There’s a new Prince in town.And he thinks he’s my happily ever after.If only I believed in those. Lance Jacobs. Roseboro’s new Most Eligible Bachelor. He’s the stuff fairy tales are made of. Tall, handsome, strong. A dyed in the wool American hero . . .And if my scheming stepmother has anything to do with it, he’ll be married to my stepsister before he can tap out S-O-S.But he only has eyes for … he can tap out S-O-S.
But he only has eyes for me.
And though my attention is tied up in my new bakery, I know he wants me.
I’ll admit that he makes my heart race, my body pulse, and my mind think of things that are definitely not as sweet as my famous cupcakes.
I can’t help but think Lance would make a great Mr. Right . . . Now.
I don’t trust him to be more than that.
Don’t trust any man after having my heart broken one too many times.
Even if he does make me want to break all my rules.
Makes me want to take a chance.
To believe again.
Could he finally be my happily ever after?

Happily Never After by Laure Landish a five-star read that will give you a happy ending. This is number three in the Dirty Fairy Tale series and they are all amazing reads, this one blew me away in more ways that you could ever imagine. The twists and turns and mystery elements will keep you guessing and ahhhh how good are the clues. From the moment Lance Jacobs walks in, in his dress whites I would be on my knees giving him honour. Will Mr Right now become Mr Right? Throw in some tasty treats that will make you salivate with need and you have a winner.
Woohoo! The great conclusion to the Dirty Fairy Tale series. For best results, you’ll want to start with the first book, Beauty and the Billionaire, as there is an underlying story that spans the series. Happily Never After is Charlotte’s story. She is just getting her new bakery off the ground with backing by Thomas, the fiance of Charlotte’s friend, Mia. Someone has been out to destroy Thomas and the culprit is not above going thru those around him. Enter Lance Jacobs, recent SEAL returning home to help the family business. He’s smitten with Charlotte at first sight and inserts himself in her life much to the chagrin of Charlotte’s stepmother. She has Lance eyed up as the suitor for her own daughter, Sabrina. Charlotte’s trust is tested when Thomas’ enemy hits too close to home. Who is friend and who is foe? Dun dun dahhhh…. This was a great ending to the series and I loved the epilogue wrapping up the stories of all three of our BFFs. I would definitely recommend this book/series.

There’s so much to love about this book!
Where do I begin? If you’re looking for a delightful rom-com, this is your book. I laughed out loud so much throughout this book. The humor really helps balance out the tension from the imminent danger that these characters are facing. This is a standalone romance, but the overarching storyline of the Goldstone/Blackwell conflict that began in the first book is brought to a stunning conclusion in this one. There’s enough information given here that you aren’t left in the dark if you haven’t read the previous books, but I guarantee you’ll want to get the whole story by the time you’re through with this book.
If the first story is based on the Beauty and the Beast and the second is reminiscent of Snow White and the Huntsman, then this one brings us a Prince Charming that has swoon-worthy Jedi mind tricks and a snarky anti-Cinderella who has no illusions of being swept off her feet. Lance is just everything a hero should be, and is determined to be everything Charlotte needs him to be, no matter how hard she makes him work for it.
The romance is perfect, the drama and suspense are brilliant, and the way the two work together to tell the larger story is simply a work of art. I couldn’t love it more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I absolutely loved this story! It is the third book in the Dirty Fairy Tales series and by far my favorite of the three. Charlotte is the third of our heroines who thinks because of past history she fill never get her Happily Ever After. Enter Lance Jacobs. Former SEAL who has come back to help with his family’s business and meets Charlotte one evening at a gala her best friend, Mia and her fiance Thomas are hosting For Lance it appears that he only has eyes for Charlotte, despite his mother’s attempts along with Charlotte’s stepmother’s attempts to pair Lance with Sabrina. Let us not forget Blackwell the madman who is still plotting against Thomas and those close to him. This was such an entertaining story. Filled with danger, mystery and a touch of humor. I was on the edge of my seat wondering who all the minions were who worked for Blackwell and what role they played in trying help him achieve his goal. All the while Lance is getting closer to Charlotte and helping her to realize how much he cares for her and that he loves her just the way she is. This book will having you rooting for not only Charlotte and Lance’s HEA but the whole town of Roseboro! Wonderful and very well written book.
Loved this author’s fresh take on Cinderella! Lance could be Prince Charming indeed with his dashing looks and military background. Charlotte has her hands full running her successful start up bakery, keeping safe from a threat to her and all her friends, and being the daughter/ step daughter/ step sister to a wealthy and powerful family. She dutifully follows their lead and tries to steer clear of Lance to give her step sister a shot, but why should she stay away when he’s the one pursuing her. It becomes obvious there is something between them even their powerful families can’t dictate so they both go all in ready to give it a shot when pressure from an outside source threatens their safety and well being. I love how things came to a head in this book, we got Lance and Charlotte’s love story but we also got all the other loose ends from the other dirty fairy tales resolved. This formula is why Ms. Landish is an automatic one click for me.
I loved this book! The characters are so memorable and fun and the story was unique and exciting with just the right amount of suspense and drama. I didn’t want to stop reading.

