Category /Genre:  Romance, After the Fairy-taleReceived from:  David Meredith (in exchange for an honest review)Recommended for:  18+ due to violence and sexual contentGrammar/editing:  B – a few small errorsAnd they lived Happily Ever After.  The End.  Every little girly-girl knows that is not really the end.  "The End" is really the beginning of the prince and the princess living together as husband and wife, having babies, and growing old together, but then what?  When your prince dies and you are left alone and despondent, what then?Snow White and Charming had a story-book wedding and marriage, but all marriages have their problems .  This book answers the questions of why she had to have a step-mother and where was her father while Snow White's life was being threatened.  It also faces their difficulty in conceiving heirs for the kingdom, dealing with the merging of their two kingdoms, and, most importantly, how Snow White faces the future after Prince Charming has passed away (from old age).David contacted me through my blog page (request document: here) and asked me to review his book.  I honestly didn’t know what type of book I was receiving.  I expected a romance novel from a guy’s point of view.  Instead, I just finished reading a novel of deeply felt, all-encompassing, passion, love, and personal growth.  To then do my research and find that this is his first novel has absolutely floored me.  If this is what you can give us as a first book, I am excited to see where you may lead us next!This book is extremely well-written with a solid and unique storyline.  The story is a little dark; Snow White has gone through some terrible things before, during, and after her marriage, but all are told with sympathy and compassion.  I was in tears several times, but the end (the beginning) is worth the trip through Snow White's memories.
