About this ebook

The IRRESISTIBLE first novel in the #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING Once Upon a Broken Heart series, 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.

Continue the adventure in The Ballad of Never After, A Curse for True Love, and The Mirror of Infinite Endings!

... not my best read for sure. Evangeline had almost no character growth throughout the whole book, and stays the happy girl who dreams. ik ik, so sweet, but hey, what can I say? I'm a hater

This is one of my most favourite books ever. The relationship between jacks and Evangeline is quite complicated but as their relationship grows, so does their love. I love jacks because of the layers and complexity of his personality and he is perhaps my most favourite character in the book. I love how beneath his tough and cocky exterior is a man who is in love with in his eyes, the most beautiful woman in the world. It's a very good storyline and very well. Highly recommend. Happy reading:)

I really liked this book, good plot wist I suppose, if you don't really enjoy love triangles this may not be for you, I myself usually don't enjoy love triangles but we're all met with exceptions sometimes ^^👍
