I LOVE this modern Beauty and the Beast retelling so much!
This conclusion was amazing!
I adore the characters and their journey.
Leo is a complex and interesting anti-hero.
Leo and Haley are so intriguing and they’re great together!
Their chemistry is crazy hot and so naughty in the most fun ways!
It is a retelling with so much originality that really makes it stand out and stand on its own.
There’s danger, tension, surprising emotions and fiery sexy times!
I fell even harder for Leo! I absolutely love him!
Haley was always likable and surprising in good ways. Her strength, love and naughtiness stand out.
I really love these characters and their story.
Such a great book and trilogy!
I highly recommend this trilogy, I enjoyed it so much. I’m sad to say goodbye to these characters. Epic!

A wicked, but heartfelt finale to this dark twist of Beauty and the Beast.
I loved this whole twisted tale of Leo Morelli and Haley Constantine. Their love was unconventional, seemed impossible, and certainly defied the odds, but doesn't that make the best stories at the end of the day? The over resounding answer to that is YES!
Leo is known as the Beast of Bishop's Landing, but Haley is one of the few who truly sees the man behind the beast. A man consumed by pain and anger who protects those behind the scenes to keep up his beastly mask, but as we come to learn Haley not only receives that protection up front, but she accepts both the beast and the man which is all he's ever looked for his entire life. He will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means letting her go.
Haley is all in and wants to be with Leo, which should be perfect, the complication comes in with the Constantine family. They will never allow her to be with a Morelli no matter how much Leo and Haley want to be together. She wants to be with Leo, but could it do more damage staying together?
The entire story is heartbreaking, because anyone familiar with the Beauty and the Beast tale knows that the Beast is really a good guy under all of his blustering and has to let his Belle go even though he loves her and everyone within Belle's world believes the Beast is so horrible and no matter how much she has grown to love him no one will believe he isn't an awful person.
Amelia took all of the wonderful things I loved about the classic tale along with all the wicked things I love about dark romance and mashed them together. It truly has been the best of both worlds and loved reading every page.

What a fantastic ending to an amazing series that only got better and better and one that you won't want to look away from or you'll miss something. I couldn't wait to read this final book especially after that ending in Bk2 wholly moley did Amelia bring her A game to this Constatine vs Morelli fight there were times I thought how was Leo going to pull this off, but don't worry he had someone more dangerous as his backup. Thats all I'm going to say if you've been reading this series you'll not want to miss this final book it'll have you wanting to get stabby that's for sure...well maybe that was just me, but you'll be feeling all the feels. Definitely a must read to finish out the series.

This final chapter in Leo and Haley's story was perfect, and so much more than I could have expected. Their love is raw, and sometimes broken, but always emotional and heartfelt.
Several times while reading this story I was worried, worried that the outcome of this couple would not be as beautiful as I needed it to be. They fractured and broke apart so many times, and finally found the glue to put them back together and make they stick as one.
The Beast of Bishop's Landing is now the Prince of Bishop's Landing, as he always should have been.

This series started so high and so well for me. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie and I had really high hopes. I feel like all of my hopes have been met and I love a good anti-hero, bad boy who only melts for the woman he loves. But at times, this book felt like I was going in circles and there were a few loose ends or confusing parts which made me scratch my head.
I couldn't believe the twist with Caroline. Like mouth on the floor, "holy shit" moments. When I was reading the Cinderella Duet, I did not expect her to be as evil as she is.
The wrap up with Cash and Haley's father felt...unfinished? Like you sold her out to Caroline, yet there was no real conversation about her forgiving them and them being sorry and hoping to repair their relationship. I would've liked more of a wrapup with this piece of the story.
The spice was another level. If Miss Wilde does something well, it is going to be the spice because yes ma'am. The progression of their love felt fast, but what else should I suspect with a retelling?
Overall, I really enjoyed this series and learning more about Leo than what we saw in the previous trilogy. I have so much more understanding for his character and loved reading about him falling in love with Haley.

Of course once I finished my review of Hidden Beauty, I immediately started Fallen Rose. I needed to know what was going to happen and all that jazz. So the book and my emotions were in a fairly heightened place there in the beginning, but there was a lull for a little while after that. While there was a bit of slow period though, it definitely picked up and had me completely sucked in. Fallen Rose had me all up in my feels from being frustrated/heartbroken with characters and situations and wanting Leo and Haley to be free and get their HEA to felling all warm and heart melty/squeezey seeing Haley and Leo’s love. Fallen Rose was for sure the best book of the bunch, it didn’t disappoint — I just completely loved it!
