Publisher's summary

Elizabeth just learned she’s a princess, and she’s promised to a prince.

Problem is, the prince is my younger brother.

But this little princess is mine, and mine alone. Screw tradition.

So when I catch her trying to escape, I take matters into my own hands.

I bring her to the dungeon for punishment, and a night she’ll never forget.

Finding out I’m actually a princess was a shock. Finding out there’s a prince who has been waiting to marry me when I turned eighteen? Yeah, that was a shock too.

I’m not exactly princess material, even if I do have the evil sisters and neglectful parents thing going on. My life was supposed to be boring, cruel, and most of all, uneventful.

But all that changed.

I’m taken to a city that shouldn’t exist - a kingdom that shouldn’t exist. It’s a whole new world full of possibility, where teams of servants cater to my every need and my room is at the top-most tower of a palace. It should be perfect. It should be a dream come true.

But my husband-to-be would give a glacier the chills, and one look makes me want to get as far away from this man and this place as I can.

I’m captured during my escape by the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen. He says he is going to make sure I’m “punished” for trying to escape.

I never knew punishment could be so... intimate, or so enjoyable. And I definitely didn’t expect to learn Mr. Tall Dark and Gorgeous is actually a prince too - my husband-to-be’s older brother, in fact.

**This is a full-length, standalone fake marriage romance. No cheating or cliffhangers, and as always, Happily Ever After guaranteed.

Fractured edgy Cinderella Story

The acting is great but the story is so weird it’s hysterical. The heroines life is threatened but instead of fear she’s horny. It’s amusing a modern secretive empire with medieval influences and a corrupt queen and her second son vs. the oldest son. The whole blonde thing was bizarre too. Is that a spoiler? I don’t know. Roark is sexy, the oldest son and heir, the dark one, mysteriously dangerous one. Titian is creepy and blonde. The widowed queen is manipulative and cruel, and Elizabeth, the virgin princess is feisty, strong, and kinky. I was curious because the title was funny to listen. It was entertaining if you focus on the fact that this is fantasy and think about it as a weird fairy tale.

Loved it

I actually lived in suspense. The narrators were amazing and I love joe Arden’s sexy voice. Natalie did an excellent job doing the male and female voice. The book was amazing. Penelope boom you write really good. This was my first book I read from you.

I was pleasantly surprised and a little sad.

I'll be honest with you all, I was expecting smut, and a lot of it. I anticipated a short book with a ton of dirty kinky sex in it. However, that is not what I received. I was pleasantly surprised with the storyline, heck even the fact that there really was a story here. At one point, it even felt like the plot was overtaking the reason I got it, for the kinky sex! There was some, but this book was definitely plot-driven and revolved around this prince and princess working out how to be together with the prince's horrible brother vying to be king. I can't really give a true answer on whether or not you should buy it, it all depends in what you're looking for. But if you're trying to find a dirty book that revolves around kink, this one isn't it.

Such a waist of Joe Arden's voice

I don't understand how you can misuse Joe Arden's hot voice so hard. The book is mostly the female narrator, Natalie Eaton and my goodness she talks like she's reciting a Shakesperian play and its beyond annoying. Not to mention the FMC is horrendously naive and her dialog is just plain cheesy like a kids level Disney princess. I don't understand why the price would actually love her, there's like no connection that seems believable or meaningful. Penolpy Bloom seems to have that problem with most of her novels, you know making the characters demonstrate a meaningful connection. Hence all of her novels are on the shorter side of 4-6 hours. If this is suppose to be for the purpose of erotica, it missed the mark on that one too. There's some brief borderline weak BDSM, but I can't say it was really memorable. Too bad too, the guy on the cover is hot.
