Once Upon a Broken Crown: A Fairytale Retelling Anthology by Sade Rena, Erin O'Kane, Erin O'Kane, Susana Mohel

5.0

"Lost Slipper" by C. Hallman and Monica Corwin is a hot and steamy fated mates, shifter short story loosely based on Cinderella. Abigail (h) leads a miserable life until Thorn (H) senses that she's in danger and comes to her rescue. Their first sexual encounter is non-con given that she's dying, and Thorn must do what needs to be done to save her life - during and after she is a willing partner. There is an age gap (H46/h18). This story uses some elements from Cinderella, but it's not your typical version of the classic fairytale. The erotic story delivers plenty of fiery action from a protective alpha male. Looking forward to the rest of the anthology.
