"It’s kind of nice having fairy godmothers. Happy meddling!”

The last thing any wedding planner wants is to find out that she has been seeing the groom of the wedding she has been planning, this is exactly what happens to Zuri. With the last wedding she planned going up in literal flames Zuri finds herself pretty much shunned in the wedding community, which is exactly how she finds her self heading to the magical little down of Ever After for a job interview with Fairy Godmothers Inc. Fully down and out given up on love Zuri definitely did not expect to find her very own price Charming.

"Oh, but Phillip Charming was dangerous. He was handsome, and silly, and . . . And if she hadn’t just had her heart broken, she’d have taken him to bed. Right then, right there. She still wanted to."

Phillip Charming has spent the better part of 300 years sitting in a pond living out his punishment as a frog, after upsetting Petty. With true loves kiss being the only thing that can break his curse Phillip is fast running out of time but there is just something about the new comer that just calls to Phillip's heart, the question is will Zuri be able to break the curse before its to late?

"He found himself for the first time imagining a future. Not just all the things he would do once he no longer had to spend his days green, but he imagined this. With Zuri."

“Sugar is always the answer.” Petunia nodded.
“If it can’t be fixed with a brownie, try an ice cream soda. If that doesn’t work, well, we go to the sugarcane spirits.” Bon-Bon giggled .
“That’s what I’m going to call it from now on. We’re consulting the spirits.”

Oh my sweetness this was just perfection, I thought I loved Lucky and Ransom that is until I got into Zuri and Phillip's book. I loved getting to see the Godmothers again, these three little ladies were just amazing, I loved every bit of their sugar crazy meddling!

••

"No one was perfect but that I would meet someone perfect for me. That our angels and our demons would play well together. I wouldn’t have thought that. Our angels, maybe. But not our demons.”

Zuri was such a sweetheart, I loved getting to see her fall in love with love again. Even though she wasn't magical watching her plan weddings was magical in itself. As for our price Charming, my heart went out to him for his frogy time but I do think he definitely learnt his lesson.

"She was torn between wanting him to grab her, kiss her hard, and bang her like a screen door in a hurricane,"

The secondary characters in this book were top notch so much so they rivaled the mains, I absolutely can not wait to get Hunters book and hopefully Ravenna's as well! I loved that they all had bits to contribute. Also how cute was Zeva!

I love a good fairytale romance and DeWylde has created the perfect mix of swoony sweetness and steamy romance topped of with a sprinkle of fairy dust. This is definitely a series to read!

What an absolute riot! Loved the first book, "Fairy Godmothers, Inc", and giggled through it so was glad to get a preview of Men Are Frogs and it was just as wonderful as the first book! I love how DeWylde turns a classic fairytale and turns it on it's ear with hilarious outcomes. Zuri and Phillip are wonderful as are all the characters. Hope to read more in the future

I really can't decide if I love this one as much or more than book one. Saranna Dewylde is one of those rare gems that I could read all day every day. I love her characters, her wit, and her created worlds. I can not wait for more in this series.

Men are Frogs by Saranna DeWylde is the second novel in the Fairy Godmothers, Inc series. In this story, wedding planner Zuri Davis has come to the town of Ever After after her business went spectacularly up in flames, quite literally after she and the bride of the wedding she was planning discovered that the groom-to-be had been seeing Zuri on the side.

Hoping to escape the media circus and her nurse her broken heart, Zuri has decided to accept the job of in-house wedding planner at Ever After. Along the way she meets the owner of the castle where most weddings will take place, Philip Charming. The two hit it off almost immediately, but Philip has a secret of his own.

In a town where fairy tales are true, Philip is the real-life Prince Charming but by day he is also a frog and has been for the last 300 years. Desperate to rid himself of this curse and struggling against his growing feelings for Zuri, can these two bridge the issues of their past and claim a stake in a future together? All will be revealed in charming and sweet details.

I really enjoyed this story, almost more than the first book in the series. I loved how DeWylde has expanded on her town of Ever After, allowing us even more insights into the quirky residents of the town. I look forward to more in this series.

Note: I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a cute easy read. I had trouble connecting to rhe charscters. It lacked the emotional connevtiin that i really love in a book.
It was okay but thats it.

What a wonderfully uplifting book! I just adored all the quirky characters, gentle humour and beautifully imagined fairy tale setting. It’s ideal to escape into after a bad day and I will definitely be re-reading it again in the future.

This book was so much fun! I found myself laughing out loud several times. The fairy godmothers were a riot and I really liked the main characters as well. Zuri was really sweet and relatable, and I liked that Phillip's backstory wasn't perfect because it made their relationship more believable. Their interactions were super sweet and I thought they made a good match. Overall, this was a sweet funny story, a quick read too, and I really recommend it.

Excellent read! Prince Charming falls in love with an ordinary girl. Can she accept that he is a frog part time? Will the idea of magic make her pack up and leave Ever After? Charming has been a frog so long he has almost given up hope. Then Zuri stops by the fountain and kisses him. Is she the one? Will he be a frog forever or will the curse be broken? I enjoyed the twists and turns of this take of the fairy tale.

I DNF’d this book early on. It’s partially my fault. I didn’t realize that the fairy godmother aspect of it was literal. I thought it was more of a figurative kind of concept. It was just a bit too over the top for me. If you’re into that kind of thing, you may like it.

