New Release & Review!!! Her Beast, His Beauty-- Jenika Snow!!!

Whenever an author does a take on a fairytale, you may as well count me in for reading it right away- particularly when that tale is a retelling of Beauty & The Beast. One of my personal favorites, many authors have thrown their spin on this classic, but few have done as naughty a job as Jenika Snow.

Rofus has entered a self-imposed exile, since an accident left him scarred, and in his own mind, disfigured so bad that he felt he needed to be locked away from everyone. However, being a millionaire, and CEO of his own company- it was easy for him to do so, even if it only further damaged his self-esteem in the process.

Enter Britta- our Beauty. She applies for a job at the estate Rofus owns, as a housekeeper, having only recently fallen on hard times herself and needing a fresh start at life. She, of course, had heard the stories of her potential employer, how he was a cold and callous man, how he should be feared- how he was truly The Beast. However, she was fueled by an eagerness to strive for a better life than the one she had, as well, the hope that she may one day meet the mysterious man.

Little did Britta know, she would become the sole focus of our Beast, his one true love and obsession. Upon seeing his Beauty on his video monitors the day of her job interview, he sets about his claim on her immediately. He hires her own, even though the thought of having her be "the help" is completely loathsome to him. He only wants to protect and cherish his Beauty. 

We truly get the vein of Beauty & The Beast in this tale, as you see the ferocity of Rofus in so many ways, yet the tenderness that she shows Britta is unmatched- she is his weakness, much like in the fairytale. He would do anything for her. Even re-enter the society that he left so long ago, as long as it brought happiness to his Beauty.

Everything about this one is reminiscent of the classic, except with the hottest of hot sex scenes written in, as only Jenika Snow knows how to do. I adored it, and can only hope that she decides to play around with some other fairytales as well!! 

5 stars!!!

ROFUS

From the moment I saw her, I knew I couldn’t let her go.

For a decade I’d stayed secluded, my appearance and attitude frightening people, keeping them away. But I’d come to like that, grow stronger from it. And then she came into my life, a spitfire of a woman who challenged me and showed no fear.

I should have sent her away for her own good, but I was too selfish to let her go.

I wanted her as mine even though I didn’t deserve her.

BRITTA

I should have been afraid when he said I was his.

His heart had grown hard and cold, his isolation making him hate the world. He thought people should fear him because of the scars he bore, but I found beauty in them. I was just the housekeeper, but I couldn’t help how I felt for him.

Maybe he was a beast, a vicious animal hidden under a hard, powerful body. Maybe I should have run, but I knew he’d come for me, find me. Deep down, where I couldn’t lie, I wanted him to be mine.

And that frightened me most of all.

Warning: This is a sweet, fast retelling of Beauty and the Beast. But this isn’t the fairy tale you heard long ago. It’s packed full of hot, dirty bits that’ll make you squirm while you’re reading it. Don’t worry; it’s got that sticky-sweet Happily Ever After we all crave.

I didn’t care if I was crossing lines. I didn’t give a fuck if I should have stayed away, reminding myself she was my employee. I wanted Britta like a fucking fiend needing his next fix, and I wasn’t going to deny myself. I wasn’t going to practice self-control, not when I had her right here in front of me, her desire for me clear.
Truth was I wanted her to know that she was mine, that I would destroy anything or anyone who tried to tell me differently. Being locked away these last ten years, even though it was my own doing, had made me hardened. It had changed me, made me the beast everyone already thought I was.
Instinct controlled me and I found myself moving closer to her. She moved a step back, maybe slightly afraid, maybe because she didn’t know what I had planned. But this primal need was dictating what I did, propelling me forward until I wasn’t myself. And then I was right in front of her. I pulled her close to me and she gasped. I loved that sound, and wanted to hear her make it again when I was balls deep in her.
Emotions slammed into me, and I knew this wasn’t about me wanting to control her, to own her. I wanted her as mine, no doubt about it, but I wanted her to know that I was hers too. This was fast, fucking crazy in all senses of the word. But it was real, and I hadn’t felt anything like this before.
I should have been gentle, taken my time, made this a slow burn, but I couldn’t. I was too selfish for her, too primed for a taste of Britta.
And I’d have her, every fucking part of her.
