Prince Charming by K. Webster

In this second installment, Prince Charming immediately picks up where Stroke of Midnight last left off. Ash has been threatened and accosted by the Terror Triplets and Leo Morelli but she is more determined than ever to go to Winston's birthday ball. This book felt slower than the first one but the emotions and feelings I had while reading it are the same. Winston and Ash's relationship is still dirty, sexy, heartbreaking, and even volatile than ever. However, I was frustrated by them both for various reasons. Winston is in denial over the possibility of him being in love with Ash. He continues to make excuses for himself that she is simply "the maid" while Ash is keeping some major secrets from Winston... one that might ruin their relationship forever.

I really enjoyed this book because of how it continues to flesh out Winston and Ash's character as well as expand the cast of characters to other potential stories in the Midnight Dynasty universe. I'm so excited to read Keaton's book next! What a fascinating character. And how can we ever forget about Perry?! I hope he grows up to be one lucky girl's PRINCE CHARMING, albeit a dirty one, just like his brother. Of course, Ash's prince charming will always be Winston.

Ash goes through a lot of physical and emotional turmoil in this book and I'm scared for what will happen to her in the end. Her love for Winston can be a double-edged sword. In addition to being threatened by Leo Morelli, she is keeping it from Winston. At several points in the book, I wanted to yell at her for doing that! He would have absolutely dealt with him. And now, it's possibly too late. This book ends with a cliffhanger that will rock both Winston and Ash's world and change their current relationship forever.

In the end, waiting for Prince Charming was completely worth it and I can't wait to read the conclusion to Ash and Winston's story in The Glass Slipper. Winston is still the same dirty talker and his relationship with Ash is actually quite forbidden because of her young age. However, she knows exactly what she wants and that is Winston. He has shown her another side of herself and they fit each other completely. I highly recommend this series to those who love dark romance with a fairy tale twist.
