Title: Once Upon A Time
Author: S.K. Hartley
Genre: Romantic Comedy | Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: S.K. Hartley
I don't believe in fairy tales. I don't believe in glass slippers. I don't believe in Prince-Freaking-Charming.
Cinderella can kiss my ass.
I kiss frogs, sometimes even toads. I've given up on meeting Mr. Right, instead it seems all I meet is Mr. Wrong, Mr. Very-Wrong and even, Mr. Lets-Not-Even-Go-There.
Fairy tales are for morons.
Well, that's what I thought until Gabriel Black barged through my life, turning everything upside down. He's hot, sexy and little rough around the edges. But, he's hiding something, something deep. I can feel it, taste it and smell it.
Now I'm left wondering if he's my Prince Charming or my fairy tale villain. Will I ride away safely into the night, dreaming of happily ever afters? Or, will I stumble and fall in ridiculously high heels only meant for women with a death wish?
Once Upon A Time... I met Gabriel Black.

Once Upon A Time is a sweet, sexy, and laugh out loud
romance. This book is a standalone with no cliffhanger. A+ for that! You’ll
experience good writing, an interesting storyline, and loveable characters when
you dive into this one.
Payton is an interesting character. She’s stubborn, bitter
and somewhat frustrating in the most likeable way possible. She doesn’t believe
in Once Upon a Times and Happily Ever Afters. It’s too difficult to buy into the
fairy tales once you’ve been burned.
When Payton first meets Gabriel, he has an unexpected effect
on her. He oozes dominance and sex appeal that is difficult for even her to
resist. Gabriel’s character kind of threw me for a loop. My first impression
was that he was a dismissive and womanizing ego maniac. Wrong! So very wrong! If a perfect man were to
ever existed, it would be Gabriel.
As for the supporting characters in this book, I need their
contact info. ASAP! Everyone needs a Quinn and Kylie in their lives. I would
love to see how Kylie’s story plays out. Every side character in this book is
perfectly woven into the storyline to create just the right amount of emotion,
encouragement and drama for the journey to a happily ever after….
