Ever After
The Beauty Queen…
Once upon a time, a teen beauty queen from Texas gave up her golden crown and her controlling family and married her one true love. Her family disowned her, her husband died and she was left to raise their twin girls alone.
Years later Rebecca married for security and companionship but chose poorly and ended up with a fraud, a cheat and a liar. He died leaving her with nothing but a beautiful stepdaughter, boatloads of debt, a tarnished reputation and a vow never to remarry.
The Prince…
Once upon a time, across the Atlantic, there lived a young prince. His life was anything but charmed. His mother died tragically and his older brothers could do no wrong – in school, in life or in love.
David was not just a member of worlds most well known royal family – he became its most infamous and popular son. But serving his country in wartime changed the prince. Soon he longed for more than endless parties with models on yachts in the Mediterranean. In his last days as a soldier and pilot he was sent on a junket to California.
It was there he met the woman who could change everything …

Talk about a fairy tale with a twist! This is definitely a novella with style, pizazz & flair. Cross had me fully engaged throughout. The story was fast paced and in-depth, while at the same time the novella was a light, enjoyable read that left me with a warm fuzzy feeling.
The characters in this tale were extremely well developed, especially for a novella. The main characters fit so well together and definitely did the story justice. This is definitely a case of chemistry that will make you drool, plus that added bonus that makes a real relationship. The supporting characters were also quite well done. I enjoyed getting to know each of them and what they added to the story.
This was a quick, hot read that I couldn’t put down. Cross has definitely created something well worth reading. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to one and all.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

This is a Sexy, Steamy, Swoon-worthy read with a Cinderella twist.
It is a quick-paced novella that still offers a great message with a fun escape. Because lets face it we all want to find our Prince Charming, it is nice to see a character that has been dealt some crappy things in life and yet still holding her head up high and make the best of her situations with a prince that she doesn't realize is a prince that too has been judged by previous actions and tragedy in his life.
I enjoyed this book and if you like fairy tales, but are looking for a modern, fun flair that is a little on the steamy side, then I highly recommend this book by Rachel Cross.
It is different from the previous Cross books, I have read, but I like this change of pace and hope she continues to surprise us with her next book.

A very sexy fairy tale
What started out as a business meeting, realtor Rebecca Tremaine was all set to show a house to her client. Little did she know it would turn into something much more than an average showing.
David King was a really a prince but didn’t want anyone to know. When he met with Rebecca to see the house he would be staying in, he felt instant attraction. When her car wouldn't start as she was leaving, he decided to help her out. He also helped her right back into the house and into a bedroom.
Widowed by her husband who was a cheat and stole from people, Rebecca doesn't want anything serious. A fling would be perfect for her Then she finds out who David really is......
This novella was fun to read. Sometimes when a book is this short it can seem rushed and important elements can be left out. That is not the case here.

As an avid reader, sometimes I want to hunker down with a huge, engrossing novel that I don’t want to put down. Other times I want to pick up something quick to sort of cleanse my reading palate. If you’re looking for a short, steamy – with a perfectly happy ending – read, this one is for you.

This was a truly phenomenal fairy tale. Once again I have been completely wrapped in a story I never want to end. I could have easily read another hundred pages on this love story of the unlikely. As always these author is one of my top favorites.

I absolutely adored this little gem! I loved that the characters were older and that there was amazing sexual chemistry between David and Rebecca. I want more of these two! Loved it!
