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 read first.

I'm just a simple small town country girl, haunted by Alpha Men who talk in my head 24 hours a day.

I knew I wanted to write when it became clear I couldn't be happy with just viewing other people's stories. I always wanted to rewrite them.

Like why did Jack have to die? Why couldn't Rose move her butt over? Because that was a huge piece of wood she was on, people.

Happy Endings should be fought for, but they should always happen. Mine might take some curves and twists, but they eventually get there.

Having published over fifty stories, it always feels surreal that this is my life. Hitting USA Today had me crying for days, but nothing is more special than hearing from readers that they loved one of my books.

Beauty is the story of redemption... a story about broken man who gone through unspeakable pain and loss. Every where he turned.. was just a massive blackhole which swallow him up... Michael and Hayden relationship was just too complicated with so many lies..secret.. pain...Jordan it was so good.. i had to take my time to read and savor the word line by line.. Beauty is a sensitive topic.. it laced with so many layer of emotions... stomach turn.. haunted pain.. I could feel Michael's loss for his child.. When you lose someone you love especially your child..apart of your soul seems to be gone..
Hayden and the baby are the light at the end of tunnel.. their persistance..care and love slowly tearing the wall of pain and suffering...

Jordan... you deserved 2 thumbs up... this is the most difficult story i read from you... too much pain and sadness.. too much darkness...my heart was aching... how much more they can take before it breaks? I love how you describe the story even it pain my heart as I read through the book...😢😢😢😢😢 it was love that heal this two broken soul... I can feel the healing... the house which full of love... children laugh and strawberry scented everywhere...

Oh wow! I finally can breath again. I am happy that Hayden and Michael finally get their HEA. It is well deserves for both of them. Their journey is hard and sometimes at the point of no return.

And yet somehow love gives them what they need, each other. It is a wonderful perfect ending for this duet. I love how Miss Marie spares no expense on groveling. After all in romance, groveling is the best part of the story.

I also love how both characters develop well with the story. In this book both Hayden and Michael show their vulnerable side and comes together at the end. Nicely done!

Good lord Jordan! Where do I start?!? First get tissues actually get lots of tissues and maybe some more Xanax that you needed when you read Beast.

This book was absolutely amazing! We have our conclusion and our HEA Beast style. It is not a fairytale love story, but Hayden & Beasts fairytale ending.

Ok as you know no spoilers will be given.

You are taken on this emotional roller coaster that only Jordan Marie gives you. Beast is still struggling and feeling even more broken having Hayden gone. As we all know love conquers all and we experience more of the fight Beast has in him for Hayden.

Oh Hayden I love you. Seriously you are just what Beast needs. You are kind yet strong and briong out the light that we know is in him. She is such a strong heroine! TO have overcome her anxiety and be the woman that finally settles the beast.

Great job Jordan, but the final epilogue truly made me ugly cry so hard I couldn't see past the tears! You my friend are a genius! Looking forward to more!

As always We recommend Beast/Beauty and if you haven't read any of Jordan's books start from the beginning you will NOT be disappointed!

**you have to read the previous book first..

I wasn’t going to rate because I lost patience, and started to skim, but it picks up the last half. We start one month after the cliffy. Hayden has taken off after Michael’s drunken tirade. It’s a lot less pages which was a MAJOR plus. Where the first book was a back and forth with the push/pull of the relationship (still some) … this one was like a pissing contest of who had the shittier life at times.

Bottom Line- If you can hang in there it picks up and gets better. Overall ok, some parts are quite emotional, and I felt a sniffle a time or two. There’s just a lot of down times, and I never really felt the sexual chemistry which made all those scenes a smidge awkward.

"Beauty" is the story of Hayden and Michael.

The ending.. ensure thorough tearduct cleansing.

In this amazing conclusion to "Beast", Michael and Hayden reunite. They fight their virual and real demons, defeat enemies, have their child and experience one of the most beautiful HEAs out there which will make you weep like a baby. This was beautiful and a great conclusion to their story.

Loved it!

5 SMOOCHES!

Jordan Marie's Devil's Blaze MC trilogy completely blew me away with its intensely emotional, painfully dramatic plot. At the time, I proclaimed it to be Jordan Marie’s best work to date, and arguably, one of the most gritty and gripping MC romances that had ever been told. I still stand behind that statement, but I’d like to amend it slightly. From that series emerged a character whose story was so devastating, it demanded to be told. The brutality and viciousness of Michael 'Beast' Jameson's story could not be ignored, and Jordan began to unravel the tale in Beast: Learning to Breathe. Beauty: Learning to Live is the highly anticipated conclusion to the Learning to Breathe/Learning to Live duet within the Devil’s Blaze MC series, and it picks up where Beast left off.

