Publisher's summary

Rosie is fairly certain that there's nothing wrong with putting a love spell on a foreign prince. At least she hopes there's not, because such a drastic measure is necessary in order for her to ensure that the perfect fairy tale romance she's dreamt about her entire life includes her own prince charming. As the heroine in her story, she won't be deterred by well-meaning friends, royal betrothals, hungry dragons, or the intriguing guard who stands in her way. 

Luckily, Rosie has access to an enchanted bakery and a recipe book of spells, one of which will ensure she'll win the royal heart she desires. Unfortunately, no story is complete without a few obstacles, and Rosie's comes in the form of a most formidable foe - a stoic guard whom Rosie may or may not be developing feelings for, one who is committed to thwarting her at every turn. But nothing will stand in the way of Rosie's happily ever after. After all, what harm can a simple love spell do?

Good Storyline. Bad Main Character.

While I absolutely loved the storyline, the main character is beyond frustrating! She is so determined to believe that everything is literally part of a fairytale that it's almost like she think she can get away with anything because she wills it so. She refuses to listen to any kind of reason but her own and is quite honestly pretty selfish up until the end. She doesn't seem to care what happens as long as it results in her happily ever after. So, if you have an enormous amount of patience for characters stubborn to the extreme, I would recommend this book because despite how frustrating the character is, it is still a swoon worthy romance.

Main character irked my soul

I wished Rosalina could fall off a cliff and since it is a magic based book, a new heroine would take her place. One that is not so selfish, delusional or narcissistic. I should have listed childish first. I wonder if the author meant to create such a dislikable character. If so, she has some major skill in that regard.

Worst main character ever

I was pleased this was a clean book but oh my, the main character was quite literally the worst character I’ve read about ever! She is so deluded you want to plug your ears and tear your eyes out. This writer may need to go back to the drawing board and create some characters who aren’t so asinine.

An old tale told differently but predictably

This tired old wore out version of this story has been told retold and rewritten till it’s s sad tale with no imagination it’s only redeeming quality is the performer. The time I listened to this was a waste of time and hours I’d love to be able to get them back don’t waste your time

cute story

pretty endearing story. predictable but still cute. I'd wish more of the series was available for free.

Poor character but amazing story

I loved the main love interest and the story over-all but the main character wasn’t exactly my favorite. I just didn’t like that she was so focused on herself that she couldn’t see how her shallow views were hurting those around her. I loved the resolution though and she started making a comeback for me at the end of the book.

Good

Definitely was a good story but I really wish to have heard more on the magical parts like their background history. The history on how they can bake magic and what kind of world they live in. But still a good romance story for sure.

Very entertaining

This story was very entertaining. Loved the character of Prince Liam in this story. He made me laugh & want to get to know more about him. Overall it was a great story and the narrator makes it fun and enjoyable.

Utterly obnoxious main character

I almost didn't finish listening to this, the main character is so absolutely awful. This is supposed to be a young woman, and she behaves like a selfish, delusional child to the point where it's unrealistic that the other characters can stand her. Obsessed with her 'fairytale', doesn't care how much she has to manipulate other people (right down to love spells!), dismissive of those trying to help her. If this wasn't part of a series, I'd have bailed out after the first hour.

I know these light-reading fairytale style stories can be a bit superficial, but I shouldn't be spending the entire thing hoping the main character does NOT get a happily ever after.
