Publisher's summary

This isn't your everyday Beauty and the Beast story. Our love story was tragic, until it wasn't....

Once upon a time I fell in love with a beast.

I fell fast. I fell hard.

I loved him intensely and I trusted him completely - until he ripped my heart to shreds.

Love isn't a fairy tale.

It's messy.

It's dirty. It's painful, and it's ugly.

Until it's not....

This is Book 2 and the final book of the Beast & Beauty Devil's Blaze Duet. Book 1: Beast must be heard first.

4 1/2 ⭐️

Even though everything I’d hope would happen, didn’t happen, Christopher (beast) and Hayden got there HEA. Yes, there were a lot of aspects, of the story, that were predictable and other aspects that were pretty cornet but, isn’t that what we love about the world of romance novels? There is a comfort in the nature of romance. We all have enough crap in our daily lives that does not work out how we hope that, our literary escape should always be a comfort; in my humble opinion. I suppose, if I were critiquing a great literary novel, I could point out every flaw and point out inconsistencies, but that isn’t the point, in this case. Did this book touch me emotionally?Yes. Were the invoked emotions from both end of the spectrum? Yes; there were laughs, happy and sad tears. Did I regret the time I gave up , while listening to this book? Absolutely not! If I could, would I have changed parts of the story? Of course. I wish that Beast didn’t have to give up his relationship with Skull and his other brothers, in the club. However, that wasn’t meant to be. Hopefully, if the series continues and, particularly, Torch, Skull and their families retire from club life and move to Wyoming to spend their golden years with their childhood friend, there will be the ultimate HEA. ( Hint, Hint, Ms Marie)
Seriously, my only true complaints are as follows...
I wish that JM would stop with the cliffhangers that require purchasing of multiple books; it comes across as dishonest, to me. Kristen Ashley has written many 20+ hour books that can be purchased at one price and she is just one example of an author who has done so.
Narration, Joe Arden is the shit but, there is something about the way that Maxine Mitchell expresses her interpretation of the, “Heroine in distress” that rubs me wrong. She is very talented but her character voices often come across as pathetic; and being emotionally scarred should not come across pathetic or weak. It should come across as the opposite; being a survivor should express strength and confidence; in my humble opinion. With all this being written, the bottom line is the same, yes, I feel like this series has been worth the time I have spent listening.

Beauty... When tears fall

When your tears fall because of a heart-wrenchingly beautiful story, and when that story makes you forget your own problems...

And then you get to Annabel's epilogue and your heart aches again, but with bittersweet joy because you meet another character you were fond of before...

You smile because, although in the end you know there is a happy ending, the ending itself gave YOU peace.

Thank you again, Jordan Marie. You reminded me, through Michael and Hayden's world, that there will always be sunshine after the rain.

Best in the series

This to it is among the best MC romance stories I have read ever! This story has developed characters and is very emotional. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. It is a journey of hell, a broken MC, former enforcer learns to love and live again. I cannot imagine how talented this author must be to keep you on the edge of your seat through the entire story. The story was written in 2017 and I am so glad that I found it. I look forward to listening and reading her other works.

Best two books of the series!

I’ve listened to most of the books but these two along with Burned have been the ones I can’t put down! Maxine Mitchell is good but not on these books. I wish they would consider their narrators and how well they can present info. I hated both narrators for Skull and Beth story. As a Latina I couldn’t stand to hear how the narrator destroyed the language...