I went into Beauty knowing full well that Jordan Marie could–and wouldn’t hesitate to–deliver another blow to the feels. With that in mind, I gathered up the jagged pieces of my heart after reading Beast, and I cracked open Beauty. Where Beast was a ferocious and shattering story that left a scarred and damaged man in its wake, Beauty was exactly what the title implied: a beautiful story about learning to live again. Just as powerfully emotional as it’s duet partner, Beauty is, however, the flipside of the coin. More hopeful, more loving and much more healing, this story got my heart racing in a completely different way. Chemistry was never an issue between Michael and Hayden, but having been apart for a while, once they reconciled, they were explosively passionate and some of the sexiest material Jordan’s ever written is in this book.

I know some readers were disappointed when Beast ended in a cliffhanger, but I really hope that once they read Beauty, they’ll understand why that was necessary. This story as a whole was so thorough, so richly developed and so layered, that it just would have been impossible, even for an author as talented as this one, to adequately and effectively communicate the level of pain and healing, of loss and love, that these characters experienced in one book. A duet within the series is exactly what this haunting story required. Once again, Jordan Marie has managed to shock and awe me with a deeply moving story. Five smooches from me!

Wow, what an ending a fantastic one at that! I have to be totally honest, as much as I loved Michael, Hayden for me was who stole the show. Her character was perfection to me. You would have never guessed that she came from where she came from and from what she had suffered through. This girl was simply beautiful inside and out, an amazing loving woman and the gentleness she felt and showed Michael...THROUGHOUT was breathtaking. She was so caring and so considerate and YET she was NO doormat either. Her character was written brilliantly!

Now, why a half star deduction and not a full 5 Stars....well for me it was and I hate to say it but ......it was Michael. He was in in his TOO much for me. Hayden deserved 110% from him and yes, I got he felt it inside BUT I needed it to be verbally confirmed to her way earlier than it was. Having both POV's throughout was GREAT and yes, I totally understood his inner feelings but for me I needed more action in the emotion department BUT I do have to say if the saying action speaks louder than words well then, HE proved that saying through and through, lol. Oh well, I guess I may be a bit tough on him but all in all his character was pretty near perfect. I guess for me when we found out that twist in regards to him and Jan and Annabelle, well, I had wished that would have helped him with his "down on himself" attitude, I mean when we got that revelation and he sort of suspected it....the rest of the time I was getting pissed that his emotions and turmoil were still there and the same as ever....I guess I didn't really like how it played out. For me, if you suspected that twist then hell why the hell were you being so tough...I guess I didn't get that part. All in all, he really and truly was great, hell, I would love to have a Michael for myself, lol!

Congrats, Jordan Marie this duet was a brilliantly orchestrated and well thought out storyline, it flowed seamlessly and you hit the ball straight out of the park on this story! LOVED it:)

Seriously, great conclusion...even if I would have preferred a single novel! Loved Hayden and Beast...everything about them! I literally can't emphasize enough, how much I think THEY should have led this series...Even though, Skull is sexy af! This novel was an emotional rollercoaster, definitely teared up a couple time...

This beautiful story is the continuation of Beast and Hayden. We left Beast brooding over his lost daughter again and Hayden running for the hills after he pushed her away. This story isn't as full of angst and emotion as the first. It's a little more light hearted but no worries, there is quite a range of emotion in this book. You will laugh, swoon, cry tears of joy and tears of sadness. You will also need a new set of panties, maybe a few times. I've never read a hotter, more perfect backend scene than a certain scene in Beauty. 😉 It's all wrapped up in beautiful epilogues.... yes more than one but totally the perfect way to end the book. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I definitely would!!

I couldn't have wished for a better ending for this hearbreaking and spellbinding story! Before you ask, NO, it wasn't perfect! But it was just right! Full of sorrow and pain, happiness and joy, and most of all… love! Just right!

This story is not pretty, but then maybe some stories aren’t meant to be pretty. That way when you get to the happily-ever-after part, you appreciate it more. You realize how truly sweet and rare it is. You realize it’s something that you will never take for granted.

