No Prince Charming by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue was a good read. It is loosely based on a modern Cinderella story. Killian isn't really a Prince Charming. I loved reading Killian and Claire's story.

Loved this book, can't wait to read the next one!! Not a normal, typical romance, but worth the wait in the end.

Meeting Killian Stone and attempting to remain strong was something Claire would struggle with. His first glance left her speechless. His first kiss left her running away desperate to remain strong. It was a fight she was going to lose. Killian has her in his sights and he is not a man who loses. Ever. Absolutely brilliant!

The author wrote a well-thought out storyline and wrote very well. I just thouht it is more of a teen book.

This is a modern take on Cinderella and totally charming read. Claire and Killian are perfect together and I had a great time reading this one. This was fun and romantic and had all the elements that made it yummy. It was fast paced and sexy and funny all rolled up in a great read. I recommend this one for a good time!

Talk about a novel that took me for a ride. I read No Prince Charming in less than 24 hours. It was just so hard to put down! It’s 3:30 AM right now as I’m writing this review and I just finished reading!

The suspense, heartbreak, misery, lust, gah we got it all. My chest physically hurt at times because my heart was breaking for Claire and Killian. Payne and Blue depict the characters emotions so well and make us feel what they’re feeling on this crazy carnival ride. Wink wink.

I can’t wait to continue the series! If you’re looking for your new favorite erotic romance, check out No Prince Charming!

Awesome read. Loved this emotional read filled with secrets and a little mystery. Claire is gun shy about love and is not interested in a relationship Killian is instantly attracted to Claire when they meet. He’s determined to find out Claire’s secret and convince her to give into their attraction. There are still secrets. Looking forward to the next book in the series.Recommended read.

No Prince Charming gave a great spin on Cinderella. Claire was supposed to clean up Killian's brothers reputation. Claire knows that she is supposed to stay away from Killian but can't help herself. They have a great banter back & forth. There is a lot of steamy scenes in the book too. I can't wait to read the next book in the series also. I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC..

I didn't care for this book. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could and that's because it is kind of a fun retelling of the typical Cinderella story.

What turned me off was the sex and the language. I'm not a prude, but I don't care for the graphic descriptions.

I'm sorry I couldn't give a better review, but I didn't finish the book.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publishers and the author for an early copy.

This was my first Angel Payne book and I have to say I'm impressed. I loved the characters and the witty back and forth banter between them. The story puts a whole new hot and steamy twist on the traditional Cinderella story. I'll definitely be adding Angel Payne to my "must read" authors list

This is the first book by this author i am reading. I was hooked from the first line. A modern day Cinderella story and true to its name, the Prince is not charming. Once i started reading, i couldn't put this book down without finishing it. A wonderfully written story. Eagerly waiting for the next in the series.

In my honest opinion I loved loved LOVED No Prince Charming and found I could barely put it down once I started it. What a great retelling of a cherished fairytale although, as the title implied, Killian is no prince charming and Claire is not your typical Cinderella. I was hooked by the chemistry between Killian and Claire from the minute they met and the whole story was full of humor, sarcasm and romance with lots of hot hot hot and steamy sex. I can’t wait for the next installment for this.

Just finished the book by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue, No Prince Charming. Was a great romance book with suspense, deception and ending with a happy ending. Lost of secrets and regrets in this book which makes for a great read. These writers work will together and the words make you feel the characters and what's happening. I would suggest this book to all my friends and bloggers. Thanks for the great read.

I found this book hard to get into, with OTT drama that was hard to believe. The H&h were good, though I felt like the h was a doormat, that needed to stand up for herself. I found myself skimming through parts of the books to an ending that was only a HFN :( Overall, this book wasn't for me, but was well written. *I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

I had never read a book by this author before and I am so glad that I asked for this book. You cant help but be hooked for the first line. I loved Claire from the first and quickly fell for Killian, He was a bit of a tragic figure and I felt she rescued him, she was princess charming, I can't wait for more.

Clair might not be Cinderella, but when she meets the bother of her latest client she knows she would love to have him be her prince, but her wicked step-sister has warned her off. This story has several of the characteristics of a modern fairy tale, but it will take more than a a little magic for Clair and Killian to get their happily ever after.

I really enjoyed No Prince Charming and I hope you love it too ;)

Claire Montgomery's team of PR geniuses is facing what could be a career-changing opportunity : helping Trey Stone's image after he was involved in a scandal. What Claire didn't count on was her attraction towards Trey's brother and her new employer, the mysterious Killian Stone...

I loved everything about this book : the setting, the plot, the writing, the secrets...

I liked Claire. She appeared a bit young and naive but she had a real personality and great values. And the best of all : she didn't yield to every single demands of Killian, she fought for herself.

Killian was mysterious; genuine and persuasive. The secret he kept was not one I had seen coming it was unexpected which I really enjoyed. He was not just the typical alpha-CEO, he claimed to be no prince charming but was really determined in his conquest of Claire despite the threat represented by Claire's stepsister and stepmother-to-be.

Killian and Claire together made for a great book that was captivating right from the first page. This book made me smile and swoon many times over (Killian has great moves). For the first time in a long while I had butterflies while reading and I really want more of Claire and Killian. There're still so many possibilities. Plus there're secrets still kept and characters with a lot of potential. I can't help but wish for a second book.

I know I could say so much more about the book but the best thing I can do is strongly encourage you to read it. Hopefully you won't regret it ! I certainly didn't.

After the past 3/4 months I've been on a major Angel Payne fix. First book I read of hers Misadventures of A Superhero had me wanting a Superhero, Saved the 1st book of The Honor Bound series had me want to be saved and protected by Garret Hawkins, and now, Angel has me wanting and dreaming of Killan Stone. In this story Angel has giving us a little taste of a modern day Cinderella story in a way. Claire is a girl with a secret and a job for cleaning up messes for very important people. Killan is the Head of a company trying to save it from the scandal of his brother while keeping his own secret hidden. I love how Angel gives us these characters that when instantly they see each other they want and crave the other. Claire tries her hardest even when Killan himself knows his 'No Prince Charming' but Killan is a Alpha of a man and can't control himself around her. I can't wait to see what else is coming for these characters in the next book.

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author so I wasn’t sure how it would go but honestly it was a great read.

This is the story of Killian and Claire. Killian is one of the three Stone brothers, he is the youngest but runs the global empire. However his older brother Trey can’t seem to stay outta trouble causing Killian to take action and calling in a team to try and lessen the blowback on their company. Claire is part of the team, she’s the numbers woman she helps to figure out what PR movements are working best.

However both Killian and Claire harbor secrets and neither wish them exposed. They aren’t looking for each other or anything. Claire knows he’s not her Prince Charming and never will be and that fairytales are just that they never happen in real life.

The two have undeniable chemistry and charisma together. This book was well written and worth the read and I look forward to reading more from this author.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy.
