If you are in to Adult versions of fairytales, Daddy play (not incest! Just call me daddy) or OTT alphas this is the book for you. It’s a quick easy read. While the love scenes are scorching hot it’s not all lusty mattress moves there is a pretty interesting backstory to the Beast and some parent drama for Annabelle. It remains true to the tale you already know and love while keeping it modern (and kinky). While you can’t share this one with the kiddos I highly recommend making this your bedtime story.

Modern Day Beast!

Any time there is a rendition of Beauty and the Beast, I grab it. It is my all time favorite fairy tale and Jane Henry has retold it with a modern day twist. Sawyer Gryffon, our beast, has been a recluse for a decade. When given the chance to expand his empire, he realizes he will need the facade of a wife. He chooses Annabelle Symphony and it is so easy to fall in love with this character. Her innocence is evident, but she has a intuitive side helping her to understand Sawyer. But this does intuition does not prevent her from getting herself into trouble. As true to the fairy tale, Annabelle finds herself in situations that anger the Beast, but in this case, a little domestic discipline is in order, and this man certainly can dish out a harsh, yet erotic spanking! In true Jane Henry fashion, this book had me enraptured from the first chapter, and I could not stop listening. She can write an alpha male book with a spunky heroine and I can be guaranteed a smart, hot and entertaining listen. I loved it.

Narrated by Gunnar Qualen and Jenna St. Claire, this team brings the fairy tale to life. Qualen has that deep, dark baritone voice which is perfect for Sawyer. You can feel both the love and the anger through his narration. St. Claire voices Annabelle with that sweet, innocent sound, yet giving her that edge of naughtiness. The performance was excellent.

Daddy’s Good Little Story

Was given the opportunity to read by first book by Jane Henry with new narrators to me of Gunnar Qualen and Jenna St Clair.

Good redo of Beauty and the Beast, even though I did not think of Spencer as a beast but more of a tormented soul. Gunnar with his deep baritone voice was perfect as the 6’5” Spencer. And Jenna did a wonderful Annabelle.

Book 1

The author gave Beauty and the Beast a very naughty twist! and a whole new meaning . She made me long for me to find my own beast. A tormented beast who knows exactly how to treat a woman.

Have a towel handy!

the story, the way the narration is performed, the performers...a simply stunning, completely erotic, spellbinding tale! I found myself sinking into my little, and really enjoying the trek!

It'll make you want to scream for Daddy.

Female narrator ugh

The story was a okay twist to the fairy tale. I would have actually liked this book had the female narrator just hadn’t ruined it for me. She sounded about 20 years older then the age she was meant to be. And just plain corny. The male narrator sounded like the beast perfectly. Story also could have done without all the spanking. Lol now I’m okay with a little spanking but it got ridiculous. Like she couldn’t say “no” without a spanking. Sorry but it wasn’t sexy I was irritated every time.

Good Twist

***I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review***

This book made me catch my breath multiple times. Always in a good way of course. It made me laugh and squeal at the same time. I loved it! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a blush-inducing twist on Beauty and the Beast with a perfect HEA.

As a personal preference, the narration for Annabelle was not really my cup of tea. She just sounded too…matronly… for a woman who was supposed to be 20 years old…As for the narrator for Sawyer; he was phenomenal and definitely took the book to another level. He was aggressive, as well as, soft and sweet when he needed to be.

Outstanding Story and Audible Book!

Jane Henry has given an arousing erotic twist to Beauty and the Beast. Sawyer may be a beast but he is an intuitive, sensitive, and caring one. Annabelle is also sensitive and caring but has enough of a bratty side to make her fun. I love how these two interact and know how to please each other. Their explosive sex scenes are filled with caring and passion.

The narrators are new to me. Gunnar's deep baritone voice is perfect for Sawyer. Jenna's voice seemed a little older sounding for Annabelle, but I did think that she did a good job. I was a fun listening experience.

I volunteered to receive and write an honest review for this Audible book. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Not my cup of tea

The story was written well, but definitely not my cup of tea. Could have been better, felt like it was lacking something that could have really made it good. Could not even finish the book so uninteresting!

Disappointed with narrators

Was so looking forward to this but I couldn't finish it.

I felt that both narrators used the same voice "energy" for the all the different characters. Almost immediately, I was turned off with the female narrator. I feel that she wasn't a good choice for this at all! I just couldn't enjoy it the story. I do keep in mind though she fits other works of course.

I also am not a fan at all when narrators voice their characters within the same conversation. I prefer they each cover a chapter on their own.

The male narrator was a bit better, but I prefer him when he does anime voice overs.
