Oh Sara Cate, how are always able to bring the heat in every book you write?? Shattered Innocence was a spicy MFF Cinderella retelling and so much is packed in to the 170 pages. Birdie is being auctioned off to the highest bidder by her evil stepmother Clarissa, her stepsister (and lover) Violet will do anything to save her from being sold to an evil man. Violet asked her old hook up buddy Alaric if he would bid and win Birdie to save her. The stepmother is obviously horrible and has stipulations that must be met for who ever wins Birdie. I love that Violet is an alpha and so is Alaric, and they both want to Birdie to themselves, but find sharing is so much more fun. I could not put this down, this twisted retelling had me all hot and bothered. This was my first MFF and I think I’ve found my new favorite trope.
