Her Mountain Man Beast

by Elena Dawne

Ash Griffin can’t speak.

But he is incredibly fluent in body language.

The scarred and surly, yet adorable mountain man can’t tell me exactly what he’s thinking when he smolders at me, but I’m pretty sure it goes something like this…

Augustine Delaney is effing delicious.

She’s the only person in town worth knowing, and I want her.

Desperately.

I’d love nothing more than to kick her ex-husband in the dick and find a permanent minder for her father — because dragging her back to my secluded cabin and making her moan is a fundamental need I can’t restrain for much longer.

… At least I hope that’s what he’s thinking …

♥ This sweet and spicy fairytale retelling is about a vivacious, curvy girl and the smitten beast of a man who knows just how to take care of her while getting some much-needed TLC himself. It contains multiple juicy AF sex scenes, and has been written to delight and satisfy. Enjoy yourself! ♥

4 Sweet As Fuck Everything Stars ⭐

Well fuck! It's no secret I read loads of naughty books but it's not often one makes me salivate. This book was a hoot. A feisty plump heroine with the mouth of a trucker, and a scarred, mute recluse who made grunting mighty sexy. I swear I was either snorting out loud in amusement or rubbing my thighs together; it was that awesome!

We live in Fuck-stick, Nowhere, but she likes to wear vintage dresses, and I like to see ‘em. Makes her look like a pinup girl from the fifties, and I could jerk my cock to that shit all day.

Ash Griffin just wants to be left alone, with Gussie being the exception to the rule. These two have been dancing around each other for three years. Although they're both hot for each other, Ash is hung up with how he looks. Whereas Gussie is just begging for an opening.

The guy reads, he kicks asses, and he washes dishes. He knows where the clit lives, and he knows what it wants.
I think I’m in love.

I can't even explain how sweet and thoughtful Ash is. He may bark at everyone but Gussie is everything. The moment she manipulates him to do her bidding, it's on. This author seriously exceeded in turning up the heat. It was mouth watering and bittersweet.

I want him, and I’d better let him know he can take me. The faster the better. I’ve only got a few good years left in me, so there’s no time to drag my feet. Ash Griffin needs to know that if he wants to, he can keep me barefoot and pregnant until my ovaries shrivel.

Everyone needs love and compassion. Kindness goes a long way and these two were completely endearing with a gorgeous little HEA. The dialogue was hysterical and the sex scenes...just wow! I intend to read everything this author has published. 🔥🔥

There was A LOT OF SEX in this tiny but powerful erotic novella. I loved these characters, and the story that went along with it was so sweet. He reads romance novels, he is a woodworker, he takes care of her every need, he’s crazy good at all things steamy, and he grunts and growls instead of speaks?

This story was completely and utterly dirty, but also a blast to read. I don’t know that I’ve ever read a H who takes better care of his h. I mean, a snow dildo for the swelling? Come on, that’s book boyfriend material right there.

That cake scene. I don’t even want to know what inspire the author to write that. LOL.

nothing says love like eating the ‘cum-frosted’ cake he made you

[Ainhoa]

I mean… that was surprisingly romantic and sweet in between all the mountain beasty smut.

You’ll be glad to know that I’m adding to my list of can of pringles and pussy juiced bacon, the new to me, cum covered cake. All very nutritious apparently 🫣💀

[Lana Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

​This was a pure smut story.

You definitely shouldn't take it too seriously because the way they kept having sex in the snow outside?.. the ridiculous anal scene?.. the everything in-between? LOL, there wasn't much that was sane here - but it was entertaining and kinda fun so yeah, I rolled with it.

Thank you, Rain, for bringing this to my attention!

Scarred heroes are the best heroes. I don't make the rules, I just live by them.

[Sammie Reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

I just wanted a fluffy little pallet cleanser, damn it. And I love Beauty and the Beast retellings! But it was cheesy as fuck and the FMC annoys the shit out of me. And I get that Ash can’t speak, but he writes so eloquently, so to read that he’s grunting and pantomiming kinda seemed primitive considering his intelligence. And the fact that she called him Ash Griffin, his whole name, every considerable time she addressed him was insanely irritating. Rant over. Not my cup of tea.

