Sleeping Beast
When I was a little girl , I often heard stories about a man named Cain Del Roman, the one they called the "Beast." There were so many rumors circulating about him that it was hard to guess which among them were true. Some said that Cain was a very powerful mage who had been cursed to sleep for an eternity as a punishment for abusing his power.
But all of the gossip, there was only one theory that made me search for him in the middle of the night: Cain was a genie. He supposedly had the power to grant the wishes of the women who caught his interest. But, of course it came with a price. A woman had to sell her body and soul to him in order to make her wish come true.
And I was desperate. My family's lives were at stake, and Cain Del Roman, 'Beast' or no , was my family's only hope of surviving. That's why I promised myself I'd do everything in my power to awaken him, even if that meant becoming a sinner..

Steamy. Had a unique revenge plot crossed with sleeping beauty, with a paranormal twist. All set in the modern age.

Different take on beauty and the beast. Modern fun, and revenge that was tangible but love conquers all..highly recommend

Lots of grammar mistakes.
Found it a bit confusing when they suddenly did a flashback or had to explain some new random information to the story. Like Natasha getting ready to use martial arts she learned… but then just smacked Eunice instead… did we even need to know that info , because it didn’t fit the story at all.
It was an ok story. Felt like the story didn’t flow well.
Back story should have been created as first info, then let it all unfold .
Open with Cains past to how he ended up asleep , switch to what happened to Natasha , then to her going to find Cain.

The plot itself is really cool. Beauty and the Beast and a reverse Sleeping Beauty appear to be the base inspiration. Natasha's family is torn apart by her father's employer. Her mother dies, her father is thrown in prison for a crime he didn't commit, and her brother falls into a depression over all the drama. Natasha wants revenge and searches for the legendary Cain to get that revenge. The price for Cain's help is her body. Natasha signs a three year contract, but when time is up, will the two wish to separate? And was revenge the best course of action? When her enemies have fallen, her family is still broken - absolutely loved that message.
The majority of the story is told through exposition and dialog. I would have loved to see more action. I also found the time jumps and flashbacks a little confusing. It might have been better to tell the story chronologically.
