I've always enjoyed reading Decadent Publishing's 1Night Stand series. They're short and sweet with just the right amount of sexy that makes them the perfect read when you're on your lunch break or just in need for a feel good story to get lost into.Being Prince Charming focuses on an older and more mature couple, August and Lissa, who has been married for 20+ years. Feeling empty with life and with the kids out of the house, Lissa is lonelier than ever especially with August, a Marine, always being away. When August chooses the corps over her, she is fed up. They get into a heated argument, harsh words are exchanged and within a blink of an eye, Lissa walks out of the house and out of August's life without a backwards glance. With too much pride, August refuses to go after Lissa.Two years later and with a divorce, Lissa is ready to move on and marry Julian, a caring and loving man (or so she thought). However, August is back for a second chance and he's given up everything including the Marine Corps to be with Lissa. With the help of Madame Eve's 1Night Stand dating service, August gets one night to prove to Lissa that he's everything she's every wanted. Yet, if he fails Lissa will become the wife of another man in the morning.Being Price Charming was a great read. Don't judge the story by it's shortness. It's well-written with developed and likeable characters and an engaging plot. D.L. Jackson brings forth a story that is both realistic and with emotional depth. This story has equal amounts of sweet and tender moments along with sexy ones that balances each other out nicely. The story also carries a light and humorous tone at times which I enjoyed. I sympathized with the characters, August and Lissa, and cheered for them throughout the story.In the end, Being Prince Charming was well worth the read. It's a satisfying feel-good story about a second chance at love. I got this as a freebie, but I'll gladly pay full price for it.
