Book review :

Emmy Grayson’s A Cinderella for the Prince’s Revenge is a first rate romantic read from this fast-rising star of the Harlequin Presents line. It is a story of revenge, betrayal and love. The chemistry between Cass and Briony is remarkable.

Capturing regal life and monumental luxury, Emmy Grayson, writes a beautiful about the most funny and delightful Princess who is paired against the most beautifully strong and handsome Prince. Swirling in the background is truly awful families which add to the fairy-tale. Attraction is instant but is Briony ready to enter the loveless marriage Cass is offering? Cass's slow burn revenge is his sole driver. Any appeal to Briony is more an inconvenient aversion to his main goal. The transformation from Cinderella to Princess is most enjoyable.

A Cinderella for the Prince’s Revenge is a spellbinding contemporary romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Briony and Cass’ love story is highly-charged, angsty, emotional and one that tugs at the heartstrings. The two of them are evenly matched and brilliantly suited and readers will love every single second they spend with them.

I loved reading this book completely and would recommend this book to all romantic book lovers. I am thankful to netgalley and the publisher for providing me the book in return of an honest review.
Happy Reading!

Emmy Grayson continues to prove to be one of Harlequin Presents’ most exciting and talented new writers with a fabulous royal romance brimming with passion, intensity and drama: A Cinderella for the Prince’s Revenge.

Life hasn’t been a bed of roses for Briony Smith. Since the death of her beloved mother, she has had a lot to cope with. Her grief-stricken stepfather is depressed and seeking solace in online gambling, her two stepsisters take her for granted and she juggles looking after the family and the household with working in the local bar in her hometown in Kansas. Briony has a lot on her plate, so romance is the last thing on her mind, but even she has noticed handsome newcomer Cass who has turned the head of every single woman in town!

The two of them have been indulging in a little flirtation over the last few weeks and although Briony is drawn to the good-looking stranger, she daren’t hope that their flirting could lead to anything more. However, little does Briony realize that Cass isn’t all that he seems. He isn’t a businessman, but a prince who drops a bombshell that knocks her six: Briony is a long-lost princess who will be his wife in eight weeks!

Briony cannot believe her ears! Not even in her wildest dreams could she imagine that the father she had never met was a king! She always imagined that she would marry for love, but Cass could give her the money she desperately needs to pay off her family’s debt, get her stepfather into rehab and give her stepsisters a future. Finding herself without no other choice but to say yes to Cass’ proposal, Briony leaves everything behind and agrees to a marriage of convenience. Only, she soon realizes that there is nothing convenient about her feelings for Cass…

The more he gets to know his soon to be bride, the more Cass falls for Briony. But having seen how destructive love could be, Cass refuses to share his heart with her. Dare he let down his guard and let Briony in? Or is Cass about to let the love of his life slip through his fingers?

Emmy Grayson understands what readers love about the Harlequin Presents line and never fails to deliver powerful and emotional romances that hit the spot every single time.

Prince Cassius aka Cass was on a lookout for Briony whom he identify as his future wife. He want a revenge on the man who cause him to be forced out of his country. The man is Briony’s father.

Briony on the other hand know nothing about her biological father who is King of Linnaea. She is busy taking care of her stepfather who is a gambling addict and alcoholic and her stepsisters who has no respect to her. The proposal from Cass will allow her out of a desperate financial situation and in return, allow him to get his revenge on Briony’s father.

It is a sweet read for me. It is a story of revenge, betrayal and love. The chemistry between Cass and Briony is remarkable.

Really enjoyed this one, especially after a good start but which was rather unsurprising (well, it's already all there in the blurb, LOL)
But this really came together for me when Briony sat up and started to come into herself, then wouldn't let anyone get in her way of being a beautiful human with a selfless heart. That was the true joy for me, and then to watch Cass fall for her (despite the insta-lust! He really <i>fell</i> as the story went on) I was so in for them to get their happy ending, which did not disappoint!
My first Emmy Grayson romance, but certainly not my last!

