Dimitri Sokolov is a man scarred, physically and emotionally. From the rough streets of Moscow to the highest ranks in the Solntsevskaya Bratva, he has seen it all.
An attack four years ago left him disfigured and in seclusion, hiding from reactions to his appearance and in safety from those who failed to kill him the first time.
Comfortable in his penthouse, managing his billion dollar businesses, he's resigned himself to be alone, simply called The Beast among those who've dealt with him in the past.
Columbia Grey is a pseudo-activist trying to save her neighbourhood from a developer intent on levelling it to build apartment towers. She goes along with a plan to confront the CEO of the company on his own turf, to force him to listen to her demands...all in a pathetic attempt to impress a man she barely likes.
Little does she know, she's taken herself into the mouth of the beast, a man familiar with death and destruction, sex and seduction, a man used to getting exactly what he wants and a man with nothing left to lose.
She's a beauty, but will that be enough to tame the beast and save her life?

Read on for my review ...
I don't even know where to start. i found the story had HUGE potential but felt like it ended far to quickly. This kind of novel would have being great as a trilogy and not as a stand alone.
I found parts of the book so disturbing but i can't put my rating based on that as the author warns us before purchasing it. I took a chance to see what it was all about but what i found was so different to what i was expecting.
The reason my rating is so low is because of how the story flowed. I found the story as a whole a beginning of a story not a start, middle and end. So the ending seemed rushed to me. I didn't feel any of the anticipation you get when you don't know what's going to happen or the excitement of what is happening next.
Even the part when Columbia gets her revenge on the big bad wolf it doesn't tell us, it doesn't help us understand what drove her to that point and that moment in her life after everything she had gone through.
