Filthy Fairy Tales #4
Claiming His Princess: A Beauty and The Beast Romance
I’m going to break Belle… and she’s going to love every second of it.
Years in my country’s most elite military unit left me scarred and damaged. Now I’m more beast than man, and I keep myself locked away - even though I'm the crown prince.
That is, until Isabelle Marchand walks into my palace, demanding her father’s freedom. She’s fiery, bold, unafraid…
...exactly the kind of woman whose submission I crave.
I’m going to take her. Keep her. Demand her sweet surrender while I dominate her in every way I know how.
And I’m going to make her scream my name with pleasure.

The first books in the Filthy Fairy Tales series were sexy fairy tale inspired romances with some BDSM-light sex. Claiming His Princess is definitely the filthiest fairy tale of them all, with way more sex than plot. It's also one of the hottest things I've ever read. Yes, the entire story has issues with Belle's ability to consent/Belle's potential Stockholm syndrome, but that's inherent in almost every version of Beauty and the Beast, so that's not an issue for me as it might be in another story (or as it might be for someone else). I'm just stunned by the smoking hotness of the sex scenes and the magnetic chemistry between Belle and Julian. Is it still a romance or is it straight-up erotica? Whatever you think it's still amazingly hot.

I have loved every book in this series! They are the perfect telling of naughty adult versions of our favorite fairytale romances. This one is a very sexy and steamy take on Beauty and the Beast, which happens to be one of my favorite fairytales. Belle and Julian heat up the pages with amazing chemistry. I definitely recommend reading this entire series.

I wasnt really a fan of this retelling of beauty and beast. 1. Bdsm but with a captive ( 😬 a little questionable) 2. Why is the beast always a bdsm lover that’s not how I would see the beast so not that there’s anything wrong with it I just never really envision the beast as such.. 3. It was basically just that there wasn’t anything really redeeming or lovable about either character.. he doesn’t really show he cares for her until almost the end.
I’m giving this a 2.8 stars

DNF
Can’t do it. I tried. Seriously. I did. I even picked it up, like, three times to force myself to slog though. But it’s a no go for me.
I don’t usually dig bdsm books, as there are elements I don’t enjoy- pain and humiliation are not for me. However, a bdsm-light read isn’t off the table. Who doesn’t love a good spanking, amiright?
I just cannot, ever, get down with bdsm themes on a ‘captive’... you’ve lost me when a chick is straight up kidnapped, and then forced into sexual obedience. It tip toes too close to rape for me to get past, and I literally don’t give a shit how hot the H is or how brain mushy dead the h goes due to said hotness.
There should be SOME redeemable qualities to a dude you are letting hurt you for sex. IMO.
So, there. I’m out.

You cant see it, but I have the biggest smile on my face.
I have voluntarily read and reviews an ARC version of Claiming His Princess by Parker Grey.
This book was perfect. Every part of it.
I might have loved it before I even started reading it because 1) Beauty and the Beast is my FAVORITE movie of all time. 2) Parker Grey wrote this book.
Julian and Belle were written so wonderfully. Their story, their chemistry took my breath away.
I cant tell you enough how much I recommend this book.
Happy reading!

“Smoking-hot & kinky version of a real-life beastly prince and his beauty”
I received an Advance Reader Copy for CLAIMING HIS PRINCESS: A Beauty and The Beast Romance (Filthy Fairy Tales, Book #4) written by Parker Grey and voluntarily reviewed this book. When Isabelle shows up lying prostrate on his palace property to protest the arrest of her father, who was arrested and accused of treason and collusion again the crown. For those serious offenses, Belle offers herself in his place, which Julian gladly uses for his own purposes, drawn to her as he was and dazzled by her beauty. Slowly, however, he earns Belle’s trust and love by running a very intense "campaign" which breaks down all her defenses, because she was just as drawn to him after getting to know the man behind the beastly facade. All is magical between them until an event calls her back into her real life, and Julian has to make one of the hardest choices in his life.

Beauty and the beast meets Fifty shades
Beauty and the beast remained as a BDSM romance. The beast, Prince Julian, wrongfully imprisons Belle, a sweet bookshop owner, on tempted up charges of treason, when he stages a protest to get her father out of jail. I have huge issues with the book. There are no discussions of limits and no safe words. At one point, Belle begs him to stop and he doesn't. I had trouble finishing the book.

Crown Prince Julian has Ellie's father, he's been arrested and held suspected of treason.
Belle goes to the castle to demand her father's release, explaining he is harmless and forgetfull. Julian releases her father but takes Belle instead, claiming she is a spy. Julian wants Belle and tries his best to get her but is hard handed in his treatment of her. Although Julian is mostly hard on Ellie, she is torn between dislike and yearning for the scarred, damaged prince. The two of them go through teasing and torture by Julian while Ellie feels torn with her tender feelings and the sexual tension Julian treats her with. The sex is kinky and hot and Ellie learns a lot about her feelings as she feels
more and more desire with Julian. Although the treason was the first reason they met, it really doesn't play much of a role in the story, it was mainly about Julian and Ellie meeting and developing feelings for each other and Ellie learning about her hidden kinks.
This was a quick but enjoyable read, I recommend it for and evening's read for anyone that appreciates a sexy, hot read with a HEA.

