this is a twisted a beauty and the beast it's somewhat modern yet also different places that are more along lines of the actual fairy tale. It also it's very steamy and very erotic very quickly so it is yes it is hot very hot

I'm torn about how to rate this book.
It's definitely a retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast.
But it's not my favorite.
I liked the author bringing in the idea of a "villain" type character. One, we wouldn't expect or want to have a HEA, but in Scar's case, we root for him. However, I wasn't 100% sold on the idea of having Belle and Scar meet by competing and antagonizing each other over Beast's affections right from the beginning. When this happened, I was soured toward the threesome as a whole. Maybe had Beast looked back or even said something to Scar right away, rather than leave Belle out of the loop for 3 whole days...maybe it wouldn't have seemed so bad.

Belle is a non traditional princess who just isn't into all the princess stuff . She is an avid reader and a dreamer. When she follows a cat to a tree that transports her to an alternate land . Where she meets the Beast who is a shifter king who is trying to figure how to have his two mates in his life when the prophecy says that he can only one. When he finds Belle he knows she is his mate but he also knows there is someone else out there for him and Belle. Scar is a rugged biker who wants more than the rough and tumble life style in his lifestyle . When he meets the Beast he is transported with Belle to the land of the Beast. Will they be able to figure everything out and find the love that all three of them want and need .
This is a mmf story that has three very hot characters . Beast is a shifter king an he has the weight of a prophecy on his shoulders . He doesn't just want one mate he wants both of them. He is a sexy and oh so broody but when it comes to his mates he is all dominate and taking a no holds barred approach to things . Scar is well he is also a sexy biker, who is looking for the one person that he can be with that will be good for him and is a big bear that likes to cuddle afterwards. He is gruff and speaks his mind and doesn't hold back. Belle is one of the princess's that really doesn't care about all the princess stuff that the rest of them do. She is a rebel , sassy and sweet but part of her is a little bit naive when it comes to the men in her life. I truly like the characters and the way the author has written them They are complex and well written.
This is one of those books that has three character points of view. and sucks you in from the very beginning . Each character has their own self doubts they have to work through. This is a twisted retelling that is a little sweet and a whole lot of sexy . So if you want a twisted fairy tale that has you hooked from the start and you love shifters . This would be a book for you .

I listened to the Audiobook of this story.
Narrated wonderfully by Christina Rose ,with her voice she transports you to another world..and does an excellent performance of all the characters and her voice was perfect for the roles she played out.
I enjoyed listening to Christina's voice.
This is a very intriguing and enjoyable story By Rose Adam who puts a very sexy spin on all the fairytales we grew up reading.
But this is no innocent fairytale it is hotter than hades at times and Rose Adam really sexed it up.
This is an MMF story between Belle,Beast and Scar as Belle finds herself caught up in another world..
A world ruled by the Beast a shifter King who must adhere to a prophecy and allow this prophecy to come to pass.Then there is a rough biker Scar who is yearning for a better life..
There is alot going on in this book and its a story I can't describe but really relished listening to it,I love listening to re-tellings of familiar stories,and BEAST by Rose Adam is a very steamy and interesting one,with great narration.
Loved it.

Taking a tale as old as time and reworking it is not a new storyline but this one seemed to bring a new look at Belle and the Beast. Belle's character is not a people person at all. She likes being alone but is lonely. She loves her books and wants to spend the day reading. She also seems a little childish at times and naive. Yet she has a strong sexual appetite. Beast is wanting g to find his mates yet doesn't since he has to only pick one. He is not much of an Alpha but good leader. He has poor communication skills but makes up for that in the bedroom. Scar - well he just wants love. He is very selfish and rude to people. But when told to do something he does it. These 3 had a lot to work out. The story does not give you much if any background on these 3 characters. Nor why the curse is in place. The ending was wrapped up nicely. I liked how Belle told off the last character to appear. She made a good point. This is a MM, MF and MFM book.

Beast is a rollercoaster ride of a fairytale that is full of angst, doomed prophesies, paranormal beings, parallel realms and steamy, spicy MM,MF,MFM between Beast, Belle, and Scar. Be warned this moves at a quick pace and it isn't quite the story you think it is. The King must find his fated mate but he knows he has two mates and the prophesy says he can only pick one or the kingdom is doomed to the darkness. Can the King make the right choice for his people, will he destroy one mate over the other, will his kingdom survive? There is only one way to find out read this to the end and be enticed and enchanted like Beast, Belle, and Scar. Favorite character is Kisa the cat.

[Siobhan D · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant narration from Christina Rose, who brings the characters, drama and chemistry all to your ears.

Belle finds herself falling through a portal and landing in a strange world,. It is there she meets a very grumpy king. He is know as the the Beast, he is shifter king, with a wolf and bear inside of him. When he mates he most choose between either one of shifter forms can be the mate. Lets throw in a Scar, a rugged biker, we have a hot MMF story.

Belle dreams of a prince of her own. After following a cat into the woods, she finds herself in another land. She's then rescued by a handsome man who warms her blood. Beast is a shifter king who is fighting a prophecy that says he must choose only one mate. He must protect his people, but must he break his heart in the process? Scar is a biker who wants someone to love him and take him away from his current life. Will all three of them get their happily-ever-after?

Mm and mf and mmf group intimacy abounds.
Great story premise and good flow. Because I'm a stickler I did get knocked out of the story a few times for wrong word choices as well as the speed with which the characters got down unprotected but was able to get back into the story pretty quickly. I really hope that we get a story about Kisa coz I've got questions. I will keep reading the series because the story is good despite the issues mentioned.

Loved it!

Beast, Scar, and Belle are perfect! I loved this fairytale retelling with a twist. There's cute parts and then there's steamy scenes. I loved the dynamic between all three characters. I have added it to my reread list. I can't wait to get the other books in the series! Definitely recommend!

[Sandra Sanches · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet,steamy and with a dash of humor!

A twisted and very hot retelling of a fairytale ,that mixes elements of several fairytales with a great sense of humor.
A shifter king with a wolf and a bear inside him ,a sweet girl that falls through the mirror ,a scarred biker ,a prophecy of destrution ,the cuttest magic cat and enough smut to make you burn ,it's all in Beast!

[Janet Smith McHardy · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Belle fall through a portal and lands on a strange world, she meet a rather grumpy Beast. He is king of all he surveys and very easy on the eyes. Beast has a choice to make, he has two mates but can only choose one. Who will it be Belle on Scar. Who's heart will be broken. This is a wonderful twisted tale. the characters a sarcastic and hot. the story fun and the narration excellent.

[Darlene · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yes you can judge a book by it's cover-it's as hot as the contents inside. This MMF "romance" of fated mates is a masterful retelling of a classic fairy tale. The dynamic between Belle, Scar and the shifter King simply known as Beast is interesting as they grow to "love" each other in an unconventional way. Well-written but it was a little too hot at times for my liking.

[Ashley Martinez (ilovebooksandstuffblog) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fast-paced steamy twisted fairy tale retelling! I really enjoyed the overall story and the characters were enjoyable as well. I enjoyed the twists on the fairy tales.

The story moved fast and there was plenty of steam! If you love fated mates, MFM, shifters, twisted fairy tales, portal fantasy, prophecy, angst, and spice then check this one out!

[Georgia Tumbleweed McNabb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Warning: Implicit sexual scenes MF & MM if this will bother you then this is Not the book for you. The story is funny and amusing, characters all definitely have a twist to their personalities too. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

[Ladnamal · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an interesting story and very steamy towards the end. The main characters were assholes towards each other at the beginning but things got better once they sorted themselves out.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
