Beast: An MM Mafia Romance Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 662 ratings

Taking a job at an infamous club run by gangsters is certainly dangerous, but the money is too good for Noel Bradley to say no.

After confronting his boyfriend's infidelity, a single night of poor decision making has cost Noel his job, his education, and his future. He's desperate to get his life back, but he needs a steady paycheck to make that happen. Having to wear tight spandex briefs and getting groped nightly isn't his idea of fun, but he cannot deny how well it pays.

Everything is finally looking up...

Until Noel accidentally draws the attention of the club's owner, the Beast.

Barrett Armstrong is a merciless man with a legendary temper who always gets what he wants. When he chooses Noel as his next conquest, Noel is faced with bargaining away his body to appease him. He soon finds himself pulled into Barrett's dangerously violent world and has to confront his own beastly urges to survive. Barrett is determined to claim Noel as his own and give him something that he never even knew he needed: A Daddy.

Beast is part of the Ruthless Daddies multi-author collab and a complete standalone. Expect to find a criminal Daddy, a tough boy, high steam, and some dark mafia themes. Want more deliciously morally gray Daddies and boys? Grab the whole series!

    What a wonderful story. Really enjoyed this read. I absolutely love the dogs, and their antics had me laughing. It was a very nice touch! Being a dog lover I completely understand. I wish the authors wrote more like this one.

    So this books isn’t bad, but it definitely has its flaws.
    First of all, the plot. It’s very simple. Honestly, the yearning is short lived, so everything’s just like “this is how it is and that’s how it’s gonna be”. There’s some foreshadowing, but it’s very exaggerated so you kind of already know what’s going to happen.
    I’m not a fan of the writing style. Everything feels super dramatically written, yet the plot is very one note.
    Overall, Barrett is just a teddy bear daddy and Noel is a mischievous, naughty bottom. I went into this expecting Barrett to be more mysterious, cold and Noel more to be a nervous wreck who yearns for a protector. Obviously it didn’t turn out that way, but that’s just how the author wrote them.

    The Beast & his little magnolia!! Omg the details on this book were *chefs kiss* especially when it came down to the Spicy scene… holy guacamole when I tell you the pages were steamin I MEAN that 100%

    It all started with a spilled drink on the boss… Noel is down on his luck cheating P.O.S of an ex, car injury, loss of job.. safe to say Noel was going through it then an opportunity presented itself and he couldn’t say no.. so now he’s a cocktail waiter at a gentleman’s area know as “William” ( all thanks to his neighbor) serving drinks and getting paid Noel thought he couldn’t complain.. Barrett is known as “the beast” and what the beast wants he gets! After a crazy turn of events Noel is to serve Barrett his two drinks and move on… well fate is a tricky thing and works it’s magic for the better when it comes to these two unlikely pair!!

    Not only do these two actually make sense together but Noel just might surprise you in what he’s really capable of when it comes to HIS Beast!!

    -Happy Reading Bookworms

    Feels: Fun and enjoyable, had a smile on my face the whole time
    Drama: Not really
    Heat: 4/5
    Characters: Barrett may be a beast to the rest of the world, but a marshmallow for his hysterical dogs and sweet, adorable Noel
    Pacing: Fast
    Length: Just right
    Ending: HEA with a great ‘little’ twist!

    Through a series of unfortunate events, Noel ends up working at an exotic dance club as a waiter. He makes good money and manages to avoid the criminal owner everyone is afraid of, until he isn't. One night leads to more, and Noel becomes possessive over the mob boss and the once shy former accounting major discovers he has a hidden dark side...one who has anger issues.

    Beast is stunned when he finds his adorable magnolia covered in blood. He hadn't been so sure about Noel's intentions towards him, something I thought Noel was too forgiving of given his history. But Noel's actions eventually convince Beast that his feelings are real.

    This was a bit too sweet, stabbings aside. I liked Noel but didn't like the constant lying from Beast. How was Noel supposed to tell when Beast was being honest about his feelings if he was that convincing? I would have made him work harder for it. I didn't care for this as much as the Cold Hard Cash series but it's worth a read if you're looking for the gruff outside and marshmallow imside for that one special someone.

    So the cast of characters in this book are Barrett, a mobster known as the Beast, and owner of a club called the William. Noel, known as little magnolia by Barrett, and a virgin waiter just out of debt, thanks to Rue, Noel's neighbor and bartender at the William. Jinx, pole dancer who wants Barrett to be his daddy but Barrett ends up choosing Noel instead. Their lives are intertwined with jealousy, greed, sex and bloodshed. For me, the perfect mixture of hurt/comfort. I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the series and highly recommend it. I loved Noel's Mississippi accent and how he was able to tame the Beast. He turned out to be a firecracker and always had Barrett's back unlike everyone else who only used Barrett. Oh and you can't forget, Brutus, Sasha, and Roz, the most protective and cuddliest dogs ever.

    Daddy/Boy dynamic is not for me. This is definitely a me problem and not reflective of the authors, however I felt it was laid on VERY THICK in this book. At times I felt like Barrett spoke to Noel more like one of his dogs (with dog like commands) than a person.

    Noel’s 180 personality adjustment was strange to me, especially after sleeping together one night and after dodging Barrett for 2 months RELIGIOUSLY.

    I did like the plot and how Noel was able to help Barrett. I also liked how they got ‘revenge’ on Noel’s ex because I’m super petty.

    If Daddy/boy is your thing, you would probably like this book and I recommend it to you.

    A wonderful, exciting and sexy read, and I mean SEXY!!! This author got me on this kind of story with their Cold Hard Cash series, before that I never knew I'd love the mafia type gangs and shoot outs, so if you have an hesitations about this kind of setting then give this author a try, you'll love it. Actually Barrett reminds me of Boss Cold in many ways, this author certainly knows how to rock your boat!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite enough for five stars
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2024
    This one began most hopefully for me out of all the books in the series so far - not in the sense of the storyline, but the quality of writing. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for big beastly men and damsel-in-distress types. Oh my god, I hope not.

    One thing I can't get over though, is Noel's sudden bloodlust. Sure, that could be a convincing enough storyline, but the way it was executed didn't convince me of the sudden change. Also, it was very obvious from the beginning who has been stealing the money and for what reason. It's like the authors kept emphasising the hints, over and over again.

    It was an alright book, but by the end it was all dragged out. It should have finished three or four chapters early.

    Reviewed in Australia on September 18, 2023
    Okay it's a totally awesome story by KL Hiers who is completely trustworthy to deliver a stonking hawt story and they do. This has pets playing a large role and it was so stinking cute. They stole the show. Ok .. just to be clear there is no icky human animal action just sweet doggos being their doggy selves.

    The writing was great with some good plotting which made for an excellent satisfying read.

    Wasn't sure if it was an Easter egg or not but the bad mafia enemy family is the Morelli's who star in Leighton Greenes excellent Mafia series. I enjoyed pretending it was a crossover...
