I have loved Leo and Haley’s story from the moment I started reading Secret Beast, but Fallen Rose takes their story and their relationship to a whole other level.
Fallen Rose picks up where things left off in Hidden Beauty and really you shouldn’t read this one without reading the two previous books or else you will be a whole lot of confused.
I loved getting to see a more vulnerable side to Leo, it made him feel more real in a way. He isn’t just this vicious and cold man, he has a softer side. Haley is his exact opposite, but also exactly the type of woman he needed in his life. Their chemistry is off the charts and their bond is strong.
From start to finish Leo and Haley’s story was addicting, captivating and pure heat!
If you’re looking for a dark, steamy, fairytale retelling this is one to check out!

I read this book because I wanted to desperately finish the trilogy and I was soooo confused.
The change of plot and character from the first to last book did not make a lot of sense to me and even though this story is very close to the go plot of beauty and the beast (disney version) some things were still missing and made me confused. Number one: How are there sooo many good ppl from the "evil family" and how are they all dating a morelli?. It is ngl a bit weird how they are all dating someone from the opposite family.
Number two: I think this book just dragged out the plot of the second one and made no sense at all. The kidnapping plot line was weird but at least we met Daphne who I liked.
And yet again there is more smut than plot and I am just not a fan of the "I want to make you cry" plot as well as the really really violent sex that comes so out of nowhere.
Again I read this because I did want to finish the trilogy but otherwise I would not have read this.

The last installment of this Beauty and the Beast retelling is angsty, very dark and very steamy.
Leo is the quintescential tortured hero who feels he needs to sacrifice in order to save his lover. He doesn't feel he is worthy of her. And Haley is the soft hearted heroine that ultimately saves the hero with her love.
The role of Gaston is reprised by Caroline Constantine who is an amazing embodiment of every villain in the fairy tales. She is cruel, evil to the core and extremely manipulative.
I liked the plot twists and the ending but I was not very keen on the twisted steamy scenes.

a fine conclusion that suits the overall story
honestly, if i had it my way, i would have combined all three installments into one book, as each one kind of feels incomplete on their own.
but a fine ‘beauty and the beast’ retelling for readers who want a bit of dark steaminess.
↠ 3 stars

We pick up right after the events of Hidden Beauty and end on a Happily Ever After that will leave you swooning and hopeful for the future ahead.
Haley's new residence is revealed and if you suspected a cushy mansion in her future, you'd be right. The lengths Caroline will go to ensure her despicable acts with Leo remain in the dark are insane. Playing everyone around her like a chess master, adhering to her regal and demure facade, Caroline paints Haley as a troubled, mentally unstable young woman. A woman who's suffering from PTSD and Stockholm Syndrome, having been used and abused by the 'Beast of Bishops Landing' for over a month. Thankfully the foolishness doesn't go on for long.
The flashbacks and suffering we witnessed from Leo last book are turned on their head when we witness Haley struggling to reconcile Ronan's actions in Leo's office. The method's Leo uses to help Haley overcome her night terrors is unconventional but wholly them. Brutal, dirty, filthy sex with a forced hand and sensation overload has never seemed so enticing.
Do you remember that part in Beauty and the Beast where everyone attends the ball and the beast becomes the prince? The yellow dress, the classic song, that one scene that gets etched in your memory? We get to experience it all in this book!! Yes there's a twist but when Hades came to visit with gifts I was so giddy with excitement I couldn't read fast enough.
But the ending is what stole the entire show for me. I am so happy with the way Amelia closed out this trilogy and still left us breadcrumbs for more within the world. I look forward to cameos from Leo and Haley in the upcoming Dark Reign. Daphnes collector is looking to become a new stalker favorite for my own collection.

