Katee Robert does it again!

This wicked villains novel is a twist on Beauty and the Beast and I am here for EVERY second of it! Two hot, hunky men fighting over a princess? Yes please. A sexy two agreement to decide who wins? Yes please. A no clothes rule and a visit to club Underworld? Pass me my popcorn.

This book was so good. The background of each character was explained and they all tied in to each other beautifully. Nothing felt forced and even though you know what the ending is, you aren’t such how they will get there. I loved it and the spoiler for the next book in the series was good!

Katee Robert always delivers on the sexual chemistry between bher characters and this book was no different. It was engaging and enjoyable to hear about all the different characters and their sexual appetites.

As stated in my review of book 1, I enjoy plot with my smut, and while the books after 1 were better in my opinion, this one completely goes backwards. I enjoyed the MMF relationship shown, the way “Belle” got both Beast and “Gaston” in this one. But I think I can count on one hand how many pages did not involve smut. While it was certainly spicy, it’s just a lot. The relationship stuff basically got figured out by the midway point and the plot at the end felt like a brief add-on. It made for the second half to be quite repetitive and even boring.

My biggest issue with this story is the way
Gaeton starts randomly calling Isabelle by his safeword (Rose). It especially felt problematic when he uttered it during a spicy moment.

They really need to add a “sexy” or “steamy” mood option to describe books like this because “lighthearted” doesn’t really cover it. Anyway, I’m not into polyamory, but in this book, the dynamic between Isabelle, Beast, and Gaeton just really did it for me.

3/5⭐️
Definitely the spiciest of the series thus far omg. Overall liked the plot (the little of it that there was) and I did enjoy the ending to an extent. Everything kinda magically worked out and didn’t love that. Not the best written compared to the others. I liked the couple. Each character felt very different from the other and their personalities really shown through. Would have liked to see more of beasts darkness and more of gaetons goofiness. Isabelle is the worst FMC in the series so far in my opinion. Lot I enjoyed but if you’re looking for plot look somewhere else