[AshhLeeLee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well now look who’s speechless!!

Wow! Ash and Gussie 😍 this book is SO good!!! From Ash who thinks he’s a monster, grunts like a best and has the naughtiest tongue EVER! To Gussie who is a strong woman, that literally is ALL of us readers who die for these books!

The spice was off the charts!! 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 and the writing made me seriously fall in love! I’m so so so so sad it’s over…..but now I’m on to the 3rd book and then going to your other pen name too bc now I’m addicted 😂

Rating: 5/10
Hot: 4/5
Length: 1 h 36 m
Tropes: mountain romance, small town, scarred man, insta love, romcom, erotic
TW/CW: reproduction, foreign bodies in the vagina, sex during menstruation

Я задоволена, бо знала, що очікувати від цієї історії.
Ця книга підходить, тільки у вас особливий настрій, бо вона відноситься до категорій "веселий треш" та "сюжет заради сексу, усе заради сексу".
Я сміялась усю історію, бо серйозно - снігове ділдо. Як взагалі автор це придумала?

Як еротичній новелі, то це 10/10, але якщо оцінювати то серйозно, це не більше 5

[Tiff · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was so much fun! I love me a scarred hero, and Ash Griffin is everything I love about them. I’m so happy he found his forever in Augustine Delaney. And Augustine! She is a delight. I loved her bluntness, her honesty, her sentence enhancers! Lol. I’m so looking forward to reading more from this author!!

[пустунка · Rating 3 out of 5]

у цій книжці мені не вистачило одного – серйозності. задумка цікава і є дуже багато моментів, коли про минуле головних героїв хотілося дізнатися більше. хотілося більше глибоких розмов між ними. чого не було, а я чекала. АЛЕ

якщо розглядати це зі сторони жанру «еротика», то це все годиться. хоча було безліч кринжових сцен, на яких я закривала очі, бо читати це було неможливо.

занадто швидко у них все, і єдине що поєднує – хіть, але тим не менш вони ще думають щось за дітей і спільне майбутнє. щастя їм. як на один раз почитати щось божевільне, то непогано. історія невеличка, не затягнута, що не зробить читання геть взагалі неможливим. дозована порція трешу))

3/5 ⭐️

What the actual hell

[Jody Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Listen, this genre of book generally has one job, and this book does it well. Ash is a hideously scarred (in a grizzly bear attack??!!) loner, Gussie is a sweet beautiful librarian. He's been low-key stalking her, but of course he dares not approach because of being a Beast; jokes on him, she's super into him. This BatB retelling hews really closely to the animated version, there's the head-in-the-clouds dad, there's a buffoonish ex husband who may as well be named Gaston, when they get to his castle, er, cabin on the hill there's a forbidden room, the villagers are practically ready to pick up their pitchforks they are so thrown by his looks, etc. Sidebar directed to the townsfolk: in a contemporary is it really cool to be othering someone becuase of a deformity? I mean, he can't talk and just gowls and looks mad, but still.

Anyhoo, these two act on their mutual attractions A LOT (and Dawne does a great job with consent throughout). He keeps thinking maybe she's just [marital congress]-drunk and is going to get disgusted by him, its nice that its not just "she sees past my scars, hea sorted." There's a kind of weird overreaction to a bodily thing on her part that is obviously there so she can feel shame about someting too and they can both accept each other instead of it being all one-sided. IDK, it was just super charming in addition to being your typical mountain man book. They had a solid friendship first, they both keep her priority of caring for her father top of mind and work it into their relationship (family dinners are, er, eventful, it's definitely useful that the dad is super unobservant).

[Lori R. · Rating 4 out of 5]

**3.5 stars**

Well. This was quite…interesting.
And sometimes sweet.
And at times, kinda gross. LOL

Ash Griffin is so caring. And loving. And growly.
And very naughty. If he could speak, I can only imagine some of the things he’d say. He has no problem writing things down though.

