Blurb
Rapunzel isn’t the stereotypical Damsel in Distress. Her Bad-Boy Prince Charming is a renowned mercenary, and their Happy Ending plays out like a bad movie. However, she is determined to breakout from her tower prison—love be damned—and do it in a fabulous pair of heels. *** Gunned down by the Mercenary, the deadliest assassin in The Badass Archives, isn’t exactly Rapunzel’s end-game. Falling for him isn’t either, but his Rated-R demeanor is strangely charming. Even though most girls wouldn’t fall for their captors, Rapunzel isn’t like most dames. Her major girl-boner for the Mercenary is so pathetic it verges on cliché. Yet, in spite of his appeal, Rapunzel must escape before she’s locked away in the Château de Immortelle’s highest tower—forever.

Review
I was given book for honest review. This story drew me in from the beginning. Zel knows the significance of her locks to herself but she is in the dark about what makes her so special. Being branded all she wants is out but Flynn makes her want to fight if only so she can get her hands on him. Action packed to the very end. A not to be missed retelling of Rapunzel that fires the imagination.
Excerpt: Mr. Tall, Dark and Deadly beckoned me like he was a
manifestation ripped from my fantasies. A girl in my position shouldn’t have
appreciated the ripped stature of his torso, the curvatures of his arms or how
his black shirt stretched over his broad chest. The way he filled out his pants
surely teased everyone who had an x-chromosome. R-rated thoughts played over
and over in my mind. If he hadn’t been sent to kill me, I might have made a
move.
Nevertheless, after a solid minute of not blinking, our
provocative staring contest started to freak me out. His gaze was hypnotic yet
startling. His intelligence was glaringly obvious, but so was his noxious
disposition. It was damn unsettling and the standoff had to end sometime.
Therefore, I faced my impending doom by walking into the glow of the street
light. As soon as the light hit my face, the wind picked up. I shivered.
Taryn’s presence swirled around me like she was an element of the sky instead
of a sorceress who could control it. Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself
she was miles away.
I cleared my throat so that my voice wouldn’t crack. “I’d rather
die than be her prisoner.”
He smirked. The smile almost reached his eyes.
“That’s your choice, Rapunzel,” he said, just before he pulled the trigger.
Bio: I specialize in dark, paranormal romance - think "happy
ever after" but with a twisted, dark chocolate center. Real-life romance
isn't only filled with hugs, kisses, bunnies, and rainbows. True-love can be
more thoroughly described in times of darkness and tribulation. It's in those
harsh moments where you see what a person is truly capable of - both the good
and bad. Sometimes prince-charming isn't always on time, and the glass slipper
is a little snug. However, it doesn't mean Charming is not Mr. Right, and who
says every shoe is the perfect fit?
