The Beast by Jenika Snow

4.0

When I first started reading this, I realized that this was another literal retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The FMC’s name is Belle, and she lives with her father, Maurice, who has a gambling addiction. Gaston is the evil man who wants Belle and keeps taking advantage of Maurice’s addiction. So the Beast steps in to pay Maurice’s debts in exchange for Belle. Nothing new here.

But then… then the Beast unleashed himself. And any lingering thoughts I had about the retelling suddenly didn’t matter. The Beast was a beast, indeed. Speechless.

Definitely read this for the smut, not the plot. Chef’s kiss, perfection, 10000/10.