Was this story sometimes over the top?
Yes.
But still entertaining and full of omg and wtf moments? Definitely.
And lots of…uh…gushing scenes? *side eye*
Also yes.

A nice balance of humor, heart and erotic, filthy smut. If you don’t take this book too seriously, it can be enjoyable.

[Brigid Finn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent. Incredibly filthy. I love "mountain man" romance when it is good, but it can be hard to find ones that don't follow the exact same formula. This has all the tropes I want from the subgenre (scarred recluse, extreme filth, breeding) without being formulaic. An absolute delight.

[Brandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very hot and also a great read. But seriously, it’s a lot of (good) sex, fair warning!

[❀ Jess ( Semi hiatus )]

There's A LOT of sex but also A LOT of sweetness and I kept thinking about how much more I would've enjoyed this story with more romance and a slower burn rather than it being mainly lust filled. So I stopped reading 🤷‍♀️

[DD11 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of sex. Burr in the freezing cold too. Chubby was used a tad much. I’m far from small and wouldn’t be thrilled to be described as such. Oh well. I mean our H doesn’t mind she isn’t petite. Everyone is into writing their take on Beauty and the Beast. Very popular right now.

Sweet story. I will check out some more by this author

“Her Mountain Man Beast” by Elena Dawne

2⭐️/5⭐️
4🌶/5🌶

-Ya know, this was a decent erotic novella until the frosting scene. I’m sorry, but that just took it too far. At that point I was mostly skimming, all of the smut got super repetitive.

[GigiReads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Surprisingly sweet and cozy given the number of sex scenes. Ash can't speak and is scarred from head to toe, he has the hots for the town's librarian but is sure he's too hideous to make a move. Gussie is hot for the mountain beast and when she lets him know in no uncertain terms, he wastes no time before going feral beast on her

"The guy reads, he kicks asses, and he washes dishes. He knows where the clit lives, and he knows what it wants."

Thus author has some writing quirks that get old after a bit but these books are so short that I don't mind. If you like bonkers smut fast read along with a sweet romance this is the book for you.

Giving this 3 stars because it’s probably a great book for some, but it just wasn’t it for me.

[Catheryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Um..wow.

The story and the characters were so sweet. I love Ash! But holy cow....this book made me blush. The spice is definitely not your typical spice. I may not look at a slice of cake the same way again.

Overall...not bad.

[Sabrina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ash Griffin! That is all. That man seriously won my freaking heart over. Not only was he a sweetheart of a man but he also was a freak in the sheets. Well, not really sheets considering they messed around everywhere other than the bed most of the time. The messing around in front of her dad was a little bit much but hey you do you! The FMC was able to have full blown conversations with Ash even though he couldn’t speak, I absolutely loved that. Her ex husband was a piece of work and it added that possessive/jealous aspect to the story that I love! I really enjoyed this novella❤️

[SereneReadingBox · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn't finish the book. Just over 75% and I'm done.
First, I'm really not feeling well.
Second, the scene of the hero jerking his cum all over the cake and the heroine eating it I just can't take it anymore.

I gave it two stars because I really do not hate it but some of the scenes are just not for me.

[Rosemary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Light reading. I love this kind of book. Very sexy. The humor was really fantastic. I laughed out loud several times. Describing someone as a sex tractor is great. This book was super fun and throughly entertaining. I love this kind of hero as well.

[sammiimarriiee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Idk how many times gushing should be used in a story but I think this one has too many. Lol it was like a constant stream of browsing pornhub and seeing the 15 seconds of different sex positions and shit but reading it. I loved it. It was outrageous. It had every kink you could think of lol

[Camille · Rating 3 out of 5]

A reviewer that I happened upon said this was really sweet. And I guess depending on what you read, it could be considered sweet? It wasn’t really what I would consider sweet but I did like the characters. There was no angst which I also liked. It was DIRTY.
It was fine. I don’t know that I care to seek out any other books by this author necessarily.

[Dawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ash!

This one had me from the very beginning. Ash is such a great leading man. He doesn’t talk but says so much ! Spice is off the charts!