OMG! I freaking love this book! I couldn’t put it down! This whole series is awesome but this is my favorite and a great end to the series! I love the play on the Cinderella fairy tale. It has it all: romance, lots of sexiness, twists and turns, and a happily ever after. Charlotte is a fierce independent woman who owns her own bakery and Lance is a retired SEAL who comes home to help with his family’s business. They have instant, hot chemistry and the build up of their relationship is just awww. I love how patient and sweet Lance is with Charlotte. A true Prince Charming. Plus the epilogue is everything!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I was so happy to see the 3rd book in this series. It is an exciting story with passion and enough drama to keep you reading. It can be read as a standalone. Lance has just left the Navy. He has returned to his families home to help in the family business. Charlotte is just a girl who has had some back luck when it comes to the opposite sex. She is from a wealthy family but is doing everything on her own. She owns and runs a bakery which means early hours and late nights. She meets Lance at a charity event and sparks flies when they shake hands. She disappears at the end of the night and Lance is convinced he is going to pursue her. Even if that means he needs to help out in the bakery.
I recieved this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review
Lauren Landish never disappoints in her great all action, all hot of the relationships of the coupling whom join together.
Here we have new Civvie Street ex Lt. Commander Seal Lance Jacobs has gone back home to the family business & to his mother’s excitement in her way of trying to match make him with Sabrina, the daughter of her new friend Priscilla Dunn
But it’s not that daughter, Lance has eyes on, it’s the stunner Charlotte who he sees by the Cup cake tower whom catches his eyes & makes his body moved. And then is amazed that she’s a daughter as well but she’s soo different to her sister well step sister.
And its from this gala night that both their lives changes.
We see how Charlotte’s new cake shop Cake Culture, thrives but then things blows up & the not knowing what /who is it that is after her & her chosen family (best friends). That we see things take that not knowing who to trust or not.
Come in and find out how things process between these 2, her friends & their family & who it is that is trying to get to them….

Charlotte has just opened Cake Culture and her baked goods are flying off the shelves. She’s in work mode and has no time for play. Charlotte needs this business to succeed and she’s determined to make it happen. Charlotte is pretty much an orphan because of her not getting along with her stepmother and stepsister. Her father is awesome, but she doesn’t see him as much as she would like.
Lance Jacobs is finally home. He’s been a SEAL for the last 10 years and now, well just like that, he’s a civilian. And it’s a life he barely remembers. Lance is a strong, handsome ex-SEAL who has come home to help run the family business. His mother and some of the women in town have other plans. Lance is definitely a catch but he just wants some peace and quiet. He’s not looking for a wife and he just wants to settle into his new life before his mother marries him off.
First up, some fancy event at the Goldstone mansion. Lance’s father has business dealings with Thomas Goldstone and Lance needs to make a good first impression. But Lance’s first impression is a beautiful red head dressed in blue, and all of a sudden, the world is righted and Lance realizes he’s exactly right where he should be. Home. Now he just needs to win the girl.
There’s trouble brewing in Roseboro. Thomas Goldstone’s old adversary is out for blood, again. Thomas’ friends and family may be targets and that means Charlotte could be caught in the crossfire and may need protection, but Lance is up for the task.
This is an awesome book that includes characters from previous books in the Dirty Fairy Tale SeriesI love catching up with old characters especially when then pop in and out throughout the story.
THIS BOOK HAD A LOT OF ‘WOW, I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!’ AND A FEW ‘WAIT… WHAT?!?!’ MOMENTS, AND NON STOP ACTION ! ! ! HOT AND HEAVY FLIRTINGWITH WILD, SMOKING HOT SEX ! ! ! A GREAT READ AND DEFINITE ONE-CLICK ! ! !
Oh my damn!!! Oh my damn. Lauren Landish is a artist of the written word. This was a home run or a knocked out of the park. Lance and Charlotte damn near burned my kindle down. The dirty fairy tales series is a spin of our favorite tales. With each book, I’m convinced that it’s better than the last one. It just proves a point Lauren Landish keeps outdoing herself. If you’re looking for a hot sexy read this is a must read. It’s told in different points of view, no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a hea. I highly recommend this book
Lance meets Charlotte at an event hosted by her family. He’s smitten with her, not her step sister. Blackwell lingers constantly in the background, waiting to pounce. Good book, well written!

The SEAL and the baker.
Lance Jacobs is a very recently retired Navy SEAL. His parents are uber wealthy and he’s home to help with the family business in Roseboro. Lance is new to Roseboro and his mother has plans to marry him off to her vapid friends daughter.
Charlotte Dunn is a redhead taking a break from men to focus on her bakery Cake Culture. Her vapid stepsister is the one who wants to marry Lance.
Thankfully, when Lance sees Charlotte, she’s the embodiment of who he was fighting for. He dons an apron and helps her at her bakery.
There’s family drama, the treacherous Blackwell is up to no good and evil deeds.
Sweetness and sassy fun between Lance and Charlotte. And what he does with her broken bracelet? Hot.
Highly recommend for a satisfying read.
