Ever since I saved her sophomore year science experiment from literally going up in flames, I’ve known that Greta Rose is the one for me. She’s sassy, smart as hell, and has a sweet body I’d love to taste every inch of — Greta’s the girl of my dreams. Two years later, we’re high school grads with the world at our feet. The only thing that stands between us and happily ever after is my controlling … is my controlling mother.
There’s no telling what she’ll do when she discovers I’ve been hiding the love of my life from her for years . . .
Hank and Greta’s standalone story in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series is very loosely inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel and features:
• high school sweethearts
• double virgins
• sweet and sexy young love
• #lakelife
• cookies!
The Once Upon a H.E.A. series is what happens when folktales and contemporary romance meet, fall madly in love, and have lots of little book babies. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and only consensual shenanigans await. Happily ever after guaranteed!

This is book one in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series. Meet Hank and Greta. They are high school sweethearts who are one hundred percent, truly in love. They have been dating for two years and Hank’s Mom is unaware. I loved the twist of the Hansel and Gretal fairy tale that is creatively woven in. What a sweet story of young love and taking it to the next level. When Hank’s Mom finds out about Hank and Greta being a couple and that they have been for two years….does she fall into the oven like the witch from the story? A short, fun and sexy spin on a childhood fairy tale story. I loved it and cannot wait to see what other tales the author sexily corrupts. Enjoy!

A Sweet modern day fairytale
SWEET is the first book in the Once Upon a Happily Ever After series and it is definitely sweet. It is the re-imagining of Hansel and Gretel but this time they are named Hank and Greta. These two high school sweethearts are having a hard time with the wicked witch who is Hank’s mother. But in the end they get their sweet confection ending of an HEA, with a little bit of dirty sprinkled on top.
I am looking forward to reading the next in this series to see what fairytale the author decides to twist.

True love with your first and only. Cute storyline with an over protective twist, the characters are genuine but flawed in holding all truth from some very important people in their lives. I enjoyed this novella and all the sweet undertones with leading to what their relationship can lead to in the future together.

This was an interesting twist on Hansel and Gretel and I wasn’t sure how I would like it but it turned out to be a good story. Greta and Hank are high school sweethearts who have been keeping a secret from his mom. These two are likable characters and are great for each other. This is a well written story and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
Not a Brothers Grimm Tale – This is decidedly not what the Brothers Grimm envisioned when they wrote the tale that inspired this but I prefer this version. It’s sweet and plenty of sweets are consumed, which is sometimes incredibly hot! Hank and Greta are almost sickening they are so cute. As for the witch? Even they weren’t prepared for her. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

The title says it all. This book is a deliciously sweet and easy read. Hank and Greta are young and in love and even though they’ve kept their relationship a secret you can tell how close they are. What I absolutely loved about this book was that:

The main characters were like able
No drama, just good feels
Guaranteed happily ever after.
TBR and enjoy.

This was such a sweet story. Great and Hank just finished high school and are now trying to figure out how to break it to his mom they’ve been dating for two years. There’s a little confrontation and lots of crying but at the end, they are happy. This is a sweet twist to the Hansel and Gretel fairytale and I much prefer this ending.

Hank and Greta are super cute together and it doesn’t hurt that they are boyfriend and girlfriend and also high school sweethearts. Hank’s mother is a demanding business owner and she loves to cause problems for these two. Hank and Greta go through a couple of bumps and bruises along the way as they are figuring out there new life together. The chemistry that these two have is great and you can really see that they really do love and care for each other.

When you think about retelling fairy tales, Hansel and Gretel is not one that immediately comes to mind. But this author took the idea and ran! Wonderful! Hank and Greta aren’t brother and sister, but rather boyfriend and girlfriend. High school sweethearts! Love it! And the wicked witch is Hank’s mother …. as a very demanding business owner. A few bumps and bruising along with some growing pains, but as in all fairy tales, everything works out in the end. Cute and fun, if you enjoy fairytales, you’ll like this book!
