Summary from Netgalley: In this romantic fairy tale remix, a cynical Los Angeles artist reluctantly pet-sits for her young niece’s frog and discovers magic in the terrarium — in the form of a sexy enchanted prince.


“A cute modern fairy tale of a prince that’s been turned into a frog finally meeting his princess … 200 years in the future.”

This was a very quick read. I couldn’t help wishing for a bit more; the romance happened very fast once the frog regained his humanity. I mean, it would have been nice to find out how he adapted to life in the future and how things turned out for them.

Still, this is a one-sitting read, which would make it the perfect fit for a 1/2 hour commute or ferry ride.
