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....

What to do when you hate the main character…

I barely managed to finish this story. I really did enjoy the plot overall but I couldn’t stand Evangeline. Her insistency that Jacks has caused all of her problems irks me to no end. She is the true cause of her problems. Even in the end she blames him for causing all of her distress and yet he has helped her at every turn. Also her need to always be trusting UGHHHH. Also I just couldn’t imagine the VA as the main character and that was difficult for me.

A fun fantasy book

The book was overall entertaining but didn’t have the consuming factor I am used to in most fantasy books. There was a lot of whimsy and fairytale themes which I enjoyed a lot, but the story and characters lacked depth that would have made the book one of those that you can’t put down until you’ve finished it. Overall, it was a fun and interesting fantasy, but I wouldn’t read it again.

just as good as the Caraval series

I was completely on edge during this whole book. So many questions and when I think I'm right, I'm sadly mistaken and it's addictive! I can not wait for the next book!!!

I Really Liked It

This book was so entertaining. It was a little predictable at times, but it was easily overlooked. The story line was unique, at least I've never read anything like it. And there were some good plot twists that made me gasp when they came up (and I listened to it at work so kind of embarrassing).

I liked it!

Had interesting twists and turns. Enjoyed the originality of the storyline! Excited for the second book!