Two broken people going through hell to find their way together, with vengeance and death hard up on their heels.

Our Beauty, Hayden, needs to find the strength to overcome her fears and stand up and fight for what she loves.


In real-life you don’t always get fairytales. You don��t always get the love and the happily-ever-afters. You get pain. You get tragedy. That’s what our story is—Michael’s and mine. Our story was messy, dirty, painful, and even tragic. Until it wasn’t.


And then there is our Beast! Beautiful, broken, scarred and angry Michael! He needs to let go of his past and learn to live again! Damn! A girl could really fall for Michael!!


Before Hayden came into my life I was barely alive. I was dying from the inside out. It was just a matter of time before I worked up the courage to end it all. That’s what I came to North Carolina to do, I can admit that now. But then something happened. No. Someone happened. Hayden happened. She stormed into my life in a rainstorm, riding a chainsaw and my life has never been the same since. Hayden somehow resuscitated me. Taught me how to breathe again. Until eventually, I was breathing and taking in each new day. She made me want to see the sun come up, instead of hating it. She made me want to survive another day, just to see what she gave me next. Because that is Hayden—she gives with her whole heart. First she gave me a reason, she gave me her body, she gave me love, and then slowly she gave me life. I once thought Hayden came into my life to teach me. That she was here so I could learn to breathe again. I know now that I was wrong. She is a gift that taught me to live. I learned to live again, all because of this beautiful, fiery woman, with eyes the colour of a stormy sky.

Just as it's predecessor, this sequel will wring you dry and put you through the wringer. The emotional rollecoaster doesn't slow and the pace doesn't relent. It is just as dark and perhaps a little more violent than the first. And it's a hell of ride till the very end.


I honestly can't tell how Jordan Marie manages to make you feel so sad and yet so happy at the same time, but she does it! I don't know if this is what she sets out to do will all her books as I've only read 4 of them. But I'm sure as hell going to read more to find out!

I was so excited to jump right back into Michael and Hayden's world in Beauty after the crazy (cliffhanger) ending in Beast. I needed to know what happened and how Michael would cope with chasing off the best thing to ever happen to him after the tragedy of his daughter's death years ago. And after reading can I just say OMG amazing?! This story has love, passion and an emotional intensity that far surpassed book one. In this book we begin to see Michaels deep feelings for Hayden and how he reconciles that with his guilt of having a life after Annabelle. I thought this novel was absolutely fantastic and could not get enough!!!

After the shocking ending in book one we find that Michael (aka Beast) is still keeping tabs on Hayden after running her off and despite putting on a front that he doesn't care, continues to worry and watch out for her safety in case Blade comes back to hurt her. In the process though, Michael and Hayden reconnect when danger strikes. And can I just say their reunion is HOT! Fireworks, folks! I loved seeing Michael and Hayden's passion and intensity as their chemistry was fiery hot. In addition I loved that Hayden did not make it easy for Michael. He really had to come to a few realizations that he could not live without her and the baby. This was one of my favorite parts of the book! I loved seeing this growly, hardened man brought to his knees by the love of a good woman.

All in all this was a fantastic read. Hayden and Michael were sexy and sweet and the underlying hint of danger kept me hooked from the get-go. . I look forward to more from this author! Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula

Not worth a full read.

The ratings must be bots at this point because this was complete and utter disappointment. Jordan Marie must love her heroines in the form of doormats because that’s all the kind of female MCs she seems to be capable of writing. Ones who just fall at the feet of the so-called “bad boy” who’s “damaged goods.” 40 pages in and Hayden is ready to welcome Michael with open arms. Must be desperate to have a daddy for her baby.

This was a painful read and not in a heart wrenching way, but in an irritatingly annoying way. I could not stomach finishing this and most likely will be the last I read from this author. This has been the 4th book from Jordan Marie that I could not get through. I really tried to give her a chance, but honestly her characters get worst and worst each book. I genuinely do not understand why this book had as much high ratings as it did. The standards for heroes and heroines and romance novels in general have hit rock bottom if this book is a marker for what is good.

