There is like 50 stories in this Antho. Sor far, very, very few of these have been quality work. I'll review those I find either an above average story or way below.
3 Stars. Tempted by the Biker by Cyndi Faria This wasn't really very MC bikerish and was, not unexpectedly, instalove to some degree (the guy goes for the I Love You the first day they actually hang out together and have sex). It was an average short story. Pretty sure there are more stories in this universe.
1 Star. Here She Lies by Angela Kulig Shallow girl starts to find herself and then the story ends abruptly without any conclusion. Unfinished story. No info attached on if the story will be finished or if that was all the f*cks the author could give.
1 Star. Poisoned Legacies by Skyler Andra This did not feel like a romance and it cut off before any real ending with no info on if/when the story would be continued. Not my thing. This was Snow White inspired
1 Star. Bluebeards Demise by Leigh Kelsey This one was paranormal in a way that was disconnected. I didn't really like it. This was "fairy tale" inspired. Weird.
3 Stars. Nightfall by Maggie Alabaster I'm giving this one 3 stars just because the heroine in this Goldilocks and the Three Bears inspired story has the heroine having sex with one of the bears within 10 minutes (tops) of meeting him. That's some fast work.
DNR. Falling Into Oz by CL Riley, Sapphire Stone and Carol Van Atta. I didn't read this one. It's reverse harem which I don't find interesting at the best of times and as a remake of the Wizard of Oz, actively turned me off for some reason.
DNR Curse of the Fallen Fairy by Angela Sanders and Tina Glasneck The blurb didn't call to me.
4 Stars. Outlaw of Ladies by Laura Greenwood and LA Boruff This is a Robin Hood inspired story. It's part of a series. I'm intrigued enough to look for the rest of this series.
3 Stars. Mercy's End by May Dawson and Lacey Carter Andersen This is maybe based on Beauty and the Beasts daughter but considering that both Beauty and Beast are detestable in this book, I'm not really sure about the fairy tale connection. It's a reverse harem set up for the full book to come in Jan 2021. I was pretty sucked into this story but I'm not sure I'll remember it to follow it to the book. Reverse Harem isn't my favorite even if I'm intrigued right now, by Jan I probably won't remember this snippet.
3 Stars. Ella and the Alien Prince by Margo Bond Collins. This story is a Cinderella inspired tale. This story is a prequel or a side story in an established universe of Aliens that saved the earth.
3 Stars. The Water Lily Princess by Eliza Grace AKA Eli Constant. I didn't recognize which fairy tale this was supposed to be inspired by. I might have given it more stars but it felt unfinished and unsatisfying because of it.
1 Stars. Dust Till Beast by Sheena Austen Weird retelling of the daughter of the beast with everyone in vampire form.
2 Stars.The Sons & Flower Moon by Bokerah Bromely. Another weird paranormal but this one was headed to a RH but ended before that.
3 Stars Siren's Embrace by TK Barber. This one was a retelling of the little mermaid prior to the little mermaid. It was from an interesting perspective and I enjoyed it. It felt fresh
1 Stars East of the Bronx by CL Cannon This was a fast paced story that ended on a dud.
more to come as I read them.

