Inked in tar and sealed in tears. From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes an explosive marriage of inconvenience...between a tarnished Romeo and a reluctant Juliet. It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes. Authors’ Notes: My Dark Romeo is a standalone reluctant arranged marriage romance between a cruel billionaire heir and a feisty heiress unafraid to fight back. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world. Review: Your new favorite book. - What an amazing duo, L.J.Shen and Parker S. Huntington did an amazing job, and gave us great book, a masterpiece that is going to leave you only wanting for more. This was my first time reading something by Parker S. Huntington, and for sure it won’t be the last time. And for L.J.Shen there is no secret that I am obsessed with her work. Every time I read a new L J Shen book I say that this is her best work, and every time she writes another one, I am completely blown away by her talent and writing. And this time, she did it again. I couldn't put the book down, I was fascinated by the story and I finished the book in only a few hours. My Dark Romeo is an arranged marriage, with a twist of grumpy meets sunshine, Beauty and the Beast vibes, standalone that is absolutely going to steal your heart. It was such an amazing reading experience, I had the best time while reading this book. It has everything you could possible want: from the constant banter between the two main characters that is so entertaining, the back and forth between them, the perfect amount of angst and the spicy scenes that are just the perfect amount of spice and steam, that in the end you will need to bathe in holly water for the rest of your life. Romeo Costa is absolutely the worst, and I am being very kind saying this, he is every woman wet dream, he is handsome, and he knows it, with a body that could make the Greek Gods jealous, and just his presence makes every girl and woman week in their knees. All of them, expect Dallas. Dallas (or Shortbread as Costa likes to call her) is the match the set fire to Romeo’s life. She has been raised in a small but very wealthy southern town with so much aged traditions in it. Even though she was sheltered all her life, she is so much more that meets the eye. She is smart, driven, loves to read, stubborn and has a mouth on her that most of the time gets her in trouble. I loved her obsession with all that is food, especially sweets, her enchanting personality and her passion for life. I absolutely loved seeing these two interact with one another, they were constant banter and their perfect chemistry. If you love a good enemies to lovers, grumpy meets sunshine and arranged marriage tropes, believe me when I promise you that this book is perfect for you. Review: So bad it’s good - Dallas Costa, a strong-willed woman who refuses to marry a man she doesn’t want, is caught in a twisted game of revenge when she meets her Romeo, a guy who’s driven by anything but love. Their connection is instant, but not in the typical romantic way. He sees her as a pawn in his plot to get back at his rival, and she’s got her own vendetta against him. The banter between these two is pure gold—so much dry humor and teasing that you’ll be laughing out loud. Seriously, some of the things they say to each other had me cracking up. While there isn’t a super complex plot, the chemistry between Dallas and Romeo makes up for it. Their tension-filled interactions and smutty moments are steamy, and the emotional connection is surprisingly real considering the circumstances. I’ll admit, I couldn’t put it down, even though I know it’s not going to win any literary awards. Sometimes, you just need a fun, entertaining book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and My Dark Romeo delivers on that front. There are some odd moments—like the random references to Riverdale and TikTok—but it didn’t ruin the fun for me. If you're looking for a book with wild drama, steamy scenes, and a lot of humor, give this one a try. It’s the kind of read that’s so bad it’s good, and I absolutely had a great time with it. ᪥ Dark Romance ᪥ Arranged Marriage ᪥ Age Gap ᪥ Billionaire ᪥ Mafia ᪥ Enemies To Lovers ᪥ Dual POV ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #28,615 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #225 in New Adult & College Romance (Books) #651 in Contemporary Romance (Books) #1,829 in Romantic Suspense (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 46,231 Reviews | ## Images ![Alternate Paperback - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6160DbcA6HL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your new favorite book. *by A***R on March 16, 2023* What an amazing duo, L.J.Shen and Parker S.

Yes, please! *by L***E on November 8, 2025* 📖 My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington Rating: ★★★★.5 Okay, so I just finished *My Dark Romeo* and my brain is still doing cartwheels, but like, the good kind. If L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington write it, my finger is already hovering over that 'buy now' button, no questions asked! And this one? It absolutely delivered. Seriously, this book is a masterclass in slow-burn, will-they-won't-they tension that had me absolutely hooked. It's a dark romance, yes, and oh my goodness, the spice is definitely there, but it's so much more than just that. The way they balance the intense heat with genuine character development? *Chef's kiss*. Dallas, bless her heart, is so much more than her character initially lets on. She's smart, sassy, and genuinely loving, not just a pawn in some grand revenge scheme. (Though, side note, maybe we could tone down the "she loves to eat" bits just a tiny bit, haha, relatable but also, girl's got layers!). And Romeo? *Swoon*. He's the morally gray MMC of my dreams, seriously. His character arc is a strong, compelling part of the book, watching him navigate his own darkness and evolve. This story dives deep into an arranged marriage where Romeo, a cruel billionaire heir, is out for vengeance against Dallas, a feisty heiress who is absolutely not afraid to fight back. Their dynamic is a wild dance of power, vulnerability, and shifting alliances, evolving from initial animosity into something much deeper. They tackle some heavy topics, but with such grace and respect, which I really appreciated. The theme of breaking free from constraints resonated so much, like this quote: "Cages aren't made of bars. They're made of thoughts, expectations, and fear."🗝️💭🐦 It perfectly captures how these characters grapple with internal and external cages, seeking liberation. If you're looking for an intense, spicy dark romance with heavy emotional themes, morally gray characters, and complex relationship dynamics that give you substance beyond just physical attraction, then this is your next read. 📦 What to Expect 💖 Slow Burn Romance 🔥 Grumpy/Sunshine Dynamic 🤯 Complex Relationship Dynamics 💔 Deep Emotional Themes 🌶️ Plenty of Spice 👑 Arranged Marriage Trope ⚔️ Vengeance Plot 📚 Book Tags Keywords: Dark Romance, Arranged Marriage, Billionaire, Revenge, Morally Gray, Spicy, Emotional Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Enemies to Lovers, Will-They-Won't-They, Beauty and the Beast Vibes, Forced Proximity Triggers: Dark Themes, Vengeance, Emotional Manipulation, Violence 🎯 Final Thoughts Honestly, if you're ready for a book that will grab you by the heart and not let go, with characters you'll obsess over and a story that's both intense and incredibly rewarding, then you need *My Dark Romeo* in your life.
