Beauty's Beast: a Dark Billionaire Contemporary Romance (Beauty and the Rose Book 1)

This is the first part in a gripping reimagination of the classic Beauty and the Beast.Beauty (Daphne) has spent her life trying to please her father and cure her mothers illness. When she is drugged at a ball the Beast (Logan) saves her and awakens her passion and desire.The Beast has ulterior motives. Revenge. And nothing Daphne can do convinces him of her loyalty.A great story full of engaging characters and great plot detail.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it.

I wasn't sure if I liked it at first. The naughty scenes are 🌶 spicy, but how they got to them, was interesting, but the story got me and drew me in, and I can't wait to see what happens next....

So spicy and the plot..omg! I could not put it down. I finished it in one day because I was so invested. One of my favourite beauty and the beast retelling. So worth buying

I loved the story and after I read it I figured out that it was a book with several parts. I need more was all I could think after it ended, i swore over the mc and her lack of ability to stand up for what she wants. Felt sorry for Logan. The end is frustrating to say the least but it's a story I will probably re-read several times that's how good I think it is. Now I am just waiting for the second book hopeing sincerely that the mc will grow a back bone and flip the world off and be with he long lost love Logan.

Ended on a cliffhanger which was a pain

this story grabs you from the start. Daphne seems lost to the world as her research from a cure has taken up every moment of her life. the beast steals her away and offers to show her the error of her ways, which have been influenced by the man in her life. when secrets and past truths come to life, Daphne is forced to take action, but at the final hurdle she falls and the beast captures her again. brilliant read, on to book 2.

I loved the story line of this romance with the unusual characters. The beast was intriguing and volatile. The beauty grew stronger as the story unfolded. Will definitely read the other books in the series..

A really really good read could not put the book down

This is a great book. It’s kept me reading and reading and now I have to get to part 2 quick. It’s a little crazy but it’s a great story. Thank you

BEAUTY’S BEAST is sensuously dark, erotic and breathtaking. It is also so full of action and suspense readers won’t be able to put it down! I know all of this because I just finished reading BEAUTY’S BEAST for the SECOND time! When two of your favorite Indie authors pair to write there nothing more exciting or anticipatory for a reader. With bated breath and pins and needles, I waited for BEAUTY’S BEAST to be released! Now, after reading BEAUTY’S BEAST, I have to say the experience of reading this novel has been totally worth the wait. The reading of BEAUTY’S BEAST exceeded my expectations and now leaves me struggling to find the words worthy of expressing the sheer emotion, elation and triumphant completion I am feeling after reading this most remarkable novel. The main characters of Daphne and Logan are so remarkably well-written, they seem as real as the members of my family passing through the room shaking their heads at how enthralled I am with what I am reading. I am reading BEAUTY’S BEAST by Stasia Black and Lee Savino, and no, I will not be sharing my copy of the book any time soon. It will be placed in the FAVORITES collection of my Kindle to be read and re-read to my heart’s content. BEAUTY’S BEAST is a wonderful standalone novel through CHAPTER 24! However, if the reader continues on to read CHAPTER 25 then this is a transition to more . . . and I am still unsure how I feel about that. Am I so petty and frustrated with the realization that this is an episodic series, or do I allow the elation that there is more to this story wash over me? While I contemplate that quandary let me say that I volunteered to read BEAUTY’S BEAST with much anticipation, and it is everything and more than I expected. Having read it more than once, I am now voluntarily rendering my honest 5+STAR recommendation wishing with every breath I could give BEAUTY’S BEAST more stars! It is for mature audiences as it describes scenes of an explicit sexual nature and includes aspects of sadomasochism. Beyond those scenes is a sensuous romance and a seductive mystery concerning the quest to treat the rare but fictional disease called “Battleman’s,” the control of a company called Belladonna, and the sale of many patents developed at/by Belladonna. The problem, Daphne doesn’t know whom to trust, so as usual, she is going to try to solve this problem by herself. Now, I wait with bated breath and those pins and needles to find out how Logan reacts to that! (Tee hee!) I STRONGLY suggest that you purchase Your copy of BEAUTY’S BEAST today! Happy pages! 😉

The beast is awesome. 🙌 Can’t wait to dig into the rest of this series. Could not put the book down.

This story quickly captured and easily kept my attention. The characters are likeable, and the plot is interesting. There are a few plot holes, but I am assuming that’s because this story is part of a (3) book series. I would like to have learned more about the two main characters lives and their previous connection. Why does Daphne submit to the beast so easily? Why is he a dominant? What caused his personality to change so extremely? Also, the setting is unclear . . . is it set in the future . . . on a different planet? Back story on the setting would help to ease confusion. Still, those few issues aside, this is a very enjoyable read.

Inspired by beauty and the beast, this story follows the scientist who is trying to cure to the disease that killed her mum. Naive and dedicated to her passion, Daphne discovers not all is well in her world. Deception, alliances with the rich and wealthy are revealed when she meets the beast. I'm not sure what to make of him and his mad Dom type ways, he almost seems unhinged. Although I have given this 4stars, I'm curious to see where this goes