About Ella & The Alien Prince:
Two months ago, planet Earth was invaded by the Alveron Horde. To protect humans, the Khanavai emerged as great heroes and managed to get rid of their enemies.
But now that humans had come into contact with aliens, there was no going back.
The Khanavai wanted their reward. But they didn't want money, they wanted women.
The Alveron Horde had almost succeeded in exterminating the Khanavai by damaging their DNA, so that their women were no longer able to bear children. But the Khanavai population needed to continue, especially the Royal family.
On Earth, Ambassador Stanislav was assigned to introduce young and unmarried women to the Khanavai prince at the ball in honor of the warriors.
However, the Ambassador wanted to present only the most beautiful and important human beings, however, Latraxa, the godmother of Prince Khai had another idea.
And that was how Ella got her invitation to the ball.
Ella had worked on the Ambassador team for some time because she herself wanted to have experience to be an Ambassador for her country.
But since she was a simple employee, she would not be invited to the ball.
Her best friend, Lauren, really wanted to go to the ball and meet those warriors with such different skin colors, but strong, tall and beautiful.
With Latraxa's visit to the Ambassador's office, there was no option but for all the women to go to the ball.
Prince Khai was bored at dinner in his honor.
The food was different, the cutlery was too small, the clothes (tuxedo) were tight, the room was too much bright; everything there seemed wrong and extravagant.
But when he smelled an absolutely different and attractive scent, Khai knew that his search was over, and he had found his mate.
But like the Cinderella she was, Ella didn't immediately accept his propose and ran out of the ball, leaving her shoes behind.
The story of Cinderella adapted to alien molds, with the same happy ending.
The reading is fast, few pages, and we wish that the plot had many other adventures.

This new collection of fairy tale retellings has it all—enchanting Regency ballrooms, demon-infested forests, billionaire-controlled boardrooms, and dark alien planets. And all the fairy tales come with a twist. Below is a review of three of the stories to give you an idea of the type of tales you may encounter!
*** Reviewing “FALLING INTO OZ” by C. L. Riley ***
Believing an earthquake had struck the Pacific NW with a shaking and horrible roaring sound, Dorthia (“Thia”) finds herself instead staring at three suns and two moons in a violet sky! She has a massive headache and can’t figure out where she is. She spotted a small golden brick path, spattered with what looked like blood, that appeared out of nowhere and looped toward the forest where it disappeared. But this alien world obviously isn’t Oz, even though that is what they call it. A voice asked for her papers and wanted to know what her crime was! No one was near her, so she refused to answer. When he made himself visible, she saw a large talking snake that changed into a green man with scales and sharp teeth. He identified himself as Wilden the Warden of the quadrant she was in. She had evidently inadvertently killed a vamp named Sayge somehow. One of the other snake-people who could determine if someone lied, said she was telling the truth that she did not deliberately kill anyone. Putting the facts together, she realized she must be in a coma.
As they sat and ate together, Wilden told her that getting home will require stealing an emerald sphere from a dangerous fanged creature and delivering it to an unpredictable sorcerer. If she claims the emerald sphere and destroys the remaining vampire prince, Oz will be less of a prison and more of a home, according to Wilden the Warden. But with the large number of rogue prisoners that wandered into other quadrants, which she must constantly look out for, that task was not going to be easy. He also added that Earth was right now being invaded and claimed by a bunch of other aliens! She was given a small blade and a map. Was she ready for an adventure?
It turns out Oz is a prison planet where dangerous criminals banished by their own galaxies’ governments are exiled, the worst of the worst. The only hope for Thia’s survival and escape will depend on her trusting Lornox, the golden lion shifter; Strax, the sexy alien dependent on robotics; and Trophus, the purple-skinned space pirate. And later a fourth will be added. These are her mates. But once she has her men, going home to Earth doesn’t seem that important anymore! Will she wake up and find this was all an elaborate dream? Or is this her new reality?
*** Reviewing “MERCY'S END” by Lacey Carter Andersen & May Dawson ***
Mercy walked down the stairs, watching her parents (Beauty and the Beast) who only had eyes of love for each other, never for her. She stopped on the stairs when her knife, strapped to her ankle, slipped. When she looked up, the handsome shifter Ares was at the bottom of the stairs looking up at her and he asked her to dance. He never danced at these balls – what was he up to? So she asked him! When he compared her actions and voice to a prickly cactus, she was furious and started to argue on the dancefloor. Her father cut in, angry at having had to leave his wife, and asked what was going on. He readily agreed to the cactus analogy and then told her very painful things he saw in her and why she made a good assassin. Every word cut her. He said if she couldn’t be charming and personable, she would be worthless as an assassin and her training would end now. Having the skills to kill but not able to get close would not work. No one will ever hire her if she can’t master both sides of an assassin.
As she is ready to snarl at Ares, a strange man grabs her and dances away with her. He is Lord Burton and, for payment of half a million, wants her to kill Lord Hadrian Drakkar, who abuses his power and is ready to take over from his father as leader of their house. She could set up her own business with that much money! She agrees. As she turns to walk away, she walks right into a smirking Sebastian (“Bash”). Since he is usually with Hadrian, it may help her get close to him to complete her new job. Not fully understanding the job she has taken, does she have any idea of the trouble she is heading for?
The story introduces you to Mercy and her parents, Ares, Sebastian/Bash and Hadrian. The story is well-written, intriguing, and I am absolutely eager to read more about these characters in their upcoming series.
*** Reviewing “ELLA AND THE ALIEN PRINCE” by Margo Bond Collins ***
The focus of this story is one I have seen used in a number of other alien stories where the aliens provide protection and in return would like an agreement to allow human brides to replenish their population. Ella is surprised to be attending the reception to honor the blue aliens who helped them, but the Prince's "godmother" had required all unmated female staff to attend. If this has something to do with the Bride Alliance she heard about, Ella doesn’t want to be put on display for the Khanavai warriors. But when she locks eyes with the handsome Prince Khai, she immediately knows she may not have a say in the matter at all! Will he choose her to be his? Can she refuse?

