This book had me hooked! While the title hints at Sleeping Beauty, My Dark Princess felt more like a Beauty and the Beast retelling—dark, angsty, and utterly captivating.

I loved the enemies-to-lovers and second-chance romance between Oliver and Briar. Their chemistry? Off the charts! Steamy, electric, and full of tension in the best way possible. Even though I didn’t read the first two books in the series, I never felt lost in the story.

That said, some parts felt a bit long, but the dual narration in the audiobook kept me engaged. If you love a broody hero, a fiery heroine, and a romance packed with passion and angst, this one’s worth checking out!
