Taken by the Beast and Claimed by the Beast, both published in 2013, represent Natasha Knight’s early exploration of paranormal dark romance. The Beauty and the Beast framework gives her a classic power-imbalance foundation to build from, and her treatment is characteristically darker than the fairy tale source.

For readers interested in Knight’s range beyond mafia romance, this early duet shows her working in fantasy territory with the same intensity she brings to her criminal underworld stories.