Julian is the Prince of his small country and Belle is the owner of a bookstore. When her dad gets arrested by the Prince on conspiracy, Belle sets out to free her dad and in return Julian keeps her as his prisoner. But it’s not a regular prison, it’s a beautiful room with a bathroom and the only thing she can’t do is leave it. When she tries to escape, Julian brings her to his area of the Palace and once they are in close quarters they can’t deny the intense attraction they have for one another. But Belle’s dad needs her...will he let her leave ?
A great steamy read with many BDSM scenes that will melt your kindle. I enjoyed these two even though I would have liked have seen Belle more defiant and Julian more emotional with a tender love scene between them at least one. Otherwise a great read and I loved what happened after the crisis with her dad passed and she saw Julian again.

This is the last book in the filthy fairy tales series and it goes with a bang! I mean I love beauty and the beast and I was worried she wouldn't give justice to the story because the original is a bit dark, but boiii was I wrong. Once again Parker grey did the most amazing job portraying this story and it made it sexier than ever.
I didn't expect to get so spicy and dirty but it's a good thing it is a new adult novel. If you are into BDSM or ready to explore that genre this is the book for you! (mainly because it doesn't make it weird and off-putting)
If you haven't read the series then it's time for you guys to start because the series get better as they progress. For the last one, it made want more...
So go head off and get the book it's worth reading if you into this genre.

Belle is leading a quiet life as a bookseller with an eccentric father. When her father is detained for treason, she goes to the castle to save him. Julian is living his life in exile due to an accident l waving him scarred. He is intrigued by Belle and let’s her take over her father’s sentence. He knows he’s wrong fior keeping an innocent girl but he can’t resist the opportunity.
Spicy romance with strong BDSM themes. While I liked Belle’s feistiness, Julian was over the top jerk. My main problem was the little to no aftercare after the more intense BDSM scenes. Even a jerk would at least stay until she came down a bit. It was interesting to blend in the Dominant aspect with his scar to create the Beast.

Ah, yeah. This book makes adulthood a little more inviting! 😏
Now that was a " Beastly " Tale!
Parker Grey's Filthy Fairy Tales have yet to disappoint; this one went beyond my expectations- taking me on a domineering journey that teetered right on the edge of the dark in this author's loose rendition of " Beauty and The Beast ." I. Could. Not. Get. Enough.
Smart, sexy, with a saucy side of sass, this beautifully naughty for fun read was adult perfection!
The well-written detailing, with sharply defined characters plenty of dark twists and yummy turns.
This is one book I will not soon forget!
Five hot stars from me!

Woo, Beauty and the Beast meets modern times and Parker Grey knocks it outta the park! I really loved this story and the dark, beautifully delicious places it went. Its dark. Its a little painful. And it is a whole lot of sexy!! Their is some light BDSM so keep that in mind. Personally I think it just adds credence to the Beast part of the story. Loved it!!

Awesome very well written book. He is scared and arrests her father for treason. She storms in there to demand his release. Well he decides to keep her instead of her father. He is a dominant and wants her. Even though she is feisty and strong willed she also has a submissive side. This is hot and very steamy, exciting, emotional, suspenseful and so much more. It grabs you and keeps your attention through out. I highly recommend it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

very steamy
Well this book was definitely very steamy but I would also have to say it was my least favorite of the series. That really makes me sad too because Beauty and the Beast is my favorite. I just had a hard time with him. The thing I liked about the other books was that no matter how much of a jerk the princes were in the beginning, the minute they met their women they were all in with them. I felt like Julian took a long time to get to that place. I realize he was supposed to be a beast but he was also a little mean to me. But overall I still really liked the book.

This is a spicy, re-imagining of Beauty and The Beast. Good storyline that's well paced. Features BDSM scenes. Thought the hero was a bit too much of a jerk . Also would have loved to see a more genuine approach to him providing aftercare to Belle after their scenes together. Other than that I thought this was an enjoyable and entertaining read. I'm posting a completely honest, voluntary review after reading this book.
March 8, 2018
Wow! This book was HOT! Be warned...there is a lot of "action" in this one ;) The writing flowed well, and I liked the characters. There wasn't a whole lot to the story line, besides Julian and Belle's relationship. I was okay with that. The chemistry between Belle and Julian was great. I'm not sure if there will be anymore stories in this series, but I hope so!

I love Parker’s take on fairytales! Her take on Beauty and the Beast was fantastic! I was surprised my Kindle didn’t burn up!
Julian and Belle’s story was well written and held my attention from start to finish!
I can’t wait for the next Parker Grey Book!

I really enjoyed this book, and this entire series. I listened to the first 3 books on Audio and they were 🔥🔥! This last book wasn't available on Audio so I read the physical book. I really enjoyed the story, and it's likeness to a raunchy Beasty and The Beast, but I found it hard to concentrate on the story with the vast amount of grammatical errors. I also felt the ending was a bit rushed, but all in all, great book.

A fantastic addition to the series I just loved this naughty version of beauty and the beast I am a sucker for a good dirty fairytale and this one did not disappoint, it was really well written and I just loved Julian and Belle they were wonderful characters and were just so great together I would recommend it to all

A modern day Beauty and the Beast that's hot and steamy. When Belle's father is being held at the castle for suspicion of treason, Belle goes to free her father. Prince Julian releases him but keeps her. Julian and Belle have great chemistry and go through bumps in the road to get their HEA.

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book.
This started out good, but quickly devolved into BDSM, but didn't get into a whole lot of what was included in his "room". Julian did not treat Belle very well, to the point where it was abusive. There was also a lack of interaction between Belle and Julian.

With some actual build up this would have been a good book. The lack of any interaction before the type of sex in this book left me rather cold as it felt a little too much like actual force not a giving up of control.

This was my least favourite in terms of story but it was the filthiest so far. I did enjoy the book and the spice but it felt a little forced and the attractiveness between the characters felt strange.