A Cinderella story indeed with revenge, betrayal, growth and love! Briony and Cass we’re quite the pair. I love how they were both able to discuss and overcome their struggles. That their emotional awareness and work was heightened with each interaction. I loved how the characters held each other accountable. Good story line overall! Definitely would recommend who love a twist on an old fairy tale.

Prince Cassius aka Cass Morgan, our hero has been frequenting the bar that our heroine Briony works at. They have been conversing and becoming aquatinted. The two are developing a start of a friendship, but definitely underlining sexual tension is present. Briony believes he's just a wealthy business men visiting their small town. But Cass is on a mission. Briony is a princess and he's here with the purpose of letting know of her heritage and to ask for her hand in marriage.

Cass want's revenge. Revenge on the man who exiled him from his homeland when he was young and that man is Briony's father. He has a plan and that involves marriage to Briony.

Briony's is taking care of her self-centered family. Her stepfather has a gambling and alcohol problem. And her stepsisters with typical dispositions of life not being fair to them and I hate you. They didn't have much respect for her or affection. And then add money problems, due to her stepfathers gambling, life was not easy for Briony.

Cass's realizes he needs to tell Briony why he's actually in town. When he does Briony is somewhat disappointed, she was hoping that their was the beginning of a friendship developing or hopefully maybe more.

Cass shares with Briony about her family and his hope for marriage for them both. The marriage would benefit them both. He can take care of all financial needs and have her stepfather get help for his addiction. He is well off and can assist in her country's financial problems, a country he's dedicated too.

Briony agree's, they leave the only town she's every really known and off to meet her new family. But she will soon find out her father is a disappointment and Cass has no plans to fall in love.

They both slowly become closer and are more honest with each other in what they both want. Cass comes clean pretty early about his need for revenge. And Briony is working through her realationship and expectations for those around her.

This was a satisfactory read. I did find the beginning to be somewhat confusing, felt like I was dropped in the middle of a story. So the start was confusing and slow for me. I had to push through and about a third way in I found myself more engaged in their HEA. Also the epilogue was a disappointment. It just gave the basic's for an epilogue.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Presents for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. It is always a treat to be gifted a book from Harlequin. This is a totally unbelievable book-but who cares! I truly enjoyed it. I read for many reasons, and this one was just to have fun and read about something that would never happen to me. The characters are interesting. Briony is delightful. Seems that Cass needed someone like her in his life. 3.5 stars. I think most romance readers would enjoy.

Quick Summary: Sweet and tender in the best way

My Review: A Cinderella for the Prince's Revenge by Emmy Grayson was surprisingly sweet. I loved it. From the beginning C and B had remarkable chemistry. They seemed to connect with each other, even though they had not known each other for very long. They each had endured hardships, they each wanted to do right by their loved ones, and they each deserved something special for themselves. Their romance/love story was tender and beautiful. The trueness of their hearts showed that love can conquer all.

Rating: 4/5
Recommend: Yes
Audience: A

Appreciation is extended to the author, to the publisher, and to NetGalley, who provided access to a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. The words I have expressed are my own and have not been influenced by the aforementioned in any way.

Grieving Briony has been playing servant to her stepfather and stepsisters and working shifts at the local bar. When Cass Morgan - secretly Prince Cassius - comes into her bar, the last thing she expects to hear from him is that she is a princess. Cass is dealing with the pain of losing his homeland at a young age and to enact revenge, he wants to marry Briony, the daughter of the man who exiled his family. Briony knows his offer of marriage isn't about love, but can she overcome it when she finds out it's about revenge? And can these two override their barriers and find love?

Honestly, the title drew me in (a Cinderella story with a hint of revenge? Color me intrigued). The book is a fun, quick read. I liked Briony and appreciated that she began to separate her self-worth from her selflessness. Cass was only ok in my book - definitely brooding but very much the "stuffed shirt" that Briony described him as. I appreciated the secondary characters like Alaric and Clara - I have a sneaking suspicion their story is the next one in the duology!
