Fairy Tale Heat #3
Rapunzel and the Dark Prince
It gets pretty lonely, spending your entire life in a tower. The Witch told me she was keeping me safe from a dangerous world. But one day, when I let down my hair, the Witch wasn't the one to climb up.
His presence was so overwhelming; his hands steady on my back, his lips and tongue marking me forever with the taste of a man. I was used to being alone a lot of the time, and wandering around the tower sort of aimlessly, trying to decide what to do once the chores were done.
Now his mouth was telling me what to do and oh, it was good. I would say it was a relief, but it was a lot more than that.
Prince Dorin of Yirvagna, from the darkling lands, is tall and dark, with horns and a tail...and the first man I've ever seen in my life. He tells me I'm his bonded mate and I must come with him, and if I'm not so sure about this (admittedly charming) prince, the Witch's plans for me are worse. And when Prince Dorin stands in her way, her retaliation is swift. I taste freedom for the first time at the cost of Dorin's eyesight...but can I find a way to lift his curse?

Okay, fairy tale smut is officially complete. 😃
This is the retelling of Rapunzel, the evil witch and Flynn. Flynn is actually played by Dorin in this particular book and he's a demon prince. Think horns, muscular body, forked tail and all.
And oh my, what he does with the tail makes me rethink demon princes. 🤔😜 hahaha
The book was okay. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing either, kind of like the other books in the series. I don't really expect great or amazing when the book is only 151 pages.
Would I recommend this series to others? ONLY if you like smut, fairy tales and quick reads that don't really dive that much into characterization.
Over and out GR buddies!

This is a novella that is essentially fairy tail erotica. I've always thought Rapunzel would be a bit clueless after she leaves her tower, and this book was pretty funny in how naive Rapunzel is. Also her prince is in lust with her, but she gets on his nerves with her optimism and naivety. There were parts that made me laugh, and that will always up my opinion of a book. I'd recommend this for fans of Ruby Dixon.

This book kind of disappointed me. I thoroughly enjoyed the previous two books in this series, but this one just wasn't my cup of tea.
I found myself really not liking Dorin and Rapunzel. Rapunzel, while I understand was meant to be extremely naive because of her upbringing, came off as not having a brain in her head at all. She also cried too much. Dorin, frankly, seemed to like her about as much as I did. The chemistry was just not there.
At one point, Rapunzel begins to cry and Dorin actually strikes her across the face to get her to stop. It is said that he didn't hit her hard, but the fact that he hit her at all was extremely offputting. Then, shortly after, Rapunzel is asking all sorts of questions about her new life at court, and he shuts her up by sticking his dick in her mouth.
....this does not endear him to me.
I still plan on reading the next book in the series because the author impressed me with the first two, but this one just ain't it.

DNF when the hero slapped the heroine in the face. Not sure what Foxglove was thinking when those words went on the page

Okay, so Rapunzel is simple. She's innocent and sheltered. I'm okay with that. I thought her little pig candies and stuffed crow was cute. I thought her beating the prince with a broom was amusing. I thought her outlook was sweet. And FYI, having a chatterbox would be USEFUL to a blind person, not annoying.
And I REALLY liked the premise. The witch being the one stealing the Rampion? The witch getting too old, and having to 'give her to someone else'? HIGHLY unusual and interesting take on things.
But then she left the tower and everything got stupid. He was a complete jackass, she was beyond immature, and the story completely fell apart with the turn the characterization took. And it got to the point where I couldn't stand it, anymore. Sorry.

I really tried to finish... but I just couldn't care about anything happening in this story. If they were both eaten by the snow dragon I would have been fine with it. I should have been able to push through the last 40 something pages to see how it ends, but Nope... just Nope. They were both very whiny and TSTL. I tried to be patient... but I just hated them. I can suspend reality and look past a lot of things. But these two didn't even seem to like each other... and they talk about life altering sex, but there is none to be found here. I liked the first two books well enough and will still try others in the series.

Okay, im confused. Was this supposed to be a romance at some point? Not to mention how annoyed he was with her. Like All the time!
He even used violence because to stop her from tearing up. O.O It was a shock. The whole story till about the middle part (where i stopped) was off. He didnt like her, he only wanted her for one thing. Is he really so much better than the other king who bought her? She even said that she slept with because she was his mate and had NO CHOICE. Wow. I havent read such a horrorshow in a loooong time.

