. #romancetakeover - Week 1 - Scarred Hero . DARLING BEAST by ELIZABETH HOYT (MAIDEN LANE SERIES 07) . If only Daffodil, Indio's dog, didn't nearly drown, Lily Stump wouldn't know the goodness of this giant. He is actually Apollo, Lord Kilbourne who was "alienated" at Harte's Folly renovated due to a severe fire. The silent Apollo being persecuted by wardens in Bedlam, holds a myriad of mysteries and creative talents. Apollo was designing a new park for Harte. On the other hand he hid from the people who chased him, both as an escape from Bedlam (he was tailed by James Trevillion) and those who wanted his life. Apollo was accused of killing 3 of his friends while drunk and that's why he was imprisoned in Bedlam for 4 years before being rescued by Duke Wakefield (Read "Lord of Darkness"). . Lily was afraid of this Apollo figure, but due to the enormous trust of Indio, her son, it didn't take long for Lily to see Apollo's kindness. Especially after Apollo saved Indio's life from the ruins of an oak tree. And Apollo managed to talk back after that. Yay !!! But this happiness is short. Apollo must escape again. This time the figure of the gardener vanished, and came the figure of the noble Kilbourne, who was looking for who the real mastermind was. . I love this novel, which based on the "Minotaur" fairy tale or "Beauty and the Beast", basically I like so much. Apollo and Lily's chemistry synergized from the start, helping each other even willing to sacrifice their lives for the happiness of others. . . . #romancestagram #historicalromance #darlingbeast #elizabethhoyt #maidenlane #booksbooksbooks #bookphotography #instabook #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #booksofinstragram #bookgram #readingbooks #ireadromance #romancereader #romancebookaddict #romancebooks #romancenovels #romanceseries #booklover #bookaddict #ilovebooks #ilovereading https://www.instagram.com/p/BzecQ-yhiTr/?igshid=jkxazszgl2hl
