REVIEW - THE CHARMING THIEF by Taya Rune


Prince Florian is the third born son of the rulers of the Kingdom of Dreams.  He is standing in his position behind the King and Queen along with his two older brothers, sister-in-law and his brother's fiance.  He is the only remaining single man in his family and they call him Prince Charming for a reason.  

He is bored out of his skull as each of the visiting noblemen greets the King and Queen before another takes their place.  He is at full attention as a gorgeous woman enters the receiving chambers escorted by seven handsome burly guards.  The Queen Wynter of the Fourth Kingdom.  She is mesmerizing and Florian vows that he will have her.

Florian enters the tavern with the rose that was his proof of him gaining access to the fabled private hidden rose garden of the master merchant.  His challenge was to gain access to the gardens, kiss the merchant's beautiful daughter and return with a rose from the garden.  His best friend Stic and he were well-known for their outlandish bets.

Today Stic wants to go the ultimate challenge.  The one Florian has been waiting for.  His prize will be to finally know how Stic knows if one is telling the truth.  It had been his goal to obtain this prize.  And Stic's prize is something that Florian is determined not to give up.  

But this challenge has a time limit - it has to be completed before the nuptial celebrations end in five days.  He has to seduce three women of Stic's choosing and steal their most prized possession without getting caught.  But he wouldn't release the names until Florian accepted the bet.  Florian knew there was a catch somewhere, but as he has never lost a challenge he accepts the challenge.

He has to seduce his sister-in-law, his brother's fiance and Queen Wynter.

I loved this fairy tale retelling in which we have three fairy tale princesses.  The story is very well written and the storyline is not only interesting it kept me laughing at Florian's antics.  Florian had already planned on seducing Queen Wynter and soon realizes that the other woman have agendas of their own.

Highly recommend this steamy hot book and can't wait for Taya Rune's next book!
