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.

This was a cute retelling of a fairytale!

It was extremely glittery and cute, perfect if you have a sweet tooth. It was a fun quick read.

I read the first book in this series : Fairy Godmother Inc and enjoyed it. The romance was sweet and I can definitely relate to loving chocolate.... :) This book is a standalone and just as sweet. It's cute and sugary. I like how the author work the fairy tale into the story. Totally magically! :)

This is a sweet retelling of Prince Charming's story. It includes some crazy fairy godmothers, a wicked queen with flying monkeys, and a set of twins....one who ultimately will become his happily ever after! Charming committed a love crime, resulting in him getting cursed as a frog. The godmothers don't know how to undo the curse, and thus ensues hijinks in the search for his other half. It's a sweet story...not too deep...perfect for a feel-good read.

This is the cutest fairytale retelling that won't satisfy Grimm's devilish taste but gave my heart a gentle squeeze. Thank you so much for sending my the ARC.
I guess you can judge from the title which fairytale it is. Well, the frog made the fatal mistake by courting two fairies at the same time and rightfully earned his curse. But the fairies who cursed him didn't quite know how to cure the curse, even though they already forgave him as he has become a better person. They are even planning to make a frog kissing booth, partly to attract tourists (w.h.y.), partly to save him from turning to a frog eternally.

Zuri is a wedding planner who believed in happily ever afters, but her faith was crushed after realising that her boyfriend was als the groom of a wedding she was planning. They came into the realization during the wedding, and the bride lit her dress on fire with the ceremonial candle (what a queen). She moved to this town called Ever After, met this guy, only to realise that she's allergic to amphibians.

I don't have much to say about the romance except how cute it is. The side characters are totally adorable too. The beast is like a giant teddy bear in the story. I love how there's no female rivalry to win someone's heart, and the women are caring for each other. The bride didn't blame Zuri for they are both victims of a trash guy who ruined their lives. There's an Evil Queen in the book and I have a massive girl crush. She's terrible and loves to be horrifying, has flying monkeys at her castle, but she's also so sweet. I hope she gets her own book. Oh and the magical castle feels like a lovely old girl to me. Idk if she counts as a side character.

I would recommend anyone who's in a mood of a sweet fairytale retelling and not in a mood for gender stereotypes to read it. It brought me so many smiles and I hope it does the same magic for you too.
