She’s a beauty, but will that be enough to tame the beast and save her life?

Dimitri has been living in Vancouver for 3 years now. He has never left his million dollar penthouse in all that time.
He’s hiding. Not only from the russian mafia-boss Sergej who wants him dead. But also because he’s scared to face people. He’s been badly scarred when Sergej tried to kill him.
His best friend brings him blindfolded whores – to ‘use’ for his special sexual tastes. And even though he sometimes hurts them very badly they often leave halfway in love with this stranger who paid them so much money for a few hours of their time.
Columbia is a 19 year old girl with scars of her own. Both inside and outside. Her father molests her and her mother doesn’t care all that much anymore.
The only 2 things that keep her alive are college and her little sister.
By trying to impress the guy she’s had a crush on since high school – she joins his environmental group and she even volunteers to be smuggled into the apartment of reclusive texan billionaire Jarrod Jacob to confront him about his intentions of building ugly highrises in their neighboorhood.
Only Dimitri isn’t a texan billionaire. He’s a russian ex-criminal billionaire – and one of his legitimate business aliases is that of the texan guy.
Dimitri catches Columbia on his security cameras – a beautiful girl who’s probably there to kill him – he grabs her, blindfolds her, and ties her up in his ‘Interrogation-Room’.
Dimitri tries to find out if she’s there to kill him – and he’s not very gentle … he knows how to find out the truth from people. He learned that in his time with the russian mob.
Columbia wants to escape but there’s just no chance – so she has to wait for the right moment.
But does she really want to escape??? Here’s this beautiful man who wants to control her – she would finally be able to let go and just BE for a while…..
That’s how things get started.
I’m not telling you what will happen next –
and LOTS of things will happen – but you just have to read the book to find out …
and please do! Because….
__________________________________
I REALLY LOVED THE BOOK – and I LOVED DIMITRI & COLUMBIA
You might think that Dimitri is this horrible, wild, violent, mean russian ganster … and he is – or was. But from the first lines of the book we’re in love with him – or at least I was.
He had a horrible childhood and then he was semi happy working as in the russian mob – making money – having sex whenever and with whomever he wanted. But then he was betrayed by the guy he thought of as a father-figure. And he’s now hiding and waiting for his chance to kill his enemy.
And while he’s hiding and waiting – he somehow forgot how to live. That is so sad to read!!! The poor rich guy all alone in his million dollar penthouse – but never going outside to walk along the streets of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
But then Columbia comes along and even though it’s the opposite from what he expected – she drags him out of his gloom and shows him to live again!
The two of them are so perfect for each other – both so horrible scarred and abused.
They need each other to heal.
I literally fell in love with the book while I was reading the first two lines. – And the last line was just as amazing!! But please don’t go and read the last lines first – I hate when people do that!
THE BEAST was a wonderfully dark and erotic Love Story about 2 lost souls who are finally able to start to live again – even if it’s in a, for us unimaginable, way. For them it’s perfect.
GO AND BUY THE BOOK!!!
it might not be for everybody – it’s violent and really dark and twisted – but those things really need to be in the book!!!! Just try it – but don’t leave a horrible review because something in it is against your ‘religion’
A few tiny little things I didn’t like – the whole sex-thing started a bit late for my tastes – it took a bit too long to lead up to them really being together…. hm well…it was totally ok the way it was, but…I just expected a bit more sex
AND – the story is told from both Dimitri’s and Columbia’s POV – one chapter his POV – one chapter hers – and sometimes those chapters overlap …they tell us about the same scene – not the complete scene again – but a few moments of it. That was a bit confusing for me – it took me a while to get used to it – hehehe I was probably just too stupid to get it – I guess it will be a bit more obvious for other people
BUT – I still LOVED the book & especially DIMI
OMG! I’ve read dark but this one was too out there for me. Book may have been well written but the storyline wasn’t for me. Speechless but not in a good way. I’m glad they found each other but all I can say is OMG!
“You belong to me now; in the end you will find your freedom through this ownership. In losing the ability to make your own decisions, in knowing that every single day that I choose to let you live might possibly be your last…in giving yourself to me completely, you will be free to heal yourself and see yourself whole. I am going to take the broken parts of you and mend them back together. I will do this for you if you give yourself to me.”
Woah!
I finished this book 2 days ago, and am only now getting my bearings back to write this review, might I add, I have sat here for over an hour trying to make sense of my ravings about this book.