I sadly i havent read all the books in this collection yet but after reading the books that i have Ill definitely buy the whole book soon
My review for Dark Masquerade by S.A McClure
Adalinda aka Ada has no intention of getting claimed & married off to a Prince. So when shes bullied into taking part in The Royal Claiming Ceremony she tries her level best to get removed from it. A pretty good read with a HEA. One id hoped Ada would get from the very beginning of the book. A sweet story
My review for Mercy's End by Lacey Carter Andersen and May Dawson
The one thing Mercy needs to worry about in this book is being stabbed in the back. Quite Literally!! Or so that would appear to her in this book. My only criticism about this taster book is that it was too short and i really want to read the rest of the book now. It was so bloody good and that cliffhanger ending was knockout!! Dying to get my hands on the whole book now
My review for Poisoned Legacies by Skyler Andra
One Princess thats trying to master her magic to please her tyrant father. As well as to contend with a vindictive brother who is trying every trick her can to discredit her and get the throne. I loved this spin on Snow White. Im hoping that there will be a full length book coming?? Id certainly read it
My review of Bluebeards Demise by Leigh Kelsey
Grace's (FMC) sister Clara has been kidnapped. Grace tries to get herself kidnapped herself by the same kidnapper. Not as easy as it sounds especially when the kidnapper uses mind control to get his way and Officer Eden is doing everything to stop her. I cant wait to get my hands on more books featuring Grace and Eden. Keeping an eye out for them. A good read

This collection was so not what I was expecting, but I have rather enjoyed the stories that I have read in it. I particularly loved Mercy's End by May Dawson and Lacey Carter Anderson which gives reader a background story of Mercy from the God Fire Academy. I enjoyed getting to see a different side of her than what happens in the series and I cannot wait to see what happens next in her story. The other story I really enjoyed was Skyler Andra's Poisoned Legacies and I really hope that she continues this story because the ending is a killer! I love anthologies that pull in all of the authors that I have enjoyed reading and this anthology is no exception.
August 11, 2020
I absolutely love a good fairytale retelling and this boxset if just full of great ones! Written by some amazing authors these tales will just grab you hook, line and sinker! There’s Mercy’s End by May Dawson and Lacey Carter Andersen, there’s Stealing Maid Marian's Heart by Ashley McLeo and there’s Poisoned Legacies by Skyler Andra. Each story will transport you to a different realm , some are sweet, some are hot and steamy, and each of them comes with a twist! A great selection that I look forward to reading more of!
August 12, 2020
This wonderfully written story in the Once Upon a Fairy Tale Night Series was intriguing as it had some very well-thought out scenes and story plots. These characters have very strong wills and personalities and their interactions are believable.This wonderful story has the following: intrigue, twists and turns, adventure, action, danger, love, steam and a HEA. It is a fast-paced, good Alien Romance book that will keep you engaged from start to finish. I will be looking for more books by this author.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Fantastic Collection
As soon as I heard that May Dawson, Skyler Andra, and Laura Greenwood were part of this set I just knew I had to get it. They are some of my all time fave authors making it necessary for me to read everything they write. As usual their contributions were totally fantastic making the set a worthy but in my opinion (the price helped as well I must say). I did not stop there though. Following the fairy tale retelling theme I got to sample a while bunch of authors that I had never read before. Some I liked more then others but I can always skip to the next one when I am not feeling the one I'm on. Overall a fantastic set more then worth the time to try it. I highly recommend it. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Following the fairy tale retelling theme I got to sample a while bunch of authors that I had never read before. Some I liked more then others but I can always skip to the next one when I am not feeling the one I'm on. Overall a fantastic set more then worth the time to try it. I highly recommend it. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

