Taken By The Beast: Book 1

by Brittany Carter

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE DOMINATE MALES DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.

Piper Sloane is the epitome of a sad broken-hearted woman. She's running from her ex-boyfriend whom she found in the shower with another woman.

Though when she packed her bags to jump ship, she never expected to get lost, or for her hero not to be a hero at all.

She realizes quickly that her gallant knight isn't gallant or a hero.

He's brutish.

Unpolished.

Barbaric.

And not quite human.

Genres: Dark Romance, Retellings

Retelling de la bella y la bestia que tenía muy buena pinta pero que ha pasado sin pena ni gloria.

Para mi, el mayor problema es el ritmo de la historia. El principio es muy rápido, va directo al asunto, lo que se puede hasta justificar ya que casi todo el mundo conocerá el cuento pero, de repente se para en seco y el ritmo es mucho más lento. Por lo que aunque el tiempo transcurrido dentro de la historia es de unos cuantos días, se te hace eterno. Entonces alcanzamos la parte final y otra vez se acelera, parecía bastante interesante éste pero se lo ventila tan rápido que no le hace justicia.

Así que digamos que la idea no era mala pero la ejecución ha sido bastante floja. Personalmente no lo continuaré.

Mel's review "Taken by the Beast"

Loved this book. The Louisiana setting was great. I can just imagine the scenery. Piper and Zander stole my heart. Now I hope William can find his Happy ever after too.

4.75⭐
A wonderful retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I really enjoyed this one. It started a bit slow, but the moment things started to pick up, I really couldn't stop reading. love it!

I love fairytale retellings and the book as a whole and the story was fantastic, however every time the MMC called the FMC “little one” in almost every sentence of dialogue between the two of them it made me physically cringe. There were also several typos in the ebook but overall I did enjoy the story! I did love the werewolf elements, the twist of the curse, and everything of that nature.

Beauty

I throughly enjoyed this retelling. Caution it is a slow burn Romance. I hope there is another book discussing William finding his mate. The brother needs love too. Piper and Zander make for sarcastic comedy and their banter is a need for any couple.

It was a good story but definitely needs proofreading. It also seemed to only scratch the surface in alot of the dialogue and storyline. It definitely is lacking depth which is why I had to give it a 1 star.
