Velvet Cruelty

Sooo January...I really didn't know what to think about her for a while.

The whole thing with her was slightly campy, a bit silly, just a tad over the top... but then I remembered (after reading 90% of it) that January is supposed to be the analogue of a Disney princess and then it all fell into place for me.

She was just so simple minded, so innocent, so “I'm kidnapped so I'm gonna sing in my prison cell”. Like, Eve Dangerfield really succeed in injecting a Disney princess into a dark romance. At first it bugged me cause it just felt like, ridiculous, but then I understood where Dangerfield was coming from, decided to hop on board, and it was smooth sailing ever since!


But let me tell you! Even when I was feeling kinda Meh about January as a main character this book still sucked me in. The Darkness in this dark romance, and the nasty in these men is the closest I feel like I've come to getting the lords or princes from the Forsyth royals series. Especially Doc?? Whoo buddy that man... he's got so many good lines I would quote him here, but I'm still lying to myself and pretending like I'm a modest girl who doesn't read mostly smut
