Synopsis
King Midas made me the woman I am today. Notorious. Unattainable. His.
The thing about being confined is that you believe it’s to keep the bad out… Until you realize it’s about keeping you in.
I’m now in a strange kingdom surrounded by liars, with no allies of my own, but I won’t sit idly by and let myself wither. No, there’s something that’s bloomed from the pit of my repression. Something dark. Something angry.
But the last thing I expected was for my anger to call out to him. King Ravinger.
He’s sinister and powerful and entirely too seductive. I’ve learned my lesson with trusting manipulative kings, so why does my chest constrict every time he’s near? I need to tread carefully, or I’m at risk of losing much more than just my freedom.
Regret and revenge war inside of me, and I need to figure out a plan fast before I get tangled up in the schemes of kings and queens.
Because I won’t be caught in a cage again. No, this time, It’ll be me setting the trap… I just hope my heart comes out of this unscathed.

Review
This series just keeps getting better and better. Gleam is my favorite book in the Plated Prisoner series so far!
I loved the way this story is shaping up, but not just the romance part, which is freaking amazing, but Auren really coming into her own. In this book, we finally see her stand up to Midas. It took too long, in my opinion, but little by little, he pushed her too far. And the ending of the book, wow, I did not expect that at all.
Slade is great. I love seeing how underestimated he is and how he uses people’s fear and disgust for him for his gain. He is intelligent and calculating, and it was so enjoyable seeing him use that to further his plans.
Now the romance between Slade and Auren is excellent! I loved seeing these two get together. These two people that Midas underestimated and thought were beneath him, and they end up not only beating him but sneaking around right under his nose.
I have to admit that I could have done without the chapters dedicated to the other characters in the book. While I understand that those will be important later, I thought they took away from the story in this book.
