This book was ok, but not really what I expected. I had hoped for more of the fairy tale and less drama. The biggest conflict in the book is that she lies about an orgasm. Other than that the characters were great and the romance steamy, but the storyline was just blah.

Like the rest of her "Fairy Tale" series, the fairy-tale-retelling aspect is q...
Gowan is 22-year-old Duke of Kinross, who works desperately to set aright the chaos left on his estate by his drunken mother (who abandoned the family and left him to care for an illegitimate half-sister) and his debauched and irresponsible father. Every waking moment of his day is rigorously schedu...