Not as Good as the Others
Having read all of the author’s other works, I found this one to be slow moving. It’s as if there wasn’t enough content to be an entire novel. And there were aspects introduced like the King of the Northlands that could have been very well developed but were left unfulfilled. If you are a great fan of the author, you would enjoy the writing style. Otherwise, take a pass on this one.

Astrid’s Description: Rapunzel has a sex with a demon prince.
This novel was pretty good, though it needed more editing. There were problems with the author contradicting herself. For example we get this description of Rapunzel’s bed: “I slept under piles for fur scraps, atop a mattress of feathers stuffed into several layers of thin cotton sewn together.” No mention of a frame of any sorts and later Rapunzel says “…I guess it doesn’t look much like the beds in books” plus the prince mumbled about how people called his people “barbarians”. All of this leads me to believe that there was no frame. she slept on a mattress on the floor. The witch never gave or made Rapunzel a proper bed. But then later it says that he coils her hair around the bedpost. So which is it? Did the witch put in just enough effort to give Rapunzel a bed frame, but then couldn’t be bothered to give her a proper mattress or did Rapunzel sleep on the floor and the author messed up when says the prince wrapped the hair around a bedpost?
Another example of a description mistake: “…and stroked my thigh beneath my dress… that wasn’t enough for him; he found the hem of my dress and shoved his hand under it, before repeating the same caress…” he was already under it, how did this get missed?
I also found a few “my” instead of “by” problems. So grammar and spelling, not so great, but the story in general was good.
The author was creative in how she changed the story around. For example, as I mentioned earlier, the prince is a demon-like as in he has horns, is dark skinned, has a tail, etc. My biggest problem with an otherwise great character, was that he never really accepted Rapunzel for who she is. He made several comments about how she was going to have to change, sometimes even making the comments at odd times.
As for Rapunzel, she was perfectly innocent. The wonder and naivete that would be in a girl raised in a tower was absolutely there. She questioned how things worked and had to learn a lot.
Overall, I am not upset I read this book, though I do wish a little more effort had been put into editing.

For a short little erotic fairy-tale retelling, Rapunzel and the Dark Prince wasn't a bad read, but I feel like the premise could have certainly worked out in a more expanded book/series far more effectively, which is probably the book's major fault--it's so short that even its best ideas are just touched upon. I also wanted Dorin to be sweeter to Rapunzel. He wasn't exactly awful to her or anything, but he definitely would have done better with a sweeter disposition since the book is so short and every sentence and action and thought matters a lot more than if a book it 300-600 pages long. Generally I have mild, but positive, feelings about this. Since I needed a little standalone to even out my reading challenge before diving back in with a series, this was a suitable little read.
If you're after some generally nice, worthwhile erotica with a fairy-tale-esque flavor and nice writing, this will certainly satisfy that! There are about four or five moderately detailed scenes featuring a "darkling" prince (which is basically human-ish with golden-sheen skin, dark hair/eyes, horns, a tail, and sharp teeth) and a naive, virginial heroine. The book is split into two first-person POVs for our two leads.
As of November 9th 2017, this book is free on Kindle (which is why I bought and read it) but the overall series this book is in is free on Kindle Unlimited and all the books are at or below 200 pages, so they were quick reads.
I wouldn't give this especially high praise, but it's hard to really poke at any flaws since I think that, if the author had spent more time developing the story, this could have been a very nice erotic fantasy-romance. I can't tell if the shortness of the book is a deliberate choice by the author to appeal to people who look for short erotic works or if she's caught between her desire to write something very grand and her inability to do so for whatever reason.
(Also, Rapunzel is said to have blonde hair in the book but the cover art features a brunette lol)

