Beauty and The Beast is my favorite Disney cartoon. Grumpy heroes are always so cute and Beast won my heart when he gave a library as a gift to Belle. So, whenever I stumble upon the retelling of this tale I am excited because I hope it will have that same spark, that same magic that will make me hum:
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme

On the surface Beautys Beast is a perfect retelling of the famous fairytale. Eric is cursed by a witch to slowly transform into the beast.
To fulfill a promise to his dead father and not die without an heir, he gets married to a young girl Kristine who is sentenced for murder. Kristine is so grateful to Eric for saving her from the death sentence and she tries to be a good wife to him. Slowly they fall in love

What can go wrong? A lot of things:

1.) Since Eric is bent on having an heir pronto, he immediately starts to have sex every night with Kristine. She dutifully and silently lies. At the beginning a lot of times its bordering with rape for me.

2.) Descriptions of sex had a lot of archaic descriptions that belong to vintage historical romance novels.
"Desire rose within him, a desire to bury himself within her."
"Her womanly scent rose up to tantalize him, stirring his blood, his desire."
A lot of times I was not sure if Ashley Adams wrote about sex or farming.
"He would go to her tonight and plant his seed within her. If there was any mercy in the world, his seed would take root and he could leave here, leave her."

These two facts made my reading of Beautys Beast a boring and irritating task. I kept on reading hoping for some glorious moment that will make all my suffering worthwhile. For a glimpse of true Beauty and The Beast magic to appear. But it never happened.

There were a lot of things that could have won me over:
1. Erics fear about losing his humanity as the transformation to beast happens. Fear that he will lose his memories
2. A lot of my favorite romantic scenes from Beauty and The Beast cartoon were recreated: he saving her from the wolves, she nursing his wounds, 
3. Paranormal elements in story, with witches and wizards and magic. Things go crazy & exciting as the conclusion is near

But no. All Beautys Beast succeeded is to make me gnash my teeth and yell in my mind.
- At Kristine for being submissive, for not standing up for herself from the start.
- At Eric for sleeping with her and enjoying it, although he was conscious she didn't want it.
- At Amanda Ashley for the outdated writing style.

At the end all I can say is  well at least it is over. But I don't think I will have enough courage to brave another book by Amanda Ashley again.

Recommended only for fans of bodice ripper historical romance novels who don't mind that there are witches and other magic in the story. This Beauty and The Beast retelling is not for all fairy tale lovers. Approach with caution.

I adore fairy tale retellings.  It helps us keep our love for the originals alive. With the renewed fascination of Beauty and the Beast, I believe that older fans would love this rendition of the original tale.  Vivianne's portrayal of beauty, Princess Anastasia, and Beast, Prince Allister is impressive.  She captured the change of emotions and created characters who are both likable and endearing.

In this rendition, a dragon is terrorizing Princess Anastasia's father's kingdom.  With reason of course.  The Queen is ill and needs a special rose that only blooms in the dragon's realm to save her.  The King tirelessly sends scouts to retrieve this mythical rose but is thwarted by the dragon.  Soooooooo...  he does what he think is best and sends dragon slayers to bring down the beast and capture this elusive rose.

Faithful to the original story, we have magic, a mystical home that is alive and a surly beast that needs to find true love.  In this, I was entranced.  I did enjoy Savage's retelling and highly recommend it to the adult lovers of The Beauty and the Beast!!

5 Stars and a tip of my Nerd Girl hat.

A hot story that's bound to make you uncomfortable with how sexy you find it. This is Beauty and the BEAST and the sex scenes definitely don't let you forget it. If you like erotica and aren't too squeamish (or even if you're just a little squeamish) then give this a read and brace yourself for what's ahead!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Seriously. I can't say enough good about it. It was in my library for a while and with the new Beauty & the Beast being released this month (March 2017), I thought I would get into the mood by reading this. It far surpassed my expectations. Savannah and Asher's story was just about the sweetest thing I've ever read. Their friendship and eventual falling in love was beautifully written. The sex scenes were tasteful and sweet too. I love 2 broken people finding their way back to wholeness through loving each other. I am really interested in reading the author's other fairytale books, but I'm a little hesitant. Asher is so awesome, it seems like any other heroes are gonna pale in comparison. I might just go back to page 1 and start all over again...it's THAT good!

I absolouetly love this book. I couldn't put it down once I got started. I definetly prefer this version of beauty and the beast as their is more depth and character delvelopment. As soon as I finished this book I bought the second one right after. I can't wait to receive it.

This is a insta-love fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast style. Maxwell Black a scarred reclusive librarian falls for a beauty named Elle, who is on the run. Elle is trying to escape her father and his organized crime ties. As soon as their relationship starts to blossom some thugs find Elle and threaten her with her father's well being. Unfortunately for them no one threatens Maxwell Black or those who he loves and Elle falls on that list. This is a great read if you like an mega alpha who has a dirty mouth, smoking hot sex scenes, and happy endings.

