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.

Loving Clarissa's work, I couldn't wait to read this. This is one hell of a dark romance and is a twist on the Beauty and Beast element.
Viktor is a man that hides away in the shadows, he is complicated, angry and very dangerous. Having gone through a harrowing experience he has cut himself off from the outside world. He indulges in call girls, where there is no physical contact, that is until one girl fascinates him.
Alexis is a young woman that is doing the best that she can to support herself and her sister. Resulting in the only job that can provide for the two selling her body is the only way.
Making sure that she is always safe, she takes on jobs provided by her pimp that pay well. One such job comes along has consequences she never thought could happen.
This is another fantastic read by Clarissa, and I highly recommend to lovers of dark reads.

really liked it
"His scars go so much deeper than just his skin, and it scares the Shit out of me, but at the same time, it's making me want to know so much more about him. I want to unravel his brain and piece him back together like a puzzle waiting to be solved."
Viktor is monster, guilty of so many bad things the scars he lives with reminds him of all the things he has done and all the guilt he feels for not saying no. His appearance scares others but acts as a visual for all the wrong he has committed and the choices he has made. He is one tortured and conflicted soul. Paying women to dance fur him so heavy find release a dark haired tattooed beauty dares to defy his rules with ominous consequences.
Alexis sells the only commodity she has, her body. Making money the only way she can to provide a roof over her sisters head and food in their bellies Alexis lives her life with no regrets. Being a street rat hasn't been easy but she's a fighter and wants something better for her sister. Accepting the high paid yet slightly odd job starts a chain of events that was past due to happen. Their past and their future was always entwined but is she ready for the truth?
Viktor is a twist on Beauty and the Beast. She is beautiful in her devotion to her sister, her steadfast determination to protect and provide for those she loves. Viktor is a beast of a man, muscled and a temper to match. The pain of remembrance haunts him daily, a constant battle fought between the past and the present. He knows there will be consequences and the fear is slowly consuming him. This story is brooding, with an air of suppressed violence throughout. It all makes perfect sense with the big twist near the end and sheds a different light on his actions previously. It's a story filled with action and drama with both characters being very kick ass! Embroiled in an underworld that likes to stay under the radar both Viktor and Alexis are very tough cookies with all they endure to survive. I enjoyed this story and it was a fantastic twist to the classic fairy tale.
A four star is Winston the fairy godmother read.

Wow oh wow what a great book this was. Clarissa has done it again with her new book her books are outstanding and the writing is awesome! This book is like the beauty and beast story which I loved a lot. I loved Viktor by Clarissa Wild this book was sexy and thrilling and entertaining. The sex was steamy and hot mixed with hot emotions thrown in. These characters were written so well that they grab you and hold onto you. This is diffently a page turner that will keep you glued to the pages. Alexis is a woman who is from the streets she is making a living of selling her body. Viktor is scarred and is a monster who lives in a mansion. These characters were tough and great together. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Excerpt
Unedited Excerpt – Subject to change – Copyright 2016 Clarissa Wild
“Why am I still here?” she whispers as my hand disappears into her panties.
“Because you want me. Because you can’t leave.” I slide my fingers between her slit. Her folds are already wet for me, even before I’ve laid a hand on her. I grin against her skin, finally understanding why I want her so much. She needs it rough … and rough is all I am.
“You used this against me, Lexi …” I whisper in her ear. “Used your pussy as a tool to get information.”
“It wasn’t just that …”
“Show it to me then.”
The nightgown falls down to the floor, exposing her naked body right in front of the open window. But with no one around, neither of us cares. I’m going for the kill.
“Make me believe the lie that’s us,” I say, rubbing her clit.
“It’s not a lie …” she murmurs, her breaths coming out in short gasps.
“You only say that because my hand is around your throat,” I say, dipping my finger into her pussy. She gasps out loud as I go deep and swirl around inside her. “Because I own this pussy.”
“Fuck …” she moans.
I groan and then pull away, releasing her from my grip entirely. A confused Alexis turns around and props herself against the windowsill, her eyes pleading with me as I walk backward. My cock is hard, but my desire to know where we stand is much more urgent. Her legs draw together and she clutches her body as another draft enters through the window, her nipples peaking from the cold.
I can’t help biting my lip as I watch her become befuddled while I sit down on the chair on the opposite end of the room.
“Go on then …” I say, rubbing my bottom lip with my index finger. “Carry on with the little show you had going in my workroom.”
She stares at me for a few seconds before leaning back. Her eyes glance over her shoulder to the opened window. I wonder if she’s thinking what I’m thinking. If she’s hesitating … trying to decide whether to run or stay … if she wants me more than her freedom.
But then her eyes settle on me as I zip down my pants and pull out my cock.
There’s a gleam of desire in her eyes … one that makes me grab a hold of the base and say, “You want this? You can have it … after you show me you really want it.”