Due to the dark nature of this book and the fact it has been banned in the past, This book comes with a warning from Jaden, one you should read before picking up the book.
WARNING
This is a classified as a dark erotic novel. It deals with some pretty heavy themes. It may trigger those who have experience sexual abuse, rape, violence, basically a shitty childhood or life in general. I must be kind of messed in the head, because I thought it was a touching story full of amazing imagery and people with hearts that continue to beat and seek the beauty in the world in spite of life grinding them into nothingness. Apparently some early reviewers have found mainly the darker elements, so consider this your warning, for what it’s worth. This is not a fairy tale, this is what happens when the music ends and life goes on after the credits roll. This is about simply existing until you find yourself and write your own happily ever after, no matter what form it takes.
Now, with that being said, let’s move on.
No stranger from violence, Dimitri endures abuse from his father through childhood, finally having enough at the age of 12 years old, he takes a step into the line of violence, lies, and murder, and he started it all off with murdering his father. Homeless and running the streets, hee was brought into the Russian Mafia, Bravata by Sergei, his once trusted mentor, and he quickly climbed his way up the ranks, earning himself the title, The Enforcer.
Within the walls of the Bravata, the rumors circulated that Dimitri was trying to take over, Sergei attempted to take him out, but fails, sending Dimitri into hiding to heal and plot his revenge.
It was worth waiting for. Sergei had many vulnerable spots; it was just a matter of deciding which one would hurt the most when hit.
Columbia, also not a stranger to an abusive life. Her mother is never around, leaving her with her alcoholic and abusive stepfather and a sister she is determined to protect at all costs.
Columbia is a cutter. She cuts to free herself from her life, free herself to feel in control of herself.
“The entire experience had an otherworldly feel and for the first time in months she felt in control of her environment.”
While trying to save her community from a huge development, and to impress a guy, Columbia, and her activist’s group decide the best course is to take things head on, to sneak into the penthouse of the man responsible for it all and demand some answers. Little did she realize, she was volunteering to go into the lair of a beast.
Dimitri, paranoid that everyone is out to get him, instantly views her as a threat, as someone who is sent to finally end him. He stops at nothing to get answers as to who sent her, slapping, punching and near choking her to death, Columbia fights back, determined to make him believe her, determined to survive.
When he finally believes her, he realizes he can’t let her leave. Ever.
“I have decided that you will stay with me. I have never had a pet, but I think I will make an exception for a girl like you.”
Things move really fast and before you know it, Columbia gives in to her attraction and these two are so intensely in need of each other, body and heart, finding each other’s imperfections to be beautiful, finding that their needs, wants and desires of pain and domination were their “normal.” A twisted and yet very sexy kind of insta-love.
“I am inside of you, I have your life in my hands. I could close my hand and break your neck, but I don’t… I pleasure you instead. I bring you pleasure, I bring you life. Never forget that.”
I know you all want to know, what about the sex? Extreme!
Dimitri’s raw need to totally dominate and own Columbia is matched by her desires to be claimed by her beast in such panty-singeing details I found myself trying to read faster just to speed it up and get the release I was begging for from their intense connection.
“They came together, pain and blood and sweat and tears a testament to the bond they were forging in that moment. Something deeper than love, something bigger than either of them, and something so far beyond the realm of normal that it was almost mythical.”
There is no in between for this book, it’s Intense! Either you have incredible mind-blowing orgasmic highs, or you are left sitting there with your heart made into a smoothie courtesy of Jaden
If you are a lover of the dark, twisted and, pain induced mind shattering orgasms, this is one to add to the TRB list, along with its follow-up, Perfectly Normal
“Don’t ever apologize for loving me so hard that it hurts. Every time you take me to the edge of death, and let me live, I know I am your truest love. I know you would die without me, and I cherish that with every beat of my heart.”
Public Service Announcement from Jaden Wilkes
Life is not a fucking fairy tale. I am pleased you enjoyed my novel, the story of two people able to find one another in this dark and terrible world. Two people who worked through their pain and past hurts to find a way to overcome all that caused them injury. This is not how it works in real life. If any man hits you, abuses you, basically exhibits any of the sociopathological traits shown by pretty much all the men in this novel, run! Call the Domestic Violence hotline in your neck of the woods and get out. Your vagina is not magical, your love is not a healing elixir, and if he hurts you now, it will get worse. Write your own happily ever after and find yourself.
