“...A quick trip into a sensuous fantasy world. I loved the characters—the abrasiveness and quick wit of both was hilarious, and the sexual tension between Dalton and Elara is oh-so-yummy.”--Cassidy, Joyfully Reviewed
“5 Cups!...Bravo to Ms. Wilkins for writing a twist in the book that makes the reader want to continue reading until the end. The way Ms. Wilkins allowed the two lovers to explore their bodies for the first time was so hot, I doubt a fire extinguisher would have been able to extinguish their passion for each other. The combustion sizzles between the pages as Elara desires to be closer to Dalton. I loved the banter between the two.”—Cherokee, Coffee Time Romance
“4 Beacons!...A lighthearted and often funny story. Elara and Dalton’s growing relationship is very entertaining, as they are two very appealing main characters.”—Moe811, Lighthouse Literary Reviews
“Enchanting!...A quick afternoon retreat. When you’re just a little bit stressed and need some relief this is where to get it. Kelli Wilkins puts an erotic little twist to 'once upon a time.' So put up your feet and relax while you slip into this enchanting story.”—Jan Douglas, Writers Unlimited
“8.9 rating! A Highly Recommended Book!...A new erotic twist on an old beloved tale. The interaction and friendly bickering between Dalton and Elara made me laugh out loud at the characters. I truly enjoyed this romantic tale and would highly recommend this book.”—Aline de Chevigny, In the Library Reviews
“4 Stars!...Excellent!...Ms. Wilkins has written a wonderful princess fairytale, with humor, stimulating encounters, and sweet romance. The characters are well developed considering the short length. The storyline is interesting and the sexual situations flow smoothly with the story.”—Polly, MayReviews.com
“...An amusing book that will seize your attention from the first word. Elara is a woman who wants to get married on her own terms, not those set by her father. The growing attraction and love between Elara and Dalton carry this sweet story. Ms. Wilkins has created appealing characters that will touch your heart.”—Tewanda, Fallen Angels Reviews
"A Grade Of B+!...The chemistry between Dalton and Elara is immediate and hot. While Dalton was a sweetie, at times I wanted to smack Elara. I know she is just a written character, but describing her as a brat is being kind. While I didn’t care for her personality, she was a joy to read. In fact, this whole story was a great read. Highly recommended."--Chris, Simply Romance Reviews
"4 Lips!...Fun. Elara reminds me of Kate in Kiss Me Kate. Elara has a mind of her own and wants to love and respect the man she marries. Dalton and Elara are made for each other. Both are strong-willed and determined to get their own way. I especially enjoy the ending, but I’ll let you discover why. It was fun and satisfying and made me smile. Well done, Kelli!"--Sheila, Two Lips Reviews

A fair-haired maiden was washing herself in a small bathing pool. He grinned and ducked behind a tree to watch. His appointment with King Maxwell could wait; this woman was much more interesting.
The young girl splashed water on her chest, dipped a bar of soap into the water, then began lathering herself.
He swallowed hard and clasped the branch in front of him. He had taken a vow of abstinence until he found a bride, but seeing this nubile girl… He closed his eyes and tried to calm his racing heart. The noble action would be to let her bathe in private, but what harm could come from peeking a little?...