Where there is love, anything is possible...
Beast and Hayden's story is not a pretty one with a happily-ever-after you commonly expect in most romances... No... their story is one of great pain and tragedy... messy and dirty until it isn't. They both stormed into eachother's lives and each new day became more bearable... learning to live again was no longer a hardship but a beautiful gift. Beast had been stripped of any form of normalcy and life from his catastrophic past... until Hayden... she brought "Beauty" into his harsh life. The final book of this duet delved deep into my body and twisted my heart so vigorously... I literally stopped breathing! But Jordan Marie worked her magic, mended and restored all the broken... she's AWESOME that way! 5 Theraputic Stars for a story that schools us that " love is too powerful for death to claim."

Beauty, my god I can’t even describe what Jordan has done here but I will try.

We start off Beauty where we left off in Beast. The fallout and the guilt Michael feels over his feelings for Hayden. He forgot Annabelle’s birthday, and that is something he can’t comprehend or forgive himself for. So he lashes out at the one person who makes him feel alive Hayden.

Michael (Beast) and Hayden, you think finally they are going to get there happily ever after. What Beast went through losing Annabelle is something no parent should ever have to go through but to lose her so tragically is beyond belief.

Hayden is also a broken soul but with Michael’s love she feels something she has not felt before. Safe. But after Michael lashes out at her she realises that she can’t stay here. She needs to leave and start somewhere fresh. But with the threat of Blade still looming she makes a call to Victor and accepts his offer of help.

Fast forward Wyoming and Hayden’s new life. New friends and a new business. Though still under the protection of Victor she tries to get on with her life. But forgetting a man like Michael is not easy. The love she feels for him is not something you can turn off. Michael though may have chased her away she was never far from his eyes. He made a promise to protect her and her unborn baby and that is something he will do till death. He struggles though, being so near but not being able to be part of the life she has created. But it’s not just that. It’s Annabelle also. Is he going crazy? Is it her voice and her presence he feels?

Things come to a head quickly though when Hayden is threatened Michael emerges from the shadows and re-enters her life. Hayden struggles at first having the man she loves so close it’s a blessing and a curse. Wanting to be with him but also not wanting to be hurt again. But a love like she feels for Michael can’t be turned off and it becomes a struggle to contain the feelings she is having by having him so close to her. Michael is also struggling, having something you crave and cherish so close but not being able to express it is killing him. But he is also aware of the demons that lurk in his mind and he cant help but wonder if he’s going to lose it again and hurt Hayden. But he also can’t help but try. She makes him feel alive and human. Knowing that this incredible woman loves him is not something he can fully comprehend but he does know that it’s rare and it’s something he will grab onto and not let go of. The arrival of the baby cements things between Hayden and Michael and the bond they have over this new little life is heartbreakingly beautiful. Cue the tears ladies, that’s all I can say.

Just when you think life may have stopped kicking these two down and they may get their chance at a life full of love and happiness, a new threat emerges. Blade is one, but there is also a new player involved. One that I did not see coming. One whose thirst for revenge against Michael is burning in the darkness. He will stop at nothing to bring Michael to justice, his hatred of Michael is scary and ugly.

When Michael goes missing Hayden is hysterical, she knows that she can’t live without him. He’s her other half, the reason she breaths. Her and the baby need him. He’s everything and she will stop at nothing to bring him home. Old friends make an appearance when Skull arrives to help. He also feels guilt over his part in all this. Not only what Michael went through but for also not checking in on Hayden when he was first asked.

Devil’s appearance in this book just had me flat out laughing. That man is funny as hell. His throw away one liners had me choking on coffee at one point. But the friendship he has with Michael also made me smile. Even though Michael tried to close himself off Devil would not allow it. The nickname Sunshine is fitting somehow, Devils way of humanising Michael maybe not sure. But he never waivers in his support for him. That kind of bond between people is rare. And I am dying for his story.

But I think the thing that really impacted on me in Beauty was Annabelle. The idea that something like this could even be possible, her presence in Michaels thoughts is strong and really gives you some hope. You don’t lose that kind of love you have for a child. And I think the narrative that Jordan created was perfect. This little girl who was such a joy to her dad is not something that can be forgotten. I loved that Hayden was also included in this. That she felt something showed that Annabelle also new that Hayden was the person to take over and love her Daddy literally had me crying. Not many authors can do that. But Jordan’s ability to bring you into the stories so you feel part of it is something that I treasure and I look forward to many more years of this incredibly talented author and what she creates.

The book Beauty is a perfect compliment to Beast, book 1, in every way!

