Becoming the Dark Prince by Kerri Maniscalco
5.0
“I longed to touch her. First her mind, then her heart, and, finally her body. I wished to own every inch of space between us and fill it with each emotion I’d ever suppressed or pretended away. I wanted to strip my soul bare for only her to see and then do the same with my clothing, giving her everything I had of me. Scars and all.”
Becoming the Dark Prince is a collection of chapters from Thomas Cresswell that take place before, during and after the events of Escaping from Houdini. It is no secret that I was disappointed by the storyline in the third book. Disappointed enough that I needed to take a break and regroup before beginning the final book in the series, Capturing the Devil.
However, that was before I discovered and devoured this novella told from Thomas Creswell’s perspective. If these scenes had been included in the third instalment, it absolutely would have saved it for me. I think the original story suffered greatly without these pages.
If you are also reading this series, you must include this novella in your reading list {& thank me later} enjoy!
“The kind of love I crave isn’t cruel or possessive. Do not expect me to act either way. I will never beg or use subversive tactics to win your heart. I will warn it because you choose to give it to me of your own free will, or I won’t have it at all. I will never manipulate you. No one should. And if they do? They aren’t worth your time.”
