Beneath Your Beautiful

Ruthless Creatures

De: Adaline Winters

Narrado por: Lucy Rivers, Connor Brown

Passion is a perilous game.

Honor

My ruthless husband hunts me across the country and in my dreams. If he catches me, I'll lose not only my freedom but my sanity.

I have to stay one step ahead, but he's closing in. So I keep running, straight into the arms of a man who whispers seductive promises of protection and safety.

One way or another, this race will end.

I'll risk everything for it to be at the hands of the powerful man who revels in my darkness. But should the devil get me first, then death shall be my solace.

May the best man win.

Fox

I've dedicated my entire life to protecting others—until I was betrayed.

Seeking refuge in my childhood home, I find it's been invaded by a woman with dark secrets. She believes she's too broken, too fractured to be desired, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Let the demon who terrorizes her nightmares come.

In this tangled game of cat and mouse, I'm the ultimate predator, a force both should fear.

Beneath Your Beautiful is a standalone, dual-POV dark romance featuring a bodyguard, MF romance, a hunted FMC, a possessive over-the-top grumpy hero, enemies-to-lovers, and an HEA.

This is good! Loveeeeee a strong woman, with a mean punch!

Like how he ended up dying… also love her eyes, love the voices to the characters too, they seem to fit perfectly.

Hopeful story of survival, healing, and love.

Lucy Rivers and Connor Brown bring this intense, raw, and emotionally charged story to life with powerful narration that perfectly captures the characters’ trauma, resilience, and chemistry.
It’s a dual narration.

Honor endures unimaginable abuse at the hands of her husband, Gideon, a dangerously powerful DA. Her escape from his clutches sets the stage for a gripping tale of survival, healing, and unexpected love. Along the way, Honor, now Cleo, meets Fox, a hardened ex-military bodyguard with his own troubled past. Their slow-burn romance is riddled with trust issues, explosive chemistry, and moments of tenderness.

This book isn’t just a romance—it’s a psychological exploration of healing after abuse, combined with elements of suspense, action, and steamy moments that keep you turning the pages.

4.5 stars 1.5 spice

The author does a phenomenal job writing about the heavy topic of domestic abuse. Our FMC escapes from her horrific husband, who is a well loved DA, and runs as far as she can. You feel on edge through this book through all of her struggles trying to survive and keep hidden. She finally lands with an older woman who hires her as a helpful assistant and is safe for a few months. The woman's Grandson shows up and over times falls for the FMC.

There are so many twists in this book that it really keeps you on edge. Some I had a feeling would happen and a few I thought WTF.

Would I recommend this to my mom? No. But I would recommend this to my fellow dark readers.

Wow Just Wow!!

This was a face paced day listen that was witty, full of surprises and a handful of humorous jabs at other great dark romance books !
Loved the characters even if the plot line was fairly predictable because the banter was fun. Starts dark but lightens up with plenty of spice along the way. Great narration Duet POV. Enjoyable listen !
