BLURB
I always believed in fairy tales, but he preferred horrors.
Damian Blackstone didn’t care about my existence. He came into my world for one reason only. He came to find answers about his past.
He moved like the villain in my favorite fairy tales. He wasn’t the one who received the happily ever afters; he was the one who destroyed them.
Which was why I couldn’t understand why the man who raised me set it up in his will for Damian and me to be married. I wasn’t certain I’d be able to live with a man like Damian. We were as opposite as any two people could be. I loved to bathe in the sunlight while he prospered in the shadows.
I didn’t think I’d develop feelings for the one who looked at me as if I were nothing more than a means to an end. Yet in his darkness, sometimes I’d see sparks of light. I’d see gentleness. I’d see his soul.
We became entangled with one another as we fell into mistakes and called them fate. I was his Cinderella, and he was my Beast.
I wasn’t certain that twisted fairy tales ended with happily ever afters.
Still, I was determined to find out.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
I'm always fascinated by arranged marriage stories. The reasons for the marriage always varies, but I think that surprise arranged marriage with a grumpy/sunshine chaser is now my favorite.
If you read Brittainy's book Eastern Lights, you may remember Damian. I finished that book wanting to know more about him, so I am VERY glad that we now have his story! AND as a bonus, we get plenty of Connor and Aaliyah in book...YAY!
Damian and Stella's first meeting was anything but good and that was before they even knew who the other person was. Getting married to someone you don't know is hard, but then make it someone that you don't really like and that makes it even harder.
Stella, being the optimist that she is, doesn't take Damian's grumpiness at face value and tries to make the best of the situation. It takes a little bit, but she manages to breakdown his walls...little by little. And that is when the book really takes off.
This book is so much more than just a story of two people forced to get married. Both Stella and Damian have their baggage and it makes for some very heavy lifting. But between the two of them, they are able to deal with everything that comes their way and more.
