What a fantastic story. I don't often go through the gamut of feelings reading romance novels but this one brought out love, anger, frustration, disgust, happiness, heartbreak, intrigue, and tears to match them.

The characters have my heart.... I can't wait to read the next in the series. Killian needs an heir.....

No Prince Charming is a feisty, seductive, enticing read from Angela and Victoria.

Claire and Killian have intense chemistry from the first time they meet. The looks they give each other are panty dropping hot. The sexual frustration thru out the book is phenomenal.

The book has me just begging for more, but the secrets each keep is heartbreaking and all I want was a happy ending. I can not wait for book 2, because I know it is gonna be worth while.

This book was great, loved the chemistry and the relationship between Killian and Clair. It took me a few chapters to get into the book, but once I did I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read the next book.

Amazing! Sexy electricity between a "clean up" public relations team member and the head of the corporation she is hired by. There are so many secrets and dangers surrounding their interaction will they risk it or will they ignore it? So many questions, so many answers, it leaves you wanting more.

No Prince Charming is a sweet, sexy, modern take on Cinderella.

Claire is the Cinderella in this tale. She's a hardworking woman who works for Asher & Associates, the PR firm her dad's girlfriend runs. When she meets her Prince Charming, aka as Killian Stone, it's unfortunate that he's just hired Asher and Associates to clean up his big brother's image, and that her wretched stepsister, Margaux, has already called dibs on him. But, it isn't Margaux whom Killian wants. No, it's beautiful Claire who captures his interest. And he pounces, in clearly hot fashion.

This modern Cinderella take is pretty amazing. Claire and Killian are so sexy together and Killian is divine. He's sweet, he's sexy and he's alpha without being OTT about it. I can't wait to read the conclusion to Killian and Claire's story now!

This is the first book in the Secrets of the Stone series and it is off to a good start. The book is a modern day fairytale. Claire works for an emergency p.r. team that gets hired to clean up messes. They are hired by Killian Stone, gorgeous millionaire, whose brother has found himself in some hot water. Both Claire and Killian are attracted at first sight but cannot act on it. Can they keep their distance?

This book is well written with well rounded characters. The ending is a little predictable, but it is still a good read. I'm looking forward to the next book!

I got pulled into this book right from the start. Clair and Killian both have secrets in their past that prevent them from trusting anyone with their heart or secrets. The roller coaster ride that this book takes you on keeps you guessing all the way to the end. Clair is fighting her attraction to the super sexy Killian while trying to stay off the radar of her soon to be evil step sister.

I have read a couple of other books by Angel Payne and really like her style. Victoria Blue is new to me but I will be looking for more work by this author. Highly recommend this book and will be looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This book is about Claire and Killian! Claire works for a PR firm and will soon be working with her soon to be stepmother and stepsister! Well the stepsister has already warned Claire hands off!! Killian is mine!! So as you must think its definitely gonna lead to a lot of problems lol! Killian is attracted to Claire and even though Claire is fighting that attraction Killian will not be stopped!! Its definitely a hot, angsty,heartbreaking and heartwarming with humor throughout! Its a fast paced hot sexy funny read! The main problem I had is that the book doesn't end here! I don't like series unless its different characters! Its not a bad cliffy but it definitely does not end with this book! Thank you netgalley and the publishers and author for sharing this book with me!!

I didn't hate this book, but I didn't love it either. I won't be reading any more in the series anytime soon. It wasn't a bad story, and the writing wasn't bad either. The overall book was just blah.

4 Star Review of No Prince Charming (Secrets Of Stone #1) by Angel Payne & Victoria Blue
The first book in the Secrets of Stone series and it is off to a good start. If this series is not on your TBR list then I suggest that you add it. This was a fast paced book, full of secrets; a fun and quirky take on Cinderella.
From the start I was entranced by Killian Stone and I was excited to see who the woman who would capture and hold his attention would be; Claire Montgomery did not disappoint.
Claire is a member of a PR team that has been called in to clean up the image of Stone Global Corporation. She has her own secrets, ones that she is determined will not be exposed.
Claire finds herself attracted to Killian and when you throw in the fact that Killian is enthralled with Claire, complications are sure to arise. Killian too has his secrets which he is bound and determined to keep, but all is not as it seems, despite the confident persona that Killian shows the world.
No Prince Charming is smoking hot and certainly delivers on the sizzle.Told in dual POV’s it will spark your interest and keep you entertained. Both Ms.Payne and Ms. Blue obviously work well together as it was impossible to determine who wrote what.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

This book was a good book, my only complaint is that you knew where the book was going. You knew Clair was going to fall for Killian from the very beginning and you knew Margeaux was going to be an annoying princess, but this book still held a lot of humor and I loved how independant Clair was, yes she couldn't resist Killian, but lets me honest, none of us probably could either:-) This is a great quick read and I would definitely recommend it!

This book is just sorry but I'm speechless . No Prince Charming is mind blowing addicting and so full of tension you can feel it running off the pages. Killian and Claire are just perfect for each other favorite quote "His stare was hypnotizing, drenched in countless layers of dark intensity." The last word describe the book correctly Intense I Really can hardly wait to read book 2 No More Masquerade

ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

Loved these authors writing style & have added them both to my ever growing TBR list !! Both new authors for me !!

Killian & Claire ❤️❤️ What to say other than they are perfect together & their love story is pretty perfect too...

This book has everything about romance that makes a feel good story - 2 amazing characters - funny/ sweet / sexy / sassy dialog - sexy off the charts chemistry 🔥🔥 - oh & did I mention the cute nicknames - I’m a sucker for nicknames !!

I did not want this story to end & would love to see Kil & Claire’s story continue in the same city ( no more commuter relationship for them ) & maybe a little one on the way ....❤️❤️

Killian is very much a Prince Charming - to Claire’s Fairy Queen 👑!!

Best HEA - 5 Star Read !!

I laughed, I sighed, I had a good time reading No Prince Charming. Angel Payne and Victoria Blue kept me totally amused from beginning to end with this charming but angsty story. Of course, it helped that Killian Stone was uber alpha, romantic and on a mission.

Clair … insecure, smart, socially awkward. With nothing but betrayal in her past, she has no idea what gives Killian Stone the idea that she would be open to anything with him. Besides, Margaux made it clear, right from the beginning, that she will do whatever it takes to be on his arm. She’s not one to rock the boat especially since Margaux will soon be her step-sister. She has a job to do, a job she does well, and that’s all that is going to happen. Or, so she thinks.

Killian is determined. Determined to bring the good name of Stone out of the spotlight. His brother Trey has done it again but, this time, it could cost him some jail time. He can’t do anything but bring in Asher and Associates to clean up this mess. As long as they didn’t find the dirtiest secrets his family has, all will be well. Until she walked in and his world tilted on it’s axis.

I loved No Prince Charming. It was fun, it was romantic. It had a bitch, a bitchier bitch and a man that knew how to love a woman but not how to be in love with a woman. It was fast paced and interesting. The chase was exceptional and the ending was just as it should have been. I loved watching Magaux be put in her place, I hated what she did to Claire and adored watching the mighty Killing fall. Written with an extraordinary sense of humor and fluidity, Angel Payne and Victoria Blue gave us interesting characters, an exceptional storyline and true romance.
