Scarred

Knowing from the authors notes page at the beginning that this is a Dark Royalty romance aided in my enjoyment of Scarred. Like a lot of people I grew up with The Lion King, as well as having the privilege of seeing it on Broadway, there is a framed poster on my wall, Be Prepared as almost at the top of the track list out of the soundtrack. Scar is one of the great Disney Villains, and one of my favorites.

I was, not surprised but more amused at myself, that I really enjoyed this book. That it was easy to read and to follow was great, and as a bit of a slower reader this really only took me a few days to finish. As mentioned previously knowing that this was a Fall for the Villains type book, allowed me to sit back and just enjoy the ride that I was on. Most of the side characters I found endearing, or al least fun to read about. Timothy, Pete, and Simon are the true standouts. However I do wish that the more tragic or terrifying scenes left more of an impact on the characters than they did.

And yes this book was very nice and spicy, but it is a bit of a teasing slow burn! There's also wax and impact play!

I had such a great time with this, read the first few pages in Target, went home, and drove the 30 drive the next day back to get it and I'm so glad I did.
