My fairy tale turned into a cautionary one.
Inked in tar and sealed in tears.
From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes an explosive marriage of inconvenience...between a tarnished Romeo and a reluctant Juliet.
It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball.
A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger.
But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love.
He’s fueled by revenge.
To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage.
His rival’s betrothed.
To me, he is a man deserving of poison.
A dark prince I refuse to marry.
He thinks I’ll accept my fate.
Well, I plan to rewrite it.
And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die.
But Romeo? He perishes.
Authors’ Notes: My Dark Romeo is a standalone reluctant arranged marriage romance between a cruel billionaire heir and a feisty heiress unafraid to fight back. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world.

Title: MUST READ
Review: This is one of the best books I have read in a LONG time.Where do I even start? One of my favorite parts is the writing⦠itâs witty, comical, intelligent. Even when they hate each other, it makes you laugh. Itâs deep. You actually like both the characters and, despite their flaws, neither of them are flawed beyond repair. Another thing I love is that the timing is done so weâll. A lot of enemies-to-lovers books either go way too fast and itâs totally unbelievable, or, they hate each other the whole book and itâs rushed at the end to bring it around. Thereâs character growth and development and it is believable.I find myself looking through book after book trying to find my next read. Many of the books have intriguing premises, but the writing is subpar. Or, less frequently, the writing is decent but the book lacks depth or character. This book truly has it all - stellar writing, fascinating characters, a moving plot that will invade your mind whenever you put the book down. I canât wait to read the next book in the series!

Title: good book overall - lots of silly humor, heartwarming stories, and kinda spicy!
Review: A lot of the language at the beginning of the story threw me off as it was a lot compared to what I normally read. The first third of the book was really interesting, second third started to fall flat for me, and then the third picked back up. Iâm very happy with where it ended. I loved seeing the MMC open up to the FMC. And vise versa.

Title: Your new favorite book.
Review: What an amazing duo, L.J.Shen and Parker S. Huntington did an amazing job, and gave us great book, a masterpiece that is going to leave you only wanting for more.This was my first time reading something by Parker S. Huntington, and for sure it wonât be the last time. And for L.J.Shen there is no secret that I am obsessed with her work. Every time I read a new L J Shen book I say that this is her best work, and every time she writes another one, I am completely blown away by her talent and writing. And this time, she did it again. I couldn't put the book down, I was fascinated by the story and I finished the book in only a few hours. My Dark Romeo is an arranged marriage, with a twist of grumpy meets sunshine, Beauty and the Beast vibes, standalone that is absolutely going to steal your heart.It was such an amazing reading experience, I had the best time while reading this book. It has everything you could possible want: from the constant banter between the two main characters that is so entertaining, the back and forth between them, the perfect amount of angst and the spicy scenes that are just the perfect amount of spice and steam, that in the end you will need to bathe in holly water for the rest of your life. Romeo Costa is absolutely the worst, and I am being very kind saying this, he is every woman wet dream, he is handsome, and he knows it, with a body that could make the Greek Gods jealous, and just his presence makes every girl and woman week in their knees. All of them, expect Dallas. Dallas (or Shortbread as Costa likes to call her) is the match the set fire to Romeoâs life. She has been raised in a small but very wealthy southern town with so much aged traditions in it. Even though she was sheltered all her life, she is so much more that meets the eye. She is smart, driven, loves to read, stubborn and has a mouth on her that most of the time gets her in trouble. I loved her obsession with all that is food, especially sweets, her enchanting personality and her passion for life. I absolutely loved seeing these two interact with one another, they were constant banter and their perfect chemistry. If you love a good enemies to lovers, grumpy meets sunshine and arranged marriage tropes, believe me when I promise you that this book is perfect for you.

Title: It was fun
Review: It wasn't life changing, and I didn't like that they used pop culture references but changed the names to even cheesier ones. However, it was fun to read, and I enjoyed the banter between Dallas and Romeo.

