In Hollywood everyone dreams about the fairytale ending.But I’m not promising her happily ever after.Just one night with the beast.GabeYou know what’s f@#ing ironic? They used to call me Gabe the Babe. Of course, that was before an IED blew half my face off.Now my scars are all anyone can see. Unless I’m prowling the floors of an LA sex club.When I walk in there, barely dressed, women aren’t … club.
When I walk in there, barely dressed, women aren’t looking at my face. Not when I’m packing a python like this.
I thought I had it all figured out. Meaningless sex, no strings, no pitying looks…
But then I saw her. With her innocent doe eyes, her plump lips and her breakneck curves… I know one night could never be enough. Hell, one lifetime seems too short.
Vanessa
I can’t believe I just landed the role of a lifetime. Every actress dreams of her big break and my star is on the rise. It’s a dream come true.
I’ll be playing a nymphomaniac in the blockbuster of the year. There’s only one problem: I’ve never had an orgasm.
Ever.
Not even one.
So now I’m in a sex club trying to research my role when I run into the sexiest beast I’ve ever seen.
Literally.
All of a sudden I’m thinking of doing a different kind of research.
With him. Between the sheets. Naked.
** The Beauty’s Beast is a 53k word steamy STANDALONE contemporary romance with no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.***

Wow! Wow, wow, wow! Eddie does it again! Just when I think he can’t get any better, he goes and does it. Beauty’s Beast is the most touching love story between Vanessa and Gabe. Gabe is a wounded war vet with a chip on his shoulder because of said wounds while Vanessa is an up-and-coming actress who’s just gotten her biggest break yet as the lead in an in-universe 50 Shades movie. Vanessa and Gabe meet in unlikely circumstances but form a deep connection after they begin working together.
This story just ripped my heart right out and tore it to pieces (sob!) but it also put it back together again. And the trademark Cleveland sexytimes scenes are truly the best yet. I really didn’t think anything would ever top my love for Eddie’s first book, American Bad Boy, but this one certainly does it. Do yourselves a favor and 1-click this today.
BEAUTY TAMES THE BEAST
Gabe an ex navy seal that was injured and scared from and IED his fiancé dumps him because he’s not Gabe the Babe anymore. Then once he’s recovered e’s again turned off by the way women act around him.
Gabe & Vanessa are on hot couple. Scorching. I love this interpretation of Beauty & the Beast. Alpha men protecting what’s theirs & strong women who love them make me melt. Couldn’t stop reading until I was finished. A wonderful way to spend a few hours of my day.
I have read all of this author’s books and loved each one, but this story took me by surprise. After spending twelve years in the Navy this author left to pursue his passion for writing. I have known many ex-military men who sport a tough as nails personality. Do I know this author personally, I don’t but I would have to believe that he also sports a tough personality which is necessary to survive deployments and I appreciate that he served. So why is this important to this story? Because he is a male/ex-Sailor writing romance, and I have learned from many friends that a lot of women shy away from male authors as they feel more comfortable reading female writer romance; this story is definitely a must read. Tough exterior/interior or not this author dug deep into his soul to create a stirring story that will melt your heart, make you laugh, and keep you intrigued until the end. This story is about accepting who you are, facing your fears and insecurities, and unconditional love.
Inside this story; engaging characters, camaraderie, sexy flirtatious innuendos, action, gripping suspense, pent up emotions, fun times, phenomenal humor, dynamic vivid scene descriptions, sensuous passionate romance that leaves you breathless, back stories that give the reader insight to the characters, and a well deserved happy ever after when all the obstacles are laid to rest.
From birth, Gabe was his mom’s beautiful boy until a bomb on deployment as a Navy Seal left a hideous scar on his once beautiful face. Before his accident, his arrogant and vain behavior broke many hearts leaving women spellbound and wanting more from him. His fiancee ditched him as she could not stand the sight of him and he found all women cringed when they looked at him. Still sporting a smoking hot body he goes to sex clubs where the lights are dim and women only want what is between his legs. Vanessa, a brown-eyed curvy sassy beauty is at the sex club doing research for a movie she has the lead in. She also has an issue that haunts her; never has she reached sexual pleasure. Gabe is in awe as to the beauty he sees at the club. Walking towards her he wants to know more about her as heated desires swirl through him; but will she be able to see past the ugliness and give him a chance to prove he is more than just a sexy body?
An impressive story that pulls the reader in, makes you feel and has you turning pages to learn what happens next. I am not a crier but I did well up with tears and laughed too. Both characters are certainly praiseworthy; Gabe proves to be quite the hero and Vanessa’s sweet nature sees past Gabe’s imperfection which reveals a beautiful loving soul. Their romance has a bit of drama, but it is genuine and filled with much devotion. I loved them together. Having read many Beauty/Beast stories, this is my fav so far. What I also love is the messages this author has in his stories; the messages here are to look beyond the flaws because what is inside a person is way more important than what you see, communication and true acceptance is pivotal in a long lasting loving relationship. If you treasure romance with a bad boy edge this is a terrific book for your library. I relished this story so (I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy.} Without, reservations, I recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book. Eddie has a wonderful perspective on the male-female relationship! I recommend all of his books!
Gabe is working at a sex club in LA he parades around in thin underwear.
The problem was that he had been scarred in the war and he couldn’t hide them. Vanessa goes into the sex club with some trepidation but she wanted to scope out something for her next role. She meets Gabe the next thing she knows he is fighting off my two bodyguard. She wounds up asking Gabe if he would like the job. Vanessa gets notice that she will have a new costar her ex boyfriend Eric. Things start to heat up with Gabe and Vanessa and she kept it on the down low. The director wants Vanessa to be play nice to Eric. Meantime Gabe and his dog Axle sit on the set protecting Vanessa. Eric starts to walk towards Vanessa and Axle growls so Gabe calls him back. They told the director that Axle was just trying to protect Vanessa. Eric started to make fun of Gabe for his face and Axle so Gabe I finally had it with Eric and punched him and knocked him down. Vanessa had enough and quits the movie after Eric was suppose to swat her backside with a paddle but not really. Eric started to paddle her and he was very hard until Vanessa as she was leaving her producer told her she was in breach of contract. Twists,Turns and Happiness
