About the Book
ELLA
It’s the wedding of the year—a lavish union of two powerhouses. But I’m only here for vengeance against the woman who stole my position as sole heir to my late father’s company, TimeGem Moments, and shipped me off to boarding school. I’ve only made more enemies since. Tonight is my chance to reclaim control. Tonight, TimeGem’s diamond-powered servers are this girl’s best friend. Unless he ruins everything. Justice Beathach, the groom’s unbearably hot brother, with hands built for war and a mouth that spells destruction. He’s lethal, unyielding, and now has me in his crosshairs . . .
JUSTICE
Ella Rendale almost killed my brother once. Now, at his own wedding, she’s almost done it again. I don’t care if he’s forgiven her or if she’s been wronged. I care about one thing: the locked flash drive she leaves behind, spelling my destruction. She can run, she can hide, but when I find her, she’ll give me what I want. But someone else wants her even more than I do—they want her dead. When our enemies close in, I’m forced to protect her, turning the fire between us into an uncontrollable weapon. Now, she’s not just my quarry—she’s my obsession. And I’ll kill anyone who even thinks of taking her from me . . .
My Review
One Shattered Crown is the dark retelling of the Cinderella fairytale with fantastical world building, a smart and cunning heroine, and a possessive Irish mob enforcer Prince Charming.
The story has …
- a wickedly smart FMC
- a stoic & sexy MMC
- combustible chemistry
- secrets
- surprises
- danger
- mystery
- betrayal
- more betrayal
Ella is …
- smart as a whip
- loyal
- a spitfire
- an escape artist
- fighting for her birthright
- refuses to be caged
“A happy Ella is easier to manage than a pissed-off sprite who looks like Tinker Bell but acts like the Terminator.”
Justice is …
- tall, Irish, & dangerous
- the anti-hero
- deadly
- cursed
- an alphahole
- can’t get Ella out of his system
“He’s lethal in a way no code could predict. The kind of danger you don’t see until it’s already in your bloodstream.”
Ella and Justice are explosive together! Their hate-hate relationship makes for great chemistry. Ella refuses to bend and Justice will accept nothing less than her total surrender. I blushed and side-eyed my way through their scenes together and laughed every time Ella obliterated Justice’s expectations of her. The jagged edges of their puzzle pieces fit together perfectly.
My favorite part of the story is Ella’s godmother Aura and her two BFFs Mags and Jos. They are so much fun to watch and are so protective of Ella. I love these glittered up, capeless crusaders! I wish they had more page time.
One Shattered Crown is the jewel in Rebecca Zanetti’s Grimm Bargains dark romance series!
I highly recommend them all.
