In Bed with the Beast (Naughty Princess Club #2) by Tara Sivec

A tale as old as time: she needs a place to stay, he's a grump with a secret and an extra room...can love find a way?
Meet the Naughty Princess Club, a series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that brings readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that three women fall into once they decide to strut their stuff and bring on their own happily ever after.
Living in her overprotective dad’s basement, shy Belle lives her life through books. Being a part of the Naughty Princess Club is the first adventure she’s ever had, plus she desperately needs the money to save one of her favorite places - the local library.
But when her new friends and new business gets her kicked out of her dad’s house, Belle is rescued by the surly Vincent “Beast” Adams who invites her to be his house guest until she gets back on her feet. Despite his attitude problem and long list of rules, Belle finds herself warming to the muscled man with a penchant for growling and starts seeing a gentle side to him that wasn’t there before.

Yet there’s a room that Beast keeps locked and Belle keeps getting hints that Beast is hiding something…can a nerdy librarian tame the beast or will their romance be over before it has a chance to blossom?

In Bed with the Beast is a standalone is part of the Naughty Princess Club. This is a loose fairy tale of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The character’s name are actually Beast and Belle which I find really cute. Okay it’s their nick names, but still cute.  

Belle lives with her over protective dad, but she wants more to life. She wants to save her library and the only thing she can think of is stripping. This plan was hashed out in the first book, but don’t worry, the author explains the situation fairly quickly.

The book started out with a bang and I read 30% of the book before I even knew it. I was just hooked and laughing out loud. I love the banter between Beast (Vincent) and Belle. Vincent works at the strip club as the bouncer and he doesn’t speak much, but he has taken an interest in Belle.

What drew me into this book is that the characters are complete opposites attract. Belle is the nerdy book worm with little experience and Beast is this big large person that usually roars when something upsets him. 

I liked this one a little bit more than the first book only because I felt like there was more interaction between Belle and Beast. The girlfriend dynamics is still there and you will get plenty of Cindy and Ariel action. 

As Belle is trying to find herself, she’s so awkward and bookish but you can’t help but want to hug her, even though she takes notes on everything. Beast is a bit mysterious and you are just rooting for him to make a move on Belle.

Overall, it was a funny treat and if you are a fan of the series you won’t be disappointed.