3.5⭐️
this book was going so well up until the last 20%. i didn't care for the conflicts, i just wanted them to be together. i just felt like it was so repetitive since in every single book they had the same problem (caroline).
i felt like all this shit could've been resolved so much faster and easier but idk i feel like all the books in the midnight dynasty will have the same villain (caroline) and i just want this bitch to die already. how hard is it to kill an old lady??????
anyway i still love leo and haley together, and their trilogy is worth reading <3 i just really hated the drama in this book.
“My heart has been in your pocket from the moment we met. Stay with me.” I bring her hand to my lips and kiss her knuckles. “Forever. I don’t care where we go. I don’t care if we have to live with your family or go to the ends of the earth. I need you.”

✨How to ruin a good series 101 (Amelia Wilde edition):✨
-=- 2.5 stars-=-
-=-
I feel like this book was a prime example of trying to overcomplicate a good thing.
Less was genuinely more when it came to this couple- so all of the repetition in terms of the conflict and plot was getting really underwhelming to see.
And what made it worse was that Caroline was such an unconvincing 'villain'. What do you mean I have to take this 345+ y/o Karen bobcut looking ass mf seriously??? The fact that 3 books' worth of conflict was based around one unbelievably underwhelming character was crazy. The only thing she had going on for her was that she was rich- but so was everyone else 😭 so why was she so 'unstoppable'?
-=-
I feel like objectively the best parts of this series and books were those intimate scenes between the MCs- not all of the unnecessary drama. A lot of those scenes felt really overshadowed, in particular within this book- which was so disappointing to see, considering that this couple had A LOT of potential.
Overall the book was alright, but to me, it really took away from the past two. After really enjoying those books, I was just left unsatisfied with how this one played out and ended. Leo & Haley were such a good couple but I without a doubt wanted more from this.
-=- 2.5 stars-=-
1) Build up really emotionally complex characters
2) Consistently develop their relationship over the span of a couple of books
3) Try to end the series in a way that makes sense
4) 👹Throw away all of the above with unnecessary conflicts and dumb villains 👹
5) Just end the book there because why even try at that point (development who?)

~𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒕𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒘. 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈~
The thrilling conclusion to Leo and Haley’s story. Book two ended with Haley being captured by Caroline’s henchman. In book three she wakes up in an unfamiliar house and her aunt tries to manipulate her way into the young woman’s mind.
~𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘~
The story moves to a slow pace and most of what happens is the introspection of Leo Morelli. We finally get full disclosure to his innermost being. His complex character comes to light, it’s impossible to remain unaffected by how much pain this man had to and still endures, his strong façade cracks in front of Haley’s love, Leo thinks of himself as a beast, he chose this role for a purpose and he’s ready to accept his penance, he feels undeserving of love.
~𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕~
Haley is determined to show Leo that she loves him, all of him, broken pieces included, she is firm in her belief that her beast is a prince, she understands the meaning of love and sacrifice. In this last book, she was more passive compared to how she first appears in the story. She’s still the loyal daughter, doting over her family, willing to give up her happiness to save her father, however she didn’t shine so much. I liked her better in the second part of the story, when she becomes more active and finally faces her nightmares head on.
Haley’s softness is the perfect salve to Leo’s edginess, they compensate each other, I liked them together, the chemistry between them is always exploding, the way she is pliable in Leo’s hand a real bonus to a plot at times flat.
~𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒚𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆, 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎. 𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖~
I love reading stories in the Midnight Dynasty world, I was eager to read Leo Morelli’s and I’m glad this author made him justice giving us an impressive hero. My initial impression about the two families has been confirmed, the Constantine may appear like the perfect image of integrity and rightfulness, however Caroline proved, once again, how that’s just a false assumption ingrained into people. I look forward to reading more of this world and discover all the skeletons in the closets and dirty secrets that make up this world.

