Recommendation
Viktor is a dark and gritty twist on the Beauty and the Beast fairy-tale. Alexis sells her body to live and she does it very well. She knows the rules of the lifestyle and does what she needs to do for herself and her sister. Viktor thinks of himself as a monster and despite their first encounter which ends with his hands around her throat, he is anything but. I enjoyed watching their dynamic grow. Love that Clarissa put such a sexy, edgy spin to this classic story.

Publisher synopsis
Animal. Monster. Beast. That's what they call Viktor Melikov, the man who hides in the dark … But even monsters need to be loved. The moment he sees the girl hired to dance for him, everything ceases to exist. It's a feeling he's unfamiliar with … and craves more than anything.
Alexis Kidd sells her body. Not because she wants to, but because she needs to. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to support her family and survive.
Now she must dance for a man hiding behind a veil.
But when the urge to take a look grows too strong … Alexis gets more than she bargained for.
More than Viktor was willing to give.
Inspired by a fairytale, VIKTOR is a standalone Romance by New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Clarissa Wild.
