I’m the beast, haven’t you heard….
Christmas is supposed to be a time for miracles and one will surely be needed when Emilia Duncan finds herself sold to the beast to save her father’s company. Having lusted after the much older, enigmatic man for as long as she can remember, spending the Christmas weekend as his submissive will satisfy her raging libido, but can she protect her heart?
Bear Shifter Hunter Monahan cannot stand idly by when Emilia is thrown to the wolves. There is only one shifter who will get his claws into her and that’s him. The contract ensures her submission for the weekend. Too bad his bear wants much more than that.
Hunter is used to hiding behind his gruesome scars, but in the bid for Emilia’s heart, that is not an option this time. Isolated in his cabin, it’s not just the snow that melts.

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Emilia Duncan comes home at Christmas time hoping to get closer to her brother and father after her mother’s death. Unfortunately, Emilia finds herself sold to a man in an effort to save her father’s company. Emilia has a great spirt and tries to make the best of this.
Hunter Monahan is a bear shifter. He is attracted to Emilia because she is his mate. Hunter is haunted by the scars that are on him and uses them to hide from everyone. He tries to remain detracted but his attraction to Emilia makes this impossible.
The connection between Hunter and Emilia is intense. I am not surprised that Emilia agreed to this, not so much to help her family, but maybe to get closer to Hunter. It seems that he fascinates her. The sex scenes were scorching hot.
I found this book well written with a distinctive plot. The pace of the book is quick. The main characters and the secondary characters were fascinating and realistic. The ending of the book was a bit predictable but the book is more about the journey to the end than the end itself. Overall, this was a very delightful book. I hope we get to see these characters again in the future.
