Beauty's Beasts

by Amy Pennza

As a rare female werewolf, I’ve always known I wouldn’t get to choose my husband. But when I overhear my fiancé saying he can’t stomach the thought of sleeping with me, I know I can’t go through with the wedding. So I run to the Free Zone, where I stumble straight into the arms of Levi and Cade. They’re lone wolves—and two of the hottest males I’ve ever seen. At first, it appears they only have eyes for each other. Then they let me know there’s more than enough room in their bed. I don’t want to come between them. But as it turns out, that’s exactly what they want…in every meaning of the phrase.

Levi, Cade, and Cordelia were made for each other. I usually don't read books with MM scenes but I decided to give this one a shot because the blurb really intrigued me. I'm so glad I did. This was a short but hot and steamy read and I enjoyed every second.

I would recommend this book to others.

This is a short read, of about 60 pages maybe. It follows Cordelia, Cade, and Levi. Cordelia is a rare female werewolf who is betrothed to an alpha who is totally disgusted by her. She overhears the fowl conversation between her father and him the night before she is supposed to get married. She decides that life is not for her and flees to the Free Zone, where there are not any packs. There she meets Cade and Levi. Levi is an alpha heir for the Mississippi Pack and Cade is his enforcer lover. They are bisexual, which is why they were kicked out of the pack by Levi's father.

This book is definitely spicy!! It has so much spice from the very beginning. It has MM scenes and MMF scenes. After they have sex with Cordelia, an enforcer form the Mississippi pack begs Levi to come back because his father was killed and the next two in line after Levi. The enforcer indicated they were okay with his relationship with Cade. Cordelia and Cade convinced Levi to be the change werewolves needed and Cordelia agreed to mate Levi as required to be alpha. The three of them fall in love and care for each other. I wont give away all the juicy secrets :)

I really want more in this story, but I do not think there is another book. I am definitely going to read other works by this author. I got this book for free on booksprout and it is my first 5 star read this month (that I can rate, I did read one other book this month that was 5 star but I did not do a review on it...though I should go back and do it...). I would definitely assign this as 5 out of 5 peppers for spice! I liked the story as well. Even though it was short, I did not feel like it left anything out and was very clear from start to finish. Sometimes short stories can lose information along the way. I enjoyed the ending and definitely need and want more! The cover models are also sexy, so I can only imagine the sexiness of the characters. I am glad all three of them found what they were looking for in life :)

Cordelia is a rare female werewolf and tradition has it that she would become engaged (or sold) to an alpha soon after she is born. It is the night before her wedding and she overhears her father and her fiance talking. Her fiance says that he has no physical interest in her while her dad tells him one he has done his duty making her pregnant, he could satisfy his cravings with human women. Cordelia is so disgusted by this conversation that she decides to run off and and lose her v-card so she wouldn't be so valuable. Luckily her mother had given Cordelia money right before she died so she has the means to take a bus to the Free Zone. Once she arrives, she goes to a bar for a restroom break and to find someone to take care of her problem. To her shock, she finds two lone wolves at the bar. She is afraid until she realizes that the two are together together. They offer her a safe place to spend the night. The next day, she learns that they are bi and that is why she is so attracted to them.

Levi as the alpha's heir until he was driven away. Cade is the enforcer that acted as his bodyguard for his teenage years. They quickly became friends and later more than friends. When one of his brothers discovered them having intimate fun, he told Levi's father on them. Werewolf packs despise gay wolves. Levi was badly beaten and escaped to the Free Zone with Cade coming with him to protect him. The two are living together happily until they meet Cordelia. Their attraction for Cordelia make them wonder if their twosome should be a threesome.

Short novella which I usually do not read, but I love Amy Penna, so I decide to give it a shot and I was not disappointed. This is the story of Cordelia who is from a wolfpack where she is set to marry a man who does not even find her attractive. She is only there to produce heirs. When she hears her father saying all of this, she decides to go to the Free Zone and take care of her little virginity problem so she doesn’t have to marry the guy! She ends up at the bar where 2 very hot-look wolves (Cade & Levi) just happen to be having a little fun in the bathroom when she walks in. From there the fun begins.

At first Cordelia doesn’t think that Cade and Levi like her or want anything to do with her sexually when they tell her they are together. But oh boy, the chemistry kicks in and its on! Cade & Levi (future alpha) are from a pack that does not believe in homosexuality and both Levi & Cade decided to leave. They are basically hiding from their packs so they are not killed.

Quick story with lots of steamy action and told from all 3 pov’s. It’s always a great story when you find people who are willing to support you regardless. And these 3 people definitely have each other’s backs.

This was a super quick read for me. I think I read it in just a few hours. The story was good but a bit predictable. Overall was wrapped up nicely with a bow on top and a HEA. In the beginning I feel like the MM scenes were amazing!! They were done so well and I loved the relationship between Cade and Levi. I felt like the relationship between them and Cordelia was a bit awkward? And like supposed to be this love at first sight kind of vibes? I feel like guys were the main star of this book and Cordelia wasn't as fleshed out and she fell a bit flat to me. Even the scene with all three of them was good in the beginning and then towards the end I just liked the guys part in it lol. I wish that it could've been just a bit longer to kind of flesh her out a bit more and have their thruple relationship grow just a bit more instead of this insta love kind of story. Which don't get me wrong insta love stories aren't all that bad, but it felt like the guys relationship was way stronger and fleshed out to me and so when she gets introduced to the guys its like a love at first sight but the guys relationship still stood out as the stronger relationship.

Still enjoyed the story and the spice was great.

