Oliver
I don’t usually trap women with amnesia into marriage.
But I guess there’s a first time for everything.
When the woman of my dreams falls into my lap, I can’t help but wonder what else she can do in that position.
She’s here. In my house. At my mercy.
And she thinks we’ve been lovers the entire decade we spent apart.
Briar and I have always been unfinished business.
Now it’s time to seal the deal.
Briar
I’m marrying a beautiful monster.
A crooked fraud. America’s wealthiest bachelor.
He claims we’re in love, yet all I taste in our kisses is hate and lust.
I don’t remember why or how.
But I do remember he’s the enemy.
Now, I’m stuck inside a nightmare.
And Oliver will do anything to keep me in the dark.
Authors’ Note: My Dark Prince is a standalone enemies-to-lovers Sleeping Beauty retelling, in which a damaged billionaire with a dark past and his childhood sweetheart fall in love—literally. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road universe.
REVIEW
5* read.
I love both these authors and have really enjoyed the other books in this series. I wasn't to sure about Oliver in the other books but was still looking forward to getting his story.
If like me you've read the other books in this series then you'll be expecting Oliver to end up with Dallas' little sister Frankie. As is made clear by the blurb this doesn't happen. At first I was a bit upset with this as I really thought they'd both be good together. That been said after reading it you pretty much realise straight away that they're was never gonna be anyone else but Briar for him. He needed someone like her to balance it out and Briar definatly added more to Ollie's character then i think Frankie ever would have. I loved the chemistry between them and going back and seeing glimpses into their past and finally realising why Oliver was the way he was in the other books.
I really hope these authors write together again, they really are so great together. Their work just flows seamlessly, like your reading just one author.
I don't know if anything has ever been said online about this, but I do really hope there's some type of spin off and that Frankie gets her own book. She's such a big character that you just know her book would be a great read and it would be a shame to never get her story.
