Publisher's summary

Fleur: Never in a million years would I have expected a woman I considered a friend to betray me in the worst possible way. Yet it happened. Drugged and in the back room of a BDSM club, I was about to be used in a brutal way. Until he exploded to my rescue.

Beast: I’m Salvation’s Bane's enforcer. My job is to protect. So when I notice something amiss in the BDSM club Bane owns, I’m there to shut that shit down. What I find is a woman who ignites passions inside me better left alone.

What will she think when she finds out the lengths I’ll go to protect what’s mine? I come by my name honest. When it comes to protecting my club, or my woman, I’m the most ferocious beast you could ever imagine.

Great audiobook

This was a great book. Loved the characters and the storyline. Love they have the bad boy biker image but are the good guys. This had good world building in it and the narrator was great with the characters making you want to hear more and follow the book closely wanting more. I listened to the first book, and it hooked me some, but this one hooked me all the way. I can't wait to get more in the series. Love to that it refers to the other clubs in the Bones MC world. I received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.

Excellent story, stellar narration

Story Review:
MMC/FMC- Beast and Fleur
POV- 3rd person
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- YMMV. They do ALL the things and it’s very explicit. If you like explicit, it’s about a 4/5 on the hotness scale. If you don’t like explicit or reading about ALL the things, you would rate it lower.
Series? Y
Safety? N. No cheating, but attempted S.A.
Triggers- Attempted S.A., Torture, Language, Violence, Explicit Erotic Content, Pink Harleys
Trope(s)- Damsel in Distress, Instalust, Grumpy /Sunshine.
What I liked- I liked the character arc. Beast/Gideon is gruff but Fleur brings out the best in him. Fleur tends to be a pushover, but there was marked growth on both of their parts.
What I didn’t like- the attempted S.A. was a little hard to read.
Can we talk about… The cover. I keep thinking that the model is going to say, “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.”
Narration Review
Umi is, as always, flawless. They do all of the character voices equally well and I forgot their voice sounded feminine when she was doing the male voices.

I received an advance review copy and this is my honest, voluntary review.

Beast and Fleur

This is the story of Beast and Fleur, book 2 of the series. Each book can be read as a stand alone, however I got more out of it reading it in order. Beast is the MC enforcer. Fleur is his opposite, a soft spoken gentle women, at a low point in her life. They make a cute couple, their characteristics complimenting each other. I liked the story, and how loving Fleur showed the softer side of Beast. The narration was well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Good continuation

I enjoyed this story line I love that they are short and sweet but you still get a complete full story. I do with there was a little more interaction with the club in this one but overall it's was a good quick listen with great narration.

Nice fast-paced story

This isn’t a long book (less than 6 hours) of listening and it could have easily be double as long.
I really liked it but I probably have loved it if we gotten less speed and more character depth and development.

However, this was an enjoyable story and likable characters. I think the writing is good and so was the narrator. All in all a solid 4 stars - good but not excellent.
