What does an author do when she's already done the unexpected by giving us two versions of Sleeping Beauty? She of course treats us to a companion novel to her bestselling The Frog Prince. After reading The Frog Prince and falling in love with the quirky and unexpected Leigh Fromm, Gilding the Lily-pad gives us insight into the man who steals her heart. Written from Roman's point of view Elle stays true to The Frog Prince by not changing any of the events or dialogue that occurs but instead lets us see the journey Roman goes on while he in turn loses his heart to Leigh and unexpectedly becomes King. Personally I recommend reading The Frog Prince first, but Gilding the Lily-pad is a great standalone novel so it's definitely not required.
