Beast: A Dark Billionaire Romance (Once Upon A Villain) Kindle Edition

by Bianca Cole (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 253 ratings

I’m just a pawn in a game for Mexico's wealthiest, cruelest man.

Following my abduction, I find myself in the opulent home of Gaston Marques, Mexico's most feared billionaire. He's dark, he's dangerous, and he's obsessed with possessing me. I detest him and resist him, but he doesn't care. He takes what he wants, and he wants me.

But then, something shifts. In this gilded cage, I see glimpses of a different side of Gaston amidst the darkness. And against all my better judgment, I find myself drawn to him, pulled in by his magnetism. Even as I push back, I can't deny his strange and powerful attraction.

When my friends devise a daring plan to rescue me, Gaston lets me go. But there’s a twist. He follows me. He's determined to win me over in my world, a place where he's the outsider, not me. I tell him it's impossible, that we could never be. But love, especially one as twisted and intoxicating as ours, doesn't play by the rules.

Beast is the fifth book in the Once Upon a Villain Series by Bianca Cole. This dark, billionaire mafia romance explores themes that may be disturbing to some readers. No cliffhanger and a happily-ever-after ending means this book can be read as a standalone.

    What an awesome story, the beginning is so scary, the 4 girls, up for auction and treated like whores, it is an exciting book, that I couldn’t put down, and I can’t wait to start on the next book in the series……

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and steamy
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024
    First, you don't need to read all of the books prior to this to read this story. I wasn't sure how I was going to like it since it dealt with trafficking but the story flowed really well. Extremely steamy and dark in place. I was pleasantly surprised that Gaston wasn't unkind. I expected that from the description and yet this came down to two very stubborn people who met in a terrible way and loved each other anyway.

    I am concerned that it romanticizes the trafficking aspect though and that bothers me. Also that as a psych major, Blake didn't understand herself very well and had trouble working through what she wanted. I enjoyed the book and thought the ending was terrific. The author did a great job laying the foundation of the story (and the stories of the other girls) and kept you guessing as to what would happen next.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Blake & Gaston’s story
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This book is a dark mafia tale about a wealthy and powerful businessman Gaston who purchased a beautiful college woman from the Red Queen. Gaston is an Alpha Male in every way possible but he is not abusive in his caring of Blake. She pulled him in the moment he saw her. I did like that the author did not change the alphas in these two books that I have read. She held true to the storyline, plot, but let them have redeeming qualities towards their women. I believe that you really do have to read the book before this one so that you get the complete picture of what happened to four college students on spring break in Mexico. They were at the wrong place at the wrong time by the Navarro Cartel. Read On!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
    This is the 5th story in the Once Upon A Villain Series where Blake is sold to a dark possessive knight Gaston who expects to have a new slave but once their eyes meet he is taken by her and becomes more too quickly. Blake is a young college student who was taken in the previous story by the Cartel along with 3 of her friends. Gaston is a powerful man that operates in legal ways and has high expectations for Blake and she’s a woman who will push her boundaries, sometimes she enjoys the punishment and others show her more about herself then she thought possible. They both develop feelings for one another but hold back as Blake knows she’s a prisoner in a golden cage. When Blake finds herself free only to be taken by Gaston’s enemy their lives are turned upside down and along the way she discovers what’s most important in life, Love! I’m looking forward to the next story in this series…. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Have loved, loved the whole series and can’t wait for “Wolf”.
    Only complaint would be the spelling errors and missing words here and there so having to reread the sentence again when you’re dying to move on.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2024

    The stories continues with the focus shifting onto Blake, Alice's friend that was sold while in captivity. It's a story of twisted attraction, passion and fate where they undoubtedly both fall for each other and where the power shifts from him to her through their journey.
    The only thing: so many spelling and grammar mistakes in this book
