Publisher's Summary

Grady Williams is a national treasure, the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, America's scarred superhero. With tattooed arms sculpted from carrying M-16s, this bad boy has girls begging from sea to shining sea to get a piece of his action.

When my father squanders away my college fund, I make a deal with this dirty-talking devil dog - I will pretend to be Grady's girlfriend for the Marine Corps Ball, and my dad will write Grady's war memoir.

Grady is fearless. Hell, this badass jumped on a grenade to save his fellow Marines! As much as I crave him, I refuse to allow myself to become addicted to a dangerous man who will detonate my heart.

Isabella Cuesta is an angel who can see beyond my mangled skin, a pawn used to repay her father's debt, a woman who makes me feel like a man instead of a monster.

But I no longer believe in fairy tales.

She's mine until our contract ends. I'll take her hard and rough, listen to all her hopes and fears, lay down my life to protect her.

This beauty will never let herself love a dangerous man like me - a man who has killed, a man who runs towards gunfire, a man who never backs down from a fight.

But without her love, I'm not a man - I'll remain forever a beast.

Publisher's note: This is a full-length, standalone novel. HEA. No cliffhanger. No cheating.

I wanted more!!!

I LOOOVED BEAST!! This sweet, heartbreaking story of love, despair, trust and hope tore at my heart strings and also gave me achy feels!! I couldn't get enough of this highly addictive story which had me spellbound from the very first chapter!I loved Grady and Isa, and my heart shattered into pieces for their tormented pasts. Alana Albertson is a new author for me and I will definitely listen to her books again. 4.5 "beauty is within" stars!!

Aaron Shedlock's raspy southern drawl gave me shivers in this audiobook!! Hot damn!! His voice was SMOKIN HOTTTT!!! Sonja Field was amazing as Isa, and I LOOVED that it was a proper dual narration where both narrators interacted in the same scenes!!

intense story

first time listen to this author and I was impressed by the writing. the plotline was filled with emotion the sad of the H and the haunting need of the h.
ptsd is such a real and wrenching reality and the author handled it delicately. although the ups and downs of the emotions got a bit frustrating as it took a long time for Grady to come round. Isa definitely knew what it was to fight.
the steam was definitely steam and as the story neared the end it kinda sped up a bit and Grady did seem to fold.
a few things confused me a bit. the scene with hulk...he was in green body paint.. (no spoilers)
his triggers seemed to dissipate a bit even though he still hadn't had a lot of treatment and the money problems seemed to fade into the background.
I normally wouldn't worry but the intensity of the story made me want the author to dot the I and cross the t.
I'm not a real fan of fickle push pull stories it frustrates me but I persisted with this one due to its intention.
loved the narration, girl for girl voices and guy for guy voices.
Aaron Shedlock is awesome and sonja did really well.

lovely story

this story was well written, the characters felt real, and i was amazed at how easy it was to get lost the story line.