This is the first book in the series but doesnt end in a cliffy. Each book will be a standalone based on a classic fairytale. And let me tell you, I loved the Beauty and the beast elements of this book.
The blurb gives you a good idea of what the storyline is, so I won't go into it. But what I will say is that I didn't expect to get so engrossed in this book. It was well written and at no point did I feel like there was and dragging going on. The dialogue and the back and forth between the two main characters was great and the chemistry was sizzling.
I loved Jax and Bianca as a couple. I loved Jaxs flawed character, so tough on the outside, so uncivilized, but hiding a sweet and romantic soul. I adored Biancas ferocity and passion. She didn't quiver before the brooding billionaire and stood up for herself. It was great to watch their love blossom.
I highly recommend this book, it is sweet and will leave you smiling at the end.

Oh Elle and Maxwell...My Modern day Beauty and the Beast. I can truly say that I completely enjoyed this story/ book.

The story as I said is about Elle and Maxwell. Elle a girl running from a past and looking for a job applies for a job at Maxwell's Library. From the beginning they have the famous insta love. Which makes the story even more complicated. Both characters carry their own dark baggage. One carrying physical and the other emotional. And lets not forget all the damn secrets, Eeek!!..Got to Love it!! Their connection is just amazing to read and I totally enjoyed reading it!...The characters are developed and written in soo well. A small "but" in all this...I would have liked to see the chemistry between the two characters have a more smooth sailing...Sometimes it felt completely out of sync...Nothing that cannot be over looked, maybe not even noticeable for some readers...But being that I am such a die hard Fan of fairy tails and Insta Love, well I can help myself...You say Fairy Tales, I go in with super high expectations.
Definitely this book has everything that will keep you interested. Overall for being a debut novel for this author the book turned-out amazing!!..And I definitely do recommend it to all my reading Junkies and Fairy Tale lovers at heart!!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.

In this book we meet Rose and Beast. Rose has been helping her father to raise her sisters ever since they lost her mother. One day her father comes home from his work and tells her he is about to go to jail. Rose agrees to go with Beast for 1 month to keep her father from jail. Can she be with Beast and not loose her heart or will she gain her fathers freedom but loose hers?

Beast is a man who re-fusses to give up his secrets without a fight. When he agrees to Rose's terms he knows he must guard himself from the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Beast is just that a beast of a man but he does have his tender moments. He knows he needs his true mate to come and save him but will he drive her away before he can show her his true heart?

This is a great retelling of the beauty and the beast story. This story has many twist and turns before you reach the very end. It will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Hunted is a sexy retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a Cerys du Lys twist. This book is full of surprises. I mean the plot, but the sex is out of this world, and very inventive. Fast paced, funny, and steamy, this book is a real treat. Don't let me oversell the sex, though. The writing here is amazing, full of complexity and richly drawn characters in a lush fantasy world.

This full length novel is a deeply satisfying read. You won't be disappointed.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale and I am usually happy with the many remakes of it I come across. This trilogy made me very happy, especially this last book because it answers a question: If Beauty fell in love with a Beast, would she be able to either continue to love or transfer that love to his human counterpart?
This story is kind of dark, and slightly adult given that the issues the main characters have to deal with involve or are the result of sexual acts. But it holds true to human behavior, however awful or violent, and I think that it is important.
Overall a wonderfully written and compelling story. I was entrance from the first page of the first book to the last page of the last book and I believe anyone who picks them up will be as well.

Title: Beauty And The Billionaire Bear
Series: The Shifter Princes
Note: This is a continuation books in the series, book 2, but is a stand alone.
Author: Sable Sylvan

This is my review of  Beauty And The Billionaire Bear, book 2 in The Shifter Princes  Series. I got this book in the series free in exchange for an honest review. This is the continuation of a great world and it can be read as a standalone with no cliffhanger ending, it is the whole story. Be warned though you will not want to stop with just this one book and you will want to know the whole story from start to beginning. This book mentions other characters from the other books and it may just been in passing but you may find yourself wanting to know more about the other couples. Despite the length it does move at a good pace and keeps you interested. In fact I moved through the book so fast I was sad when it was over. :(

As you can tell from the title this is the story of basically Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is a woman named Rose who agrees to spend a month at the castle of a bear shifter who only calls himself Beast. Her father took something he was not supposed to and this is the only way to save him. Convinced that she is to be used for unsavory things during this month she is shocked to find out that she is only required to join Beast once a week for dinner. She finds out fast that they have a lot in common and she falls for him, fast and hard. She is his fated mate and both Rose and Beast are excited about that. But when the secret of what is really wrong with Beast comes out will Rose stay with him or allow the darkness to claim him?

I like how the old fairy tail was changed in order to include shifters and more modern times. It is a nice way to see a new story within technically an older story. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a little short but I still loved it. You will laugh as well at some of the phrases used yo describe things like "twig and berries", etc. And yes, the giant library is included, can't have a Beauty and the Beast story without the huge library.
