Blackmailed by the Beast by Sam Crescent My rating: 3 of 5 stars Boy wants girl Girl get's forced into marriage Girl eventually falls in love with boy. Toss in blackmail, a hateful family, and a little twist. You have Blackmailed by the Beast . The boy in this case, Wayne is an older man who is filthy rich. The girl, Lily, is much younger and treated like crap by her family. Forced to do the cooking and cleaning while they still go out spending money they don't have and going more and more in debt. They treat her like a slave and call her down constantly because of her size. In order to clean up the family money problems and outstanding debt Wayne offers to pay all of it off and keep them comfortable if Lily agrees to become his wife. And if she doesn't he will see them ruined. Very quick read, great for anyone who doesn't have much time to spend on getting invested in a story. View all my reviews

On top of seeing his view on their relationship, we get his story out side it and other key moments in his life..... we get to know Will. We get his turmoil, his inner war that takes place. We are given the chance to see his struggl...
