review 1: I love the story of beauty and the beast and I have seen few adaptations which I absolutely adore, however I found this book to be a difficult read for me, I guess in a way as I was reading other BDSM series @ the time it was hard not to make the comparisons between the interaction with the characters and the steamy scenes, ok I have to give it it was a good spin of from the "Disney" Classic and well written and adapted to the genre.
review 2: Wow, what an interesting take on Beauty and the Beast. It was hard to put down and I read it in a day. The Beast has 7 days to convince Amarantha to love him. It isn't said in that way, but that's what Beauty and the Beast is all about. This book has light BDSM in it, Amarantha is a virgin and therefore everything he sho... morews her, teaches her, is brand new. The one part that I didn't like as much, is that I felt like Amarantha didn't have much of a choice on anything and because things were so new for her I felt her fear a lot of the time. Her family got her into this but it was then left up to her to save her family. It all worked out in the end, as I knew it would, so I kept reading. Jeffe does a great job of writing stories with light BDSM that are not just about male dominance (even though I made that statement above about Amarantha not having a choice). I think the Beast knew exactly how far to push Amarantha, could tell from her reactions what she liked and when he felt he was losing control he let her go. He didn't want to hurt her and did always take good care of her. I liked that Jeffe described things very respectfully, as was typical to the Beast's character. If you like Beauty and the Beast stories, but would like a more adult version with light BDSM I would recommend this one. less