This entire collection was fabulous. One story that stood out for me was by Margo Bond Collins. Ella and the Alien Prince was wonderful. Read it twice. Another story that I truly was entranced with was by SA McClure- Dark Masquerade, totally different than I expected.

This is quite the massive collection but here are some I’ve made it through so far. As usual, all my reviews are always voluntarily written.
1) Curse of the fallen fairy- by Angela Sanders and Tina Glasneck
Wow. These two authors are on fire together! What price would we pay for love and our own happily ever after? This tale looks into one possibility!
2) Poisoned Legacies- by Skyler Andra
Sibling rivalry with magic involved, add in trying to gain attention and favor from a parental? This new to me author captured the elite lifestyle of royals to a tee and made this tale quite interesting!
3) Blue beards demise by Leigh Kelsey-
So many unique to me elements went into this tale and I loved it! Marked souls, hunting fairytales ( which is way more than it sounds) curses, and bad guys that just want to drain out everything unique about you to use and abuse.
4) Dusk Till Beast- by Sheena Austin
A unique Beauty and the Beast retelling casting in vampires and evil Dads. Another new author for me so, this was a nice exposure!
5) The Beast of the Boardroom by LA Fox
A Billionaire romance that may or may not be a happily ever after ! I am so burnt out on romances but this author sure did manage to hold me captive!
6) Royal Swan by Kelly N Jane
Oh it’s the tale of arranged matches supposedly for the sake of kingdoms and having to decide if true love is worth all. Yeah...but...it’s still a cute tale regardless and this author told it her own way!
7)Burning Bright by Romy Lockhart
Being sold for the sake of the rest of the family. And life definitely doesn’t get any better, until you meet three others in the same situation, sort of. Anything more and I would have to write spoilers. A great tale!
8) Stealing Maid Marions Heart by Ashley McLeo
It goes without saying that I was excited to get to this story! And the author did not fail to deliver! This retelling of Robin and a Maid Marion was definitely unique and kept me happily glued!
9) The Dark Masquerade- by S A McClure
Forced to attend a mating ritual that places two strangers together, the ultimate in arranged marriages. This authors talent kep me transfixed.
10) Rescuing Ruby by Alaitha a Morgan AKA Pepper Paris
A contemporary remake of the wizard of Oz, complete with evil stepmothers who want you dead. Loved see this authors skill at weaving in elements from the original fairytale!
11) If the Show Fits by Anna K Rose
An interesting Cinderella retell but set in an equestrian lifestyle. What creativity this author has!
12) Daggers Beauty by Dee Stone
Another Beaty and the Beast retell but this time the beast is a cage fighter. Really a very sweet retell!

