Summary
A playboy prince in want of a decoy bride。
A servant girl desperate for a disguise…
Raven shifter Prince Franco is every social climbing debutante’s dream。 He’s handsome， heir to the Lunar Court throne， and deliciously single。 Every young woman wants to bed him， wed him， or steal a moment of his time。 Except， of course， for Ember Montgomery。
Half fae Ember craves freedom from her conniving stepfamily。 As if they weren’t enough to deal with， a chance encounter with the arrogant Prince Franco leaves her humiliated and in a fiery rage。 Nothing could convince her the prince is anything but a rake。 But when the opportunity to evade her scheming stepmother falls into her lap， she’ll pay the price—even if it means impersonating the prince’s newest flame…
To prove himself a worthy heir， Prince Franco must marry a princess。 But after far too many unsatisfying trysts， he’s given up on love。 With the social season in full swing， and bringing with it a horde of husband-hungry socialites， he’ll do anything to delay the pressures of both marriage and the crown。 And what better solution than an alliance with a desperate servant girl glamoured as his false future bride？
Locked in a bargain， Ember must pose as a princess until midnight at the full moon ball。 Until then， all she has to do is wear the glamour， pretend to court the prince， and above all else， not fall in love。 But when feelings emerge on both sides， she starts to wonder if there’s more to their contrived courtship than either of them planned…
Can Ember and Franco find love when the masks come off？ Or will illusions and lies prove stronger than their hearts？
ACOTAR meets Bridgerton in this standalone fairytale retelling of Cinderella。 If you like slow burn romance， fake engagements， and snarky fae royals， then you’ll love this swoon-worthy story in the Entangled with Fae series。
*NOTE this book is upper YA/NA featuring mature situations and some adult language。 The romance is slow burn but leads to moderate steam。
Heart of the Raven Prince is a complete stand-alone novel set in the same world as The Fair Isle Trilogy。 Journey back to Faerwyvae or begin your adventure for the first time with this enchanting tale。 Each book in the Entangled with Fae series can be read on its own and in any order。 Happily ever after guaranteed！

AUTHORS NOTE: Heart of the Raven Prince is now released into the wild！ I'm so excited for everyone to fall in love with Ember and Franco！ Ember was originally introduced in Curse of the Wolf King as a side character， while Franco gathered some diehard fans in To Wear a Fae Crown （The Fair Isle Trilogy， set twenty years before the Entangled with Fae series）。 Now these two have their own love stories and I'm so thrilled with how this book turned out。 It was very hard to write at times， but the end AUTHORS NOTE: Heart of the Raven Prince is now released into the wild！ I'm so excited for everyone to fall in love with Ember and Franco！ Ember was originally introduced in Curse of the Wolf King as a side character， while Franco gathered some diehard fans in To Wear a Fae Crown （The Fair Isle Trilogy， set twenty years before the Entangled with Fae series）。 Now these two have their own love stories and I'm so thrilled with how this book turned out。 It was very hard to write at times， but the end result was so worth it。Even though Heart of the Raven Prince is the second book in the Entangled with Fae series， it is a complete standalone story that can be read without reading any of the related books。 But if you would like to read all books set in Faerwyvae， be sure to check out The Fair Isle Trilogy and Curse of the Wolf King。 Next up， we dive into Maisie's story， whom you briefly get to meet in Heart of the Raven Prince。 Her story will be my Little Mermaid retelling！Thanks so much for reading！ I am so grateful and lucky to have such wonderful readers who make all my launches purely magical。 Happy reading！-TessonjaP。S。 Here's a peek at the hardcover edition of HOTRP。 It includes character art of Ember and Franco on the naked hardcover！ （And yes， all hardcover editions will have this art under the dust jacket no matter where you get them！） 。。。more

Another solid read from Tessonja！ A quick， heartwarming retelling of Cinderella that checks all the boxes。 I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the books linked to The Fair Isle Trilogy。 It was nice to see some familiar faces and what a wonderful ending （beginning？） for Franco。 I can't wait for the next spinoff！ Another solid read from Tessonja！ A quick， heartwarming retelling of Cinderella that checks all the boxes。 I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the books linked to The Fair Isle Trilogy。 It was nice to see some familiar faces and what a wonderful ending （beginning？） for Franco。 I can't wait for the next spinoff！ 。。。more

I loved reading about Emberly and Franco’s story。 I found Emberly to be kind， strong， and caring character。 Franco was a favorite already from reading about him if the Fair Isle Trilogy， so I was excited to read more about him。 I really enjoyed the story and I have really enjoyed reading Odette’s books。 She has become a favorite of mine。 I highly recommend checking out her other books and also checking this one out。 You don’t have to read the other books to read this。

3，5 stars。 So this is a Cinderella retelling and is set in the same world as Odettes fae series （to carve a fae heart）。 Our two mc are interesting and have sparks between them。 I just feel we needed a bit more time to see there relationship flourish。 It did seem a bit insta lovey， which is fine。 The story progressed nicely and had a few twists and turns here and there。 All and all a light read in an intersesing world。

Heart of the Raven Prince is the second book of a series of fairytale retellings by Tessonja Odette。 They are set in the world of the Fair Island Trilogy， another great read。 I really enjoyed this book！ How the author portrays fae is entertaining and led to a serious situation for the main female character that can't be fixed with a flick of the wrist and a magic spell。 Unlike the previous book， which has one narrator， we switch between the POVs of both leads， Ember and Franco。The stepmother is Heart of the Raven Prince is the second book of a series of fairytale retellings by Tessonja Odette。 They are set in the world of the Fair Island Trilogy， another great read。 I really enjoyed this book！ How the author portrays fae is entertaining and led to a serious situation for the main female character that can't be fixed with a flick of the wrist and a magic spell。 Unlike the previous book， which has one narrator， we switch between the POVs of both leads， Ember and Franco。The stepmother is a carry-over from the Fair Island Trilogy and I've disliked her for a long time。 It's taken to 1000% in this book as she torments Ember。 Some Cinderella fairytales have the step-family seem mean just for the sake of being mean， but these people have their reasons and are all the more infuriating for it。 Ember is quite the sympathetic character because of it。 Ember receives an invitation to a Lunar Court ball and is forced to go， else her step-family can't go and attempt to secure a good marriage。 Her luck changes when she meets the mysterious Prince Franco， who comes off as an arse but quickly changes his ways as he falls for Ember。 The next book centers around a mysterious character more mentioned than present， Princess Maisie。 It looks like it's going to be awesome as well！ I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest thoughts。 。。。more

I loved this second book in the Entangled with Fae series。 It was a twist on a Cinderella story。 We met Ember in the previous book， the fae stepdaughter of our favorite antagonist， Mary Coleman。 It’s fun to learn more about Faerwyvae， now that the fae have spread thru the whole island。 I liked learning more about glamours。 We also get to see a lot more of snarky Prince Franco！ The writing was beautifully descriptive， the characters well were fleshed out， and the story was immersive enough to kee I loved this second book in the Entangled with Fae series。 It was a twist on a Cinderella story。 We met Ember in the previous book， the fae stepdaughter of our favorite antagonist， Mary Coleman。 It’s fun to learn more about Faerwyvae， now that the fae have spread thru the whole island。 I liked learning more about glamours。 We also get to see a lot more of snarky Prince Franco！ The writing was beautifully descriptive， the characters well were fleshed out， and the story was immersive enough to keep me interested。 Things were a little more steamy in this book than previous ones， but nothing too vulgar。I wish the story had never ended and can’t wait until the next installment！ 。。。more
