Dangerous. Unstable. Obsessive.She believes in fairytales and awaits her prince. But I arrive at her doorstep and I’m far from royalty. The shiver down my back tells me he’s there. As if he were touching me. Cold, angry, aloof—he’s everything I don’t need. But I can’t turn off my attraction when he’s near.My sleeping beauty doesn’t realize just how dangerous I am. She trusts so easily, smiles so … dangerous I am.
She trusts so easily, smiles so beautifully. And while she sleeps, I watch.
With each passing night, I become more addicted.
Until I’m a man obsessed.
I feel his gaze on me, watching while I sleep.
He pushes me away in the light, but in the dark, he comes to me like a moth to a flame.
I crave it. He doesn’t know just how broken I am.
I believed she was the light to my darkness.
But it turns out my sleeping beauty likes to dive into the shadows alongside me.
She’s mine, but that decision could kill us both.

Amazing adaptation of a fairy tale with a modern paraphilia
—>>> Having discovered his fetish for somnophilia at the tender age of seventeen, Logan Oakridge has hidden his sexual orientation from others, but a growing obsession with the girl he was supposed to marry when she turns eighteen becomes something he is desperate to explore, especially now that they have exchanged words and more on a kink website as “Broken Prince” and “Sleeping Beauty.”
“She needs the prince, not a broken one, but someone who’s good, who has light in his life. Mine is drenched in darkness. ~ Logan
You have good vs evil, and incorporated twists which will bring the reader into the renowned “King of Chicago’s” darkness. The importance is the compelling willingness and consent Vera gives to Logan to explore what she believes they are capable of having.
Normal people have no idea how beautiful the darkness can be…
Fairy Tales to me are never happy sweet stories. They’re moral stories about overcoming the dark side and the bad. This is Logan and Vera’s Fairy Tale.
Logan is a man that has a particular appetite that women find strange and frightening. Therefore he believes he is a monster and he will never find a woman who will accept him as he is. He crosses paths with Vera who he discovers has more in common with him than he dares to hope for. Vera longs for a Fairy Tale in a world of nightmares. Logan realizes he is not worthy of Vera and fights against his all consuming desire for her.
With the two of them struggling with their inner demons and dark desires, I found myself caught up in the hope that they could eventually find their HEA.
This was a little different from anything I’ve read. This was a take on the tale of sleeping beauty. Full of sex, desire, violence and danger we see Logan the broken prince, mob bosses son that never wanted the life his father has. Logan has a specific kink he enjoys. Vera is also from a connected family. A full twisted love story with twists but ends with a happy ending. Five stars.

This is not your average fairy tale, and I loved it! I couldn’t put this book down. This is the story of Sleeping Beauty, Vera, and her Dark Prince, Logan. I absolutely loved these two. These two haven’t had the easiest lives, and will they every find their own Happily Ever After? Their story has a lot of twist and turns, and you will love every part of it.
Well here is a twisted take on a much-loved fairy tale. While She Sleeps by Dani Rene is a stand-alone story that is part of the Dirty Heroes Collection and to say it is interesting would be an understatement. I have read several hundred books and a lot of them were erotic and each time I learn something new, While She Sleeps definitely taught me some things I had never heard of. There is a little bit of repetition on the dirty hero’s part with him stressing over his particular affliction, but other than that the story was different, and I can dare say refreshing? Dani Rene has demonstrated a unique skill with story telling and her retelling of Sleeping Beauty is one I have never heard before. Not only is this a sexually erotic book but there is an underlying story that you feel compelled to get to the bottom of. I have to say I was pulled in once puzzle pieces started coming together because I just needed to find out what exactly was happening. I am sure a certain set of Grimm brothers would appreciate this story as much as I did. 4-stars for While She Sleeps by Dani Rene.
Vera is on the run and desperate to stay hidden from the man that would take her as his bride. Logan wants nothing more than to get to Vera and keep her safe, but he turned his back on her once before and now years later it is even more dangerous for her to be near him. Vera and Logan need each other but Sleeping Beauty doesn’t know that her Broken Prince just might be her downfall. While the Prince watches Beauty sleep, he knows if she woke and knew what was really going through his mind, she would see just how broken he really is.
I love these adult themed fairytales. Think sleeping beauty but, darker and steamier. You will not want to miss this book because it’s so good, you’ll want to read it in one sitting.
Great read, captured my attention at the first chapter and could not put it down. Sleeping beauty and her Prince, well kinda, altho a bit more of a modern version in a way, and a bit darker. Vera and Logan, she believes he is not the beast he thinks, and she is not the perfect princess he thinks she is.
