Yesterday I finished one book and I opened this one thinking that I'll just read a few lines, get a little into the story and go to bed at approximately 10:30pm.

With the social season in full swing, and bringing with it a horde of husband-hungry socialites, he’ll do anything to delay the pressures of both marriage and the crown. If you like slow burn romance, fake engagements, and snarky fae royals, then you’ll love this swoon-worthy story in the Entangled with Fae series. Wanting past the bluster and sparkle and having been wounded by the past and being very wary of the future. I don't know if I should dive into the next book of this series or stop what I'm doing and watch some Disney movies. I've already loved this world for some time now, but the characters, reveals, personal growth and HEA ending were my favorite parts.My frustration when Ember was backed into a corner only enhanced my feelings and attachments towards the story and characters. But when feelings emerge on both sides, she starts to wonder if there's more to their contrived courtship than either of them planned. If you ever wondered what Cinderella and the Prince were talking about during the ball, Ember and Franco will answer that.

Along the way, she has to pretend to be a princess and become the Prince Franco's new love interest. Ember was originally introduced in Curse of the Wolf King as a side character, while Franco gathered some diehard fans in To Wear a Fae Crown (The Fair Isle Trilogy, set twenty years before the Entangled with Fae series).

And Franco reminded me a little too much of Rhys (ACoTaR) but every dark-haired, tattooed, fae-male, with black wings reminds me of Rhys. This was one of the best fairy tale retellings I’ve ever read so far and I’m definitely not exaggerating! It also follows Franco, a fae prince who is misunderstood and rarely lets people see/know his true self to the point that he lets people spread a reputation about him that is mostly a series of unfortunate misunderstandings. But if you would like to read all books set in Faerwyvae, be sure to check out The Fair Isle Trilogy and Curse of the Wolf King. Introducing Maisie was a great move to set the scene for the third book in this series: Kiss of the Selkie, and the ending was sweet, giving a conclusion to Franco and Ember's story, offering an update on Gemma and Elliot's and also making us curious about what's coming next for the Sea princess.

It was a delight to see them grow as characters and make it through the turmoil in the story and eventually get to their version of happily ever after that we look forward to in a fairy tale retelling.Of course, Franco and Ember crossing their paths for the first time doesn't go quite well, igniting a spark of hate in Ember's heart for the Prince. On the other hand, Franco's sister decides the take her brother's love life in her hands and persuades her brother to court the princess of Sea land. I also liked that the Prince had a playboy exterior but on the inside he is just a soft shy boy-which was fun to read in a ML. Just because your namesake places you amongst ash and cinders, doesn’t mean you should seek cosmetics from a chimney.
