Angel Payne and Victoria Blue have created 2 interesting characters in Claire and Killian. Their chemistry is strong but they both have a past that haunts them. While I enjoyed the book I felt that some of the secondary characters were too over the top. I was also dissapointed as the story does not really conclude in this book, rather in the next book in the series No More Masquerade.

A fantastic read you definitely won’t want to put down .....very sexy love at first sight absolutely loved it x

Another wonderful book by the amazing Angel Payne, and Victoria I will need to read more of her books since she is new to me.It was a great read I can not wait for the next book in the series

I loved this book, I couldn't stop reading it.
I feel in love with the characters right away.


Claire is a strong independent woman which I love in a story line. I absolutley loved Killian as well

Thanks for the arc Netgalley

I love this series! Claire and Killian have an epic love story. Yes, you are going to want to hit Killian in the head to knock some sense into him. The happily ever after is worth wading through the strong emotions presented in this book.

I received an arc from Netgalley. If you are looking for a love at first site romance this is your book. Once Killian saw and met Claire he knew she was the one for him. Now he had to convince her she was for him.

Killian and Claire need to overcome a lot of obstacles, doubts, and bribery situations. Delve into the story of high powered people, PR life and lots of romance. You won’t be disappointed. 4.5 stars

Cinderella with baggage

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley.

I could not put this book down.
I feel in love with the character right off the bat and was rooting for Killian and Claire the whole time.
With tons of up and downs and tilt-a-whirls, this book is now one of my favorites.

Claire is a strong independent woman who works for a PR company based out of San Diego, CA. With a new crisis and client Claire, the rest of her team fly off to Chicago to help build back up the reputation of SCG and the Stone family name. Right off the bat, Killian is affected by Claire and vice-versa. He does everything he can do to be near her, But she is resistant and for a good reason, Blackmail. She cant get involved with the one guy he sets her mind and body on fire because of her past. With turns and twist all along the way - Claire tries to push him away, well Killian is pushing for them together.

BEST BOOK EVER!!!

When his brother is involved in a scandal so huge they have to outsource a PR team to fix it, Killian Stone is instantly intrigued by one of the team members, Claire Montgomery. While they both have secrets that should prevent them from being together, they can't fight the chemistry between them. This story is filled with dynamic characters who you love, cheer for, and want to strangle.A wonderful start to a series and I stayed up late to finish once I started reading!

When it comes down to chemistry and the fight of attraction No Prince Charming is oozing with it. Just wow. I love the banter between Killian and Claire. They try and try to fight the sizzling attraction but sometimes its even hotter to just give into it. Killian may be the youngest of the Stones but he is in charge from the very start there is no question to that. I love how he doesn't handle his brother Trey with kid gloves either. Seriously I can't wait to find out more about these brothers. Though I'm getting a bit ahead of myself so let me get to Claire. She is smart and witty with a touch of feistiness. Even though she feels backed up against a wall by her soon to be step sister, Claire doesn't let it stop her. Though she does have trust issues. But how can you not when it comes to the world of PR. This is such a good twist on a more modern Cinderella story. Both Killian and Claire have such strong family bonds and that shines through out No Prince Charming. I really couldn't stand Andrea or her daughter Margaux. But I am intrigued to see where Angel Payne and Victoria Blue take them in future books. Who knows they might just end up being a little loveable. I loved No Prince Charming. It's burns so hot all the way through and I couldn't put this one down.

this story is sort of like a Cinderella re telling but not. Sadly I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would have.

arc received for an honest review, I don't really have that much to say on this one, I just couldn't get into it. I tried several times.

The ending is a cliff-hanger of sorts, so if I was to recommend I would wait till the next one is out if it isn't already.

Killian Stone (AKA Our prince) is the CEO of his familys empire. I say empire because that is exaclty what it is. His brother is a mess up and he has to hire the company that Claire (Cinderella) works for. Claire's dad is engaged to her boss (AKA Future Step mom) who has an AWFUL daughter, Margaux (AKA wicked Step Sister) who treat Claire pretty badly. The Step sister calls "dibs' on Killian buuuut he has no desire to be with her. He sees Claire and is done for.

I loved the book. It showed so much love. I would like to thank you guys for letting me read it.

No Prince Charming by Angel Payne, Victoria Blue is Book 1 in the "Secrets of Stone Book 1". This is the story of Claire Montgomery and Killian Stone. Their story has a Cinderella type theme with a modern day read. Killian wants Clair from their first meeting...Claire feels the same too. But theirs is supposed to be a working relationship and besides her step-sister has laid claim to him. Claire's step sister has even went so far as to use blackmail it seems, but Killian wants Claire.
This was an exciting and hot read. Their story will continue to another book but we do have a gentle ending to get us read for that.

A good role in the hay romance, this quick read is in line most of its genre. A plus is the descriptive sex scenes are not repetitive.

Overall I found the story to be written rather well with an unique plot.

Angel Payne is a favourite author of mine, so naturally I was eager to give this book a go. However, I did struggle to understand the lack of trust between the two main characters and their constant need for secrecy. For me personally, it just didn’t make sense.

Unfortunately, neither secret seemed worthy of the ongoing conflict between these characters throughout the entire book, and the authors attempt to drop subtle hints without actually saying anything, was substantial flaw in my opinion. That said, I would recommend this story to anyone who likes a take no prisoners Alpha male, who pursues his target without pretence or apology.

My name is Claire Montgomery...and I’m not a princess. I’m a fighter. I worked hard to earn my place on the emergency image repair team for one of the biggest public relations companies in the country. We’ve been called to the renowned Chicago headquarters of Stone Global Corporation, where it’s our job to clean up a heap of the Stone family’s laundry.When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book is one day.Angel and Victoria are magnifysent writers.I cannot wait to read more of there's books.Keep up the great work..

I received an ARC from NetGalley. The below is my honest, unbiased opinion. Thank you, Angel Payne, Victoria Blue, the publisher, and NetGalley, for allowing me to read an early copy.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who dressed up and went to a big party at the palace. When she was there, she met a prince. They danced and fell in love...

Damn good line. Too bad I don’t believe a word of it anymore.

My name is Claire Montgomery, and I’m not a princess. I’m a fighter.

We’ve been called to the renowned Chicago headquarters of Stone Global Corporation, where it’s our job to clean up a heap of the Stone family’s filthiest laundry. Our success will be the biggest victory of my career. I’m on my game. I’m ready.

Why doesn’t ready include a contingency plan for Killian Stone?

No Prince Charming is a steamy, modern day Cinderella story, where Prince Charming is a dirty-talking alpha male and Cinderella is quick witted and sarcastic. I loved the writing, characters, and this take on a modern Cinderella. If you enjoy fairy tales and alpha men, you'll love this one!