Writing good short stories is hard. Writing good romance short stories is particularly hard, since the reader demands both the meet-cute and the happily ever after. Throw in the requirement of so adult happy times, and that short story gets especially difficult. Of the three stories in Once Upon a Fairytale Night that I read, some delivered, and some did not.
Rescuing Ruby - Pepper Paris
As part of the Once Upon a Fairy Tale Night Anthology, Rescuing Ruby is a sweet snippet of a Reverse Harem romance supposed based on the Wizard of Oz. The similarities between the two stories are loose (so loose that the only continuity is a tornado), and as it own story, it really needed to be expanded to stand on its own. The ending is sweet but unfulfilling.
Ella and the Alien Prince - Margo Bond Collins
Margo Bond Collins stays true to the Cinderella story, with a list shoe and the stroke of midnight. It also follows all the trite gimmicks of current alien romances, with fated mates, the alien race’s females being infertile, and insta-lust. Not a particularly satisfying book, and does really entice me to look for the rest of the Khanavani Warriors Bride Games series.
Mercy’s End - Lacey Carter Anderson
Now this one does it right. It doesn’t try to re-invent the fairytale, it takes the next generation of Beauty and the Beast, in a much less candy-coated light. No need for meet-cutes; two of the three male interests are already known to Mercy, and the third is known by reputation (though erroneous). Action-packed from the start, with a heroine who can hold her own (and then some). It’s exciting right to the end - unfortunately, the end is too soon, leaving you dangling and having to get the rest of this story in the next book in this series (Mercy’s End).
Siren’s Embrace - TK Barber
This story store starts off with a wonderfully creepy vibe, and ends with a wistful smile and a slightly dark goodbye. I loved the gothic vibe of the story, and how the love was used to justify all sorts of dark acts. Out of all the stories I read in this anthology, this one was the best.

I am leaving a review for one story in this anthology currently. That story would be Poisoned Legacies by Skylar Andra.
Mara is a Dark Fae princess who must master her magic to help her father retake their old home Haven, which the Dark Fae were defeated and Banished from. King Thralnax plays Mara and her brother Narc off against each other and cares for nothing but reclaiming the ancestral home with the help of the Dark Lord and Mara if only she wasn't so useless (though the potential there is amazing and if she wasn't rushed she could be everything and more). Wraith is the magical mentor to the princess and prince. He has his own reasons for working for the king and who, at all costs, must not get involved with the princess or he risks losing his place in the guild.
Once again Skylar Andra comes up with and develops an amazing cast of characters here. The details are exceptional and the characters are full and real. You can visualize what is happening in your mind so clearly that it plays like a movie.
The only critique I would say is that it's not long enough! You get invested and you pick sides very early on. This book will have you on the edge of your seats at key stages and you will be begging for more by the end.
Excellent world-building, fantastic plot, and rich characters. All in all an enjoyable read!

SIREN'S EMBRACE by T. K. Barber
Alec is feared as the Pain King, a dark warlock who lives in a forbidding keep on the edge of the sea. He's seen eyes gazing up at him from below the water enough times to be intrigued. His voyeuse is none other than Maryn, a mermaid with siren powers who's scorned by her royal family. The two strike up a fast friendship and soon yearn for much more. But her lack of human legs must first be overcome. Just what, and who, will they be willing to sacrifice to be together?
The mythology behind what creates a siren is very unique and I won't spoil it here, but I think it was a neat way to add to Maryn's character. She's not evil or manipulative, just a woman in love who would do anything to stay that way. Alec is no different. At worst, you could call them selfish, but it's clear that their selfishness is only in service to one another.
This story definitely hits all of the emotional beats of a romance, but in regard to the physical ones, it follows a fade-to-black pattern. I'd be curious to read an expanded version of SIREN'S EMBRACE that gives more of an in-depth look at each stage of Maryn and Alec's relationship and showcases more of their magical abilities.