Making an antihero broken and invincible at the same time is an art. And Amelia Wilde has mastered it. Fallen Rose brings the stunning conclusion of Leo Morelli and Haley Haley Constantine's twisted, heartbreaking and emotionally charged love story. The author has delivered depraved and sensational chemistry with heart stopping story line and epic writing. I went through emotional hell, beautiful angsty torture and finally reached the heartwarming happily ever after.
Morellis and Constantines are mortal enemies. They fight for money and power. Leo Morelli, the Beast of Bishop's Landing has made Haley Constantine sign a contract to surrender her body in exchange of her father's safety. But that was before Haley has destroyed his walls and provided him the peace and calm he craved for so many years. Haley wants the beast and the angel in this complex man. But Caroline Constantine, the matriarch won't let them be happy. She has hurt Leo before and Leo cannot let her drag Haley through the pain just for vengeance. Sacrifices need to be done. Decisions to be made. The clock is ticking.
I have fallen deeper for Leo Morelli in Fallen Rose. The full spectrum of his character is really fascinating. He has this angry, ruthless and merciless reputation that will make you tremble in fear. His violence and dangerous side are like shields. To hide his vulnerability and to protect his family and Haley. And then you see his over possessive , dominating and obsessed heart. I couldn't help but fall for this misunderstood and perfect man. The difficult and life changing decisions he took for Haley show his depth of love. And then you see the ruined and destroyed side that made me cry and break my own heart. An antihero with sharp cutting edges- you cannot beat it. And Haley is such a strong partner. She may have lived a sheltered innocent life but she welcomed Leo's darkness and embraced his demons. She stood by him even in face of the most cruel threats. Leo pushed her, hurt her and broke her heart for love. But she kept on pushing back again and again. And I love her for that. The author's writing was absolutely amazing in this story. My heart feels heavy and delighted at the same time. I could feel the power of their love right in my heart and it moved me so deeply. It was definitely dirty and carnal fest too. But for me the emotions were all consuming. I am feeling they attacked me viciously till I burnt under the intensity. The twists and turns kept me biting my nails and clutching my chest and I didn't let my guard down till all the puzzle pieces fall in place.
Fallen Rose by Amelia Wilde made my heart flutter, ache and go crazy with the overload of emotions and passion and suspense. If you want to pick one Beauty and the Beast retelling, this series should be your choice.
I reviewed an early copy voluntarily
Morellis and Constantines are mortal enemies. They fight for money and power. Leo Morelli, the Beast of Bishop's Landing has made Haley Constantine sign a contract to surrender her body in exchange of her father's safety. But that was before Haley has destroyed his walls and provided him the peace and calm he craved for so many years. Haley wants the beast and the angel in this complex man. But Caroline Constantine, the matriarch won't let them be happy. She has hurt Leo before and Leo cannot let her drag Haley through the pain just for vengeance. Sacrifices need to be done. Decisions to be made. The clock is ticking.
I have fallen deeper for Leo Morelli in Fallen Rose. The full spectrum of his character is really fascinating. He has this angry, ruthless and merciless reputation that will make you tremble in fear. His violence and dangerous side are like shields. To hide his vulnerability and to protect his family and Haley. And then you see his over possessive , dominating and obsessed heart. I couldn't help but fall for this misunderstood and perfect man. The difficult and life changing decisions he took for Haley show his depth of love. And then you see the ruined and destroyed side that made me cry and break my own heart. An antihero with sharp cutting edges- you cannot beat it. And Haley is such a strong partner. She may have lived a sheltered innocent life but she welcomed Leo's darkness and embraced his demons. She stood by him even in face of the most cruel threats. Leo pushed her, hurt her and broke her heart for love. But she kept on pushing back again and again. And I love her for that. The author's writing was absolutely amazing in this story. My heart feels heavy and delighted at the same time. I could feel the power of their love right in my heart and it moved me so deeply. It was definitely dirty and carnal fest too. But for me the emotions were all consuming. I am feeling they attacked me viciously till I burnt under the intensity. The twists and turns kept me biting my nails and clutching my chest and I didn't let my guard down till all the puzzle pieces fall in place.

This final chapter in Leo and Haley's story was perfect, and so much more than I could have expected. Their love is raw, and sometimes broken, but always emotional and heartfelt.
Several times while reading this story I was worried, worried that the outcome of this couple would not be as beautiful as I needed it to be. They fractured and broke apart so many times, and finally found the glue to put them back together and make they stick as one.
The Beast of Bishop's Landing is now the Prince of Bishop's Landing, as he always should have been.

