Review

4 “Beauty and the Beast” stars!

Isabelle is one of the owners of the Naughty Princess Club, a home party stripping company. Though she doesn’t partake in the actual stripping, she makes enough to make ends meet, barely. She manages the town library but without adequate funding the library will be shut down. When she is left without a home and dwindling cash, she decides she needs to start stripping to get the money needed to save the library.

Vincent, aka Beast, is a bouncer at Charming’s strip club. When he starts coming around the library, Isabelle can’t imagine that he’s there for her. Soon he’s invading her space and giving her an offer she can’t refuse – a place to stay free of rent. She also needs experience with men before she can start stripping and who better to help her than her new roommate, the sexy beast who works at a strip club?

This book is so much fun! It’s full of humor and heart, and I couldn’t keep the smile off my face. It’s a great twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast fairytale and I loved it.

Isabelle is a hoot. The things that flip through her brain and come out of her mouth are hilarious. She thinks getting experience with guys will help her strip and so she goes on dates that couldn’t be more awkward or entertaining. During the story she goes through wonderful character growth especially as she starts to see what Vincent sees when he looks at her. She goes from shy and naïve to bold and confident, and I loved watching her take charge of her life.

Vincent is broody, sexy, and a total alpha. He isn’t an open book and comes across as a grouch. He is a mystery and Isabelle can’t figure him out. Soon we see that Vincent is so much more than what meets the eye. Under the beastly exterior he is thoughtful, sweet, and totally swoon worthy.

“Look at me,” I whisper…
“I am looking at you. I’ve been looking at you since the day you first came to Charming’s. I tried to slam the door in your face, and you put your hands on your hips and told me off,” he says with a fierce look in his eyes. “You are the highest caliber of woman I have ever met in my life. You don’t take my shit, you aren’t afraid of me even though you should be, and you have absolutely not fucking idea how goddamn beautiful and sexy you are.”

Isabelle and Vincent are great together. They drive each other crazy yet you can see the attraction grow. They have great chemistry and are hot when they give into their desires. Though I enjoyed the steam, the interactions outside the bedroom were just as good as the ones inside. The entertaining banter and sweet moments made me smile, and watching Isabelle and Vincent open up as they learn to trust one another warmed my heart. I loved watching them fall hard and realizing they were perfect for each other.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than the risk of falling in love. Sometimes you hit a few roadblocks along the way, but it’s always worth it in the end.”

I have to give a shout out to the other members of the Naughty Princess Club. Just like Isabelle, Cindy and Ariel are awesome. They are all such good friends and are honest and open with each other. They are ridiculously entertaining, and I loved guessing what they’d do next. I can’t wait to get more of them! Mrs. Potter was hilarious, too, and added even more laughs to the story.

Though In Bed with the Beast is the second book in the Naughty Princess Club series, it can be read as a complete standalone. It’s the first I have read of the series and will definitely not be the last. I can’t wait to dive into Cindy and Ariel’s stories, At the Stroke of Midnight and Kiss the Girl.
