Beauty and the Beast (Beauty #1-4)

Beauty and the Beast



This is my first time reading a book by Skye Warren and I kind of enjoyed it, but I did wish that there was more character and plot development throughout the book. Blake's character was of a wounded soldier who is struggling to integrate back into society after a horrible accident when in the army and who is lusting after the maid who cleans his house. I personally felt that they did not give enough information on Blake's character and I hated the fact that they completely ignored his PTSD and made the book more about sex than emotions, however I did enjoy his protective alpha male side. Erin's character was a typical college student who is completing her masters and is lusting after her employer whom house she cleans. I also felt that there was a lack of background in Erin character because she sometimes felt emotionless and drab and she was not pushing for Blake to get completely better. The chemistry between Blake and Erin was hot, but the writer put to many sex scenes in the book which lead to both the book and characters to lack depth. Overall this book which had a lot of potential lacked character development and a proper story line.

Rating: 2.5/5
