This was the best Cinderella & Beauty & the Beast stories ever!! I absolutely loved Hunter & Lila & Cyn & Parker were absolutely the best. I really enjoyed that Cyn's dad wasn't a total fool & Cyn stood up for herself. And the twist of Meshel & Miller was perfect. Bravo Ladies, Bravo!!

First of all, you need to know this book is adult-themed. Mature audiences only, with a capital M. Not your typical romantic fairytale. It includes graphic language, illegal behavior, bondage, and just hot dirty sex in general. One of the few books I actually enjoyed when reading this type of content, which isn't saying much since I don't read many books like these. Anyway, both stories are twisted, but still have the main gist of the original princess tales. I enjoyed the first one better (Mistress to the Beast) because it keeps you on your toes, like you never know where it could lead to, even if it seems pretty obvious. The plot is short for sure, but it includes so much detail that you don't mind it as much. The second one is pretty intriguing too, but it cuts off a lot of the “romance” I guess? And it introduces two characters who in my opinion, deserved way more attention than they got. I feel like they could have been a more important asset to Cyn by working on their own relationship since that was a major theme that kept popping up. All in all, these little novellas were different (like everything progressed too quickly), but left me with wanting to read more. And so that's what I'm gonna do, as I have added so many more twisted fairytales to my booklist. Please keep an eye out for a whole new set of reviews coming soon from me!

Ever After contains two novellas based on fairy tale themes. The first novella (written by Eve Vaughn) is an updated interpretation of Beauty and the Beast, set in corporate america. The "beast" is a real estate developer eager to displace the heroine's father. The heroine makes a highly unlikely deal that drips of multiple degrees of sexual coercion, as a way to save her father's business from being razed.
The second novella (written by Lena Matthews) is an updated take on Cinderella. This story was witty and didn't require a trip to the land of suspending disbelief. The two main protagonists meet at a club, become intrigued based on conversation, and wind up having a happily ever after even with the ministrations of the heroine's evil step sisters. The heroine even slays at a ball with the help of her cross dressing godmother.
The storylines and writing in both novellas was good, although I enjoyed Matthews' story more.
