Xavier has watched Gwen for years, sneaking outside her window just to watch her sleep. She calls to him in a way he doesn't understand. After he loses his mom and his sister in a tragic accident, he disappears into the woods and lets his wolf take over. Gwen has been waiting around for her knight in shining armor to show up, but years have passed since she reached her mating age, and he still hasn't come. When Xavier makes his way back to Gray Ridge, one scent captivates him like no other... He's on a mission. Claiming Gwen as his mate is all that matters, even if she doesn't remember him. What he isn't prepared for is Alpha Stone keeping them apart. :Warning: This fairy tale contains a hero in desperate need of his sleeping beauty, a heroine who wants to mate with her beast, and an alpha trying to keep it from happening. This is meant to be over-the-top, extra sweet, and lots of fun. Come roll around in it.

Alexa Riley’s books are seriously like crack, and I can never resist gobbling one up anytime there’s a new one out (and I love that she releases SO many, SO fast). Her stories are always so freaking HOT and fun to read – whether it’s contemporary or paranormal, Alexa Riley definitely knows how to write some smut.

Beauty Sleeps is book 2 in the Fairytale Shifter series, but can definitely be read as a standalone. This is Gwen and Xavier’s story, which I’d been looking forward to ever since reading Riding Red (my review). Xavier has been living in the woods, away from his pack, ever since the death of his mother and sister. He’s more wolf than man now, but one whiff of his mate has him ready to do whatever it takes to claim her and give her the perfect life she deserves with him.

I would never harm a single hair on my mate’s head. My life is now dedicated to hers until my last breath.

Gwen is the sister of her pack’s alpha, so to say she’s been protected and sheltered is an understatement. But now that she’s had a chance at a little freedom away from Stone, working at Ruby’s bakery, she’s happy to spread her wings. And when she finally finds her mate in Xavier, she’s not going to let anyone stop them from mating, especially not her alpha brother.

“It was always you. …It was always you, my love.”

I adored this read, as expected. It’s sweet, sexy, predictable, with an adorably sexy alpha hero, and a tough heroine that doesn’t submit easily. If you love quick, sexy PNR reads, you definitely need to give this series a try!

Thanks to the author for generously providing me an ARC to review.
