop myself from reaching out and touching her hair. My hand is huge by her face. I grip one of her damp locks, swallowing it in my fist. “Just let go and be mine.”

She'll pay her family's debt one way or another....

Years ago Daphne's father stole from me, and it’s time for my revenge. I’ll steal her away to my modern castle. Lock her in my tower. Make her mine in every way.

She's Beauty, and I'm the Beast.

Beauty and the Thorns

I never thought I’d see him again. My first love, back from the grave. My captor and tormentor. He holds my past, present, and future in his scarred hands. He owns me. No matter how far I run, my path leads me back to that lonely castle. Back into the arms of the beast.

Beauty and the Rose

They say the gods will accept no small sacrifice. To appease them, you must give your all. I’ve sacrificed everything. Lived through loss and learned to love. To take the beauty with the pain. The rose with the thorns. This love story isn’t perfect, but it’s ours. We’ll hold onto it forever. And hope our forever is longer than a day.

Overall well written story

Only thing, the voice actors kept mispronouncing the “ubelli” name. It drove me wild everytime I heard it as I already went through the other series with Cora and Marcus as characters. But the story and voice actors told it well. I loved it.

Billionaire’s Captive

The way the Master treated the heroine disagreed with me. He would be gentle at times, but mostly severe as he believed the heroine was involved with his Destruction. It had a nice ending, but glad I finally finished it.

Intense

This book was very intense, so much drama but very tastefully done if you can get past the BDSM, which I had no problem with. Interesting storyline and great narrators to develop characters.

Dark and yummy

This is an absolutely phenomenal box set. A dark and delicious romance at it's finest. Beautifully written, captivating, wonderful characters and an outstanding story line.

Logan (Beast) & Daphne

I really liked this series. It is so hot and the story really captivated me. The two MC really had to go through such ordeals to be together. My heart really hurt for Logan. He never felt like anyone picked him, wanted him, and what was done to him was just evil. Most of Daphne's world was a lie that she begins to find out throughout the series. This is such a good series and one that you really need to listen for yourself. Love Stasha Black and her books.

Omg this was sooo good! ❤

#1 Beauty's Beast - Ooh so this comes after the Innocence series or at some point during. Oh my 🥵 I am such a sucker for fairytale retellings ❤ F*****ck this is hot! 9 year age gap?
#2 Beauty and the Thorns - It just keeps getting hotter! The plot thickens. That ending!! 😱
#3 Beauty and the Rose - Awoh!! ❤🥰❤ so much feels! I love Marcus and Cora 😁 but 🤬 Adam!

A BDSM tale as old as time!

The heroine: Daphne Laurel - she became CEO of Belladonna after her father suffered a stroke. She is working with her friend Adam on a merger of their two companies. Her passion is to work in the lab as a researcher and she is on the brink of a discovery that could help a lot of people. When she attends a ball in New Olympus in order to rub shoulders with philanthropists who fun her research.

The Hero: Logan Wolfe - he hates all the wealthy people that attend events like the ball in New Olympus. Tonight he is enacting his revenge plan against Dr. Laurel, Daphne’s father who once stole something from him and did some horrible things to him. He attends the masquerade ball, dressed as a Gargoyle which closely matches the beast he thinks he is.

The Story: Every year on the day of her mother’s death, Daphne has found a single rose in her office from a secret admirer whom she knows nothing about. The security footage in her building shows nothing each year. This year, she gets a rose the day of the Ball and another at the ball. When she is led through a labyrinth to meet her admirer.

This book is told in dual points of view via dual narration. The narration is done by Brian Meslar and Kelsey-Ann O’Dowd. I enjoyed both of their voices. Kelsey-Ann has a soft and feminine voice which sounded perfect for the naïve Daphne who spent her younger years focused on her studies and is quite awkward around men. Brian has a deep and gravely voice which he made even rougher for the Beast (Logan). However, I would rather have heard his regular voice than that fake sounding rough voice.

The story is good and the romance is super steamy. For my tastes it has a bit too many intimate scenes, it seems all the intimate scenes are just a way to drag the story out for longer since the story itself doesn’t have enough meat to keep it going for three books. The parts where there was more story seemed a bit slow moving.

Good story but dragged on a bit

The story was good but had a bunch hehawing around, they could have condensed this into two books and taken out some of the fluff. But over all a good series.

this book had me so captivated

I don't want to give any spoilers away but I really enjoyed the content of the story it was the perfect blend of romance rough and action. I think this book overall was 100% worth of purchase and
if you were going to purchase it you should buy the trilogy

very hot 🔥 🥵 😍

Love the narrators! Story was sad. But hopefully it does have a happy ending in the 3rd book. I do love BDSM!🔥🔥🔥 Was a good story. Let's have a happy ending🥰🥰🥰
