THE DELUXE LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER FOR FANS OF SCARLETT ST CLAIR AND COLLECTORS OF STEAMY ROMANTASY! New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti explores the forbidden and the taboo in this steamy romantasy twist on Beauty and the Beast - the first in a seductive new dark romance series set in an alternate Silicon Valley where information is power, and those who control the flow of information live like gods... "Sexy and utterly engrossing!" -J.T. Geissinger, bestselling author of The Queens and Monsters series Alana. While my name means beauty, beneath that surface is a depth I allow very few to see. I'm sole heir to Aquarius Social, a media giant about to succumb to an unseen enemy. My father's solution is to marry me off to the son of a competing family. My reaction? Not a chance. Now I have just a week before the wedding to change my fate. Who knew the unforeseen twist would be an assassination attempt on me and an unwanted rescue by Thorn Beathach, the head of the rival social media empire driving Aquarius under? The richest, most ruthless of them all, the Beast protects his realm with an iron rule- no one sees his face. When he shows himself to me, I know he'll never let me go. Thorn may think he can lock me in his enchanted castle forever, but I'm not the docile Beauty he expects. If the Beast wants to tie me up, I'm going to take pleasure from every minute of it . . .and we'll just see who ends up shackled. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Grimm Bargains series #1. Fairy tale retelling. Dark romantic suspense with paranormal / magical elements.
Alana Beaumont works at Aquarius Social using emotions to gain followers and power the network crystals. It’s a “family” business and ratings are everything.
Thorn Besthsch owns Malice Media in direct competition with Aquarius Social. He follows Alana, not only from her postings, but he’s also in the dark shadows wherever she goes. When Thorn uncovers an assassination attempt, he intervenes and kidnaps Alana himself. He considers her his now to protect, and keep. Unfortunately someone has loaded a virus to his computer systems which is freezing the garnet that powers everything. And that freezing from the inside out is having the same impact on Thorn himself.
Stalker much? No, it’s just the current trendy dark mafia romance where Thorn must dominate and protect Alana from everything including herself.
The best part for me besides the banter is Alana spending a lot of time in Thorn’s library. It’s huge and well stocked with ladders all around and comfy couches. She finds obscure books of poems, books on gems and so much more. It’s only later that Thorn realizes she can read over a half dozen different languages including his native Gaelic.
Thorn is probably considered an anti hero. He’s demanding, authoritatively harsh and dominating. Killing, or fighting or ordering those things done is just in his nature. There are pieces of humanitarian philosophy there, but it’s certainly not the reason he has hungry man-eating fish in his moat! Or how he tortures / questions others.
Additional mysteries are interwoven in the story including the death of Alana’s brother (which occurred before this book started) as well as a serial killer that seems to be stalking Alana lookalikes. Or is it just a miss from Alana herself?
Action packed and spicy hot spankings make this book breathtaking and provocative. You won’t want to put it down until the end.
I received a copy of this from NetGalley. This is an author and book I will purchase all formats and more to share with avid reader friends. (
