Summary

Narrated in duet by Bridget Bordeaux and Troy Duran

What if the Beast took the girl of his dreams AND the man who was desperate to claim her, and used them to act out his every fantasy...

The witch’s wrath has left me isolated, broken.
A Beast unable to even touch another living soul without ruining them.
My only solace comes from watching the one I’ve fallen in love with from afar. Fleur.
She’s beautiful, spirited, and everything I desire. I can’t give her what she needs, but there’s one in the village who can…
Gabriel is tall, strong, and handsome—all things I once was. As my days grow lonelier, I accept that I need them—both of them.
They’ll act out every dark, twisted fantasy my monstrous form prevents me from participating in.
And with any luck, they’ll grow to enjoy their new prison.
But the closer we become, the more the roses wither and die. The castle is changing. The curse exacts a greater toll each day.
Unless… Is it possible Fleur is meant for more than satiating my most carnal needs?
Could she be the one to break the spell?
Or is it too impossible for anyone to love a Beast?

Okay, I need a second, because once this book gets going… it REALLY gets going (if you catch my drift 😏)

What started as reminiscing my fave princess movie, suddenly became something that swept me off my feet and into this world where fairytales are X-Rated 🥵

This duet narration was an all star performance that enhanced every aspect of the story, the spice was steamier and the emotion brought it all life creating the full package that kept me on every kind of edge, needing more and needing it now.

By the end I had literal goosebumps, I’ve cried, I’ve swooned, the full works, but one thing I can’t get over is how this was such a next level performance that you can tell the characters apart by the different tones TD uses for this narration. Total-perfection.

Interesting take, twisted and dark beauty and the beast theme story. Good chemistry! I enjoyed this darker version with a twist.

#TheWrathofRoses by #VioletTaylor is #1 of the #TalesSoWickedSeries and can be read as a standalone, with no cliffhanger!

This is my second foray into fairytale retellings and I really loved this one! If you looking for an imaginative, dark and very smexy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, look no further, but please pay attention to the TWs. I also loved the epilogue, which was perfect! I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author.

My only questions are (1) why did the castle keep shifting and (2) were the servants turning in zombies?

The #duetnarration was excellent by #TroyDuran as both Reynard (Beast) and Gabriel (Gaston) but Fleur should be pronounced fl-err and not flu-er. #BridgetBordeaux was a new narrator to me and I found her inhales after each sentence off-putting but got used to them after a while.

Thanks so much #DarkStarRomance for bringing this wonderful book to my attention and I can't wait to read more of the series.

Beauty & The Beast like never before!

An absolutely dark & dirty retelling. This dark, & hot beauty & the beast retelling is full of some nostalgia, but also has a smutty twist that will leave you dripping for more.
This fairytale is not for the faint of hearts, it’s brutal, dark, full of secrets, desires, curses, and plenty of spice.
I love the relationship dynamic that blooms from this story. I hope we get more dark & dirty retellings.

Story was a unique reimagined tale, steamy scenes were good, a few loose ends but otherwise a good listen.
