Dark Prince Road #2
Zach & Farrow
I thought Parker Huntington and JL Shen let out their crazy in My Dark Romeo but they still had lots more crazy to let go in this story! It was a hoot, initially it went from the sublime to the ridiculous and hilarious. Then it settled down to a wonderful, passionate, angsty and tender romance. Vibes of Cinderella including the lost shoe except in this case it was a dirty sneaker. And in Zach’s case, I would say there were hints of a male Sleeping Beauty. Traumatized by a car accident where his father died protecting him, he’s frozen in life, no touching, no emotions, a completely colorless life. Until a hurricane in the form of Farrow Ballantine arrived in his life, initially to steal from him, then forced to work for him. She turned his life upside down, sassed him back when he dared order her around, and taught him how to live and how to touch without aversions. So in a way, she awakened hm from a frozen sleep to vivid life. Or maybe he was Frozen like Elsa and he let it go?
Anyway, he fell hard and got obsessed and we were treated to a fantastic story, a slow burn romance, a virgin (guess which one?), and a zany group of friends who are a wonderful found family. I loved the group messaging, it was hilarious, and loved all the references to octopuses. Or is it Octi? The mango scene was wow 🔥
I had moments of laugh out loud, others when tears sprung in my eyes. Very emotional and very intense. Loved it!