Five stars for making me laugh until I cried! And for making me go "Awww!" more than once.
It took me longer to get through this book than the others. I did also avoid reading it until I'd gotten through 5 others in the series. I was afraid it would be too rote, that I could see what was coming, and wouldn't like how it ended.
I was wrong! So wrong to doubt Foxglove!
I can't explain all the things I laughed at in this story -- Foxglove has shown her wit and humor in many of her stories, but she really cuts loose in this one! I loved Rapunzel; adorable, un-socialized, stream of consciousness non-stop talker that she was. I will never look at a marzipan pig in the same way ever again. ROTFL
I do wish the finale was a little more rounded off. Tying in the tears from the original was perfectly done, but I just mean that we never Would have liked to learn where Rapunzel really came from, etc., but maybe another book might be in the works? (oh, pretty please, please, yes!) With the King of Northland? There's several fairy-tales that could be mined for that one...
Some of the writing was confusing, but that was likely due to editing more than anything. If Foxglove ever asked fans to beta-test a story, I would be up for that!!!
All around a nice fleshing out of this story. Dorin having to find a way to deal with his curse, and the expectations of the court, and Rapunzel having to face the world and real malevolence all made this a good read. And the humor, did I mention that?!?

WHAT WORKED: I felt like I was just plopped vividly into the heads of the lead characters (M/F), and man, oh man, Lidiya Foxglove does that well. The forests, cities, and story came alive off the page for me. Visualizing, is extremely easy in this tale. The plot twists are refreshing, even if some of the foreshadowing was a little in-your-face obvious, and other foreshadows slipped my mind entirely. There's a sweetness between the characters that were made all the more human by Ms. Foxglove's great writer's skillset. I love her storytelling voice.
WHAT NEEDED WORK: The length was a lot longer than I expected, given that the other books in this series are much shorter. I felt like this was a 2 book series put into one volume. There were a lot of pace issues for me, where things sometimes went fast, and other times they were very slow. This frustrated me to no end. I'm a read-in-one-day kind of gal, and for some reason I didn't get any warning from any of the handful of reviews I read either.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: Read this when you have time to pause between chapters, if you can stand some very long-game foreshadow action going on. It's more of an actual fairy tale than Ms. Foxglove's usual saucy fare, so keep that in mind if you're expecting a dirty romp out of the gate: because it ain't gonna happen. This is a book for the patient. I'm not patient until I re-read things. But if you like this book, you'll enjoy the rest of the Fairy Tale Heat series, although none are quite as long as this tale.

It was a great story and all but there was some things I didn't really like. Dorin seemed kind of mean and it looks like he didn't really care about rapunzel and only wanted her for sex, he also didn't seem to like who she was as a person very much. He was always talking about how she talked to much and from the beginning of the book was always finding ways to shut her up by putting something in her mouth. Also the first times they have sex it kind of feels like rape cuz rapunzel is like a 10 year child; she didn't even know how a man and woman's body joined. The book also had some spelling and grammar errors but oh well... a full star out of the three star I rated the book goes to how the author made rapunzel keep her hair in the end. In the rapunzel I read and watched, tangled, rapunzel looses her hair and I never really liked that. My overall rating is a three star maybe three and a half. The book is great if you want to read a quick standalone book.

Wonderful, as per usual!
Being sick and bedridden for the past few daeen reading a lot. I've read 3 of these books in the past 24 hours alone, and I love them. Rapunzel's naivety was captured wonderfully here. I giggled a lot about "politely biting off ears" of animal-shaped candies. I'll admit to some confusion though. Was the king of the northlands actually under a curse? If so, what was it and did getting Jarvin's daughter break it? Was it really true love that restored Dorin's sight, or did Rapunzel have this healing power inside her all along like the Tangled Rapunzel did? Why was Rapunzel's hair enchanted in the first place, and why did seem so coveted? I didn't get a sense that these questions were really addressed very well. All in all though, the tale was lovely and I'm eager to read the next.

Fun and sexy reimagined fairytales in an interconnected universe.
Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...
1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.
2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.
3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.
4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.
5 stars... I loved this book! It has earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

Rapunzel has always been a very strange story, but also kind of sexy (or at least sexual) since by the time the witch discovers that the prince has been visiting, Rapunzel is pregnant. I liked how closely this story stuck to the original fairytale, including the prince being blinded, while also adding enough context and detail to make the story make more sense and add other layers of complexity to the plot. Rapunzel is also an interesting character to me, since she is necessarily a little naive or at least not very worldly, which impacts her relationship with the prince. I really liked how this dynamic was handled in this story, and generally the depth of characterization for both Rapunzel and the prince. I highly recommend it to fantasy romance fans who enjoy steamy fairy tale retellings.

