I loved No Prince Charming! It was loosely based on Cinderella, with lots of sexy scenes! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

This was a grea story with great characters. Killian and Claire are great together and they have great chemistry, what better way to get lost in a gairytale. . Victoria Blue and Angela Payne have again made me not want to put a book down. I cannot wait for the next addition in the series so I can keep up with what is going on.

No Prince Charming - Secrets of Stone Book 1 by Angel Payne & Victoria Blue

A sexy romp into a world of money and power with undertones of Cinderella. Fabulous reading.

Claire works for Asher & Associates PR as a social media analyst but when the team are shuffled off to the opposite coast in order to bail out Trey Stone, heir to Stone Global, the last thing she’s expecting is to get hit with a case of infatuation for the head of the company, Killian Stone.

The chemistry that the author is able to develop through words alone is off the charts. Claire & Killian are incendiary and the secrets they each have as well as their covert hookup plays an integral part in the story.

Additional characters such as Claire’s stepmother to be, Andrea Asher and her daughter Margaux are pivotal to the fairytale like back story and play their part well in creating intrigue and tension.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and look forward to more in this series and hopefully a follow up for Killian and Claire.

Definitely recommended reading.

Definitely a sexy read! Claire and Killian will steal your heart. The chemistry was great and it was great to see how their past hurts got them to where they did. Can’t wait for book two because of course the authors left some things unfinished or left questions for me.

I received an early copy from the publisher via Netgalley for a honest review.

This modern Cinderella story comes complete with a soon-to-be stepmother and her wicked daughter. Claire is swept off her feet by her would be Prince Charming, but can't allow herself to fall for him for fear that her secrets will be divulged. Will she ever find happiness?
This first entry in the Secrets of Stone series is worth the risk of losing your glass slipper!

Hot Hot Hot! This book was a super sexy read. The authors did a great job of creating sexual tension between Killian (a guy with this name has got to be hot) & Claire from the first moment they met. And keep the romantic tension going throughout the entire book.

The story line was captivating & kept me reading way late into the night to see what happened.

My only complaint was that it was a little wordy sometimes. But once you get used to the style of writing its not as noticeable.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I loved Claire and Killian's story. A steamy read to warm up this dreary winter!

Insta-Love that solely revolves around sex. The author had potential; just a severe lack of depth. Since I won’t read trashy sex scenes, I found myself skipping A LOT of pages!

Angel Payne and Victoria Blue have created 2 interesting characters in Claire and Killian. Their chemistry is strong but they both have a past that haunts them. While I enjoyed the book I felt that some of the secondary characters were too over the top. I was also dissapointed as the story does not really conclude in this book, rather in the next book in the series No More Masquerade.

I love this series! Claire and Killian have an epic love story. Yes, you are going to want to hit Killian in the head to knock some sense into him. The happily ever after is worth wading through the strong emotions presented in this book.

I received an arc from Netgalley. If you are looking for a love at first site romance this is your book. Once Killian saw and met Claire he knew she was the one for him. Now he had to convince her she was for him.

Killian and Claire need to overcome a lot of obstacles, doubts, and bribery situations. Delve into the story of high powered people, PR life and lots of romance. You won’t be disappointed. 4.5 stars

I could not put this book down.
I feel in love with the character right off the bat and was rooting for Killian and Claire the whole time.
With tons of up and downs and tilt-a-whirls, this book is now one of my favorites.

Claire is a strong independent woman who works for a PR company based out of San Diego, CA. With a new crisis and client Claire, the rest of her team fly off to Chicago to help build back up the reputation of SCG and the Stone family name. Right off the bat, Killian is affected by Claire and vice-versa. He does everything he can do to be near her, But she is resistant and for a good reason, Blackmail. She cant get involved with the one guy he sets her mind and body on fire because of her past. With turns and twist all along the way - Claire tries to push him away, well Killian is pushing for them together.

BEST BOOK EVER!!!

When his brother is involved in a scandal so huge they have to outsource a PR team to fix it, Killian Stone is instantly intrigued by one of the team members, Claire Montgomery. While they both have secrets that should prevent them from being together, they can't fight the chemistry between them. This story is filled with dynamic characters who you love, cheer for, and want to strangle.A wonderful start to a series and I stayed up late to finish once I started reading!

When it comes down to chemistry and the fight of attraction No Prince Charming is oozing with it. Just wow. I love the banter between Killian and Claire. They try and try to fight the sizzling attraction but sometimes its even hotter to just give into it. Killian may be the youngest of the Stones but he is in charge from the very start there is no question to that. I love how he doesn't handle his brother Trey with kid gloves either. Seriously I can't wait to find out more about these brothers. Though I'm getting a bit ahead of myself so let me get to Claire. She is smart and witty with a touch of feistiness. Even though she feels backed up against a wall by her soon to be step sister, Claire doesn't let it stop her. Though she does have trust issues. But how can you not when it comes to the world of PR. This is such a good twist on a more modern Cinderella story. Both Killian and Claire have such strong family bonds and that shines through out No Prince Charming. I really couldn't stand Andrea or her daughter Margaux. But I am intrigued to see where Angel Payne and Victoria Blue take them in future books. Who knows they might just end up being a little loveable. I loved No Prince Charming. It's burns so hot all the way through and I couldn't put this one down.

this story is sort of like a Cinderella re telling but not. Sadly I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would have.

arc received for an honest review, I don't really have that much to say on this one, I just couldn't get into it. I tried several times.

The ending is a cliff-hanger of sorts, so if I was to recommend I would wait till the next one is out if it isn't already.
