Another fantastic HEA by the awesome Lauren Landish
I absolutely can’t wait to read what happens next . This series of books are a perfect combination of suspense romance and a bit of humor. You will never regret reading this series or anything from this author !
Ahh the saga continues and so do the sexy couplings! This is the second book in the Dirty Fairy Tales series. I highly recommend reading Beauty and the Billionaire first because there is a continuing storyline that spans the series. There aren’t cliffhangers per se but more like an underlying issue that is being dealt with over the separate stories.
Isabella “Izzy” Turner has had a rough life and that is a severe understatement. In waltzes mystery man, Gabriel “Gabe” Jackson. Izzy struggles with letting anyone help her but Gabe jumps in like a knight in shining armor. Izzy is in danger but is Gabe the protector or the danger itself? I was sucked into the story and didn’t want to put this book down. Izzy was driven to earn each day in life to get to the next. Gabe is a complex Hero who earns that capital H. I cannot wait for Charlotte’s story! This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.
Gabriel is a hit man with an assignment to kill Isabella. Isabella is a college student that has been through her share of difficult times. All she does is study, sleep and repeat. When she meets Gabriel things take a drastic turn. The two have steamy chemistry but will Gabriel choose Isabella over his job? A read that will draw you in and keep you reading to the last page.

This is the second book in this amazing series. Gabriel is a ruthless hit-man who is assigned his next target for a revenge killing. Isabella is the target who is unaware that she is in any danger. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written flawless story, which is filled with drama, action, danger, suspense, mystery, passion and love. I was intrigued and hooked throughout, and highly recommend for all.
Oh my what I read I couldn’t put down and devoured every page…Gabriel is a hit man and his next contract is Isabella, Mia’s BF from the first book. An enemy wants her dead to get back at Thomas and Mia, so he can swoop in for the kill but what he doesn’t realize is that he picked the wrong man for the hit. Gabe doesn’t hurt innocents and something isn’t right with this hit as he stalks Bella but he needs information that this contract will give him. As he investigates further he makes contact with Bella and what he finds is someone he can’t justify in killing, now he has to get out of the contract, protect Bella and come out of it unscathed…will he succeed.
An amazing amazing read with oh my steamy steamy scenes, some suspense, danger, a bad boy hitman who has some morals and a woman who has struggled all her life and is stronger than anyone. I LOVED these two and their sparks, I LOVED that Gabe wasn’t a man wh*** and that he didn’t hide or run away from his feelings. I also LOVED LOVED LOVED what happens when she finds out the truth…refreshing. I LOVED that there were no games played, no others coming between them and everything about this read. It flowed beautifully without missing a beat and it has made it into my top 10 of all times.

Gabe has been hired to get rid of Izzy to hurt her friends. He has a code he lives and works by and he finds she doesn’t meet his requirements to get rid of her so now he is in a bind. This is a really good story and there is definitely more to come, judging by the end. This is a pretty good series so far and, while you don’t have to read book 1, it definitely helps.
Swoon! I adored Izzy and Gabe’s romance. It is the second book in the Dirty Fairy Tale series of books. It is a standalone read but there are story elements and characters that reappear. The story captured and held my attention, the characters stole my heart and it was steamy enough to almost melt my kindle. With plenty of drama, suspense, emotions, danger, intensity, twists and passion this romance quickly pulled me in and kept me hooked all the way through. A truly delightful read!
This is an intense, gritty story about Gabriel, an assassin who has honed his skills and is one of the best. When he meets his next contract, Isabella everything changes for him. This is a dirty fairy tale full of mystery, suspense, darkness, passion, twists that captivated me and a beautiful HEA.
An amazing rollercoaster coaster ride with mystery and danger. This well written storyline is a standalone but also has added bonus of some continuation of Beauty and the Billionaire of Mia and Thomas’s story as you ride this amazing journey of Gabe and Izzy’s tale. It is action packed with twists and turns, danger, suspense, and mystery. The characters have sizzling hot chemistry and passion as it seems to burn up the pages. An amazing must read.

Good plot, interesting characters and romance. Hot hit man falls in live with his innocent mark. Not a new trope but still entertaining. Lies, secrecy, and danger is the backdrop for the romance between these two. Gabe is the hitman sent to kill Izzy. He is looking for revenge and personal justice . He is good at his job and soon realizes she is not his typical mark. He does not kill innocent people. Izzy is a hard worker and has been dealt a few hits from life. Is she who he thinks she is? Plot twists, mystery and steam gives this romance an edge.

