โA hellish heaven.โ โ Publishers Weekly, BookLife Editorโs Pick
Sheโs his sweetest desire...and his darkest secret. From Wall Street Journal bestsellers Parker S. Huntington and L.J. Shen comes a tantalizing forbidden romance between a broken Prince Charming and a disgraced Cinderella.
The task was simple. Sneak into Potomac's most heavily guarded manor. Steal back my pendant. Slip out.
Problem number one? Americaโs most unattainable bachelor caught me.
Problem number two? He decided to keep me. As the help.
Zachary Sunโs winter may be the coldest Iโve ever felt, but he makes my skin burn.
Reserved, calculated, and savagely cruel, he thrives on the weaknesses of others.
Little does he know, he just met his match.
He may be American royalty. But this peasant will rise to become Queen.
Authorsโ Notes: My Dark Desire is a standalone double-grump romance between a broken billionaire and a feisty maid unafraid to fight back. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world.

๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐: This character series has been absolutely delectable. Fairytale-coded, billionaire to the max, and just full of angst and tension. I absolutely devoured it.
Ok thatโs probably too many food euphemisms, but seriously. I loved this book. Zach was a unique character, with a horrible back story and this incredibly vulnerable inner monologue. And Farrow was independent and witty and wonderful as well.
I loved the dynamic. I loved the unapologetic billionaire-ness of it all. I loved the story arch and the ridiculous happy ending.
Both books in this series have been legit. Iโm only sad it took so long for me to pick them up.

Love the gentlemen (?) of Dark Prince Road in this twisted Cinderella adaptation

I enjoyed the story of Zach and Farrow as these two very different people each deal with the deaths of their fathers in violent traffic accidents. Zachary is the wealthy son traumatized by being trapped under his dying father's body following an accident; Farrow's father died while she was competing in a fencing championship in Korea and her stepmother drained her bank account and cancelled her credit cards to prevent her from returning home for the funeral. The two cross paths when Farrow tries to steal a pendant once belonging to her father from the eccentric Zachary Sun's art collections. The spirited opposites meet and begin their battle for supremacy when Zach catches her in the act. Farrow escapes, leaving a battered shoe behind.
I enjoyed the characters in this story, and welcomed the reappearance of other characters from earlier stories involving residents of Dark Prince Road. Nice mixture of battling wits, contrasting family personalities, healing from past trauma, and revenge. However, my one big criticism is the grand gesture that comes before any HEA; it was too OTT , out of character for both of the MCs, and, frankly, overdone to the point that I personally would run the other way. Seriously, I almost deducted a star or two because I thought it was so badly done when compared to the rest of the book. In the case of this drawn out event, less would be more.
Otherwise, looking forward to Oliver's story.

Farrow may be Cinderella but Zachary Sun is no Prince Charming. The mission was simple sneak in to the most guarded manor and steal back the pendant without being caught. Unfortunately, the mission failed because Americaโs most unattainable bachelor caught Farrow and decided to keep her as the help. Zachary may be the coldest person but he makes her skin burn. Little does he know, he finally met his match but will this peasant rise to become queen?
You ever just craved something darker and the bookish urge wonโt be satisfied till you find the perfect book for the mood??? This was me and let me tell you this book delivered but with a series called Dark Prince Road what else did I expect. Zach is definitely a morally grey MMC but like I am here for it like โtouch her and โ ๏ธโ is one of my favorite dark romance troupes and shoot make them billionaires and itโs even better. Farrow was a BOSS and was totally not taking this manโs crap and like good for you sis cause sameee. I love seeing the characters from the first book because Dallas is definitely one of those besties I want in real life and now Iโm just craving more. This is definitely a series I would recommend and when I Stan whenever Oliverโs book comes yall donโt be shocked ๐คฃ๐คฃ

This one is better than book 1, My Dark Romeo. It caught my attention from the beginning and I couldn't put it down.
Zach has such a traumatic storyline that makes him relatable and empathetic. Plus he's amazing good looking.
Farrow has her own trauma that matched Zach's so well. She's a strong FMC, which I personally love, who works hard for what she wants. They work so well as a couple.
The writing is done really well. The story flows and makes sense. The banter between the boys is still my favorite part of the books.
I can't wait to read Oliver's story. I just the sister is better than Dallas.
