Charming The Beast
(Purgatory Series, Book #3)
By Cynthia Eden
My Thoughts
Connor is protecting and guarding Chloe after she was killed and brought back alive but changed. She was half human and half wolf prior to the showdown with her father. Now the Para Unit isn't quite she what she is or what changes happened to her. Chloe keeps trying to run from Connor, but he isn't going to let her go. They are both very attracted to each other and the chemistry is off the charts hot. Sizzling hot. There's another alpha wolf after her though and they will have to fight him and other monsters that her father created.
What I love about Cynthia's Purgatory Series is that there is sit on the edge of your seat and don't dare put that book down action from beginning to end. Then she throws in some scorching hot love stories in the midst of all of that. And her alphas in this series are delicious. I look forward to each and every book in the series and devour them in a day. They are that good. This one is no different. I absolutely loved Connor and Chloe's story and can't wait to read the next one in the series.
I give Charming the Beast 5 hearts!

About the Book
New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden spins a dark and sexy new paranormal
romance tale...
He’s a man with a beast inside...
Connor Marruk never intended to work for the Seattle Para Unit. He’s not one of the good guys—he’s
a real monster, and the beast he carries doesn’t exactly play nicely. But now he finds himself being
blackmailed into a new assignment. It’s supposed to be his last gig. His mission? Protect the beautiful
Chloe Quick. Keep her alive. Destroy her enemies. Easy enough...until he starts to fall for Chloe.
She just wants to escape.
Chloe is tired of being a prisoner. She wants to get away from her Para Unit guard and run fast into the
night. So what if Connor is the sexiest guy she’s ever met? Chloe knows trouble when she sees it, and
Connor is one big, dangerous package of trouble. But, when an obsessed werewolf begins stalking Chloe,
she realizes that her paranormal bodyguard may just be the one man she needs the most.
Their attraction is primal.
Every moment that Chloe and Connor spend together increases their attraction. Chloe has never felt
a need so strong or a desire so dark. The beast that Chloe carries inside has always been silent, but
Connor is stirring up her animal instincts. And as the danger and desire begin to twist together, Chloe
wonders just how far she’d be willing to go...in order to spend one more night in Connor’s arms.

Excerpt
“Is that
really how you say thanks? By trying to cut me open?” He kept his voice low and he made sure to
keep them in the shadows. The last thing he wanted was some do-gooder human
coming around.
Her
breath panted out as she heaved in his hold. He didn’t let her go.
“I…I
didn’t realize it was you.”
Right.
He could actually buy that. Seeing as how she kept having werewolves stalk her,
she truly might have thought someone else was after her.
“It’s
me,” he told her grimly. “You ran from me.”
He
could see every beautiful detail of her face, even in the darkness. He had
perfect vision—perfectly enhanced vision.
There was no missing the fear in her expression. He didn’t like Chloe’s
fear. Even when he was pissed at her,
Connor didn’t want her to be afraid.
“You
know I won’t hurt you,” he said, his voice a low rasp.
“Then
let me go.”
If
only things were that simple. “I can’t.”
Her
lips trembled. Her lips were the first
thing he’d noticed about her—they were full and red. The kind of lips that
instantly made him think of sex. Then
he’d gotten caught in her eyes. No one should have eyes that blue. Maybe it was because her hair was so dark, a
perfect black, and, in contrast to that darkness, her eyes appeared to be such
a bright, electric blue.
Her
face was heart-shaped, her cheekbones almost ridiculously high. She had a small
nose and a slightly pointed chin. Her
skin was pale, probably because the Para Unit had been keeping her in various stages
of isolation and she hadn’t exactly been free to roam in the outside world and
soak up a bit of sunshine.
But
that was what happened when you killed a man…and when you rose from the dead. You get monitored by the Para Unit.
Chloe
Quick wasn’t supposed to be in front of him. She’d died a few weeks ago. Not some near-death BS, either. She’d been knifed in the heart. She’d died.
Then
she’d come back, thanks to the dark wish of a djinn. Only now, the Para Unit didn’t exactly know what Chloe was.
“I
warned you not to escape,” he told her. The other werewolf had been right. Her
scent was damn near intoxicating, and if he’d just been a werewolf, he probably
would have been nearly mindless in his desire to claim her.
But
he wasn’t just a wolf, and that was why Eric Pate had given him guard duty with
Chloe. Because I’m supposed to be able to
control my baser impulses. But if that were truly the case, would he be
holding her so carefully, his fingers sliding over her wrists, his body pushing
ever closer to hers?
USA Today Best-selling author Cynthia Eden has written over
twenty-five novels and novellas. She was named as a 2013 RITA® finalist for her
paranormal romance, ANGEL IN CHAINS, and, in 2011, Cynthia Eden was a RITA
finalist for her romantic suspense, DEADLY FEAR.
Cynthia is a southern girl who loves horror movies,
chocolate, and happy endings. She has
always wanted to write (don’t most authors say that?), and particularly enjoys
creating stories about monsters–vampires, werewolves, and even the real-life
monsters that populate her romantic suspense stories.
Cynthia’s foreign sales for her books include translations
to Japan, Germany, Thailand, Greece, and Brazil.
(Back in the day…) Cynthia graduated summa cum laude from
the University of South Alabama where she studied Sociology (because people
interest her) and Communication (because she likes to write about said
people). Cynthia has worked as a college
admissions counselor, a teacher, and as an editor. But now, Cynthia is thrilled
to be spending her days making up stories.
