“The truth is, I am yours. Wholly. Inexplicably. Painfully. Unconditionally. And if you need to sacrifice my soul so you’re able to live with yours, then do it.”
Prince Tristan Faasa was never destined for the throne. That was always his brother, Michael. The same brother responsible for both Tristan’s tormented childhood and the scar that mars his face. When their father dies, Michael is set to assume the throne, and Tristan is set to steal it. The leader of a secret rebellion, Tristan will stop at nothing to end his brother’s reign. But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of war. The kind that begs the question of what’s more important, the crown or the woman about to wear it. Sara has one plan. Marry the King and eradicate the Faasa line, even at the risk of her own peril. But she never expects the Scarred Prince. He’s dangerous. Forbidden. And one of the men she’s been sent to kill. But the line between hatred and passion has never seemed so thin, and as secrets come to light, Sara grows unsure of whom she can trust—torn between vengeance and the villain she was never supposed to love.
This is nothing “Lion King”. I felt like I had not noticed anything related to the Disney characters. It is more of an embraced reimagining of Hamlet and if anything it would be a prequel to The Lion King, except in this one Mufasa is a cruel vindictive dick who beats on his brother and murdered his father. So said brother wants to get him back where it hurts most…stealing his crown and kingdom. I did not connect this with one as much as I did her first novel, Hooked. Took me a minute to get into it and there were some exciting action scenes and some great smut, but nothing worth recommending.
I have this novel 3.5 stars. I am left underwhelmed, unsatisfied and disappointed that this was not amazing! I loved Hooked, and wanted this one to be just as great – but sadly this one didn’t do it for me. It’s not terrible and I can see why people love this for what it is. It’s a good way to pass the time, the smut was also fine, nothing scary and dark… just a few candle wax drips to excite you!