Be prepared and brace yourself, you will go from hot and bothered to sad in a blink of an eye, talk about edge of your seat type of read. Fallen Rose is a perfect conclusion to a stellar series, with exceptional writing, cameos from characters that we all love and highly charged and emotionally satisfying moments. Leo and Haley’s final book was so good and such an anticipated read that I couldn’t put it down but at the same time I wanted to prolong it as much as I could. I didn’t want to see this series come to an end but nonetheless it left me wholly satisfied. I’m obsessed with Amelia Wilde’s characters and her books. She seems to have a way to make me fall hard for her heroes old and new! I have mad love for Leo and I seriously bow down to Amelia. Cause I honestly didn’t think he can get any more perfect than he already was but damn, she slayed me! Leo and Haley’s journey hurt but it hurt so sweet. In the end they got what they deserve and then some. This is a must read and I can’t recommend it enough, 10 plus star read!

WHAT AN EPIC FINALE!! Amelia has saved her most intoxicating, beguiling, and spellbinding book in this trilogy for last- the perfect conclusion to this erotic, sensual, and deliciously dark beauty and the beast masterpiece. I was transfixed from the first word to the last, desperate for our star crossed lovers to find a way to conquer the evilest of Constantines, but even more desperate for our beauty and our beast to be free of their pain.
Like Haley, I’m a captive- completely owned by the intoxicating dark magnificence of Leo Morelli. HE IS EVERYTHING. Hands down Amelia’s most compelling and nuanced hero to date. And, the Morelli beast is ironically the soonest Midnight Dynasty leaning man of all. Amelia has created such a profound and compelling character evolution for this long-suffering, tortured man. In this finale, we see the full spectrum of what makes Leo Morelli- from the savage, ruthless, carnal urges of his repressed beastly nature to the altruistic, unconditional, pure love he oozes as he selflessly sacrifices for his family and Haley. But we see the entirety of the man in this conclusion, and he is breathtaking. Whereas the fabled beast wore his beastly guise as the result of a curse, Leo has donned his beastly persona of choice. He’s created a weaponized visage that protects him from exposing his pain, his trauma, his heart. But now we see the most beautiful, soul shattering aspect of this man- his vulnerability. And while we still have our alpha, dominant, possessive Morelli king, we also have a wounded, gentle, devastating besotted hero. Amelia gives us both beast and prince- and THIS IS HOW YOU EVOLVE A CHARACTER! I was transfixed by every word. His past broke my heart, but his arrestingly beautiful way of loving Haley shattered it completely. The power of his heart was truly breathtaking, I felt his pain and devotion in my very soul. Our prior books helped us understand his dimension, but now Leo has to come to terms with all parts of himself. And it’s less about harnessing the beast, and more about accepting his goodness. He has to expose all of himself, and sweet and solid Haley loves him for every piece.
“I’m the beast now. The nightmare….
I see you for what you are. You’re a prince. My prince.”
Haley is his perfect match- the light to his dark, the submissive to his need for control. I loved how unwavering she is- she knows what and who she wants, and she never falters. Despite the countless obstacles her family and the vicious matriarch Caroline Constanine throw her way. She’s so pure of heart, but she’s not naive. She doesn’t want to tame the beast- she wants to accept and love him, and she also wants to help him see that he’s more than that. And in doing so, we also see her blossom, as his partner, as his equal. We see her become more than the poor Constantine captive, the pawn. I appreciated that Amelia found ways to keep her soft- but she also is POWERFUL. Their chemistry is still combustible and scorching, but now with SO much emotional dimension, because they finally are emotionally bare to one another. Completely honest, exposed, and it only strengthens their connection.
While the story has certainly veered from its beauty and the beast beginnings, Amelia finds ways to keep nodding at the themes of the original, but with her own brilliant twist. Our climatic is her best and most impactful referential moment of the entire series- I literally could not breathe I was so consumed by emotion. And, like our second story, this book is more metaphysical in focus- about the emotional wrestling these characters are doing with themselves, so our story remains deliciously meta. You feel so intimately connected to them both. And the prose is beautifully composed.
And just when I was lamenting that this engrossing story was turning its final page for good, Amelia gifts us with an epilogue that sets us up for a spin-off that has me SALIVATING. One that I can only hope gives me a chance to dance just a little while longer with the beauty and her beast. By far one of the best stories yet in the Midnight Dynasty world, and one of my favorite Amelia Wilde series ever.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS
Star Rating : 4.5/5 Stars
POV : Dual
Cliffhanger : None
Hero : Leo
Heroine : Haley
Pace of the story : Moderate
Angst Rating : 5/10
Heat Rating : 6/10
Triggers Involved : kidnapping
Plot Summary :
Leo's whole world has been imploded. Haley has been taken and Leo is willing to do anything to find her. She is the one person who saw the man behind the beast and there is nothing he won't do for her now.
Haley doesn't know what to do. She knows that she is stuck between monsters but the mind games and manipulation is what hurts her the most. Leo is not with her. She loves him but for him his revenge is more important. And their differences might be the one thing that will end then for once and for all.
Overall Opinion :
I am just so sad to see these characters go!! After reading Winston's book, I just knew that I could never love Leo that much but omg, Amelia proved me wrong in a brutal way. Not only do I love Leo more than anything, he is now one of my most favorite heroes of the midnight dynasty world!
Leo and Haley have a tale that will make you both scream and cry so much. Especially Leo. At first he made me angry but then I couldn't help but cry for that man. What happened to him was so horrific that my heart hurt for him. I didn't know that the character who was the villain in this trilogy was such a bitch honestly. I thought of her to be someone cold but good but now I am sure that she is the worst of them all.
I really hope if not Amelia then some other author gives that character what she deserves because I am done with her antics. She pisses me off so much! The ending of the trilogy was perfect. I will admit that I expected more of a retribution but I got what and why everything happened. The characters are perfect and so was the teaser for the next book in this series! I am so excited.
I would definitely recommend this trilogy to all the dark enemies to lovers of romance! It's crazy and good and I loved it so much.

