Another awesome book in the series.Really Loved it!!
I loved V's sarcastic moments,Rhage & Mary's sweet,tender & hot moments.Rhage,Mary & Bitty's family scenes were the best part of the book.I also loved how great beast was with Mary & Bitty.

Can't wait for Layla & Xcor's Book.Really want to know more about Assail,Trez and almost every character in the book...

This book renewed my love for Rhage. I didn't think I could like a Brother more than I already did, but my goodness this book did it. I won't go into details, but I feel like Ward is getting better with the "feels" and delving deeper into the lives of the Brothers with a second book is just too perfect.

This book completely surpassed my expectations! It was so adorable and so raw!

The Beast is an emotionally charged story mainly focused on Rhage and Mary. I enjoyed it so much! All of the characters were so wonderful in this and some MAJOR things happened for different people in this story. It is so hard to give a review without totally spoiling things, so I'll just leave it at this:

The book touched on some very beautiful emotional points. Almost all of the side stories were interesting and important. Rhage and Mary are as wonderful as ever and J.R. Ward doesn't destroy their relationship, if anything she really helps to expand it. I would 100% reread this installment again and again.

“Rhage! You have a dragon! A pet dragon! I got to rub his tummy!”

So adorable!


I actually thought about not reading this, I've just been kinda disappointed by the last couple books. This is the BDB I remember, the magic has returned. I really enjoyed it. I would say even 4.5.
