If the glass slipper fits…
 
Allie
 
It’s hard to remember that love is a fairy tale when he comes to my bar.
 
He’s a complete stranger, an escort, an actor.
 
Now I’m playing his princess.
 
I don’t love the pretense, but the glimpses of the real man, those I crave.
 
Until the clock strikes midnight and this Cinderella finds out what the real stakes are.
 
Kaiser
 
An escort? That might be who I pretend to be. In reality? A crown prince.
 
I’ve been running from who I am for so long that I ran into a problem.
 
A pretty, dark haired, hazel-eyed, problem.
 
A girl who is all wrong for the life I’m supposed to lead.
 
The bigger problem? I like who I am when I’m with her.
 
Not the escort.
 
Not the prince.
 
The real me.
 
But it can’t last, not when my real life is catching up with me.
 
Can it?

A hero to rival any book boyfriend. A game that turns fantasy into reality. 

His name is Scorch, and he’s my fantasy come to life. I should have known finding a real life hero was too good to be true. But after he rescued me from my captor I couldn’t see him any other way.

Then he tells me he works for The Vice Agency, a company that simulates fantasy into reality. And that everything I know about the last twenty-four hours is a lie.

Except for the men chasing us.

Someone wants me dead, and Scorch is the only thing keeping me alive, but he doesn’t want to be anyone’s hero. He’s a damaged husk of a man.

I swear, if we survive this, I’m going to find a way to prove to him he’s not only a true hero, but he might be more than just the man of my fantasies.


 
 
Lisa G’s Review:

This is the first book I’ve read my Misti Murphy. It kept my attention and Misti does know how to keep the story moving along. However the premise of the story was strange, so very strange – so Kaiser is a male escort while in hiding because he is actually a crown prince. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Obviously, he wasn’t ready to become said prince so he instead he is a male escort.  Weird, so weird.  Allie is a bartender and meets “Kai” because this is where he comes to drink after each “job” at exactly midnight.  He drinks the exact same drink and doesn’t talk to Allie – they have a comfortable silence.  That is until one evening – he comes to the rescue of Allie and accidentally leaves something behind – Allie now knows what he does for a living and decides to use his services.  The push and pull between these two is enough to make you want to pull your hair out – yet, oddly, it kept my attention and I was intrigued.

Lines get crossed between fantasy and reality – both for us the readers and for Allie and Kai.  

It was a quick read and had some definite hotness to it.

3 Stars for me.

** I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

 
Misti Murphy is a sadistic b*tch who loves to emotionally torture fictional people. If she did that in real life she’d probably end up in prison or a psych ward so she prefers to create dirty talking alphas and the sexually frustrated women who fall into their beds. And if someone needs to be smacked upside the head before f*cking turns to love then that makes her very happy indeed. 
She’s a huge believer in flaws making us human, and that not everyone likes bacon. She’s also addicted to chocolate and scared of the effects of the coming shortage. She swears like a f*cking trooper, and thinks that graphic smuttiness should be as real in fiction as it is in real life. 
When she’s not writing she’s the perfect housewife and mother. Ha bloody ha! When she’s not writing she’s hiding in a cupboard with her kindle, scoffing chocolate, and stalking facebook.
