This book was steamy, emotional, fun, and suspenseful! I need to get the first book in this series. Great experience reading Susan Stoker for the first time.

Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for the arc of this book.

This book is a winner! Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with the characters as they came alive on the page. This a wonderful twist on a retelling of the classic Cinderella. Cal is the most unprincely prince ever - almost an antiprince, while June is the beaten down step looking for a way out of her miserable existence. When they meet, something sparks inside of them. However, like any true Cinderella, she has the evil stepmother and stepsister who won't take no for an answer.

Put this at the top of your must read list. The author is on my must read authors' list and, if I could give this book more than five stars, I would.

Another great addition to this series. We finally get the princes story. He was tortured while a pow because they found out he was a prince. But now he has his own company with the friends he was in captivity with. June was living in the house her father wanted her to have before he died, but her step-mother and step-sister were pains in her butt and treated her like crap. There's plenty of danger, deceit and manipulation. But Cal was bound and determined to make her his. There are life and death moments coming. HEA.
