#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART marks the launch of a new series from Stephanie Garber about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after

For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings . . . until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.

Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.

But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game — and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy.

Oh this book was not very good. Evangeline is not very smart. The world was cool, but super didn’t make sense. And the last chapter… c’mon now.

Ok I knew a few people that hated this book or did not finish it. So I decided to find out myself AND I actually liked it enough to keep listening to it. I do not care at all for the fmc BUT, because of the mmc is what carried the story for me. I enjoyed his mischief. Reminds me a bit of a Loki type character. Jacks is the star in this book for me. It’s not a story that I probably would read again but I am curious to keep reading the series at least. Jacks wit and banter is what kept my attention. Does it have me kicking my feet and giggling. No not really, BUT it did make me laugh at a few parts and held my attention. It’s at least a 3.5 stars in my book. ☺️

Very young, the male protagonist held my attention long enough to try and read the second one but didn't finish. Would describe as a YA novel, and would have probably liked if I was under 16.
