Fair warning: get a box of tissues, a tub of your favorite ice cream, and hang on for dear life!
Lance Jacobs. Ex-Navy SEAL and Roseboro’s new Most Eligible Bachelor. Charlotte Dunn, baker, friend to Thomas Goldstone’s fiancé, Mia Karakova.
Lance was called home to take over his family’s business, but his heart was not in it. Charlotte, on the other hand, had to contend with running a bakery and battling with a scheming stepmother whose mission in life is to make her life hell.
This is the third installment to Lauren Landish’s Dirty Fairy Tales series, and, though I am torn, I have to say that it is by far the best of the three.
In Beauty and the Billionaire, I fell in love with Thomas’s eccentricities (if you can call it that), and Mia’s geeky quirkiness. The story, in itself, was light, although the plot was not.
In Not so Prince Charming, I cried for Izzy and Gabe. I loved how Lauren Landish led us through the struggles these two souls had to go through, how Izzy had to claw her way out of the despair that her life had become. I loved how Gabe, the fallen angel that he was, found his redemption in the end.
In Happily Never After … wow. Just, wow. Every page, every plot twist, felt like riding a roller-coaster without a seatbelt on, and you have to hang on for dear life. I laughed, I blushed, I wanted to climb into the book and slap Charlotte’s step-mother and stepsister to kingdom-come for their attitude. My heart broke for Gabe again. I wanted…I wanted… and Trixie?! Ugly. Cry.
Dear reader, hang on for dear life. Get to know Lance and Charlotte. Get to know the people of Roseboro. You won’t regret it.
Lastly. I think, no, I believe, that the Dirty Fairy Tales should not be turned into an audiobook. It should be turned into a TV series!