This was hands down the best Beauty and the Beast retelling I’ve ever read. Fallen Rose is the heart-wrenching and exceptionally sexy final installment in the Beast Trilogy. Amelia Wilde is such a talented storyteller and I loved the story she created for Haley and Leo. It was jam packed with so much angst and emotion, and the hard fought battle that these two characters went through made it impossible to put down.
“I want all of you. Even the beast.”
Haley and Leo’s bond was put to the test in this story in so many ways. They were being pulled apart in so many different directions, but I loved how when it was just the two of them, their connection sizzled and their relationship blossomed. This final book made me love Leo so much more. The agony he endured in his past really molded who he was and I love the way Haley helped heal him. Haley has grown so much from when we first met her in book one. Together their chemistry was unparalleled and I loved how they made each other better just by being together.
“Leo Morelli has never once touched me like I was fragile or breakable. He has always touched me like I belonged to him. Like he wants me more than anything in the world.”
Everything about this story was so well executed. The words flowed so well, as did the plot. This author is so great at creating these situations of utter despair for her characters, only to bring hope to them when all appears lost. I loved the secondary characters and I’m beyond excited to get my hands on Daphne’s book. This was such a thrilling and entertaining trilogy and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a dark and twisted spin on a classic fairytale.

What an addictive and compelling conclusion to the Beast of Bishop's Landing’s story! I seriously could not put this book down and Leo had me by the heartstrings. I’ve never hated...and I mean HATED a Constantine as much as Caroline. She really stands out as a dark stain on humanity. Every single time Haley thawed Leo’s beastly heart a tiny bit more, I swooned a little harder. Leo was the perfect broken, tortured hero and possessed this inner protective strength no matter the sacrifice that I couldn’t help but melt for his struggles and lonely life. Haley was born in innocence but she still had a strong will in her heart for what was right or wrong and knew who her soul was destined for. She had that magical touch that could soothe the beast. This last book was a crazy roller coaster of emotions with lots of action, psychotic power plays and desperate plans. Thankfully we have a ton of steamy scenes to balance all of the angst or I may have lost my mind. I loved this trilogy and I promise you I’ll be reading more Amelia Wilde books in the near future. #TeamMorelli

Oh, Leo Morelli. The Beast of Bishops Landing. The protector of all he loves. Damn, I knew when this man fell in love, he'd fall hard. I love how he fell for someone who needed him as much as he needed her. Leo and Haley were so damn good together.
So much fire, so much angst and desire and lust between them. They explore their mutual attraction in the best way possible, fully giving each other what they need.
I love how she bent to his will when necessary, and how she saw the man underneath his hard facade. She knew he was as desperate for love as she was.
He made me want to strangle him at one point, but thank God that was short lived. And I love how Haley got a backbone because as much as Leo loved being big and bad to her innocence, I think he really needed to have her stand up for him in a way no other person ever has. He needed her strong to be by his side, and I feel like by the end of this book she finally got there.
I miss these two already, but I love the closure she brought to their story.

You are not ready for this book. Leo and Haley broke my heart. We get so many revelations and character development in this book, I am in awe.
This series is probably my favorite from this author and with reason. So emotional and sensational.
Great writing, heartpounding moments and a very emotional contemporary retelling. I recommend these books.

Fallen Rose brings us the conclusion of Haley and Leo's story. Amelia has made a seemingly unlovable character and given him such depth that we can understand his actions. Wounded his beauty will help him to overcome his pain.