This was the first book that I've read by Lidiya Foxglove. I LOVE fairy tale and retellings. They are my favorite kind of romances to read. When this book became free for a day or so on Amazon, of course I jumped on it. It was pretty good; a feel-good fairy tale-type romance with a happy ending. There was sex in it, and I thought the initial encounter was a bit fast, but based on the world-building, I understood that it was plausible. It was an interesting spin on Rapunzel, and not the Disney version. It's a bit more Brothers Grimm. It was a nice read; not a bad way to spend some time if you want to read something light with a happy ending...but that also offers some steaminess. I can't wait to read this author's other works.

Cover/Title: I love fairy tale re-tellings so this book drew my attention pretty quick.
Characters:Rapunzel is naive but that is the way she should be after being trapped in a tower all her life. Dorin is an ok character but I wish there had been a bit more character building there.
Plot: I loved that the story expanded further after she was rescued from the tower. The dragon was a nice addition to the story. I would have loved to know if the other king was really a troll.
Overall: This was an interesting version of Rapunzel. I only wish that it would have been longer. There was so much more potential to be had here.

Another great retelling from this author
I’ve already read 2 books in this series prior to this once and I’ve loved them all. I always enjoy reading a steamy retelling of a classical fairy tale. Fairy tales for adults 😉 Rapunzel was very naive and immature but it was done in a cute way I think. She had no contact with anyone growing up except the Witch and she never seemed to know when to stop asking questions which made me chuckle. Entertaining story with plenty of steamy and a happily ever after

It wasn't bad. The beginning was interesting enough to keep me reading; I was intrigued by the King of the Northlands idea. I am familiar with the original story of Rapunzel, which was incorporated, if briefly. I was kind of disappointed with how the KotNLs plot turned out; the Witch was vague over the details. My main question was: Why does the curse require him to have a girl with such long hair? That was never answered. Other than that, it was okay. Wasn't my favorite retelling of Rapunzel, but it was definitely better than some others I have read.

I was in it for the fun and I did have fun after all. It's funny and steamy and definitely intended for mature readers, but I like it that way. It somehow captured the parts where Rapunzel is naive, stubborn, yet curious. However, I expected more from the story in a sense that I wanted to see what would happen to the Witch, to other characters, etc. But if you're up for a steamy, fairy tale retelling, Foxglove is my go-to.

I enjoyed the fairytale flow of the story, it reminded me of the old gothic tales, but with sex. It was fun to have a heroine who was so clueless, but quick. I especially liked that she didn’t back down but she didn’t have to turn everything into a big fight or grudge. Dorin was an enjoyable character too, equal parts strong and vulnerable, but most importantly, the hero that defeats the villain.

All right. I understand the approach of making Rapunzel naive and sheltered, but the difference in maturity between her and her prince was honestly a bit disconcerting. It was like she was a child in a woman’s body which made their physical relationship feel not okay. Sure, it gets a bit better later on but I was still uncomfortable with their interactions. Plus, the prince didn’t particularly care for her personality in the beginning either and didn’t feel any buildup of actual romance.

First of all-The cover is bad. Where is her long hair? Why is it brown?
Second of all- Everyone in the Prince’s kingdom is an asshole.
She literally lived all her life in a tower! Show some freaking compassion! They just expect her to know everything and act like a princess immediately?
The freaking Prince! He literally pounced on her as soon as they met! And he smacked her when she was overwhelmed and started to cry! No matter how sweet he was to her the other times, I did not like him.

Very interesting
Very interesting remake of Rapunzel. She didn't know anything about nothing but she was quick to open her legs for the prince. But I would too from the sound of him and the pleasure he could give. There was some interesting characters in this book. Lovely story loved the ending.

Oh my!
Make no mistake, this novel is erotica. But between the sex scenes, which were many, I quite enjoyed this Rapunzel tale with her brave prince, who was a bit unusual.
I really liked the magic aspect.
Reader Rated for ages 18+ for graphic sex; also contains moderate language.
