About this listen

In this modern Cinderella story, New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker weaves a tale of stepfamilies, stalkers, and a suspenseful, sweeping romance that proves true love can conquer all.

Former military man and member of a royal family Callum Redmon can’t deny his sense of responsibility. So when his cousin’s latest love interest claims to have a stalker, Cal reluctantly meets with the young woman and her mother. He wants to write off the situation as a complete farce—if only his feelings for another member of the household could be as easily dismissed.

Since her father’s death seventeen years ago, Juniper Rose has been at the cruel beck and call of her stepmother and stepsister. Her fantasies of escape mean leaving behind her father’s beloved home, but enough is enough: when Cal offers her a way out sooner rather than later, June takes the leap.

Cal’s home in Maine with his military brothers seems like the safest place to start fresh. But as Cal and June’s fairy-tale romance blossoms into something real, they find that the dangers stalking them may have been real all along.

Critic reviews

“The way these two wounded souls support each other will have readers swooning, while the romantic suspense elements keep the pages flying with sky-high stakes and palpable danger…this dark, sensual Cinderella story delivers deep emotions and unwavering love.”–Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Firstly, if you have a character who is English, get English people to narrate. The dreadful accents they put on spoiled the whole thing.

Secondly, get someone English to beta read or edit. The use of English terms and swear words weren’t used authentically - it sounded like what it was, an American pretending to be English. Sorry Susan, but this fell short of your usual standard.

Cal is the most damaged of the team, he has the most scars, physically, emotionally and mentally, my heart hurts for him and the demons he still fights every single day. But that doesn't stop him working, helping his team and protecting those who need it. What he never expected was the feelings June unearths, he didn't think he was capable of want, lust, need or love, but June makes him feel.....everything.
Cal and June are amazing people individually, but together they are awesome! Both so selfless, so determined to put others first and so lacking in self confidence, but together their confidence soars, the walls they have built around their hearts crumble and the shattered pieces of their souls begin to heal, to knit back together stronger than ever.
An amazing series, I love all of the team. My only grumble is some of the 'English-isms' are not quite right, but this is a small and really picky grumble! I am looking forward to Bob's book, he is the slightly crazy one of the team.
I listened to this on Audible with Kindle Unlimited.
