Taming Savage (Tales Reimagined #1)

More reimagined fairytales. But gay!! :D R.S. McKenzie is currently working on a whole series of them (series named: Tales Reimagined). The first book is a Beauty and The Beast retelling, and it's titled "Taming Savage."

["Abel
After the death of our parents, I was taken in by my brother, who has been taking care of me more out of obligation than love. When he doesn’t come home from a job—if burglary can be considered a job—I discover he’s been taken by a beast of a man with soulless eyes. Even with his scars he’s hot as hell, but his cold eyes chill me to the bone. My brother is the only family I have, so I do the only thing I can to make sure my brother is free: I offer myself to the beast for a year instead. When I find out who he is, I fear I may be in over my head.

Savage
The first word that comes to mind when I see Abel? Beautiful. The second? Untouchable. He’s much too beautiful for the likes of me, with my shifting moods and damaged body. What if I spend this year trying to win him over–mind, body, heart, and soul? It would be possible if my enemies weren’t a constant threat. If I were a regular guy, I could have someone like Abel. I have these scars because of who I am; these scars that scare everyone away. Could a beauty like Abel ever see beyond the beast to the man underneath?"]

Beauty and the Beast....if it was gay porn. Plus add some mafia in there. And mutual trauma. And a found family. And a puppy. And did I mention the porn? There's a lot of steam. A loooooot of steam. Filthy, dirty, glorious smut. 

Plus a lot of fluff and sweetness and love and protectiveness and possessiveness and caring. So much caring. Bone-deep, seeing-the-true-you, doing-whatever-it-takes-to-make-you-happy caring. 

Also, some near-death experiences and stalking and threats and violence (check the trigger warnings below).

100% recommend!

Trigger Warnings: discussion of past parental, asshole brothers, off-page animal death, torture, violence, murder, kidnapping, sale of drugs and weapons, and more.
