I’m about to live in this universe and read every single spin off series. Woof.
Could this book have been any more romantic? I don't think so. Oh yes, it's part of the Midnight Dynasty, and yes, it's a bit dark. But the Leo Morelli I met initially in the Stroke of Midnight by K. Webster is no longer the same man. Just like in the fairy tale, Haley transformed Leo just as Belle transformed the beast. Their story was so much more than what I anticipated, and Caroline Constantine is truly Maleficent. I don't see her getting much redemption from her dirty deeds.
Leo and Haley have much to overcome, and Leo is suffering from chronic pain that is insurmountable. Haley will not give up on their relationship nor helping Leo. Although Haley is sweet and quiet, she is also quite strong and will stand up for herself when necessary. The story had action, bad guys (of course Maleficent/Caroline), even more glimpses into just how good a guy Leo is, and several happy happy happy scenes that were so romantically heartwarming you wanted to weep. We got to see other Morellis and Constantines from previous novels that left us wondering about their probable stories. Oh, and did I mention we get a couple of Easter eggs into Amelia's other books? Squee!!
Fallen Rose was a supremely satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, and I am so glad I read it. I have really become a fan of Amelia Wilde's writing, and I look forward to her next trilogy about Daphne Morelli. But for now, I am going to revel in the oh-so-well-deserved HEA of Leo and Haley.

PHROAH what an ending to a trilogy!! Way too much happened into this third book that I found myself needing breaks to be like "Whaaattt!". And yes, I have purchased Hades & Persephone by Amelia after reading this book ;)
Please note you must read this trilogy in order, with this being the final book.
Fallen Rose picks up right where Hidden Beauty left off. Haley is gone. They have taken her. And worse? Her brother helped. Leo Morelli will stop at nothing to get Haley back, even if it means getting his older brother Lucian involved.
Haley meanwhile learns who the true monster of the Morelli & Constantine families are and it isn't a Morelli! As Caroline keeps trying to spread rumours into her mind, she knows her love for Leo is real & she doesn't let it go. When Leo finally rescues her, he isn't just rescuing her from the monster but from herself too as she truly learns in that moment who she is & what/who she wants.
Leo & Haley have a connection like no other. Everyone around them sees it, & I was so relieved that they finally decided to see it. It does take a while to them to fully let each other in, but when they do it is worth it & they become an unbreakable force. Until the monster strikes again.
I did get mad at Leo & how he reacted in pushing Haley away. He finally opens up himself, to only close it & push her straight back into the monsters arms. Thank goodness he has a great supportive family & Haley isn't quitter when it comes to someone she loves.
This trilogy ends nicely. I did find the third book did have a little too much back & forth though. As mentioned, I did have to put it down & step away a few time for a breather. But all in all, I adore Amelia's writing & enjoyed it.
4/5 stars with 4/5 steam.

I’m going to be 100% honest here and say that this was an extremely difficult read for me. And I’m not entirely sure why. I love the Beauty and the Beast Trilogy; however, I had issues with this book. Don’t get me wrong, I still like Haley and Leo, but their relationship was so off to me in this book. Actually, Haley was extremely off to me as well.
At the end of Hidden Beauty, we’re left hanging with Haley being taken by her family’s goons. The whole situation is messed up. First issue for me is that Haley doesn’t even react to the fact that her brother was the one who lured her out that night. The aunt that ends up with Haley is just a psychopath, but that was established well before this book. Haley was definitely taken advantage of during her stay and rightfully so she dealt with PTSD and heinous nightmares. What bothered me the most about the whole thing is how Leo handled the issues that Haley had. Instead of getting her real help, he used sex to ‘help’ her.
The plus of Fallen Rose was that you get a bit more insight into Leo’s life, what his childhood was truly like. In the end, I’m glad that Haley and Leo got their happy ending and that they were finally going to have the life together that they always wanted.
While I did give the book a rating of 4 stars, it’s more like a 3.75 for me; however, I rounded up because I don’t think the story actually deserves just 3 stars.

Oh my goodness! Leo is amazing! We pick back up, and Leo is losing his mind. I feel so bad for him. His whole body hurts. He’s losing his mind. It was almost like you could see him turning into the “Beast”. Haley is just the perfect person for him because she craves it.
This book had me holding my breath. I don’t want it to be over! Why does it have to finish??? I truly loved their story. I’ve loved the whole family of stories.

Thank you to Amelia Wilde, Serena and the rest of the Dangerous Press team for the advance reader copy of Fallen Rose, the final book in the Beauty and the Beast trilogy. This book hits shelves on July 20th!
I have been dying while waiting for this final book. I cannot wait for the conclusion to Leo and Hayley’s love story. I have really enjoyed getting to know Leo Morelli on a deeper level and I just wanna go even deeper.

I have loved Leo and Haley’s story from the moment I started reading Secret Beast, but Fallen Rose takes their story and their relationship to a whole other level.
Fallen Rose picks up where things left off in Hidden Beauty and really you shouldn’t read this one without reading the two previous books or else you will be a whole lot of confused.
I loved getting to see a more vulnerable side to Leo, it made him feel more real in a way. He isn’t just this vicious and cold man, he has a softer side. Haley is his exact opposite, but also exactly the type of woman he needed in his life. Their chemistry is off the charts and their bond is strong.
From start to finish Leo and Haley’s story was addicting, captivating and pure heat!
If you’re looking for a dark, steamy, fairytale retelling this is one to check out!

leo morelli my princee
AND LEOHALEY SO SEXYYY
but they did not deserve to suffer soo much all through 3 books. they did not deserve to be surrounded by absolute losers (not including eva and daphne they're both my princesses)
lucian most useless older brother in history he shouldn't exist like he could've easily protected leo all his life but 'he doesn't feel anything' bicth SHUT THE FUCJ UP AND BE A MAN AND A BROTHER TO YOUR 7 LITTLE SIBLINGS BITCHASS
winston is a loser and probably momma's boy with no backbone
caroline is an old hag who deserved to be sh0t between her eyes multiple times for abusing leo and abetting haley's sexual assault
leo's dad needed to be dealt with why did he not suffer the consequences of abusing leo
haley's brother and dad stupidest ppl ever haley should've left them
3 stars only for leohaley bcs I didn't like the plot. the 'drama/conflict' was dragged too much but resolved too quickly/easily for my liking. if the caroline problem could've been solved through lawyers and press conf, why didn't it get resolved in book 2? why did leo have to get shot, leo let haley go TWICE, haley getting kidnapped and sexually assaulted?? ur telling me all these things wouldn't have happened if they'd just gotten good lawyers to get rid of caroline ?????
fuck this shit
they should've just kiIIed caroline. how difficult is it to kiII an old lady??? all these guns and for WHAT??
i will not be reading lucian and winston's book they don't even deserve to have books d3ath to both of them
I might read daphne's books tho idk maybe hades' too
