Publisher Description
I kill people for a living. If they're lucky, I only have to rough them up. It's rare they're lucky.
I know I work for a tyrant. Anyone who has the misfortune of getting on George Lynch's bad side should know their days are numbered. I'm the gun in his holster, the one he draws to take care of 'problems'. The one he uses so he doesn't have to get his hands dirty.
George saved me from a life of crime that would have landed me in jail. Now I commit even worse crimes that would earn me the death penalty if I ever got caught. George has me under his thumb. I guess we're both lucky that I never get tired of killing.
That's why I don't understand why he assigned me this little project. Kidnap a girl and keep her locked away in one of his houses with all the creature comforts like some pampered pet.
The job was supposed to be easy. Kendall was supposed to be a submissive little mouse. I thought she would obey my every command.
I was wrong.
Now I'm caught up in something that could cost me everything. Having to choose between love and my very life. Is it even worth it? Because who could ever love a beast?
This is a standalone story with no cheating and a happily ever after ending.

Beast is a Standalone by Sky Corgan.
♥ Story ♥
Beast is packed with action! The hero and heroine are both strong resourceful individuals. It’s a fresh take on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.
Sky Corgan is normally known for her more racier reads, but this one is more action than spice. If you don’t like hot sex and dirty talk you can just skip chapter 8, and you should be good.
Dyson Fidler is a hitman. His current job is to acquire the daughter of renowned scientist and keep her hidden in a secure hideout in the middle of no where. Obtaining his target was easy. Maintaining her is proving to be difficult. Avoiding falling in love is impossible.
The Beast has problems because his boss will not accept failure. It could comes down to his life or Kendall’s, and he knows he won’t be able to end hers.
In true beauty and the beast fashion (Belle) Kendall’s father is most times lost in his inventions, except this one is actually a success! Everyone wants to get their hands on it, and some are willing to go to ANY measure to get it. Kendall and her father flee to a remote hideaway, but not remote enough to stop the Beast.
In the hands of the Beast, she doesn’t cower. She is determined to rescue herself. She isn’t without honor though. When he comes to her rescue, she can’t leave him to die, and thus begins their true story.
I love the use of modern day science to tell this adaptation of a classic fairy tale. It makes the story more real. The sexy fun times in the middle make it even better. The new twists keep it fresh and make it a great listen.

Not as sexy of a listen by Sky Corgan as some of her other titles but it was still Hot! In exchange for some of the heat we get more action.
♥ Narrator(s) ♥
Nathan Glondys was excellent. He performed both male and female characters well. He also managed to give side characters their own unique voice too.