This page turning conclusion wraps up their story so well. A fantastic beauty and the beast retelling.

I really wanted and hoped that this one will be good as the first but it wasn't.
For me the 1st was 5 stars... the second 3...and this 3d...barely 3 more like 2,5 :'(
The thing that i was annoyed about was the freaking heroine! she did ruin it for me a little in the second book but in this last one? i got so mad with her goshhhhh! and all that happened in barely 8% of the story like...wtf??
[nothing that bad luckily but still she ruined and made me remove stars from the rating.]
Now spoilers...
She gets kidnapped by her aunt from Leo's house, she gets closed in a room and she is all crying and sad and wanting to go back to Leo but she isn't strong enough to tell her aunt to fuck off and this was so irritating , she had courage with Leo that of course anyone knew he was a ''beast'' and she couldn't handle being mean to her aunt [ a woman that do horrible stuffs to Leo but also she was bad with her and her family too] she stayed like a puppet in her hands and when she told her to have a date with Rick a guy she knows she just goes along with it ...like WTF? it wasn't like she forced her to do it :/ .... now this is where is was like screaming! so, he told her to sit on the couch next to him and he started to kiss her checks and then her mouth and she DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP HIM! SHE DIDN'T PUSH HIM AWAY, SHE DIDN'T TELL HIM TO STOP! he stayed there with his mouth on her for a long time trying to kiss her MIND YOU NOT USING FORCE, but like she said ''he kissed her with gentleness '' and i'm like wtf? she just froze there in her mind and let him do it! then he started to touch her leg and then she somewhat saw a camera above them and finally she tried to push him away when he was about to unbuckle his belt and she is having a breakdown and let her aunt console her....WTF? and she then after was saved and all told Leo and everyone that Rick was gonna rape her being gentle and all WTF? HOW? HOW CAN ANYONE TELL IT'S A RAPE GENTLE? he didn't even use force to anything, yes he tried to push her to kiss him back but it wasn't like he kept her head and forced her! i was so blindsided by this i didn't know if to laugh or scream at her. ANYWAY the only saving grace is that she didn't kiss him back so there wasn't any tongue involved but still i hated her guts for not reacting, like come on, you weren't tied up, wtf.
Other than situation there wasn't any like that so i could get pass it but in the back of my mind i draw the line with Haley i felt so disappointed with her again :(
Random things that didn't make sense in the plot:
-she was back with her father in the hospital and then randomly she was able to go back to Leo and there wasn't any mention of the father and his condition till after the epilogue...like wtf? someone was supposed to stay and take care of him but the author just forgot and Haley too :))
and how about Caroline, she forgot about her too.
- they never used condoms and there was never a talk about any pregnancy , not even at the end in the epilogue we never know if they will have them or not, we dont know if she was on birth control or not
- i was annoyed with the sex they did...all that tears etc got old for me.. like she asked some type of intimacy , where at the beginning i get it , now after 3 books i didn't care anymore and skipped them because they weren't good IMO,and i hated her anyway for her games of pushing him around when he was also hurt from the wound other than his back problems [they were both into it but not me].
-the last chapters were to rushed like the stuff with her father, we don't get to see how his parents reacted ,how his brothers reacted,it was like, the end all together in an engagement and then wedding...yay,ok but...how about all the stuffs we don't get to see on page.
In a few words a few points in the plot feel incomplete for me.
There is also no epilogue other than the wedding, and it's not enough for me.
I don't know if to read other books by this author
Starting with 5 stars and then get to barely 3 it's scary in a trilogy :(
In the long run i lost interest in them as a couple and i just LOVED LEO, I ADORED HIM AND HIS TROUBLED SOUL. he made all the book for me , i melted for him.

