Phenomenal Book!
Wow, this was a fabulous book! It has every element of emotions, pain, anguish, heartbreak, danger and secrets just to name a few. The author has developed her characters so well, I felt like I could see them and feel the pain and love they were experiencing. It kept me on the edge the entire time, couldn’t wait to see how it would end. Read it today.
Every since I had a taste of this author’s writing in her novels I jump into any I come across it seems. In this one we follow Nine and Clarissa in their journey. This is also I would term a second chance which I fall for alot. Being torn apart once I do not think anymore would anyone survive. When this time the road starts one way but slowly goes another you are pulled to the edge. The suspense is a big plus in here for me I love when it is mixed in. When it is true and deep it can only grow larger. This had me to flipping these pages until I knew for sure where it lands.
Absolutely an amazing read that I didn’t want too put down. I couldn’t wait too read Nine’s story and I had no doubt that I was absolutely going too love it. Secrets in a small town will always come out and that’s exactly what happens. Rissa and Leo are perfection together and Zach is so, so sweet. I really great story with great characters that everyone must read.
This beautifully written story draws you in from page one. Leo and Clarissa have a past before they were torn apart. They both have secrets but she is in town looking for her sister and Leo is the only one that can help. Will the secrets she is with holding cause a further tear between her and Leo and will she lose her heart again? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Heart’s Edge revisited once again and this time to focus on Nine and his story his love for Clarissa who loved him too but was forced to flee town years ago after an unfortunate incident. Clarissa only returns to find out what happened to her sister Deanna who went missing from their candy store. Clarissa and her son Zach check in to a local inn so Clarissa can find her sister. Nine, real name Leo, emerges from his hideout to help in the hunt. Although Nine is called a Monster he is a good man, a caring man, a protective man and he will not let Clarissa do this on her own. This book will hold your attention from beginning to end.
This is by far my favorite Nicole Snow book of the year. I’ve loved watching this author grow. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
No Broken Beast is another amazing story written by the talented author Nicole Snow. I read this in less than 3 hours, couldn’t put the book down until finished. I really enjoyed reading about Clarissa and Leo (aka Nine), it’s a stand alone romance novel with a Happily Ever After. NO Spoilers!! I can’t wait to read her next story, it’s always better than her last book.
Unputdowanable! Just when you think Hearts Edge has no more secrets, Ms. Snow, gives us another doozy of a story. While there was a play on the classic Beauty and the Beast, this book is its own unique and very creative story. No one writes anti-heroes as well as this author, Leo is one you will fall and root for. Clarissa is a strong and very likable heroine, their son Zach, will give you more reason for wanting their HEA.
“I Voluntarily Received and Reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book”.
NINE IS NO MONSTER!!!
I have loved all of the Nicole Snow’s Heroes of Hearts Edge books, but I have been waiting for Nine’s book for quite awhile….Scarred, and living in the woods, Leo/Nine is the town’s outcast/fugitive and one of the most fascinating characters in this series, and I have been crushing on him since he first appeared on the scene…I wanted his story..
Clarissa and Leo have a history, but she left town, and she’s been gone about eight years…When her sister goes missing, Clarissa comes home to Heart’s Edge, to help find her, and she brings a surprise, especially for Leo, with her…
I realły liked NO BROKEN BEAST, and I’m in love with Leo… He and Clarissa have great chemistry, and Nicole Snow knows how to tell a story and tie up loose ends This book answers all the questions I’ve had throughout the Heart’s Edge series and gives us lots of history of Heart’s Edge, of Leo and Clarissa’s past relationship, of Leo’s childhood, of Galentron, his time as a Nighthawk…and the fire….It’s a good book…
4.5 Stars!
Leo’s story was on my highly anticipated list because we have caught glimpses of him in previous books and he has always eluded to the key to the mystery that surrounds Hearts Edge. Going in knowing that his story is dark and tragic made me hopeful for vindication, what I got was so much more. Clarissa was dealt her own hand of cruelty and darkness, but she was able to run away and make a way for herself, become stronger and protect the ones she loves; until she is forced back. Reliving memories was hard for Leo and Clarissa, but the chemistry between them was undeniable. I enjoyed watching Leo start to return to himself with the support of amazing characters. I continue to enjoy the balance of mystery, sexiness, humor, darkness and romance that this Author brings to a book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Wow 10 stars for great writing . Clarrissa bell gets a call after speaking to her sister Deanna telling her that her sister is missing so to find her she has to go back to hearts edge and ask the one man for help that she has been hiding a secret from for 8 years as he has been the legend of nine . Now all the secrets of hearts edge and galentron terror is out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Leo and Clarissa’s story is going to give you all the feels you can handle. I fell completely in love with these two and my heart ached for them. The enticing storyline will quickly have you snared with its complex web of secrets, tragedy, drama, evil, corruption, twists, danger, tension, mystery, suspense and romance. Such a great read!!
