Wow! This was a good book and is different than anything else I've read by Ms. Dangerfield! Velvet Cruelty is book one in a new trilogy set in the Midnight Dynasty world. This trilogy is a reverse harem with January, who was a very naïve virginal young girl arranged to be married, to a much older billionaire who she barely knows, who is kidnapped by a crew of 4 bad guys from her wedding as revenge on her fiancé. The story is loosely based on Snow White with the similarities woven in seamlessly and not in a cheesy way at all. I won't go into much more detail than that about the story so I don't spoil anything.
Velvet Cruelty has an engrossing, interesting story. I am a big fan of this author, but this book was definitely darker than what she normally writes and what I normally read. I usually don't read books that have any cruelty or violence towards the heroine, but I was on board for it this time. January was super innocent and the guys all four had moments of goodness and moments of badness in their behavior towards her. They are all different in personality and in their approach to January. I'm not in love with any of them yet, but I can see the potential for their relationships to grow in the future and I can't wait to see what happens. January and her men have begun a roller coaster of a journey with plenty of heat. The book has a wicked cliffy to top it off.
Overall, I really enjoyed Velvet Cruelty. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to see what happens with January's story in the future!
