Overall I loved this bundle of books!
These are three books about Haley Constantine and Leo Morelli. I loved how this couple's story unfolded.
Secret Beast: Leo Morelli wants his revenge on the Constantine family, so when Philip Constantine comes to him looking to fund his inventions, he jumps at the chance.
When Haley finds out her father has become involved with Morelli, she steps in to try and protect him. She agrees to spend thirty days with him, allowing him anything he wants in order to earn her father's freedom from his contract.
Hidden Beauty: Picking up right where the other ended, Haley and Leo's sister Eva are glued to Leo's side as he recovers from his injuries. Just as his health is getting better, Haley is kidnapped by evil hag Caroline. He'll stop at nothing to get her back.
Fallen Rose: Haley is still having nightmares from her time away from Leo. But when her father suffers a heart attack he sends her away so she can be by his side. And to free her from his darkness. But he's spiraling out of control and once again Haley rushes to his side to pull him back from the edge.
Thanks so much to the author and ValentinePR for this ARC to review.

Leo and Haley are pure fire together and their story, a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast, is perfect for dark romance lovers and not only.
This trilogy has everything you can expect, great world build, characters that grown on you with each mischievous grin and steamy scenes that will heat up your kindle in seconds.

Beast of Bishop’s Landing
Secret Beast
This book!!! It was AMAZING from the beginning! We heard all these bad things about Leo, but this book showed us what he was really about. I loved Haley. She was the sweet heroine to Leo’s Antihero. I loved the stronger she got the more he was pulled into her sweetness. Let me also say... the minute I think I know everything another bomb is dropped. I really need the second book! Like yesterday!!!
Hidden Beauty
Oh my goodness! Leo is the perfect antihero that we hate to love. This second book does nothing to calm the worry over these characters. Amelia Wilde gives us all the danger, angst, and yes dare I say romance between them we could possibly handle. I love that the Beast of Bishop’s Landing is here to stay. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Fallen Rose
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.
Bonus content
Oh my if you didn’t love Leo before this… he is absolutely worth swooning over here.

4.5 Stars- This trilogy was really good! This was my first Amelia book and I was impressed. While this is a Beauty and The Beast retelling, it also plays into some tropes from Romeo and Juliet as well as 50 Shades of Grey. Haley has to offer up herself to get her dad out of a bad deal with “The Beast” Leo. What starts as forced proximity and captive, becomes so much more. They feed off of each other and have a sense of exactly what the other needs.
Even when some of the worst events happen, it’s like the two are not whole unless they’re together. The steam was spicy and the tension was really enjoyable. This book was a roller coaster, but I devoured it in no time because it was an easy read and never dragged from one book into the next.
The best part of these books are the subtle and organic nods to Beauty and The Beast. It’s so well done that you smile when you get to them because it’s a constant remainder that while this book is a retelling, it completely lives on it’s own.
I received an advanced copy of this three-book boxset in exchange for an honest review.

Beast of Bishops Landing is another part of the Midnight Dynasty world, originally released as three separate books, this new version contains Secret Beast, Hidden Beauty and Fallen Rose, along with additional chapters.
If you’re not familiar with the Midnight Dynasty world, you can sum it up as a never ending war between the Morelli's and Constantine's. They hate each other.
Beast of Bishops Landing follows Leo Morelli, nicknamed as The Beast of Bishops Landing, and Haley Constantine.
Leo has a long standing personal grudge against the Constantine’s and uses Haley’s love for her father to coax her into giving him 30 days of her living in his house… sleeping in his bed.
Whilst it’s an unconventional way to start a relationship, this was utterly captivating, full of suspense, so much spice and steam, intense backstories and heartbreaking sacrifices. A beautifully dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast. There were so many struggles for Leo and Haley, and I loved the way they fought for what they wanted, and deserved.
The characters were so superb. I loved loved loved Leo! He was so broken, but I was so captivated by him and his secrets. He was ruthless and savage, cold and dominating, but the exposure of his secrets unleashes his heart and soul. Honestly, Leo went through so much in his past, his back story broke my heart, I felt his pain in my soul. But my goodness, the way he evolved, and the way he loved Haley was truly enthralling.
Haley was stronger than she thought or was ever perceived to be, her purity and compassion were beautiful, her transformation throughout the book was so elegant.
Together, Leo and Haley’s, chemistry was insane, but their emotional connection that’s what really drew me in, it was so pure and vulnerable, yet unwavering and powerful at the same time.
A fantastic retelling of the classic love of Beauty and the Beast, with everything you want from a dark romance.

Y’all know by now that Amelia Wilde is one of my ride or die authors. I’m never disappointed with her writing, and you will not be disappointed by The Beast of Bishop’s Landing. The best part is that you get all three books of the trilogy in one volume!
The Constantine and the Morelli families have been feuding for decades. When Phillip Constantine enters into a questionable contract with Leo Morelli, his young daughter Haley steps in hoping to persuade Leo to cancel the contract. Leo agrees, but only if he has Haley (and her body) in his home for thirty days. Haley agrees.
This story is a modern retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast story. When Haley gets involved with Leo, more sinister members of her family emerge to try and control what is happening. What Haley doesn’t know is that Leo has a past with the Constantines, and his only goal now is revenge and humiliation. What Leo doesn’t expect is the light that Haley brings to his darkness. Through her, he will find his heart and be able to love again, assuming the vicious Constantines and their minions let him.
This a beautiful, heartbreaking, lush story that I promise you will read more than once. I love the strong characters, their world, and the depth of emotion Wilde pens. Once you’ve read it, let me know what you think! I’m a total fangirl for Leo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4.5 stars average series rating. I had read enough of the Midnight Dynasty world to where I thought I had a favourite character. That is until I met Leo. I blazed through this trilogy in 2 days, give or take and I was thrilled to have the bonus content and the complete trilogy because if those cliffhangers had been a thing...I would have screamed a lot. This story was EPIC. It's a very well structured and wickedly dark BATB re-telling with a "monster" hero and his little ball of sunshine Hayley. Hayley gave Leo what he didn't think he deserved and Leo gave Hayley more than she sometimes could handle. It was a delightful journey and at times I almost had tears in my eyes. I will not be sleeping on Amelia Wilde any longer because this was MAGNIFICENT. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.

This is Amelia Wilde at her finest and she brings us this beast who hides his dark secret from everyone with his temper. When he seeks revenge on the family who caused all his pain and suffering he may meet his match.
Haley will sacrifice anything to protect her family and she doesn’t know the challenge that faces.
You can’t help but be hooked on this series and flipping through the pages.