too much pain descriptions almost snuffed out the loving light out of me
the trilogy was worthwhile, albeit the logistics of the plot were sometimes muddy and unconvincing. the couple got my full-hearted support, but they had to go through shit to get there.
I still loved Leo. Still liked Haley. But the constant, never-ending, brutal descriptions of his pain hit everything in me a little too harshly, which took me out of the story. The way they handled the whole situation with Caroline Constantine (or rather didn't handle at all at first) was not understandable for me. It felt like drama and hardship for drama and hardship's sake, when everything could be resolved so much more early and better.
The teasing with other couples (Lucian and Elaine, Daphne and Collector, Hades and Persephone) got me more interested in continuing with their stories, than the one I had at hand, but nevertheless, there's no one else more deserving than Leo Morelli of getting his happy ending.

*****10 STARS***** that's what this book deserves.
"Everyone knows he's the Beast of Bishop's Landing. Violent. Unstable. Dangerous."
I am NOT okay right now. Leo Morelli will forever own my soul. For as undeserving as the beast felt he was, he was the most deserving of them all. My God, the man is a beautiflly broken. He bleeds pain and darkness. He bathes in his sins allowing them to sink him deeper - each day drowning more and more. Leo Morelli had no other choice than to be strong; than to learn to live with the agony and torture that haunts him. It made him a ruthless man who sought pleasure by causing pain. Leo fucked liked the beast he was but he loved just as ferociously. He is my kind of fucked up, emotionally unstable anti-hero who I would gladly sell my soul to have him claim me.
"If Leo Morelli is ruined, so am I."
While I am obviously obsessed with Leo, I cannot leave Haley Constantine behind. I LOVED her. Her loyalty knew no limits. She was kind and forgiving; innocent and courageous. She was the light in Leo's darkness and he was the flame that ignited her fire. Haley Constantine was the only one who could tame the Beast.
Fallen Rose is the third and final book in Amelia Wilde's Beauty and the Beast Trilogy and what a fucking emotional ride it has been. The book consumed me and while I didn't want it to end, I completely devoured it. As the war between the Morelli and Constantine families continue, secrets begin to unravel and unexpected alliances are formed. I loved that Fallen Rose not only gave us a closer and much deeper look into Leo's soul, but it also gave us a look at the relationship between some of the Morelli siblings, especially that of Lucian and Leo- two brothers; one who feels no pain at all and the other who feels intense pain; both dangerous and deprived, both loyal and protective; both in love with a Constantine.
"Everyone knows he's the Beast of Bishop's Landing. Violent. Unstable. Dangerous."
I am NOT okay right now. Leo Morelli will forever own my soul. For as undeserving as the beast felt he was, he was the most deserving of them all. My God, the man is a beautiflly broken. He bleeds pain and darkness. He bathes in his sins allowing them to sink him deeper - each day drowning more and more. Leo Morelli had no other choice than to be strong; than to learn to live with the agony and torture that haunts him. It made him a ruthless man who sought pleasure by causing pain. Leo fucked liked the beast he was but he loved just as ferociously. He is my kind of fucked up, emotionally unstable anti-hero who I would gladly sell my soul to have him claim me.

