Description from the publisher:
Charlotte Daley is the daughter of the newly elected POTUS. An only child, she's both spoiled rotten and entirely neglected by her powerful family. She's been forced to eat with the right forks, smile at all the right times, and be the picture of perfection for months. Now that her father is in office and too busy to know she exists, she's determined to exercise her new freedom before she heads back to college in New York.

Zane Parker has one job--to protect the President's daughter, all day, every day. But she's been on a partying spree since the inauguration, heading down a dangerous path that threatens to ruin her reputation and cause a major scandal for her father. Zane will lose his job if he can't get her under control. Except he wants to sleep with her as badly as he wants to set her straight. She needs discipline. And he might be just the one to give it to her.

When unexpected circumstances tie Charlotte to D.C. for the foreseeable future, Zane makes her an offer that's anything but honorable. He'll give the first daughter all the thrills she's seeking in exchange for one thing... Her obedience. Fascinated by Zane's dark promises, Charlotte agrees. Submission has never felt so good. But as Zane brings her deeper into his forbidden desires, enemies surface and danger lurks...

MISADVENTURES OF THE FIRST DAUGHTER is the fifth release in the Misadventures series.  These stories are all independent and each stands on their own.

This was an amazing contribution to the #misadventures series.  The publisher’s description is perfect – something remarkably unusual and to be admired. 

My assessment of this story is:  HOT AF!  There is chemistry, friendship, danger, and true love.   The chemistry between Zane and Charlotte was undeniable and quickly grew for both of them into more than lust.  Not only is Zane protective and dominate, but when Charlotte is threatened, he is sensitive and caring. 

I could not put it down from beginning to end.  My advice for you – when you pick up this book, set aside the hours you’ll need.  This is not the sort of story to be savored; instead it will be devoured in one sitting.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Description from the publisher:
A beastly prince. An enchanting beauty. Only love can break the spell.

Once upon a time...

The wicked King Thorn forced the enchantress Zuleika to cast a terrible curse. She fled his court to travel the world, helping those who need her magic most. Until a search for her merchant father's lost ships leads her to an enchanted island, where Prince Vardan, the island's ruler, is afflicted by the most powerful curse Zuleika has ever encountered. She's not sure she can reverse the spell, but she's determined to try. After all, a prince who fights pirates can't be all bad...no matter how beastly his appearance.

Together, can the enchanting beauty and the beastly prince break the spell?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ENCHANT is the first book in the new Romance a Medieval Fairytale series.  Each will stand alone as a complete retelling of our childhood favorites.  ENCHANT is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

Enchant is the perfect name for this book.  It completely captivated and enchanted me from the beginning to end.  It’s not easy to retell a familiar story and have it seem new and yet hold true to the memories of our childhood as well.  Ms. Carlton has achieved this seemingly impossible balancing act with an amazing story.  We are all familiar with the Disney version and she has even woven some of our favorite elements of that telling of this classic story, most notably Belle’s famous yellow silk dress and the library every reader covets.  One difference that stood out was her explanation of why the witch enchanted the prince and it was a fantastic little twist to the story! 

Warning:  the wicked King, Thorne, is truly wicked.  Do not read if rape is a trigger for you.

I devoured this book in a day.  I wish I had the next.  The first chapter of AWAKEN was at the end of the file for ENCHANT and it looks absolutely amazing.  I sincerely hope I am invited by Ms. Carlton to read the next book in this series of stand-alone classics retold.
