Fallen Rose: Beast of Bishop's Landing Trilogy, Book 3
A**R
Amazing finale. This trilogy is everything!
The epic conclusion to this amazing trilogy was so good and it gave me all the feels, and I was so sad when I reached the last page.I love this characters so much, and they are so close to my heart. I was so excited ro read this book that I managed to finish it in only a few hours, not wanting to put it down. And when I reached the end it was like a part of me was lost forever. I said it, and I’m gonna say it again. Amelia Wilde is a queen and I absolutely adore her and her writing. I am such a huge fan of hers, and I’m gonna make sure that I read all of her work. She has such a unique way with words and always manages to deliver amazing, charismatic and one of a kind characters. One of these characters being Leo Morelli, who owns me completely: body and soul. With the way the second book ended, I had so much anxiety and I was so afraid for what the third book was going to bring. I lOVED this book so much, it had everything I could ever asked for: so much angst combined with love, family and steamy moments.I loved seeing the Morelli family coming together and being there for their brother when he needed them the most, the Morelli siblings have such a beautiful relationship, even though they are such a dysfunctional family.Sometimes you read a character and you instantly wanna be their friend. For me, this character was Haley. My amazing and beautiful girl is exactly what Leo needed in his life. She is so strong, beautiful and kind. I loved seeing her become this powerful woman, who is not afraid to fight for the love of her life. I loved seeing her bringing Leo Morelli to his sense, how she with her beautiful and kind soul, her easy going personality, managed to warm the heart of the most feared Morelli.She took all of his trauma and all of the skeletons from his closet, and gave him back only love and kindness. She is caring, understands what he is and doesn't want to change him. She loves him with all of his flaws and demons. She will go to war with anyone who wants to her her love. I said it and I’m gonna say it again, Leo Morelli owns my heart. That men could tell me to jump, and all I would ask would be how high. He can be my beast everytime he wants.He is the monster in the dark, the Beast of Bishop’s Landing, the big bad wolf, and everyone should think twice before going for his most prized “possession”.He is an amazing character, who despise everything he went through, still finds in himself the power and strength to be good and kind, and help the ones who need it. He proved in this book, just like he proved in the other twos, that there is good in him. That he is capable of love.He would do anything for his sisters and brothers, no questions asked, and he would do absolutely everything in his power to keep Haley safe and sound. I loved every single moment between Leo and Haley, these two are so adorable together it is almost sickening. It is so easy for everyone around them to see that they are in love. In a sick and twisted way they remind me a little of Romeo and Juliet, two souls who despite everything, despite all the hatred that was between their families, they fall in love.Their love is so strong and together they can survive everything, This trilogy is everything, powerful and written like a dream, it is sexy, steamy and edgy, with the perfect amount of angst. I know for sure that I’m gonna re-read it soon because it is so good. And I am so excited to see what amazing books is Amelia going to write next.

Epic conclusion!!!
Fallen Rose is the third and final book of the Beauty and the Beast trilogy and it was everything I hoped it would be!! It was amazing and I didn't want it to end.I was hooked from page one and was on the edge of my seat. Oh, the twists and turns!! I'm not sure who I felt the most for.....Haley for having such a horrible aunt or Leo for the constant pain he was in or not seeing that he truly is a good person underneath the beast(honestly, I love beast mode Leo just as much *swoon*). Both of these characters would do anything for their family, they prove that time and time again. Just as they would do anything for each other. I felt their pain, their fear, their happy and dang that Leo is so deliciously dirty *fans self*, he knows exactly what Haley needs.There was just so much to love about Fallen Rose....especially the cameo appearances of two of my favorite BBFs!!! Gah!!! My heart!!! I cried pure, unadulterated tears of happiness at the end.

Haley gets her Prince.
A great series, the characters really come to life. So happy that Leo and Haley finally get their happy ending. Great story telling.

Very good ending to Leo and Haley’s saga
I didn’t want it to end. Some people would argue how you can fall in love with an anti-hero, but it’s fiction, so what the heck. I loved Leo! Underneath that harsh personality that he showed to everyone, was a damaged person thanks to a horrible and abusive Caroline Constantine. Most of his personality came from abuse from his father as well as Caroline. His day-to-day pain, both physical and emotional took its toll over the years. Thank God for the bright light that was Haley Constantine. Hoping and praying through all three books that these two could get a happy ending made for some very good reading. Very much enjoyed the series, and I now see that there are tons of spinoffs by different authors as well to cover the lives of a lot of these characters that were in this particular series. Looking forward to some more reading about the Constantines and Morellis. .

my favorite so far!
This trilogy has took me from team Constantine to team Morelli! I’ve loved all of the books that I’ve read from the midnight dynasty so far and I’m only stuck on which to read next!

