Each book that is set in Hearts Edge just gets better and better. The chemistry between Leo and Clarissa were so hot. They were a couple when they were younger and due to some very unfortunate circumstances, they were torn apart. 8 years have passed since the last time they saw each other and things have changed. They are brought back together because of a tragedy and now they have to work together to get to the bottom and save her sister. This story was so good. It was fast paced with plenty of action, drama and romance. It will keep you on the edge of your seats as you are reading it. You won’t want to put it down.

I enjoy Nicole Snow books. Each one that I’ve read has great characters and writing. No Broken Beast is no different. This book is full of suspense and mystery that will cause you to hold your breath.
The story is written in dual POVs of Leo (Nine) and Clarissa who were torn apart when tragedy struck. Clarissa ran away with her sister Deanna with the goal of never returning to Heart’s Edge. Until eight years later when she’s forced to return…with her son Zach in tow. The reader is taken through a series of clues to help find a missing Deanna. Leo and Clarissa also have flashbacks throughout the story which help solidify the story and creates more understanding for the reader. The bad guys of this story were hateable…and that’s being nice. This is an adult read due to adult scenes. There is violence and references to child kidnapping, abuse, torture and neglect. The adult language is not overwhelming.
I enjoyed this book. I did not realize that it was part of a series and I didn’t feel as though I was missing out on anything while reading. I will definitely read the other Heart’s Edge books. I am confident I will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed this read. Like any true standalone, you won’t feel as though you are missing anything, but reading previous books that are connected may give you insight on other characters. 4.5 stars
I received a free copy of this book from BookSprout in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.
I volunteered to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book was amazingly written! I loved Nine & Clarissa’s story. It was very interesting, had a lot of action, love story, basically everything you could want in a book! The characters were well written, great storyline. I enjoyed reading this book,I actually couldn’t put it down and was sad to see it end!
I’ve been waiting for the story of Nine, the Monster aka Leo, who lives on the outskirts of Heart’s Edge in the forest, hiding and watching over the small town. A town that is scared of the monster, not knowing the full truth of who he really is and what he sacrificed for them. Years ago when he was trying to protect his love, Clarissa, he ends up saving Clarissa from her father, the mayor, and destroys a lab that cultivates evil. Now years later Clarissa is back in town with her son, Zach, because her sister has been kidnapped and she needs to find her. But during her investigation she finds something else, someone else….
A great read with steam, suspense, heartache, heartbreak, secrets revealed and past characters all uniting to take down an evil corporation. I LOVED Leo the Lion, he was fierce, a super human with a heart of gold, and even though scarred on the outside and in, still beautiful. The intensity between the two stood out and the story was told in present time but also the past, revealing what happened years ago. Clarissa was back and forth for me, she was timid and not really strong in my eyes, running away and then turning brave at the worst times. Clarissa wasn’t the strong heroine I thought she would be till near the end but Leo and Zach made up for it and the reason why I couldn’t give it less than 5 stars.

What an amazing story. I really liked Leo(Nine) and Clarissa. And you can never go wrong with an adorable child added into the story. This story captured me from the very beginning. From finding out what happened in their past to the danger and suspense they were facing currently. The chemistry between them seems as if it never really went away. This is a great addition to the Heart’s Edge stories. Loved it!

I have to repeat myself:
THIS SERIES GETS EVEN BETTER WITH EVERY NEW BOOK!!!!
I didn’t hold my breath only once while reading Clarissa and Nine’s story…. be it because of the tension, which is at a high level throughout the book, be it because of the passionate moments between the two main characters.
FINALLY, in this book we learn more about Nine and his secrets, after he kept himself in the background like a ghost throughout the series…. always present, but not really tangible….
His story is heartbreaking and tragic. He is a broken man on so many levels…. and yet I would trust him with my life. To say that I have fallen in love with this character would be the understatement of the year…..
And Clarissa? Let’s just say she’s a tough cookie who fights like a tigress for her loved ones…..
Saying the plot is twisted would be the next understatement of the year. You really need to read this book yourself in order to experience the depth of the characters and their emotions and scars due to their past, and to fully experience the suspense and the wicked ways Ms. Snow torments her readers with…
Well, I won’t say any more besides this: This book is totally something else and the latest masterpiece of this phenomenal author!
A very well written and must read story. It has everything like excitement, intrigue, surprises, drama, suspense, secrets, deep emotions and so much more. She returns home because of a break in and finds her sister missing. He is what they call a beast. A hide in the background protector. There is so much more to the story. I recommend highly reading it. I couldn’t put it down and will be reading it again. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Nicole Snow does mystery murder romance to the maximum in Nine and Clarissa’s story bringing us the past to the present in a terrifying, heart racing, mind twister and yet gives us a love that never died with all of the feelings that break your heart and mends it in one fell swoop. LOVED it!!!
Love, love, love! Nicole Snow books. Have read them all!
If Doc Caldwell was the protector of Heart’s Edge secrets then Leo “Nine” Regis is its guardian in the shadows. No Broken Beast is by far the most intense and suspenseful of the Heroes of Heart’s Edge series. I sat on the edge of my seat at times in anticipation of what would happen next. My heart broke for the intelligent, caring man who has been reduced to living in the shadows and for the time he lost with the only woman he’s ever loved.
Leo was abused mentally, emotionally and physically throughout most of his life by the sinister Galentron Corporation, turned into a super soldier and finally becoming a wanted man. Living off the grid, out of view and behind a mask Leo considers himself a m9nster. Clarissa Bell and her sister Deanna left Heart’s Edge after the death of their father. Rissa had to leave behind the love of her life. Now she’s back because her sister is missing. Coming face to face with Leo is surprising but she know this man, his heart and his courage. He’s determined to find her sister before it’s too late. She vows to reveal the secret she’s kept for eight years.
I started reading this series through ARCs, when I had a review site, and I keep going back for more. This book gives a HEA to one of the most tragic characters in the small town’s dark history, and it will knock your socks right off.
This is a KU series. Loved all the puzzles in this one! I read this series out of order, so its nice to finally understand the chunk I was missing!! Leo and Clarissa worked really hard for their happily ever after, but it was a really cute ending! Happy Reading!
Leo was a soldier but now is known as Nine (you need to read this story to find out why…) But Clarissa has always loved Nine and it broke her heart when she had to flee her home to protect herself. But with her sister missing, she knows she has to return home. Meanwhile Nine has been in hiding. When he learns Clarissa has returned, he comes out of hiding to protect her. Loved this story with its suspense and drama. Definitely the best out of the three books for me.

I bought this book because of the”great” reviews and couldn’t wait to read it. The plot was stupid and I felt no connection to the characters at all. I tried, I really did but I ended up forcing myself to finish reading it.
Absolutely loved this book.
Wow I want Ninw for myself.
This was one hot, steamy and action packed book.
Loved how Leo cleared his name and got the happy ending he never thought he would. Loved how much Rissa stood by him no matter what and had always loved him.
This was a beautiful power packed storyline which included our favourite characters from Hearts Edge all coming together again to help Leo and save their town.
Clarissa comes back to Heart’s Edge t look for her sister. She doesn’t have any good memories of this place and heartbreak is about everywhere she looks. Leo aka Nine has been living on the down low where no one would find him but he tries to help the town when he can. Even though they don’t see him as the protector he is. Will Clarissa find her sister? Can Leo and Clarissa finally get their happy ending?
This is an amazing story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Leo and Clarissa had history that went bad so Clarissa ran away to start over. Leo nicknamed Nine kept to himself he hides in the shadow, until he sees her again. It was hot and heavy, and emotions that makes you want more.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.
