Can her fairy tale romance last, or will she find that her prince charming is more like a wolf in sheep's clothing?  


My Review:  
First of all lets just take a minute to say these are the types of books that are easy reads. Just not because of the number of pages but because once I start reading I can not put it down till I am done. 

The characters are likeable and believable and the connections between them are written to keep you guessing as to what is going on. Then just when you think you know what is going to happen, it all changes. Twist and Turns! 

The title is perfect for the book. Author Angela Carling is amazing! I love her style of easy and the mystery she blends together to keep you reading. 

So for the reasons above I will be giving this book the Breath of Life rating of:

Five Clock Rating!!  

Disclosure: I did receive the above book in exchange for my honest opinion and or review. But the Opinions are my own and yours may differ.

About the Author:    

 
 

Angela Carling was raised in Palm Springs California, but lives Arizona with her husband, three kids and five felines. After years of denial she finally admitted that she is a hopeless romantic which led her to write her first Young Adult book Unbreakable Love. Since then she’s published three more books, Shackled, Becoming Bryn and The Secret Keeper. Shackled won the silver IPGA award in 2012 and has been optioned as a screenplay. She always eats the frosting off her cake and leaves the rest, and can be caught singing in public bathrooms just for the acoustics. When she’s not writing YA novels, she’s mentoring teen writers, making pizza with her family or dreaming of taking a nap, not necessarily in that order.