"I see you for what you are. You're a prince. My prince."
What a perfect conclusion to this Beauty and the Beast trilogy from Amelia Wilde! I have loved Leo and Haley since the first moment we met them and it was such a joy to see them finally get their happy ending. Leo just captured my heart with his tortured back story of how he became a "beast." I just loved his vulnerable side and how he let Haley into his heart. And Haley was so loyal and kind, she really was the perfect balance for Leo's fire. And I really loved how this story was interwoven with the other Midnight Dynasty stories as we had Lucian, Winston and Perry/Keaton sightings all within this book. Highly recommend this dark and steamy fairytale retelling!

I received an arc for a honest review.
MY HEART!!! I'VE BEEN DYING FOR THIS BOOK, and it did not disappoint! I was hook immediately the minute I start the book. I couldn't put it down!! It was the PERFECT conclusion to Leo and Haley's love story. Leo is seriously one of my TOP BOOK BOYRFRIENDS of 2021! If you think you know what's going to happen, think again. I won't say anything besides this because I don't want to share any spoilers.
This have to be my favorite dark retell story of Beauty and the Beast. That ending though!! I'm dying for it!!!

In the third installment of the trilogy, Leo and Haley's love story reaches its conclusion. Despite featuring numerous lengthy and steamy scenes, the overall plot remained strikingly similar to that of the second book.
Fortunately, in the end, all the characters, including Caroline, received their just desserts.
I don't intend to criticise authors, but this felt overly exaggerated.
I dislike unresolved threads and I'm still pondering over the significance of the miniature statue of a rose that had Leo so concerned about Haley seeing it.
And the scenario with a stranger on the phone providing magic happy pills that instantly relieve pain? It all seemed too convenient.
This book left me thoroughly unimpressed; it was so dull that it took me forever to get through it. The series had the potential to be a duet, but instead, the storyline dragged on tediously.
The major disappointment came with the epilogue, essentially serving as an advertisement for the next book.
Part of the Beauty and the Beast Series and must be read in order:

Fallen Rose
(Beauty and the Beast Trilogy #3)
Written by – Amelia Wilde
Let’s raise a glass to the author that can take a Tale as Old as Time, fracture it and give readers a fairy tale where deception, lies and heartache have shown us that Beasts are not born but made at the hands of others.
Let’s applaud a man who talks to Gods and in turn begins to heal himself.
Let’s remember that sometimes the truth may end up moving an enemy to the other side.
From a bargain meant to taunt, to a beauty who has a heart to give, to a vindictive Queen, Author Amelia Wilde has given her readers a trilogy that will draw you in, make you hold your breath, scream at the characters, want to take a hit out on others and have you cry sad and happy tears.
She has given us a man that you want to call you darling and a woman who you cheer for. She’s also given readers a villain we would like to see gone! * poof *
Haley Constantine and Leo Morelli create more steam than a hot humid day in the south! Their relationship runs from a slow burn to red-hot and for them it will always be this way. Walls come down, rescues occur, truths are exposed and when needed heroines appear.
This trilogy will be one that I will read over and over again! Star ratings don’t do Fallen Rose justice because there aren’t enough stars to give to this amazing story. Amelia Wilde’s Beauty and the Beast Trilogy has taken a solid slot in my top 5 books of 2021.
