Prince Charming picks up right where book one, Stroke of Midnight, ended and we get to see how the drama unfolds. Something I enjoyed about this book was the different Easter eggs weaved in that paid homage to the original story we all know. I loved seeing references to the glass slipper left behind, different character names, the pumpkin, and more. Much like Stroke of Midnight, I was hooked on this book right away and devoured it in a matter of hours. I swear K Webster laced this trilogy with something because it was so addictive.

This book made me love Winston and Ash even more. Their top tier banter continued throughout this story and honestly it just got better. You can feel their connection deepening in this story, even if they try to fight it at times. I said this in my review of Stroke of Midnight, but these two are so perfectly matched. They banter so well, are spicy as hell together, understand each other, and balance one another out perfectly. You wouldn't think that is possible given the large age gap, but their relationship totally works. I love when they tell each other to go to hell or flip each other off because it's how you know they care about each other.

Ash is my girl. I just love her so much. She's so bratty (aren't we all?), but also smart, beautiful, loving, and knows how to push Winston's buttons in the best way. We get to see her come in to her own more in this story. I loved watching Ash tease him, but also loved that she cared enough about him to introduce him to new things. The candy shop scene was so cute. Ash loves playing their kinky games, but she wants to be more to Winston, he just has to let her in.

I adore Winston and is brooding billionaire self. He claims to be a cold and calculating man, and to an extent is he, but he's also warm, fun, and caring. We get to see him open up a little more in this book and war internally with himself over his feelings for Ash. Winston is slowly losing his battle because as much as he tries to tell himself he doesn't care, his heart is telling him he does. I love how protective he is of Ash, but equally love how much she brings him to his knees. Also, this man is dirty as hell and I love it 😍

This book is super spicy, which isn't surprising given how spicy Stroke of Midnight was. There's more degradation, which I've learned I like, as well as praise weaved in there. There's a restaurant scene that had me sweating. These two are just so kinky together and I loved it. I now understand why people say K Webster is the queen of filth.

I've read book three already, so I know how it ends, but the ending of this book would have killed me if I had to wait for book three. This is why I wait until a trilogy or series is complete because I'm so impatient. Things go down towards the end that have you thinking everything will be wrapped up, but of course there's something that happens to make things hit the fan.

*The description comes directly from K Webster's website*

Winston Constantine is no prince charming...

I crave him so badly I think I might be losing my mind. He's right in front of me, but he's just as remote as my dreams of getting away from my stepbrothers. I keep playing his twisted games, and I want to stay just as distant as he is. But I can't. I never could. I've fallen for him.

Hopelessly. Irrevocably.

But Winston isn't a lover, he's a business venture.

A way for me to pay for college.

A ticket out.

He's never pretended to be anything other than that.

I can't blame him for making me fall in love.

There can be no happily ever after between a maid and a prince, no matter what the stories say.
