Can anyone control the Beast?The Woman – Xavia Jones, a zoologist with a focus on evolution is only on planet Eden for two days before one of her Edenists is exiled from his city. Furious over the injustice of his banishment, she stows away with him. But once outside the walls of Tolba, in a jungle filled with criminals and a beast she could never have imagined, she’s having second thoughts.The … thoughts.
The Man – Lyka feels the weight of responsibility for Xavia’s safety and despite believing she’d be better back in the city with the brothers of his heart, he’s honored that she’s with him. Now he just has to convince his old friend and long-time exile, Davos, that keeping her with them is best for everyone. As far as he’s concerned, only the beast can protect her.
The Beast – Davos blames himself for every Kindred of Eden being exiled from Tolba. It was his lack of control over the Beast that caused the city to distrust his Kindred. Now he must ensure they all survive in his jungle home. It is a hard life for a man and no place for a woman. A woman will cause disruption and chaos. A woman will release the Beast.

I loved to hate Davos and how stubborn he was hahahah but this was an awesome book, although I kept thinking about it at work while I should have been working!! Needless to say, I couldn’t put it down!
“I have never been so at peace as I am right now, knowing you love me.”
Scientist/zoologist/discoverist, Xavia Jones is invited to world full of men searching for their Chosen One. Eden is a paradise to the ever questioning mind of Xavia. Her inquisitive nature is fascinated by a planet full of verra sexy and verra naked men. (Yes, you read that right! It’s Eden, so why have clothes?) With men outnumbering the women, it allows for a more the merrier coupling. (Yup! Read that right too! This is a ménage lover’s dream come true!) Xavia is asked to join a group of three Edenists, but when one of her group is exiled outside the walls of the community of Tolba, the injustice behind it causes Xavia to follow him out into the jungle…into the unknown.
Lyka is both shocked with concern and overwhelmed with love that Xavia has chosen to join him in exile. But the unknown that lies outside the safety of the walls of Tolba is enough to cause Lyka to use his Kindred of Eden powers and shield Xavia’s presence from others. But there is one she cannot be shielded from…the Beast.
Davos, feared for his shifter abilities, was exiled in his youth. Always alone even in a crowd, he’s become both provider and protector for the residents of Una. Una has become a home and haven for those that share the Kindred of Eden ability. When he recognizes his dearest friend from childhood, Lyka, he’s caught up in memories, both good and bad. But when he catches a scent of flowers and a woman, the Beast within recognizes that which could finally bring them peace.
Xavia and Lyka see Davos’ longing for love, but will the Beast be too much for them to form a true bond, or will it be last piece of the puzzle that connects and makes three become one.
Lexi Post has created a mystical world where lovers care deeply for their beloved as well as each other. To live each day discovering new wonders and finding love is just the type of story I’ll never tire of reading. Highly recommend Lexi Post’s Beast of Eden! While this is part of her Eden series, it may be read stand alone, but Reader be warned, it will make you want to go back and read the other stories in the series!
Wow! We have moved from Naralina to another city on Eden to find more drama from the normally peace-loving residents of Eden. You can read the blurbs on what this is about. I will say that although I am not normally a Sci-Fi reader, Ms. Post writes a helluva story and this entire series has enchanted me. I am drawn into the world of wonderful characters and the conflicts they live. Eden is an interesting world and I want to know more about it! I found that once I started this book, I had an extremely difficult time putting it down. Another winner!
Lexi knows how much the I love the Eden series and when I saw this was coming out boy I did a boogie dance. Lexi was the first Paranormal book I read and I was hooked from the start. Xavia is a lot like me has to stay busy and loves the outside. Boy she had her hands full with Davos. He was so hard headed and guarded I didn’t think she would be able to break the ice in his heart but she sure swoon him. Now Lyka he stole my heart right away. He was such a big teddy bear and he was always making sure Xavia needs was met.
This author has created a complex mystical world where lovers can be together & bond but there are some deep undercurrents of dissatisfaction. I found this book quite interesting & really enjoyed reading it. The characters are well-developed with individual personalities and have realistic & believable emotional feelings & reactions, while going through various trials & tribulations. The story-line and plot is intriguing, well-thought out and written, it makes the reader wait with great anticipation for the next book in the series.
