My name's Mallory F'Cent, and I'm always horny.
No, get your mind out of the gutter. Not THAT kind of horny.
I'm talking about the horns on my head. It doesn't matter how I try to disguise them with updo’s and headscarves; they're two permanent, pointy reminders of my parentage - a feisty Fairy Godmother for a mom, and a towering ogre with poor impulse control for a dad.
I can’t help stand out even as I try desperately to blend in.
And now I've gone and turned into a Big Bad.
My heart is in tatters, and I've turned the man I love from sexy stud into a sad sack.
And the worst part?
Despite everything I've done to him, Stefan's still willing to fight to find our Happy Ever After and he’s determined to prove there’s a halo held up by my horns!

This was my first time reading Billie Dale and I got the biggest kick from this book! I will say that in the beginning, it was hard for me to reset the mental images I had for some of the characters from the animated movies I've watched into the human-ish characters who are indulging in adult sexy times lol. I liked the twist each character was given, and it was still easy to see some resemblance of the characters in the story against the characters we grew up with.
For the most part, Mallory does what she can to try and be invisible; she's already a bit self-conscious about her height, she's super self-conscious about her horns; of course it doesn't help that she works with the same people who bullied her when they were younger. Add to that the shirts her mom wears and it's no wonder Mallory and it's no wonder she doesn't like to draw attention to herself. Too bad that didn't work the day she met Stefan.
Stefan is somewhat of a mystery since he doesn't talk about his past or his family, and there's his second job he doesn't talk about, but there is a reason why he's not exactly forthcoming about that one aspect of his life. I like that he's pretty much straight forward about his feelings for Mallory, although his reluctance to talk about certain aspects of his life lead to a maelstrom of emotions on Mallory's part that seem to have dire consequences for both of them.
He leans toward me, his lips at my ear, “I love you. Always,” he whispers, the words vibrating from my eardrum to my chest where a hopeful heat kills me even more.
“Y-y-you need to move on,” again the words filling my mouth with bile, but I keep it hidden.
“As you wish,” he responds turning away from me.
Reaching out I grip his hand, reveling in the familiar electric current from his touch.
“Did you just Pretty in Pink and The Princess Bride me?” I ask realizing where I’d heard the words he spoke.
A small tug pulls up one side of his mouth, “I did. I’m going now to grab my old boom box to hold up outside your house while screaming ‘nobody puts Mal in a corner’ and leaning against a red Porsche across the road so when the cars clear you’ll see me standing there.”
My mouth gapes open. He’s prepared to act out every eighties movie I love. I’m stunned, my mind racing, he pushes me back into the house. His hands on my hips bleeding fire through my shirt.
“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. Hell, breathing hurts, Mallory. I. Love. You. There never will be another woman for me,” he aligns his forehead with mine, “We can make this work. We have to cause I will not survive another day without you in it.”