Title: Definitely Worth Reading!
Review: Slow burn love, but the love lingers throughout, leaving you constantly needing to read more! It's definitely spicy in all the best ways, without leaving you feeling dirty. The characters all play an important role and the details are perfect! The book is written well and holds your interest throughout!Romeo has a dark past and holds onto his anger. Later on, he was engaged but she burned him. After that, he lost a bit of his humanity and went into work/power mode and sought revenge for his wronged childhood.When he sees Dallas at a ball, he's smitten. He tells himself it's for revenge and to gain his role in the family company, but there's a deeper reason he won't grasp until more towards the end.Dallas, a 21 year old southern bell born into money, is stunning and raised to be refined. She starts out trying to please those around her, especially her parents. They sheltered her and she saved herself for her future husband more out of fear of being ruined than by her own choice. The future husband has been arranged since she was born and his name is Madison. She doesn't have feelings for him, but she likes him 'enough' and hopes to one day love him. He's kind to her and seems to mean well, despite being a bit older than her. Things change quickly at the beginning of the story, when Romeo sweeps in and steals her away from Madison. Her reputation is at stake if she tries to step away from Romeo, and she doesn't want to risk ruining her family name. Her sister is her everything and she won't ruin her sister.After going through with her marriage to Romeo, it's an ongoing battle with their relationship and her ex fiance is a constant problem. Romeo is cold and distant throughout but slowly loses his control over his emotions, while Dallas grows a backbone and lashes out in her journey of self discovery and even becomes devious! Both start to secretly harbor feelings and those feelings grow.Deceit, revenge, lust, past trauma, and love all play into the story and I have to say, it's one of the best books I've read in a while! I was on the edge of my seat reading this, without feeling overly anxious. Some books make me angry and sick from anxiety. This one had the PERFECT amount and I fully recommend reading it!

Review: There should be a better way for us to identify an exceptional book, because this certainly is one. Aside from the delicious man on the cover. I read hundreds of books a year, of all genres, but this had me from the first page. It is hilarious. The dialogue is sharp, witty and insane! Dallas will stick with me for a very long time and so will Romeo, and his friends. Such good work, thanks for the treat, Parker and L.J.

Review: OBCECADA com esse dark romance, simplesmente maravilhoso e cheguei a conclusão de que eu amo a escrita da L.J Shen e que quero conhecer outros livros da Parkerð©·, Dallas e Romeo não poderiam ser mais apaixonantes e loucos, eu amei tanto a personalidade da Dallas, uma mocinha doida e fofa, cheia de caráter e força, e o Romeo? OBCECADA por este homem, ele é louco que nem ela e muito mais duro de se lidar, mas no fim ele é apenas uma fera com a necessidade de ser amado e teve sua rendição, eu amei muito esse livro. ð¥ºð©·

Review: Obsessed with this story, in love with this couple and there are some steamy moments that will linger in my mind for a while!My Dark Romeo written by Parker S Huntington and LJ Shen starts with a debutante ball in a small town in Georgia in which Dark, Powerful and Larger than Life Romeo catches the attention of everyone, everyone's except for Dallas'. Dallas is more focused on the sweet treats (English Shortbread) in Romeo's table which peaks Romeo's interest in this wild creature. Romeo offers Dallas a quick escape, an adventure before she has to fulfill her commitment with her selected fiance Madison. What starts as a fling ends up being Dallas' worst nightmare as she gets caught and is treated as damaged goods being promised to Romeo, a husband she doesn't want and is shipped to DC, away from her family and her friends. Would cold Romeo warm to sweet, smart Dallas or will Dallas wilt under Romeo's care?My Dark Romeo is definitely one of my Top Readings of 2023: we have a marriage of convenience (or inconvenience due to its rough start) between a dark, broody and secretive Hero looking for revenge and a sassy, super smart and even vengeful heroine that will stop at nothing until she gets more than Romeo's attention. Not only everything she does to catch it, but Romeo's reaction to her actions are definitely super fun to read. Romeo was a Hero like no other, his inner conflict was amazing. Dallas stole my heart! Also there are some amazing side characters that definitely need their own story. I can't wait for what these two authors have prepared for us, this literary world is ready to shake us all readers.What to Expect:Dark RomanceMarriage of Convenience (or Inconvenience? Lol!)Vengeful HeroSassy and Super Smart HeroineAmazing Side Characters (we need their story asap)

Review: I started this book last night and I finished it this morning. I couldn't put it down. Dallas is everything, she's so stubborn and fierceness but also kind, funny and generous. Her humour was definitely my favorite thing about her. Romeo was a challenge for the beginning, not because I didn't love his character but because I think he was hard to break but he's nonetheless a character that I loved and I was really moved by his past. He was hard to read between the lines but Dallas got to him and they got to me. This book is probably one of my favorites now and it's also probably a book that I will read again just because their story was beautiful, painful but also so damn sexy! This edit was fun to make and I hope you guys loved this book. ð©·ðð¼
