***5 ‘You Are Not The Boss Of Me’ Stars***
From the very first page I was laughing and cringing all that the same time. Not that I didn’t expect it. After reading At the Stroke of Midnight, I knew that Belle and Beast aka Vincent’s book would leave me with quite a bit of whiplash as well as more random facts floating around in my head than I thought possible, but it’s one thing to know what is coming and another thing to actually experience. But outside of the laugh/snort out loud moments and gaining of knowledge, In Bed With the Beast was all kinds of sweet, smexy and crazy and I adored every second of it.
I adored Isabelle, even when my eyes went a little cross eyed, I adored her. She may be awkward, she may be prone to spouting off random, though pertinent, information there was an honesty to her that made her extremely likeable. The fact that she owned her quirks was a huge draw, but watching her find herself and finally see how strong she could be was what made everything worthwhile.
Vincent. Beast. Vincent...No matter what you call the man, he is all kinds of growly, beastie, smexy alpha AF male goodness. His definitely has a short fuse, and there were moments were even I was like “Oh no he didn’t” but he proved time and time again just how golden his heart was. The man made me all kinds of dopey and twitterpated.
As for their journey to their HEA. It was a mish mash of adorkable, angsty, laugh out loud goodness with a dose of smexy that I didn’t expect but felt it was perfect. I loved it when they went at odds and went toe to toe as much as I loved when they were sweet and smexy. They got each other on a level that no one else could have, and one neither realized until they had both fallen hard for the other.
I have to say I really liked how the author took the various themes from the Beauty and the Beast fairytale and made them her own. Some aspects she kept, some she didn’t, and some she put her own twist on and I thoroughly enjoyed the little tweaks she made. Of the new characters we meet, Mrs. Potter is my favorite and I have no doubt she will be yours too. Catching up with Cindy and PJ was fun and then there is Ariel. Now, I wish her book, Kiss the Girl, was on the Kindle right now, I do, believe me, I do, BUT as much as I love her I know I will need to prepare for the hurricane that is Ariel, even if the themes from The Little Mermaid are followed we will still be IN her head, so the mental prep is starting now, because I NEED to find out how Eric breaks down her walls in a big, big way!
