Freeing the Beast
Taming the Beast #1
by Tina Donahue
Goodreads blurb: No more Mr. Nice Guy.
Magic is Becca Salt’s business, but it ain’t happening in her bedroom. The half-witch proprietress of From Crud to Stud performs miracle makeovers for paranormal creatures. Once she’s done with them, they’re out the door hunting for hot babes, not hanging around for a too-curvy, plain Jane like her.
Her newest client is hot, hung, mouthwatering perfection. What could she possibly improve upon?
Eric Diletto. Descendant of Cupid, bred for courtship, courtesy, and all that other gentlemanly junk. What has it gotten him? Dumped time and again for bad boys. He needs Becca’s help for an entirely different reason—regression therapy to release his inner beast. Grrrr.
Two potions later, they’re crawling all over each other. Becca aches for a man who loves her as she is, not because he’s under the influence. But Eric isn’t as impaired as she thinks. And he intends to take Becca here, there, and everywhere—anything to convince her his desire isn’t just the potions talking.
Warning: A witchdoctor’s nightmare. Contains potions with weird side effects, a sorceress with limited magical skills and a yearning heart, plus a minor god who wants to get down and dirty. Bad, bad boy!

My Thoughts - 3 out of 5
Unicorns - I liked it!!!
***Received a copy of the ebook for
an honest review
The
cover is pretty, but they made it like she wasn’t a real red head with the hair
color and her eyebrows. While it mildly
hints at paranormal, nothing grabs my attention.
This
is about 150 pages which I think is considered a novella, but I’m not sure
where the cutoff is. This is an adult
only book at there are some very steamy scenes.
I
liked this book, but it did not have the action I was hoping would be mixed
in. It is the drama of dating when you
have baggage from your past. I liked
Becca and Eric, but I think I found it easier to connect with her friends. I do sometimes have trouble connecting in the
first book in a series, and I think I will definitely read book 2 to see where
the series goes and what happens next :)
Tina
does a fabulous job in her writing and is an easy read. This is my first time reading her work, so I
will definitely be checking out more in the future of her paranormal work :)
I
recommend this book to romance readers who love the drama involved with dating
and the baggage they bring with them :)
Interested in reading???