My Review is for two stories in this book
First review is for
Poisoned Legacies by Skyler Andra .
I Loved this story from the first page.
Mara is a Dark Fae princess who must master her magic to help her father retake their old home Haven, which the Dark Fae were defeated and Banished from .
King Thralnax plays Mara and her brother Narc off against each other and cares for nothing but reclaiming the ancestral home with the help of the Dark lord and Mara if only she wasn't so useless....
Wraith is the princess and princes mentor who has his own reasons for working for the king and who at all costs must not get involved with the princess or he risks losing his place in the guild.
But That is easier said than done......
My 2nd review is for
Mercy's End by May Dawson and Lacey Carter Anderson.
Mercy is the daughter of beauty and the beast but is more like her father than her mother all she wants is to train and be part of the assassin guild at a ball she is approached by someone who wants to hire her to kill a vampire who is destined to become king, The only problem is his body guards are the 2 men she has trained with and who are both in love with her.....
Will she go ahead with the assassination or will it end badly...?

I am reviewing the story Poisoned Legacies by Skyler Andra
This was a quick read but an amazing one & I loved this story alot from the first page!
Mara is a Dark Fae and the daughter of King Thralnax but she needs to master her magic to help her father retake their old home Haven, from which the Dark Fae were banished from.
Mara's father King Thralnax plays her and her brother Narc off against each other and focuses on nothing but reclaiming Haven with the help of the Dark lord & Mara if she can control her magic.
The storyline of this book was great & well planned!
Mara is my favourite character because she thinks about her actions more, is cunning & also creative in planning ways to get the results she wants & isn't afraid to play the long game.
Overall I would definitely recommend this if you love family drama & magic!

This was a brilliant collection of twists on traditional fairy stories. I loved Poisoned legacies by Skylar Andra, it was a dark tale of forbidden love, overbearing fathers and magic. I loved the characters and really felt for Mara who just wanted to be loved. A great little story and definitely one I’d read more of! I also loved Mercy’s end by Lacey Carter Anderson and May Dawson. Again another intro to what sounds like it could be a great story, I’ll definitely be reading Mercy’s Revenge! Loved the collection of characters in this little story and was gutted when the story ends! I definitely want to see how Mercy fares in her next adventure. She definitely seemed like a tough nugget! If you love fairy tales this collection is definitely worth a read! But be warned... these tales aren’t for the faint of heart...

"Nightfall was a good story. I really liked how it started, the dot of mysterious and suspenseful situation but right at the end I didn't like how it was developed. The moments between them were hot, sexy and so steamy. I really don't know how to put it in word without giving details let's just say that the alpa part was such an annoying and frustrating moment." - 4 stars!
"Falling into OZ was such an interesting story to read. This was y second retelling of the original story and to my surprise it was a RH which made everything just perfect! I've recently craving just for RH stories so I was looking forward for this story. It was hot, sexy and steamy from the very beginning. I thought I knew how the story will developed but there were some unexpected moments that made it quite unique. Completely hooked from the beginning. It was such a great story and I highly recommend it to you!"- 5 stars!

Skyler andra's poisoned legacy
Wow, this was a massive teaser for me and left me wanting more. I loved the flow of the plot and the fae concept was really entertaining to read about. The drama that this story brought us had me on the edge of my seat, keeping me from wanting to put it down. The tension was great and the characters were beautifully written. And that ending had me wanting to throw my kindle... In the best of ways haha I want more!
Bluebeards demise by Leigh Kelsey
This story was quick paced and lots of action. I loved the characters and the love between two sisters was wonderful to read. There was fantastic world building and I have lots of hopes for another book. Leigh has created amazing books and this story was no exception. A fun and energetic read!

This is such a fun and diverse collection of stories! I absolutely loved Margo Bond Collins Ella and the Alien Prince. This was a great Cinderella story and the characters were engaging, the chemistry off the charts. I am definitely ready to dive into the series after this lighthearted prequel. I also really enjoyed Lacey Carter Andersen/May Dawson's Mercy's End. This gritty anti magic world was fascinating and rich with details. I have to give another big nod to Skyler Andra's Poisoned Legacies. Again, fab characters, sizzling chemistry and a dark path to follow into the series. So much mystery and magic it was a page turner for me. All great stories, by so many fab authors, to dive into and lose yourself for many hours of binge reading fun!

