The Beast: A Steamy Modern Fairytale Retelling

Rate this book
New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren, delivers a scorching hot fairytale retelling with a tortured ex-soldier and a beautiful maid who changes everything.

Once upon a time, a scarred billionaire retreated from the world...

The minute I saw her I knew she would be my weakness.

Gorgeous. Innocent. Sweet.

Far too young for me, but I can't control my desire.

I hired her to clean my house, knowing she would be the ultimate temptation. Then she catches me moaning her name in an intimate moment.

And a beautiful college student draws him back out...

She seems to want me, despite my scarred face and grumpy demeanor.

But can a broken beast of a man ever become worthy of a beauty?

I want her more than I can bear.

Enough to return to my alma mater as a professor.

I never could have expected to see her sitting in my classroom on the first day of the semester. Now the world wants to keep us apart, but I'll do everything to fight for her. For us.

THE BEAST is a collection of the two novels, BEAUTY AND THE PROFESSOR and FALLING FOR THE BEAST, in an incredibly hot and heartbreakingly romantic beauty and the beast retelling.

fun story

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️( not because the scenes were that salacious there were just sooooo many)

I enjoyed this story. The tension. The brokenness of the characters, and how they overcame their prejudices and insecurities to love each other. I've never been one to get bashful about spice. However I was noticing in the second part of the story I was skimming large swaths of the story cause the spice was getting redundant and I wanted the plot to plot.

Overall I liked it. I didn't love it.
