Publisher's summary

Narrated in duet by Bridget Bordeaux and Troy Duran

What if the Beast took the girl of his dreams AND the man who was desperate to claim her, and used them to act out his every fantasy...

The witch’s wrath has left me isolated, broken.
A Beast unable to even touch another living soul without ruining them.
My only solace comes from watching the one I’ve fallen in love with from afar. Fleur.
She’s beautiful, spirited, and everything I desire. I can’t give her what she needs, but there’s one in the village who can…
Gabriel is tall, strong, and handsome—all things I once was. As my days grow lonelier, I accept that I need them—both of them.
They’ll act out every dark, twisted fantasy my monstrous form prevents me from participating in.
And with any luck, they’ll grow to enjoy their new prison.
But the closer we become, the more the roses wither and die. The castle is changing. The curse exacts a greater toll each day.
Unless… Is it possible Fleur is meant for more than satiating my most carnal needs?
Could she be the one to break the spell?
Or is it too impossible for anyone to love a Beast?

What a Perfectly Unique Take On Beauty and the Beast!

This audiobook was a perfectly unexpected retelling of Beauty and the Beast. We get Belle, the Beast, and Gaston, and I absolutely have to say that Violet Taylor will be an auto-buy author for me from here on out.

I absolutely devoured this book and cannot wait for more from Violet!

Well well 🥵

Let me tell you. I don’t usually go for retelling or books loosely based off another story. BUT THIS! I love this book so much. Right off the bat with the spice!

I will be honest, I started out a little rough and took me a couple of chapters to get into, hence the 4 stars. Though I am so happy I stick with it. Violet takes you for ride of emotions both up and down and super spicy.

Troy and Bridget did an amazing job bringing this story alive and making you almost feel like YOU are living in it. I don’t think there could have been a better female narrator to voice Fleur. I absolutely love Bridget and the bad @$$dry she brought to the table.

Beauty, Beast, AND Gaston

The Wrath of Roses- Violet Taylor
Narrated by Troy Duran and Bridget Bordeaux

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

The emotions this book brought out of me was completely unexpected. We all know the story of Beauty and the Beast and this reimagining is probably as close to the original as you can get yet at the same time there’s the added dynamic of adding Gabriel, the Gaston of this story, added into Fleur (Belle) and the Beast’s relationship. Just like the original, I did NOT like Gabriel. I kept hoping that it would be true to the original that the Beast would end up killing him, I just did not see a redemption arc for him, but I will say the ending honestly surprised me and my reaction to what happened surprised me just as much. I don’t want to say too much and give anything away, but the ending alone was everything!

Troy and Bridget did a phenomenal job on this narration. Troy is one of my favorites and he had the perfect low growly voice to portray the Beast. And Bridget was perfect to voice Fleur. She always does such an incredible job.

Adult beauty & the beast retelling with a few unique twists!

I have to say Alaine McDaniel’s review sums up my feelings for this book. Troy & Bridget’s narration was fantastic. I can’t wait to see what other stories Violet has planned for this series.

Ohh to be Fleur

Listen.. we all know the original fairy tale, but what a delicious and filthy story Violet Taylor created. Sexy, violent and somewhat fresh story. I was surprised in the best way. Troy and Bridged were AMAZING with their portray of the characters! Troy's deep and distinctive 'beast' voice and Bridge's silky and sensual timber - wonderful combo!

There's no need to describe the plot. Just get comfy and listen to this audiobook, because it will make you feel all kinds of emotions. *wink wink

Very dirty retelling

Wow! I didn’t think I would like a “Gaston” man sharing the “Beast” with “Belle”. But this was fun, steamy, kind of original fairytale retelling, and did I mention steamy?!! I loved the direction of the story that Violet took us! I’m happy there wasn’t the Whole house coming to life like the cartoon. Just enough characters to keep it like the original. I also liked the fact that he didn’t fully turn back to human. Just enough cuz of the separation of his heart! Which *swoooon* that was super cute! Also! The boys?!!! Gah! I loved this retelling!

Holy Cow!

Troy Duran’s voice was made for dark fairy tales! He dominated this book so much as the beast and Gabriel! This was magical! And my sweet Bridget! Your voice is seriously everything! I don’t think anyone but you could have brought Fleur to life! You were spellbinding!!

This story was HOTT!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
