Publisher Description
In Bed with the Beast is the second audiobook in the Naughty Princess Club series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec. Listeners return to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that three women fall into once they decide to strut their stuff and bring on their own happily ever after.
A tale as old as time: she needs a place to stay, he's a grump with a secret and an extra room...can love find a way?
Living in her overprotective dad’s basement, shy Belle lives her life through books. Being a part of the Naughty Princess Club is the first adventure she’s ever had, plus she desperately needs the money to save one of her favorite places - the local library.
But when her new friends and new business gets her kicked out of her dad’s house, Belle is rescued by the surly Vincent “Beast” Adams who invites her to be his house guest until she gets back on her feet. Despite his attitude problem and long list of rules, Belle finds herself warming to the muscled man with a penchant for growling and starts seeing a gentle side to him that wasn’t there before.
Yet there’s a room that Beast keeps locked and Belle keeps getting hints that Beast is hiding something…can a nerdy librarian tame the beast or will their romance be over before it has a chance to blossom?
Customer Reviews
Liked the First Book, But This One…
Belle was unbearable and Beast did not make sense as a character the more his backstory was revealed. Part of the fun of the first book was seeing Cindy evolve from stuck up housewife to sexually liberated business-owner. This book told us the main couple had changed over the course of the story but other than Beast learning to cook and Belle using some curse words and learning about sex first-handedly, they were just as annoyingly one-note and flat in the end as when they started. Belle also goes from living with her dad to living with Beast (a significantly older counterpart) and calls it becoming independent. She is inexplicably infantile and constantly relies on her friends to give her rides, solve her problems, and tell her what to do. The first book felt witty and subversive. The second suffers from characters that aren’t fleshed out enough to root for and a plot that drags along, running over every expected trope in the most anticlimactic way possible.