Hayden and Michael, or Beauty and Beast, are devastated being apart but life goes on. Moving to Wyoming, Hayden starts afresh with a new career and some new friends. Life is good except that Michael isn't in her life any more. Michael misses Hayden fiercely but after pushing her away doesn't trust himself near her again. Blade is still out there, a threat to Hayden, Michael and the baby!

The story is told from Michael, Hayden and Blade's points of view; giving the reader an all round understanding of the storyline and characters. Once again Jordan Marie clearly describes the characters making them become life-like and so easy to relate to.

This is an easy to read story because the story flows so smoothly. There is plenty of action and drama as well as love and passion, the touch of humour is the icing on the cake! Devil's character is perfect for this and lends a touch of lighthearted fun to the storyline.

Another fabulous story by this author!

Hayden aka beauty and Michael aka beast' s story is a heartbreaking roller coaster ride of emotions. Life is hard for us all but there are those in life who have been through more than their fair share of trouble, heartbreak and grief, this is Hayden and Michaels story.
This story which starts in the book Beast is just that, a story of two people who have witnessed and lived through the ugliest most vile situations a human being can go through. Add in the lose of a child and I have no words for those emotions I felt, sweet Annabelle and her strawberry scent, how I wish that were true in real life.
But this story isn't just about lose its about being strong, learning to find and accept that you deserve happiness. That all the ugly didn't destroy you, that you are strong and deserve unconditional love. This story will touch every emotion you have and remind you to be thankful every day for the blessings you have, for they can be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Love, life, lose, drama, the good and the bad times this is a story that touches them all.

Beauty is the continuing love story between Beauty and her Beast. Hayden has been pushed away by Beast and winds up in Wyoming to live. Finally, Beast follows her there and keeps watch on her because he realizes his life and heart are empty without her. When they meet in the bakery, all the hurt that Hayden endured from Beast surfaces but she eventually forgives him and they begin to mend. Hayden is a strong woman , she vows to love this tortured man and to ease his guilt over the death of his daughter. Jordan Marie writes the perfect love story. She lets us experience Beast's journey that is ugly and hard but Hayden's love brings him to a place of peace and beauty. Beast and Beauty's story tells us that Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. It never fails not even in death. I recommend you read Beast and Beauty. Bravo, Jordan

Devil's Blaze MC - Book 8 - Beauty - Learning To Live - by Jordan Marie

This is the eighth book in the Devils Blaze MC and the concluding part of Beast's and Beauty's Duet. This story was all I could of hoped for and more. The quality of the storytelling shows the outstanding writing capabilities that the author Jordan Marie has. She writes a story with so much feeling and depth of emotions that you can feel as if you are experiencing their hurt, heartache or happiness right along with the characters. Beast and Hayden have both been through so much and their characters are exceedingly gritty and real. They have their own fairytale. It's not filled with chocolates and flowers but with loss, hurt, pain instead but the story is theirs and in its own way is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. At the end of the first part of the Duet Beast and Hayden had split up so the beginning of this book leads on from that point. It shows how these two incredibly strong and resilient characters tried to fight their demons to open their hearts to each other to find some hope, trust, a place to call home within one another and most importantly love. A love that gives them all of that and so much more, a family, a sense of belonging. This book is everything no question. It still has action, funny one liners, camaraderie between the brothers as Diesel and Skull both bring their clubs in to help out with a difficult situation. The friendship and humour between Beast and Devil is still a thing if beauty even if neither of them understand it lol. Most noticeable is the strength that Hayden now has, a new confidence that shows how much she has grown along with Beast/Michael now trying to be more open, accept that he is still trying to heal emotionally and mentally along with physically but he is willing to let Hayden in and see it. Knowing he won't be completely whole but he is trying because he loves her and their family. The Annabelle scenes melted my heart completely and I am glad she has her uncle with her. The chemistry between Hayden and Michael continues to be high heat and explosive, another writing aspect this author excels at constantly in her wroting in my opinion. All in all this book was exceptional for me and I could not put it down, more importantly I didn't want to. Jordan Marie is an author I would highly recommend and again in my opinion, I feel without doubt she truly is a real, creative, imaginative storyteller that gives a story that is hard to top. Happy Reading.
5 out of 5 stars.

5 Shooting Stars!!! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

I'm an utter mess, what a beautiful story. My heart is fit to burst. I just adore Michael (Beast) he has absolutely stolen my heart and I don't want it back.