My review is for "Ella and the Alien Prince" by Margo Bond Collins
I haven't read any of the other books in the Alien Bride series and found the setup a bit rushed. "Earth under attack, surprising help from aliens, now let's go to the story..." It's a very short story, so this is only a minor complaint because in the end, everything important was mentioned. Same for the Characters. To be fair, I can't remember when I've last read a short story without knowing the characters from the main series before, so I might be picky here and expect too much of such a short story.
All that aside, I enjoyed the story and would have liked to read this in a more detailed, longer version But again, that's just me and the fact, that I did expect a full-length book. I'll definitely check the entire fairy-tale series, because I love re-tellings and now I'm prepared ;)

Fabulous collection of Fairytale retellings! So many great stories that pull you in and immerse you into their worlds. Highly recommended anthology of stories!
One story that I got hooked on is Poisoned Legacies by Skylar Andra. Mara, a dark Fae, takes us on a journey of her life as a princess that must master her magic in order to help reclaim her kingdom. The characters are well developed and the author thought of all the details to pull the readers into her story. Fabulous!! 💜🖤
All the authors that came together for this anthology did an amazing job! Every story is different and unique leaving you wanting more! Cannot wait to see what they come up with next!!

My review is for East of the Bronx by C.L. Cannon.
This story was so beautiful. I found it to be a very fresh concept yet somehow also reminded me of Beastly and Beauty and the Beast. Alma and Jack are endearing and their affection for each other was so sweet. The story flows really well. I literally couldn't put it down. Also, I listened to classical music while reading it and it paired perfectly. Would love for this story to continue. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!

Absolutely loved all of these stories. One of my favorite collection of stories. My 2 favorites were Mercy’s End by May Dawson and Lacey Carter Anderson. This storyline was just oh so good. Loved reading about Mercy and what her background was.
My other favorite was Poisoned Legacies by Skyler Andra. Mara sounds like an amazing main character. Storyline was really good and very well written. Oh I want more from both!!!
So cannot wait to see what these authors write next. Definitely recommend reading.

I love these kind of books. You get to learn other authors as well and it's a very good price point. There are some authors I already was familiair with but this also introduced me to new ones as well. I've read several but I'm picking one story in particular. Skylar Andra's poisoned legacies is a fantasy with a dark fae princess Mara and the king Thralnax plays her against her brother. Can Mara understand her value and understand her magic? Get it under control? The caracters are fantastic, the worldbuilding awesome. Highly recommend this collection.
August 11, 2020
This whole collection is phenomenal. Dark, twisted, and answers to questions we have had for years. My favorite is "Siren's Embrace" by TK Barber. She wields a story of the dark underwater world, where it is a wet hell, not fairy tales and sing a longs. Maryn longs after the wizard Alec. And eventually he morphs time, science, and magic into eternal happiness. Then there comes a day for her to return the favor. There are times it is dark, twisted, yet some how arousing and sexual. Read the exquisite story how the sea witch from the stories came to be.

My review is for East of the Bronx: A Modern Retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon - ft. in Once Upon A Fairy Tale Night Collection
I liked how the author described every detail. This story was very intriguing. I kept coming up with different reasons why he would not show his face. I loved the chemistry of the characters in the book. At times, I laughed about her sarcastic way and I could picture her face expression. Very well written book.

This is a review of "Ella and the Alien Prince."
I thoroughly enjoyed this alien romance. I confess that I've never read a "Mars needs women" kind of story before, and this one hit all the right marks and felt genuine. I like the characters, and the writing is smooth and light. Recommended.

My review is for Siren’s Embrace by TK Barber. I absolutely loved reading Alec and Maryn’s story. Their love story was unlike anything I’ve ever read before. It was the perfect twist on the sea witch’s story, which I never realized I needed until I read this book💕
August 12, 2020
