“You’re no Prince Charming.”
Words screamed in anger, an
empty nest, and an emptier life are just some of the reasons people divorce.
For Gunny, a diehard Marine who refuses to give up the Corps, and Lissa his
wife of over twenty years, the reason isn’t a good one. After a heated argument
morphs out of control, Lissa walks away and in his pride, August refuses to go
after her.
It took two years, but Lissa is
finally ready to move on with her life and marry another man. Only one problem,
her heart still belongs to the Marine she left behind.
August is back, looking for a
second chance, and this time he isn’t letting Lissa walk away without a fight.
Gunny has given up everything, including the Marine Corps, for a second chance
with the woman he loves. Madame Eve has given him one night to prove to Lissa
he’s all she ever wanted—that he can still be her Prince Charming. Fail, and
she’ll marry another man in the morning.
For this Marine—failure is not
an option.
A quick read with a lot of the
oomph I expect from a 1NS, Being Prince
Charming had a great story with some amazing chemistry. It’s obvious August
and Lissa were meant to be together and their over 20 years of marriage attests
to their loyalty and commitment. I enjoyed reading a story with older
characters who had to learn to love each other in a new light now that their
kids are grown and gone. It shows that marriage and relationships are work, but
at their core it’s choosing to be with that person every day and sometimes it
takes space and time to really cherish what you have.
Ms. Jackson pens a short and
sweet story that packs a serious punch and I look forward to more of her work.
Thank you so much for the lovely review.
