Goodreads Synopsis:
Cavo is a hideous
monster with a pure heart. Liam, on the other hand, might look like the
perfect gentleman, but he's a beast on the inside, and he has an
eccentric personality to boot. When Cavo rescues Liam from an
unfortunate situation in the forest, the paths of the monster and the
beast cross for the first time. Will their meeting be a fleeting
encounter or a timeless entanglement? And will Liam succeed in leading
the innocent Cavo astray?
Review:
We meet Liam as he's being attacked by some men in the woods, and
Cavo comes and saves him. But we quickly discover that Liam had
agreed on a trip with those men and now doesn't know which way is
out, and that he's familiar with using his body to get what he wants
and to get affection.
I was intrigued at the first idea of a Beauty and the Beast take with
a gay relationship. I'm a little disappointed with how this pans out,
though.
Liam is definitely the monster of the relationship, despite being a
handsome gentlemen. Cavo is a “terrifying creature”, and yet he's
gentle and sweet, and simply wants to stay by Liam's side. How Liam
treats Cavo with so much uncare, and even disdain at times, really
puts me off. He seems to humor Cavo at times to let him come along
with him, but he doesn't act with any real kindness or affection
toward him.
The ending makes me think there'll be a little twist thrown in next,
but I don't know if I'm all that interested. I liked Cavo enough, but
I really didn't like Liam, and I didn't really get the chemistry
between them, either.
