The Billionaire Beast

This cover is fairly nice. The red is a bit harsh in my opinion, but the composition is nicely done. The typography is lovely and has good placement. I would probably have made the author's name smaller to line up with the title. I'm of the opinion that the title of a book should be the largest and most prominent text on the cover. Because the author's name extends almost the entire width of the cover it draws the eye away from the title.

I REALLY enjoyed this one. This is the second book by this author I have read (The Billionaire's Virgin being the first), and she knows how to weave a tale. It was a surprisingly dark subject matter with the hero's issues, and I wasn't expecting that, but it all worked so well for me.



Nero was an incredibly damaged hero. He was a HUGE asshole, to begin with, and I wasn't sure I was going to get over that. As the book goes on the author peels more layers from his character, and I found myself falling a little in love with him myself. I thought Phoebe was a great character as well. She was damaged, but to a way lesser extent than Nero, and I enjoyed the way she stood up to him while still recognizing that his behavior was stemming from a place of pain and hurt. Together these two characters healed each other.

Not much left to say. It was a well-written. Nicely paced emotional read and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
