3.5 stars**
This was a super cute, really fast read. We follow Lucky and Ransom in a second-chance romance as they take part in a pretend wedding to bring back love. The story takes place in a fairy tale town called Ever After. The presence of love in this town increases the magic. I adored the town and all of the fairy tale characters that live there. I also really enjoyed that there was some expansion on the stories of the those characters and would love to see even more of that expansion in the future books. I loved the elements of family that were brought in with Lucky's best friend Gwen's kids. I found Lucky and Ransom to be fun characters to follow and adored the three fairy godmothers. This is also very much a rom-com and there were several scenes that I found hilarious.
There were a few things that I didn't really enjoy about this book. At the beginning of the book I found the writing style to be quite clunky. As I got more into the story it felt much more natural, but it made it a little hard to get into from the very beginning. There is also the premise of why this is a second chance romance. Lucky and Ransom dated in college, but broke up after a situation known as "The Incident". This leads to Ransom being gifted the nickname "The Boy Who Missed". This nickname follows Ransom his entire life, even into him becoming a billionaire. That never made since to me and it is never explained why or who an argument from college makes it to the newspapers and becomes such a big story. There were also moments in dialogue heavy scenes, specifically while the three fairy godmothers talk, where I got very lost in who was saying what.
Overall it was a very enjoyable read that I flew through. It was super cute and I will be picking up the future books in this series.
