Fantastic! This grown-up fairytale will at turns have you laughing out loud and sighing with despair. The characters are adorable and truly funny. You’ll laugh and cry at Lucky and Ransom. It really is a modern fairytale at its best. I was a little apprehensive at first because most of the fairytale retellings aren't the best but this blew me away. Its funny, quirky, witty while also being poignant, touching, heart warming and romantic. Thankfully nothing is overdone or underwhelming. The romance is written where you actually believe it could happen and thats more than most books these days can say haha the characters are so well done you instantly feel a connection with them and sincerely care about them. I can’t say much without spoilers so I’ll just say you want this book vacation. This tale will suck you in and leave you wanting a return trip to Ever After. I’ve already preordered the next book.
Sweet bite of chocolate!

This story was a sweet bite of chocolate. I ended up smiling my way through it, despite the disasters that seemed to follow Lucky wherever she went, even Ever After. She and Ransom totally deserve a Happily Ever After from their fairy godmothers! And I am glad they got it.
Ransom is a good guy, any guy that smells like chocolate (Lucky's observation) have a lot going for them in my opinion. Plus he does his best to keep his employees at his chocolate business (Heart's Desire) taken care of. He is just a decent guy and doesn't deserve the name he got so many years ago.
Lucky is pretty awesome too, with her chaotic powers of unluck. I really liked her form of justice by hug. She is really good to her friend Gwen though, and her two little "monsters".
There is lots of chaos (thanks to Lucky but also meddling by the godmothers) in this book but it ties up nicely and I enjoyed it.
