Cinderella retelling with four hot stepbrothers.


This is my first book by Rosa Lee and I honestly can tell I enjoyed her writing!

This is a fantastic story, I was captivated by the instant connection between Ember and the boys. All of them carry some trauma and they bonded with each other over it. They love for eachother was beautiful. The action, spice and darkness evenly spaced through the book.
But before you start, please read the trigger warning ⚠️.
I was lucky to receive an ARC copy, thank you!

Filthy smutty dirty scenes. The perfect relax cleanser read. Not really a fan of the Cinderella retelling and the last 2 chapters and it trying to tie up loose ends. Also I was a little confused on all the characters ages the whole time and whether it ranged from 17-19 or not. But the book served its purpose and was steamy to say the least.

I am surprised at how cringe I found this to be. I LOVE the Highgate Prep series but this book was just NOT it for me.

Dark romance 

I liked this book. The steamy scenes were on fire. The dirty talk was filthy. The chemistry was palpable. Full disclosure: I completely skipped the SA scene. As soon as it started, I flipped to the next chapter and never regretted that decision. Overall, a lot of fun.
