Filthy Beast: A Retelling of Beauty & the Beast (Filthy Fairy Tales Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 293 ratings

Olivia I have one chance to make my dreams come true… The only thing stopping me? The man of my dreams. Declan Hart is broken. Scarred. A beast of a man prone to giving any woman whiplash. The kind of man who holds your heart captive with a single look. He’s used to getting what he wants and tonight he wants me. In every position available. On my knees. In his mouth. Begging for more. And I’m finding it hard to say no... *** Declan My publisher won’t come to their senses, so they’ve sent an editor to babysit me in hopes that I finish this book. They failed to mention she’s a delectable morsel who hangs on my every word. Olivia Evans is the kind of sweet that makes your teeth ache. One delicious taste and I’m hooked. She’s everything thing I never knew I wanted. And her lust for words only feeds the fire between us. But I know as sweet as this beauty tastes, nothing can chase the bitter pill of failure. Olivia is vying for more than editor-of-the-year. She’s vying for my heart, but my scars run deeper than the surface. As much as I want her, this beast refuses to be tamed.

    Absolutely loved this book, a sexy, hot read. Declan Hart had it all, fame, money, beautiful women and a successful career as a famous author. But he was'nt happy with that, he felt lonely and used. Events occur and Declan retreats and becomes a reclouse, not even wanting to write any more. Olivia works for the publishing company that Declan has signed to and is assigned to find out what is holding up Declans writing, thats not all thats driving Olivia, she needs to keep her job to help pay for her dads care. Olivia at first is shunned and not wanted at Declans house, she has not even met him as he refuses, but its not until a chance meeting that they bump into one another, that they find a connection and chemistry and Declan realises that Olivia sees more to him makes him start to enjoy life again. Not to forget the burning sexy chemistry. Can Olivia help save Declan.

    Declan Hart, the cocky,selfish sexy authors life was to take on a massive downturn. Olivia(An assistant editor) is sent to LA to find out why her idol is not fulfilling his obligations as an author. He is far from what she expected. The question is can she get through to him and will he let her in. The chemistry between them is immense .This highly sexual, intense , emotional story brings inner beauty to the fore. The sex is hot,the fight is hard. This is the beauty and the beast and it brought a tear to my eye. An excellent read

    Vanessa Booke fans Nicholas and Tristan are back, okay the only have a little role in this book but I was so excited.

    This book is about Declan, he is the most arrogant, cocky, full of himself author that is one of the biggest womanizer one the plant. Well he was until karma caught up with.

    Olivia is the assistant editor working at StoneHaven Publishing assigned to work with Declan to get his book back on track after he asks for another extension to his deadline.

    Unbeknown to everyone except her boss Olivia has been editing all of Declan's books since the beginning, so she excited about getting to meet the man in person helping finish his current book. Only what she thought was going to awesome experience soon turns south as when she arrives at Hart mansions he refuses to see her.

    Encouraged by Declan's housekeeper and chef, Olivia stays in the mansion, while Declan keeps watch of what is happening through cctv all around his house. An misunderstanding leads Declan to leave the confines of upstairs and finally Olivia sees what he has been hiding. But to his shock she has the opposite reaction he was expecting leaving him to hope that all is not lost.

    Together they go on this fairy tail erotic romance, will this last or will their real lives get in the way of what could be their HEA.

    Vanessa Booke has written a beauty and the beast book, in a modern day setting. Declan is an author, suffering from writers block. He's holed up in his remote mansion, and he isn't very pleasant. Olivia is assistant to an editor, and is supposed to get Declan back on track to finish his book.

    I really didn't like Declan at the start of this book - he was a beast. I really didn't know how his character could be turned around, but Vanessa Booke managed - and she did it well. Olivia I liked right from the start - over worked, under valued, and persistent with her work.

    This story is well paced, and the characters well written. It's a fabulous take on the Beauty and the Beast story for adults - this couple definitely have chemistry and there are some hot scenes! There are also some messages about life in there too.

    This story is rammed packed full of passion and hot steaming sex. The darkness of Declan & the loneliness of Olvia dramatically entwined their souls and they both start to grow, heal and gain strength. I loved the character of Adele, superbly written giving her a motherly no-nonsense but loving personality. I read from cover to cover - there wasn't any lull in the pace so you are guaranteed a great reading experience from each page.

    First book I’ve read by this author. Wasnt sure about Declan to start with and there were a couple of times I thought I’d give up. But I’m so glad I didn’t as it was a great read. Will check out the next book.

    Reviewed in France on 2 November 2016
    Le héro était imbuvable, et il a fini dans un arbre. Défiguré par le feu qui a consumé sa voiture, il s'est retranché chez lui, et se comporte comme une vraie bête. Il a perdu sa beauté selon lui, et sa muse, puisqu'il est désormais en manque d'inspiration pour son nouveau livre qu'il doit rendre rapidement.
    L'héroïne va le chercher dans sa tanière pour lui faire finir son livre... et je ne vous en dis pas plus !
    Je ne me suis pas ennuyé une seule seconde, le héros est hot, sexy, bestial et touchant à la fois, l'héroïne n'est pas une serpillière, bref, un très bon moment de lecture.

    Reviewed in the United States on 30 July 2016
    Vanessa Books seems to come out with one amazing book after another!! Not only does she seem to master 5* there, but also with ' book boyfriends!! Just add Declan Hart to the list now... In this book, (our H) Declan is an 'erotic author. He is also, very handsome, savvy, arrogant, very rich, one of the best 'AUTHORS' - and he knows it!!! Declan on the surface looks to be, on top of the world!!! Yet, his world is not so bright - his wife left him & he lives a life of reckless choices and endless one night stands w/mean less woman. Then one irreversible and terrifying mistake alters his world - Declan has been called 'filthy beast by many, due to his behavior towards them... treating them with no regard - yet a means to an end... Yet now Beast is Mr. Hart as he hides in his mansion away from the world! Mr Hart has a contract and stonewood expects to have him uphold his end and finish the book the public has been waiting for... The CEO, Nicholas Stonewood sends the editor's assistant, ms. Olivia Evans to his home to 'get to the bottom of his "delays" Olivia gets more than she bargained for, with Mr Hart.... She she's beyond the scars (visible & non visible) these two make the word 'HOT, STEAMY, FILTHY .....sex, love, lust, excitement an entire new level!! WOW!!! LOVED this 'beauty and the beast comparison' with the 'erotic twist only V Books can bring!!! Highly recommended!!

    Vanessa is a wonderful writer and she just gets better with every book she does. This book was romantic, sweet and very hot! This is a story about not only falling in love. But about finding a love so powerful that it inspires you to not only find, but love yourself again. Can't wait for the next one!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on 20 July 2016
    Declan Hart is no my favorite Vanessa Booke bfn! He is hot AF!, writes erotic romance and is a "beast". Olivia is his perfect match and his editor. Declan has a reason for being a "beast", his life has changed since making a life altering bad decision. Olivia is sent to help him get back on track with his book but she does more than that. I look forward to the second Fairy Tales book coming out in August.