I’ve been a long time reader of Nicole’s, there’s been everything from MCs to princes to exiled hunks living in the wild – and I’ve loved them all!
If you have read the last few books of Nicole’s then you would’ve read about Nine (if you haven’t then go back – excellent story’s!) Anyway, Nine has been exiled and is living on the outside of Hearts edge, he saved the town 7/8 years ago but they don’t know that, they think he’s a monster….
Rissa comes back to town looking for her sister and also has something belonging to Nine/Leo…..
An exciting, emotional, passionate story – brilliant!
Oh….and as much as I think Fuscias a witch – I defo want her story!!!!!!
This story is absolutely phenomenal!! I loved everything from start to finish and I’m beyond thrilled to have Leo’s story.
Nine has been in hiding for eight years, ever since that fateful night in Heart’s Edge. When his past comes back into town looking for answers he can’t help being drawn back to her but she has a secret of her own.
Grab your hard hat and hang on to your heart!
To say that Clarissa and Leo have unfinished business is like saying the ocean’s a little wet. Clarissa’s return to Heart’s Edge is ensured by the kidnapping of her sister, Deanna, and her inevitable run-in with the man she left behind starts a chain reaction that nearly destroys the entire town before justice is served and their HEA is secured.
The mystery surrounding Galentron that started in No Good Doctor is brought to a stunning conclusion as all the secrets are spectacularly revealed. Throughout all the action and suspense, Leo and Clarissa’s love shines as brightly as ever, despite all the unanswered questions throughout the years. Leo is a beast in every best sense of the word, and Clarissa is the beauty who sees right past all the protective layers right down to the hero he’s always been.
Separated by events they had no control over, Leo and Clarissa’s second chance is full of intense romance and unstoppable passion. It’s a beautiful, timeless story of a love that endures forever. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I fell in love with Nicole Snow’s books after reading her Baby Fever Series. I binge read all her available books on KU and was never disappointed. When the opportunity to read an ARC of her latest book in the Heroes of Heart’s Edge Series – No Broken Beast presented itself I jumped at the chance. I find this particular series to be different from the other books she’s written. There is a suspense/danger element to them that enhances the romance aspect as well. In this book we get to know Nine a.k.a Leo and his story. I have to say that I was beyond excited to see what Nicole had in store for him. Living in the shadows he is the town’s protector, their guardian. No one can begin to imagine all that he sacrificed for the greater good. He is incredible. Clarissa is beautifully broken. Forced to leave town and make a life for herself far away from it. Leo and Clarissa, childhood friends, young lovers, forced apart and brought back together again under difficult circumstances. This book has it all: suspence, intrigue, romance and of course a Nicole Snow guaranteed happily ever after. It’s a roller coaster of a ride so well worth the journey. Add this book to your TBR list now and if you haven’t read the other books in the series (No Perfect Hero and No Good Doctor) add those as well.
Truth In The Legend
Nine became a legend in Heart’s Edge. But before he became Nine, he was just a soldier who fell in love with a girl who he wanted to be with forever. Tragedy tore them apart and Clarissa ran away to start over. Before she left, he promised that one day he would find her and they would be together again.
It’s been eight years since she ran. Now she’s back searching for her missing sister. She swore she’d never step foot in Heart’s Edge again, but saving her sister was enough of a reason to bring her back.
Clarissa has so many memories of her hometown. Some good but filled with heartache for the man she left behind. The rest is nothing but reflections on her living nightmares. Her father was the devil. A heartless and cruel man who only cared about power and money.
This romantic suspense was a page-turner. Nine was a beast who had forgotten his own humanity after being forced to live like an animal in hiding. However, you couldn’t help but feel his pain and love him anyway. Clarissa may gave started over, but her heart was left behind. I loved these characters, old and new.
Nine and Clarissa shared an intensity that was beyond words. They had chemistry that sizzled off the pages. When they connected it was body, mind and soul. There was so much to this story and I enjoyed all of it. A new favorite from this author.
Truly unputdownable! This Beauty and the Beast retelling sings with an unbreakable alpha hero, a heroine on a mission, and all the heart that’s absolutely Nicole Snow. Leo and Clarissa know how to turn up the heat in Heart’s Edge. Don’t miss this small town romance thriller–it’s free on Kindle Unlimited!