Thoroughly enjoyable story with great drama and intrigue. The menacing tone of the storyline was apparent throughout the entire story. The chemistry is platable, the suspense was thrilling and the connection between them was beautiful. There were plenty of steamy scenes to counter the drama making it a well written and engaging story. I loved the cast of characters in the story, especially him because I could really feel his character come through the pages of the book. He seemed very real to me. Recommend
Not So Prince Charming is pretty freaking Hot! I loved this book, it had romance, twists, suspense and some hot and sexy scenes too. Gabe could have been my husband, literally some of the lines I was sharing with him because they have fallen out his mouth before. It made me love Gabe even more, the man is HOT and fierce when it comes to Izzy. Talk about spit fire! She has a heart of gold, deals with everything life throws at her and just keeps pushing through her tenacity and fire where my favorite. I also loved her ability to still be open for happiness and love even with all the crap flying around her.
Great read!
What a amazing read that will have you loving the flow of this book writing. You will be wanting the next book and so cant wait. This is a amazing love story full of love and amazing life.
This is a great read hot and spicy with a touch of drama and suspense. The characters are well developed and engaging and storyline flows easily with loads of twist and turns.

This was a great read.
It was full of action, suspense, a little bit of blood, a little bit of love and a good helping of steam.
Gabe was the bad boy assassin who made the mistake(?) of falling for his mark.
Isabella was the mark who unbeknownst to her, fell for her would be killer.
Their troubles, the hurdles they got over to find and keep eachother safe will keep you on the edge of your seat.
You dont have to reading the first book of the series before this, I didnt, but Im going to now. Thomas and Mia were interesting.
Now I am waiting for Charolettes story.
Yay!
I would recommend.
Happy reading!

Wow excellent thriller and romance
Once again, Lauren Landish caught me: she managed to make me appreciate a hitman. He has a case of conscience when he has to murder Isabella: he does not understand why she is targeted knowing that he always includes in his contract that the target must be guilty in one way or another, and moreover, he is extremely attracted to her.
Isabella has nothing, only her studies in court and her job that keeps her to the bare minimum to live.
The plot to eliminate her is very complex because she’s only a pawn and she herself has no idea.
The characters are excellent, with character, the whole is very well written. I loved the scene at the shooting range which is both torrid without anything happening. Really fabulous reading that it is impossible to stop once started.

This is a twisted spin on a fairy tale and I absolutely loved it.
Gabriel is a hitman hired to kill Isabella (aka Izzy/Bella). He was driven into that life seeking answers and vengeance. Answers is what Blackwell promises if Gabe can complete a hit on Isabella. But Gabe’s got a code. He researches each target to ensure they are “bad” people. But the more he looks into Isabella, the tougher it is to understand why someone would want her dead. And he can’t deny his growing feelings toward her.
Izzy can’t catch a break in life, but she refuses to let that get her down. She’s a fighter, pushing long hours at a job while going to school. All while battling the creepy land owner of her house who is extorting her. But even though the world is weighing heavy on her, she pushes through.
The writing is stellar. Normally, with romantic suspense stories, it’s tough to find that right balance between the two elements. Here, it’s perfect. The romance builds slowly and burns hot. The characters are fully fleshed out and change so much throughout the story, it’s absolutely beautiful to watch. There’s a full cast of characters here as well, all fully formed and integral in moving the story along. The action/suspense element keeps you on edge and the author doesn’t hold back at all. So you can expect some violence. And the added 3rd POV (a few scenes) from Blackwell’s perspective, adds yet another layer to the story. The action doesn’t fade nor does the romance. And even though the story feels long, the complexity of it requires it. Anything less would have made me feel robbed. It’s an excellent story that will take you through an array of emotions. But ultimately, you’ll be left smiling at the beauty that is the Not So Prince Charming and his Princess.
Side note… this book is a stand-alone with respect to their relationship. But as far as the suspense element of the storyline, that carries through, likely picking up from book 1. I got a general idea regarding the driving reason behind “why” Blackwell wanted Izzy killed as well as Goldstone and Blackwell’s background, but I suspect the details are part of book 1 and that the suspense portion of the story will carry on into the next book in this series.
