Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Beauregard and the Beast is a thought-provoking romance by Evie Drae.
Beau, a PA, falls for his new boss, Adam, aka "The Beast. Beau's a selfless man, whose every move is driven by the need to help his sister. Lonely and miserable, together these two are able to overcome their problems.
The dichotomy of the Beast's personality, versus the real man behind the persona, Adam, is wonderfully done. Beauregard's an ass to the world, but he's actually a gentle giant. The reader is fully able to see the difference, as well as understand why this persona exists.
Their relationship involves not just allowing themselves to love someone, but also making room for one another in their lives. Beau and Adam are so damn perfect together. It's amazing the way Adam immediately opens up to Beau, and the way their friendship develops so naturally.
Their story is also about making compromises and understanding each other's needs. With a strong attraction from the starts, their relationship's full of sexual tension and physical boundaries.
The writing is fantastic, full of great characters, and a whole lot of love. Evie Drae excels in the telling of this amazing tale of finding love and grasping onto it. It's fast and short without a ton of depth. But this boss/employee, conflict of interest romance is an excellent read about finding a way to create a family and allowing themselves to be a family.
Beauregard and the Beast is a sweet and touching romance. My first read by Evie Drae, I am thoroughly impressed and am excited for more.