"I see you for what you are. You're a prince. My prince."
"If Leo Morelli is ruined, so am I." I felt this line to my bones. Never have two characters felt more real and connected than these two for me. Amelia took the classic telling of Beauty and the Beast, then brought it to a modern telling unlike any other. Haley comes from the Constantine world, although she doesn't fit in. Her father isn't the wealthy respected Constantine brother. When she trades herself to stand her for him in a deal with Leo Morelli, falling in love with him was the least of what she thought would happen. Now, being separated from him at all is absolute agony. Her family is trying every dirty trick to try and make Leo out to be the monster he's known as and get Haley home, but little do they know that Leo doesn't give up. Especially when it comes to the love of his life. Will they ever let them be together?

HOT but lacking
This trilogy was so steamy and erotic like all of Amelia’s writing. I love the dynamic between Leo and Haley. I have two complaints. First, what’s with the rose statue? He was all antsy about Haley seeing it, which she didn’t, and then it was forgotten about. Second, the “magic pills” that miraculously cure his pain at the end? Reading reviews, I see that Hades had his own book before this, so maybe that issue (and even the rose?) is addressed then, but if this trilogy is meant as a standalone, it really needs to be explained. The rose felt like forced point to better align with Beauty and the Beast, and the pills felt like a huge crutch. Otherwise though, big fan as always.

I love beauty and the beast retellings
This trilogy was heartbreaking tragic and so beautiful to read. I loved this story so much, just like the rest of the books written by the Dangerous Press authors. I can't wait to read the rest. ❤️

Leo Will Forever Own My Soul
I think the title says it all. Leo Morelli is that book boyfriend we all need. It’s crazy to think these books were just sitting there waiting for me and then bam! I found them and I’ll never be the same. I have these three on kindle and in paperback and they’ll be my favourite books for a long time to come I’m sure.

Loved it!
This book kept me on heightened alert as the story continued. I experienced a range of emotions as I was anticipating what would happen next and was not disappointed and having read it multiple time still enjoy it. There are some heart wrenching moments that made me reflect and consider what people can need in challenging times and how easy it can be to pass judgment if it doesn't meet perceived expectations.The characters are well developed, and I continued to care about Haley and Leo although grappled with some of his actions while convinced they stemmed from love.I have now read others set in the Midnight Dynasty World and will read others, but know that I will be re-reading this again.

Enjoyable
Fallen Rose is the last book in the Beast of Bishop's Landing series and gives us the conclusion to Leo and Haley's story.I found this book a bit confusing as I struggled to link this Leo to the Leo in K Webster's Skyscraper Cinderella and also Caroline was like a completely different person to the one in Jade West's StarCrossed Lovers Trilogy but that is probably just my opinion. The story seemed to drag for the most part but I really enjoyed the last 25%.As a series though it was good and I'm looking forward to reading more of the Midnight Dynasty World books.

Please note you must read this trilogy in order, with this being the final book.
PHROAH what an ending to a trilogy!! Way too much happened into this third book that I found myself needing breaks to be like "Whaaattt!". And yes, I have purchased Hades & Persephone by Amelia after reading this book ;)Fallen Rose picks up right where Hidden Beauty left off. Haley is gone. They have taken her. And worse? Her brother helped. Leo Morelli will stop at nothing to get Haley back, even if it means getting his older brother Lucian involved.Haley meanwhile learns who the true monster of the Morelli & Constantine families are and it isn't a Morelli! As Caroline keeps trying to spread rumours into her mind, she knows her love for Leo is real & she doesn't let it go. When Leo finally rescues her, he isn't just rescuing her from the monster but from herself too as she truly learns in that moment who she is & what/who she wants.Leo & Haley have a connection like no other. Everyone around them sees it, & I was so relieved that they finally decided to see it. It does take a while to them to fully let each other in, but when they do it is worth it & they become an unbreakable force. Until the monster strikes again.I did get mad at Leo & how he reacted in pushing Haley away. He finally opens up himself, to only close it & push her straight back into the monsters arms. Thank goodness he has a great supportive family & Haley isn't quitter when it comes to someone she loves.This trilogy ends nicely. I did find the third book did have a little too much back & forth though. As mentioned, I did have to put it down & step away a few time for a breather. But all in all, I adore Amelia's writing & enjoyed it.4/5 stars with 4/5 steam.
