She doesn’t belong to him…she belongs to the crown. Prince Tristan Faasa was never destined for the throne. That was always his brother, Michael. The same brother responsible for both Tristan’s tormented childhood and the scar that mars his face. When their father dies, Michael is set to assume the throne, and Tristan is set to steal it. The leader of a secret rebellion, Tristan will stop at nothing to end his brother’s reign. But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of war. The kind that begs the question of what’s more important, the crown or the woman about to wear it. Sara has one plan. Marry the King and eradicate the Faasa line, even at the risk of her own peril. But she never expects the Scarred Prince. He’s dangerous. Forbidden. And one of the men she’s been sent to kill. But the line between hatred and passion has never seemed so thin, and as secrets come to light, Sara grows unsure of whom she can trust—torn between vengeance and the villain she was never supposed to love. Review: Lion King but the villain gets the girl - h, so I just finished Scarred by Emily McIntyre, and honestly, it’s for all of us who secretly had a thing for the villain growing up. Like, screw the hero—give me the guy with the moral ambiguity and the better wardrobe any day. This one’s a Lion King retelling, but in a way that feels fresh. The character names are clever little nods to the original, which made my nerdy heart happy, and Emily manages to weave in some real-world issues without it feeling preachy. The pining? Perfectly painful. The character growth? Solid. And the smut? Yeah, it’s good. Like, really good. That said, the beginning was a bit of a slog for me. It just felt slow, and the whole “virgin heroine” thing? I don’t know, it feels kind of overplayed at this point. Like, we get it, she’s pure—now can we move on? But honestly, even with those little annoyances, the story just works. The writing can get a bit all over the place sometimes, but it weirdly fits the vibe. It’s chaotic in a way that keeps you hooked. It’s not some deep, life-changing read, but it’s fun. It’s steamy. It’s exactly the kind of thing you pick up when you want a quick escape and a morally gray love interest who makes you question your life choices. Definitely worth it, even if I did roll my eyes a couple times along the way Review: Enemies, Secrets, and Desire: A Dark Fairy Tale Retelling - 3.5⭐ | 4🌶️ Tristan Faasa (Scar) is planning a coup. Sara is betrothed to his brother and plotting revenge. But neither can deny their attraction… the result is a dark, steamy, and heart-wrenching romance that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Tropes: 💞 Enemies to Lovers 🚫 Forbidden Romance 🗡️ Revenge Mission 👑 Royal Romance ⚔️ Morally Grey Hero 🖤 Dark Romance 🔒 Secret / Hidden Relationship 📜 Fractured Fairy Tale Retelling Review: I really enjoyed this one—what a fascinating twist on The Lion King, with Scar stepping into the “hero” role. Sara is an easy FMC to love: kind, brave, cunning, and shrewd, with a strong sense of justice that makes her both relatable and compelling. Tristan, like the other MMCs in this series, is morally grey—sometimes even black—and harder to love at first. But as the story unfolds, you understand his tragic backstory and the reasons behind his darker choices. You start to empathize with him, seeing that his actions are often for the greater good, which adds incredible depth to his character. The character development throughout the novel is strong, and I was engrossed from start to finish. Once Tristan finally realizes he loves Sara, their romance is heart-wrenching, sweet, and completely satisfying. And the spice? Absolutely steamy and engrossing. Overall, this is a fantastic fairy tale retelling from the villain’s POV, blending morally complex characters, high-stakes tension, and a slow-burn romance that delivers both emotional depth and steamy payoff. A must-read for fans of dark romance and twisted fairy tales. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,258 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #999 in Romance (Books) #1,739 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 43,326 Reviews | ## Images ![Scarred (Never After Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jM15-xEuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lion King but the villain gets the girl *by B***D on June 11, 2025* h, so I just finished Scarred by Emily McIntyre, and honestly, it’s for all of us who secretly had a thing for the villain growing up.

The plot follows Hamlet/Lion King much more closely than Hooked did Peter Pan, but was different enough that I stayed interested. However, many of the intimate scenes were not to my taste. Dark romances should be sensual and tempting in my opinion. Aside from some moments early in the novel and a fascination with candles, this had crude and even repetitive descriptions. SPOILERS My favorite parts actually often involved Simon, which amused me. I also really liked the artistic/drawing aspect to Tristan and wish that had been explored more with Sara. My biggest gripe, as mentioned, were the intimate scenes. A lot of them were more crudely described than I like, focusing on an act instead of a sensation. Perhaps the author tried to make the scenes more animalistic. Whatever it was, it really didn't work for me and jarringly threw me out of the story enough that my first version of this review was only 3*. Some of the words used didn't describe sensations, but just reported graphic actions, which could sound unpleasant if not "felt" with the character. Other gripes I had were smaller, but still annoyed me. How did Sara not see the big hyena tattoo? While this is brought up later in the book, it just made her seem oblivious at best. This could have easily been handled differently without altering the plot. I'm not really sure what the point of Tristan's torturing hobby was. It had no consequences. Edward and the rebels stayed loyal, Sara never witnessed it, and Michael died before experiencing it. The torture focus just felt unnecessary to the story. Tristan still would have been "dark" by violently killing and maiming people without addition of the torture cabin scenes. Sara B. (I love the abbreviation) was interesting, but I feel like she should have been more successful in her endeavors. She was pretty much caught/discovered every time she did something, and we only really got to see her blade skills once (which was a great moment). Her Rogue skill failures weren't limited to propping up Tristan - sometimes they just happened across each other - so maybe that was supposed to hint at something being off about her mission (considering her family's true goal). It was still frustrating though, and I'd have liked to see her take out more opponents. I didn't like that Tristan kept using the "little doe" nickname. I wanted him to change it to "my lioness." The author got my hopes up at one point, but nope! Missed opportunity in my opinion. The setting was a bit odd. There are some Les Mis vibes, so connections to France makes sense; however, the book refers to France as another place and Lady Sara Beatreaux, daughter of a Duke, doesn't speak French even though the prince does and a lady in waiting has family there. What ethnicity is Beatreaux and is it really not francophone? ## Frequently Bought Together - Scarred (Never After Series) - Twisted (Never After) - Wretched (Never After Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/394184497-scarred-never-after-series](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/394184497-scarred-never-after-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
