My Review:
Prince Charming left his kingdom and he went through a painful divorce with his Ella. It was not a match made in heaven and he goes by Dave Encanto now. Prince Charming is a nerd that loves books whose hair is not as thick as it used to be and his weight is no longer perfect. So now he's just a really normal man but very charming still.
Also in exile from the Third Kingdom is Mellie who is upset with being stereotyped as evil because she happens to be a stepmother whose life was ruined by rumors of her abusing her stepdaughter Snow White. Angry over the way the mean spirited Grimm brothers portray her character and her friends she goes to a book fair to protest the lying portrayal of her and other stepmothers as evil to have her vampire moment as the vampires have recently been redeemed.
When Mellie and Charming along with both of his distrusting daughters meet he offers to help her write the true story of her and Snow White.
I really enjoyed reading this wickedly charming story and reading from Mellie's side of the story.
I can't blame Mellie for being so angry on the wrongful portrayal of her character and other stepmoms.
3.5/5
Thanks Danielle from Sourcebooks for sending me this ARC to review, greatly appreciated!

I read this one and I thought it was a really great idea. What I was missing though was a steamier side to the romance. The romance was very turned down and that bothered me a little bit.
