In Bed With the Beast by Tara Sivec
In Bed With the Beast is the second standalone in Sivec’s Naughty Princess Club and loosely based on the story of Beauty and the Beast.
Belle is as innocent as her fictional counterpart and lives firmly under her dads roof and thumb. When she strikes up a friendship and subsequently a business with Cin and Ariel, she finds herself kicked out of home with nowhere to go. Nowhere that is, except the library she works at which she’s striving so hard to keep from closing. When The Beast - ok fine, we can call him Vincent! - realizes Belle is essentially homeless, he insists on her moving in to his (beautiful!) home and given that she doesn’t want to inconvenience her new friends, Belle agrees.
I just loved At the Stroke of Midnight and feel that it was a hard book to live up to. While I really enjoyed In Bed With the Beast, for some reason I didn’t find it as laugh out loud funny as AtSoM and that’s something I was really excited about. The storyline and the characters were great but I just wanted more. I really loved that despite her shy nature, Belle still had the guts to stand up to Vincent and be strong when it really counted. Vincent truly lived up to his moniker and his secrets surprised me pleasantly!
You can read this as a standalone but I would suggest reading AtSoM first to get the full background on this interesting group! Now I just neeeeeed Ariel’s book!
*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.
