Publisher's summary

Villains don’t get happily ever afters, do they?

I have a glorious past full of achievement and renown. I mean, I feel like I must, right? The problem is, I can’t remember it. I can’t even remember my own name. I was found in a river, body mangled and face scarred, with nothing to identify me besides a single embroidered letter.

My memory is a murky blur, but I have a quest, one that will give me back everything I’ve lost. The voice in the water told me so. But the voice seemed to miss a few important highlights—namely the woman who challenges me at every twist and turn of my journey. The woman who tells me I’m a villain. The woman who becomes every fervent whisper of my heart, and every last thought in my head.

If I can complete my quest and recover what I’ve lost, she’ll see we’re meant to be.

Lily's Note: Sometimes falling from a great height can lead to a whole new life. This is a full-length standalone fantasy romance. Let your imagination run wild about who G is and just how wide his evil streak can be (hint: massive.)

"Everyone has a little bit of wickedness inside them…some more than others. And ‘G’, as he is known, a selfish oaf who thinks of no one but himself, is plenty vile. But there is still something about him you just love. Lily Archer did a fantastic job bringing this well-known fairytale villain to life with sarcastic and flirty banter, romance, and plenty of turns and surprises." (Tiffany Roberts, USA Today best-selling author)

Great story!

So good! The story is well written and there was enough adventure and romance in it to keep me entertained. G’s arrogance and lack of morals leads to quite a few laugh out loud moments. Based on the clues, is G Gaston from Beauty and the Beast? I’m definitely looking into what else this author has written. The narrator did a fantastic job as well.

Loved the epilogue 😂

Not too bad a of a story and actually fits in the world of ACTOR. Gaston was, however, far too sappy for me. His character development was basically instant and over the first girl he meets. I did love their banter and definitely loved the epilogue nudge at Belle and the Beast 😂

Not to be missed!

When we first meet G, his face is severely scarred, he has no memory of who he is or even where he comes from. On the brink of death, he makes a bargain with someone he's never seen. The way this book starts, I was not expecting anything that happened later in the story. I really got swept away into G's story and his reluctant friendship with Charles. So many twists and quite a few shocks. Some scenes, oh my, I did not realize how deliciously filthy G could be. A few scenes absolutely broke my heart and had me sobbing. I wish I could experience it as a new read all over again. What an amazing book!
I previously read this one & loved it so much I had to have the audio as well. Stephen Dexter did a fantastic job with the characters. I felt every single emotion that Lily Archer wrote into G & Charlie through Stephen's performance.

A story I didn't know I needed but I did!

The narrator did an amazing job and truly captured Gaston along with providing a different side. It was so much fun and I enjoyed this journey. I highly recommend it to all Disney adults and true Beauty and the Beast fans.