Something a little different but along the same lines Cordelia is one of only rare twelve shifters in the country, her father decides to arrange her marriage to an alpha heir she was chosen upon birth to play this role but overhearing him say she would be difficult to mate because he doesn’t love her or like her body shocked that her father would choose someone like this for her to marry so she takes her own choices into her hands packing her bags and runs to the Free Zone where she runs directly into two alphas little did she know this run would redirect her path. Cade and Levi sexy as all get out bisexual alphas who were pretty much kicked out of their pack some time ago for being bisexual so they are running as loan wolves and when they meet the little treat offering her safety but their girl is determined to make life on her own so they provide the safety, encouragement needed, the push needed to be what she wants, and along the way hey realize she is their missing piece. The attraction is instant, insanely intense and lets not even talk about the magnetic bull between them but with the constant threats from Levies family, Cordelia trying to make it on her own with a father determined to marry her off, will they get their time together, and where are they headed the three of them?.

Their Destined Adventure to Forever -
Cordelia was only looking to take a break whilst on the run, but fate had other plan# in store first her, as she met Cade and Levi who offered to keep her safe. Cade and Levi felt an inexplicable connection with Cordelia from the moment they laid eyes on her, but they tried putting their attraction for her aside, as they knew she was weary of them. However, everything changed after Cordelia found herself intensely aroused when she was around them, following her eavesdropping session.

Even though Cordelia was inexperienced when it came to intimate encounters, she seized her opportunity to spend time with Cade and Levi in a mind blowing steamy session. Unfortunately, their tranquility disrupted when Levi received news that not only shook him to the core, but also meant changes in the lives. As luck would have it, Levi, Cordelia and Cade were able to do everything possible to get the happily ever after they deserved.

I was hooked on the story from the first page and didn’t take a break until the end. The characters were engaging and the description of their sexual encounters was so HOT, I am shocked my IPad didn’t catch fire. Grab a copy of this book now and you won’t regret it.

I am a big fan of this author's work and read as many as I can get my hands on. This was a shorter story, but I loved it and couldn't put it down. It was exciting and engaging from the start. Great world building. Wonderful characters. Female werewolves are rare- one to every ten males- but on the eve of her wedding ceremony, Cordelia runs away from her pack, disinterested fiancé, and father, who only value her as a breeder. Escaping to the free zone, if she could just lose her virginity, she wouldn't be valued as much and might even get out of marrying a fiancé who doesn't even want her. She meets Cade and Levi in a bar. Levi was heir to his pack but disowned by his alpha father when his family found out he was gay. Cade was his enforcer and left to the free zone with him. They are a couple, but still on the defensive as his family is trying to kill him. They offer to bring her to their home where she'll be safe. Fantastic chemistry. I loved this story. Though short, it felt complete and I would love a sequel. 5 stars.

Novellas or MM intimate scenes usually don't appeal much to me, but I love Amy's writing, so I couldn't pass on this one. I was not disappointed! The plot is very basic, which is good because it leaves room to flesh out the characters and of course plenty of hot bedroom action. If you are looking for a quick steamy fix and don't want to be bothered with getting into a more intricate story, this is the book for you!.

Cordelia is one of only 12 female wolf shifters left in the country and her father has arranged for her to marry Ryan, but on overhearing a conversation between her father and Ryan she runs to the Free Zone where she meets Cade and Levi who are bisexual. Cordelia is determined to make her life her own and stays with them where she discovers that they are very interested in her. A great short story which is well written and enjoyable. If you like steamy MM and MFM stories then you will love this one.

Cordelia is determined to escape her father's plans of marring her off. As no one would expect her to run, Cordelia took off to the Free Zone. Levi and Cade were cast aside from their pack, together they watch each other's backs in the Free Zone.

Levi and Cade know the moment Cordelia walk into the bar, with the need to protect her they take her back to their home. Their story is hot, steamy and filled with love and passion that you will not want to put it down.

Blisteringly steamy.

Ahh, the steamy goodness. I do love a great MMF story, and this was a cracker. For a short read it really packed a punch. Cade and Levi were gorgeous together, and Cordelia was one lucky lucky werewolf to cross their path. Great back story, lovely HEA and blistering chemistry. Loved it.

One of 14 only female werewolves, Cordelia as not happy with the body shaming her fiancé and Dad were doing behind her back. Meeting an heir alpha and enforcer has her wolf waking up. Real social issues no matter if paranormal or not. Good storyline. A lot of steam between two or three of them. No cliffhanger. Didn’t expect the ending.

Cordelia was on the run from her fiancé and father. She arrived at a bar where she meets Levi and Cade who she thought only had eyes for each other but she was wrong after hearing them in the hallway talking about how they wanted to add her to there steaminess. She finds out that she was right when they both show her how loved she can be at the same time. Everything changes for all three of them in a good way.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys MMF and happy ever afters.

[Pepper · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really sweet quick shifter romance read. If you read the first two chapters and like it, you'll love the rest of the story. Told from multi-POV it is a great story that is quick to read and perfect for if you need something sweet for a book hangover. Zero angst. I enjoyed it so much I wished it was a longer story.

Love is Love, Werewolf-style

This novella is the perfect package of steamy MM loving and smoking MMF forever love, with a well-told story to boot. Cordelia, Cade and Levi are absolutely sizzling together, but my favourite part was how they supported each other to build a better society. Well-paced and well written, this book was a perfect little steamy read.

This was a totally different approach to a shifter story, told in multiple POV. The characters are realistic, the plot line is great and certainly drives the characters together. Can't wait to see what this creative author comes up with next!

This was a fun fast read with a ton of steamy action. I love that it's told in all three POVs. With all three on the run from their packs, it was great how they supported each other. With their chemistry shooting sparks out of my reader, it's should be no surprise that their romance was hot ;P Good fun!

Ménage romance that will bring new life to the wolf packs, but also open up doors for many who were ostracized. A steamy romance with the new meaning of open and proud of who you choose to be. Great ending as it matters more of happiness and family.