In the scond book of Fairy Godmothers Inc. , disgraced wedding planner Zuri Davis has been offered a job with the Fairy Godmothers. Eager to get out of town and repair her ruined reputation, she is excited to head to Ever After for this new adventure. Little does she know that the first wedding she will be planning will have ties to the reason her career was destroyed in the first place. On top of that, Prince Charming, who was cursed by the Fairy Godmothers to become a frog by day for two-timing with two of the Fairy Godmothers and breaking their hearts, has just found out that the curse is about to become permanent. Despite everyone new kissing him when they visit Ever After, he has yet to experience true love's kiss. Oh, and did you know there is such a thing as Frog Pox?There is never a dull moment in Ever After.
I absolutely adore this series. It is a mash-up of comical, romantic, whimsical and just plain fun. I love the setting of Ever After. It features characters from all of the main fairy tales. The Fairy Godmothers are adorable, too. They run on sugar - I mean, who doesn't, and they have a penchant for peach cobbler flavored edible fairy dust. This is perfect for anyone who loves to laugh, enjoys a little bit of romance, or would love to feel the magic of beging a kid again.

Zuri is cursed. Her love life has been a recent disaster that has started to effect her career as a wedding planner. Zuri is leaving everything behind and moving to Ever After to join the Fairy Godmothers Inc wedding planning. Insert Prince Charming, who is also cursed. Will they cross paths and be able to break their curses or will the be doomed forever?

This was a great follow up to the first book in the series, which I recently read. I like how each book can be read as a stand alone book but also follows the series. This book was a little more steamy than the first and gave off a more mature vibe. I would recommend this series and can't wait for the next read!

4 stars

Not my normal read. It was cute and quirky. The ex boyfriend whose behaviour was poor got his comeupance. It's a bit like Beauty and the Beast with an enchanted castle that delivers everything you need. Three fairy Godmothers and one in training. A prince charming that spends have his times as a frog. An Evil queen who's actually quite friendly. The heros bestie that's actually a beastie and is probably owed his own book later on.

I thought it read more like screen play with lots of dialogue a little bit of descriptions and nothing too heavy.


I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An adorable retelling with the real life fairy tale counterparts living their lives in Ever After, Missouri.

Zuri is a wedding planner who committed the faux pas of falling for the groom in her last wedding, though to be fair, she didn't know it at the time. When she decides to apply for a job for Fairy Godmothers, Inc., she's happy to have a place where she can escape and regroup. What she didn't expect was to meet Philip Charming, a real prince of a guy with a secret. Yup, that one. And along the way, romance happens.

This is the type of story where I'm more intrigued by the setting than the characters, and I wished that the chemistry between Zuri and Philip was a little bit stronger. I enjoyed the town of Ever After and how all the characters interact, than in the romance itself. Overall, my problem is I don't get lost in the connection between the characters. But if fairy tales are your gig, you may enjoy it more than I did.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my ARC.

Ok, firstly, fair warning; I fell in love with the town of Ever After and its characters in, ‘Fairy Godmothers, Inc so was predisposed to enjoy this title too, except, if possible, I think that I enjoyed it even more.

Philip Charming, B&B owner and part time Frog Prince (yes, he’s that Prince Charming) is desperately seeking a cure for his froggy curse; enter Zuri Davis who is desperately seeking to reestablish herself... Add in three and a half, mischievous, meddling, sugar addicted Fairy Godmothers and you get another rollicking romance.

The author has written a fantastic fairytale romance and I was left hanging out for the next title in the series.

*Please note: can be read as a standalone but some references would make more sense, and be more humorous, if you read the series in order. So do yourself a favour and buy/order them all.*

Read the book before this one so I jumped at the chance to read this one too. It didn’t let me down. I loved reading more about the old characters and being introduced to the many new ones. Can’t wait to read more.

These aren't the fairy tales I remember! These are brought up to date with a modern twist!

Imagine a place where all the fairy tales you remember, all those brilliant characters, are actually real! Imagine that place was in Missouri. Now imagine 3 sweet, endearing but totally meddlesome Fairy Godmothers added to the mix. They mean well but they aren't above plotting to get HEA's.
This time around though they are actually trying to fix a curse one of them made in the heat of the moment that has lasted a tad too long. Like centuries too long!

Princess and the frog is made over into a quirky, funny PNR/Magic-infused romance. A roving eye Prince who has learned his lesson. A Wedding planner duped by one of her own grooms. Magical intervention is needed to get these two together!

Zuri may have been hoodwinked before but she still wants to make people's dream wedding come true. But Magic being real? She may need some convincing.

Brilliantly crafted characters, a dash of zany mayhem and some very endearing meddlers. Just remember that there are two sides to every story and some of those fairy tale villains aren't all that bad, LOL.

I LOVED this one so much more than the first book in this fairy godmother series!
Zuri, a wedding planner, is down on her luck. She thought she met "the one", and he was a "frog". Ironically, the "frog" in the town of Ever After could be her heart's desire.
I enjoyed how Zuri and Philip both had struggles. Women can easily relate with Zuri's feelings of insecurity, and Philip had to learn what being a genuine friend and love means. I also want to read more about Ravenna's story! Her character seemed to be sarcastically genius!
I can't wait to see who the three godmothers meddle with next!

Five stars to this romantic ,hilariously funny, fairytale come to life.

The cliche love sayings, the fairy godmothers, the princes’ in disguise, and lovable characters made this a truly enjoyable read from beginning to end.

The characters were each well developed (and there are many)! And it didn’t seemed rushed or written in a way that was confusing. I’ve had novels where the author tried to develop all
Of the characters and wasn’t able to pull it off. This author was definitely able to. It gets me excited to jump into the next novel of the series.

The premise of the novel is dependent on a non magical character named Zuri. She enters the city of Ever After in hopes of rebuilding her Wedding Planning career after a not so good debacle. In comes a prince in disguise and meddling fairy godmothers who at every turn are trying to mend Zuri’s broken heart and her broken career.

Thank you to Netgalley for letting me review this book. In my opinion, the first book was the best. Zuri and Philip's love story is just mediocre and happens too quickly. I wish more of the supporting characters had time in the book.