My poor tortured scarred man, I could literally feel his pain and devastation radiating from the pages.
He was a man close to the edge barely hanging on to his life and his sanity. Then as we know he met Hayden and she changed everything for him. I bloody loved her for that reason.

As we know Beast has a lot of problems he pushed Hayden away thinking he didn't deserve her. His past is still ruling his life. He can't move on.
Even though she's left Beast still keeps an eye on Hayden. Kidding himself that he doesn't want her back. Staying in the shadows.

That is until he senses danger and he can't stay away any longer. He's already lost someone he loves, he won't survive it again. It's time to get back and protect what belongs to him.

This story wasn't an easy fluffy read it was filled with so many emotions I cried so much, it was heart breaking at times but there was so much joy, love and hope too. I even had some laughs because Devil cracks me up. (You'll love this guy)

To say Jordan did Beast justice would be an understatement. I can only imagine how difficult it is to write not just one but two books for a complex character like him.
But she nailed it. I'm 100% happy it was perfect in every way.
Beast and Beauty are now my favourite Jordan Marie books to date. A fantastic Duet.
Thank you for an amazing journey. 💗

Epic, I knew that Beauty was gonna be epic. I totally fell in love with Beast and his beauty in book 1. I didn't realize I could fall even deeper in love with them. There's so much heart ache and tragedy. They've been through so much. You feel their pain and you heart aches with their's. This is a beautiful story of heartbreak, tragedy and love. Learning to heal and make peace with yourself and the past. There's just so much love. There were times I wanted to cry throughout the book, but it was the final epilogue that finally had me in tears. It was beautiful, so very beautiful. I want to thank Jordan for adding that last part, it truly touched my heart. I definitely recommend that you read both Beast and Beauty. You won't regret it, It's a beautifully​ tragic love story.

4.5 stars.

Liked this a little less than Beast but this was still really great and a second favorite of the series.

While Hayden didn't instantly forgive Michael, I do wish he graveled a little bit more.

And once again, the constant feelings when something bad was about to happen was getting on my nerves. There was a very sweet explanation but as soon as it started I was over it. And just so anyone who reads this knows where I'm coming from, I completely believe in I also believe in people getting feelings that something isn't right, I've learned to trust that little voice/feeling saying when something is wrong. However, when it's done every time (and I mean every time) it gets really annoying.

Continuous story of Beast and Hayden. Jordan Marie did an Amazing job on this book. The story is very well written. I could not put this book down. The story kept me on the edge of my seat. It's filled with emotions. Jordan Marie put so much in this book. She's a Fabulous Author. I highly recommend reading Beast and Beauty. I have loved Beast the moment I read about him in Claiming crusher. He deserves to be happy and loved. Beast has gone through so much heartache. Hayden is perfect for Beast. Hayden is a strong woman, she has also gone through so much. Hayden and Beast are absolutely Perfect together. Their chemistry is off the charts sizzling hot. Just sexy. This is an Incredible story. I felt like on I was an emotional rollercoaster. Wonderful book. Thank you so much, Jordan Marie. Phenomenal work <3 Loved it :)

**must read Beast first**

Beast broke my heart...
...he thought he was broken beyond repair...
Then Beauty came into his life...and still thought that he wasn't worthy...

Beauty love gave him strength to fight his demons...
I love this duo, my heart broke, my heart rejoice, they are perfect fit for each other..

This a beautiful story about love...with all the mc thrills, suspense, and steam!

Beauty is the conclusion to Beast and it is beautiful. Jordan Marie once again weaves a story that will keep you breathless wanting more. Michael and Hayden's journey is not an easy one but love is real, messy, raw and not always a walk in the park. But Beauty makes you believe in true love.
It's emotional, sexy action packed ride you will not want to put down. My emotions were all over the place with Beauty, I laughed, I cried, I screamed and I needed a cold shower a few times.
Perfect conclusion to Beast! 5 amazing stars!!

Jordan Marie does it again! The painful and emotional and steamy love story between Beast and his "Beauty" comes to a stunning AND breathtaking conclusion in this final part of the duology.
The cliffhanger at the end of Beast nearly killed me...but I was so happy to see how everything worked out in the end...even though it was a violent and emotional and horrible journey to get to that HEA. That final epilogue was sweet and a tad spiritually uplifting.
If you want some romantic and sweet bikers...you will find them in this series...but you will also find evil, dirty, naughty and twisted as well. Loved it!
