An intensely sexy Billionaire Fairy Tales standalone novel by Jackie Ashenden that is billionaire romance meets Beauty and the Beast with a happily ever after. Nero de Santis: Damaged. Bastard. Beast. Nero hasn't left his house in ten years. He demands the world come to him, and the world is only too happy to bend to the strong-willed billionaire. His last handful of assistants have left his house in tears, but the prim redhead applying for the job now looks up to the task. The fiery passion he senses beneath his reserved assistant's exterior makes him want to break down the barriers he lives behind, and unleash the beast within. Phoebe Taylor: Uptight. Misunderstood. Engaged. Phoebe needs the obscene amount of money that comes with being Nero's personal assistant for one thing, and one thing only--to pay for the mounting hospital costs that her fiancee's two-year coma continues to incur. She's heard rumors that the de Santis beast is a force that cannot be tamed--but even she isn't prepared to handle the smoldering intensity simmering beneath his hard shell of feral dominance. And yet he is the one person to look into her eyes and see her soul. Nero can't help but stake his claim on this woman who has shaken up his life. He wants to keep her. He wants to devour her. And Phoebe just might let him. Jackie Ashenden's novels have been described as "Dark, explosive, and gritty, with a splash of dominance." (Publishers Weekly, starred review on In Bed with the Billionaire) and The Billionaire Beast is the ultimate combination of those unforgettable qualities. Don't miss the sexy Cinderella retelling: The Billionaire's Virgin.… (mehr)

ARC Review: The Billionaire Beast (Billionaire Fairytales) by Jackie Ashenden

She needs a little mystery in her life. He has a lot of darkness in his soul. The Billionaire Beast is a seductive tango of tragic events, intense characters and a sensually energized dance of love. Jackie Ashenden is well known for her deeply troubled, challenging and alluring heroes. Larger than life, broken inside but capable of more than the pain that shadows their existence. Nero is equally stunning in his turbulent behavior and bad boy image. He craves a chance at stepping into the light, but has allowed the fear and turmoil of his past to imprison him. Will he ever escape the chasm of pain that surrounds him? Or will one slip of a woman prove to be his downfall? The Billionaire Beast expounds on the best parts of a turbulent tale that begins in darkness and ends in light. Redeeming story. ( )

At first, you want to whack Nero upside the head for being such an ass. But just like Phoebe, you begin to see behind the snarling beastly facade that he had constructed around himself as the story unfolds. No that is no excuse for him to be such a douche but you begin to sympathize with the crap that he's been through and the circumstances that have lead up him being the way he is.

In spite of that, he is the only one that doesn't let Phoebe get away with hiding her true self and her desires. Which leads her to discover a whole new bolder, confident and sensual side to herself. And now the new and improved Phoebe has the ability to see Nero for who he really is and can help him overcome his demons, but only if can accept that he needs her just as much as she needs him. Beauty and the Beast, Ashenden style

This book is an erotic take on Beauty and the Beast. Although, in the beginning Nero came off as a major bully then a tortured soul. In fact, it got to a point that I could not stand Nero and almost stopped reading. Yet, the story did steam up between Nero and Phoebe. This passion was enough for me to stick it out a while longer. Again, however, the first sex scene with Phoebe and Nero did not come off as sexy to me because Nero was still being rude. Phoebe was the saving grace for me. It was because of her determination to stand up to Nero that she keep me hanging on.

The last third of this book is where it really came together for me. It is also within these pages that I truly got to know Nero. When I learned his story, his soul came out and he actually won me over. That one last scene where Nero pours his heart out to Phoebe is a moving scene. I am glad these two found their happy ending.

The Billionaire Beast by Jackie Ashenden
The Billionaire Fairy Tales #2

Phoebe Taylor needs money…a lot of money…and working as the personal assistant of billionaire recluse Nero de Santis might be the only way she can get the money she needs for the care of her comatose fiancé. Nero is not an easy boss but she believes she can put up with nearly anything for the right reason. Nero is intrigued by Phoebe. He wants to break through her English cool and see what lies beneath. Over time they are drawn closer and closer to one another and begin to care for one another. Their relationship bares them to one another in more ways than one until the story ends leaving them both better off than they were when the story began.

The story is a well written modern version of Beauty and the Beast. I enjoyed the first book in the series perhaps a bit more than this one but did enjoy spending the day with Nero and Phoebe and was happy they managed to get find happiness together before the book ended.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC. This is my honest review.
