Hidden Beauty by Amelia Wilde
4.25

 My Review:

Hidden Beauty is the second book in the "Beast of Bishop's Landing" series and in this one we have a continuation from where the first book left off. (fair warning spoilers ahead) our hero has been injured and is in the hospital, our heroine Haley, is on the edge wanting to know if the man she has fallen hard for is alive or will even survive the attack on him. She is having to hide from her own family because choosing to be with Leo is forbidden and will most likely cost her own life in the end. Now she is having to face a difficult choice....the beast she has fallen for or the family she yearns to protect. But secrets come out between Leo and Haley, and Leo's past comes more to the surface and Haley is determined to stand by the man that she truly loves even at times when he tries to push her away from the darkness and pain that consumes him.

Hidden Beauty was definitely better than the first book, or maybe I was just getting used to this author's writing style because I couldn't put this one down. I am honestly amazed how fast I have been able to read these books. I had a blast with this one though. We have gotten past the point where they have declared their feelings and this is where we really see their relationship grow in such a delightful way. Of course there is some drama cause there is always drama in these type of retellings but its the curl your toes type of drama. But whew how it ends???? Crazy. Although I kinda predicted it would happen for one of them so I wasn't completely shocked especially if you know Beauty and Beast retellings, you just know certain scenarios that could happen with another cliffhanger coming up. But good thing....these books are all published so you can easily jump into the next one haha

Definitely had me on the edge of my seat, delighted me with the connections to the Beauty and the Beast retelling and left me yearning for more!!!
