Once upon a time, in a small shop sitting at the corner of the street, lived a cobbler, praying for salvation she never knew she needed.
It just so happened that at that moment, there was an elf, looking for the same…
Some stories were born to be retold, and some stories are the start of fairy tales waiting to be rewritten…

Interesting

Interesting storyline with a different take and twist of the cobbler and elf. A reversal of roles that are intertwined throughout.

“The way the story grabs you and drags you into the book!” – So Sweet: A Tale as Old as Time (The Never Lands Saga)

There once was a castle in the woods, claimed by a terrible Beast…
I was a simple girl, living a simple life of cloths and needles, never seeking adventure, glad to dress those who did. But the world is full of magic, and spells never let rest those caught in their thorns.
A rose by any other name…
The tattoo on my hand was dying, the petals falling faster and faster. All because of the curse within the trees, and those held in its thrall threatening to break free.
What would you give up to save those you love most? What would you risk facing in the Darkness of the Woods?
My name is Amarice. And this is my Tale.
So Sweet
Who but a Beauty can Judge a Beast?

“This is not what I normally think of when I think of a “shifter” book” – His Prerogative by Barbi Barnard

Barbi his prerogative
Line Blurb
The Alpha of a wolf pack has a responsibility to keep his pack happy, healthy, and whole. His own happiness and desires are put on a back burner. But what if he is tired of being last? What if he is tired of seeing the one he wants to be mistreated? The Alpha has the right to take what he wants, she is what he wants. Wild Rose has only wanted to be loved and wanted. A home and maybe a family to care for. Being abused and neglected for so long takes its toll, it’s time for her to find her own happiness. When the Alpha calls, will she answer that call? Can she find happiness with the man that is more animal than human? What does he need from her? What can she do for him?

unique spin – love it!

This is not what I normally think of when I think of a “shifter” book. This is unlike any other shifter book I’ve read. It’s unique in the way it handles the mating/love story. I am glad to see that. I like that the author broke the mold. I would recommend it to anyone. It’s a great book and has a unique spin in the shifter genre.

The Prince: A Crown and Dagger Book Three: (The Never Lands Saga) by Andi Lawrencovna

It’s time. Within a year the Prince must die, or he and his people and his kingdom will survive uncontested. Within a year, but there are those already on the move, already lying in wait to fulfill fate. Reports of a mercenary army have begun to spread throughout the land. Soldiers have been called to prepare for war and captains have been summoned to lead them. Spies have been sent forth to gather information. Assassins have been requisitioned to hunt out those meant to die.
And princes have been sent to hide deep within the woods.
Kit can’t help looking around every corner for his Captain far away on her own mission. Perhaps he should look harder for the trees to hide more secrets than just the elves of the forest.
How long can you hide from your enemies find you? How long can you lie before the truth sets you free? And who will find you when the smoke clears, and you’re safe once more?
How much can you endure before you can’t bear the burden of prophecy anymore?
Once upon a time…

My heart nearly broke…

My heart nearly broke for the poor Prince, betrayed and hurt. But what’s a fairytale without darkness and strife before the sun emerges? And of course, the sun must be the Captain…it must! So why does our beleaguered Kit put his fate in the hands of the king? Oh no! A must-read conclusion to an amazing trilogy!!

I loved this book!
Samual is the ultimate head of his pack! He performs his duty to the best of his ability, but something is missing…He is a part of, but separate from his people…

Calling on an ultimate right of his position, he calls for a mate!
There is an answer…a child is needed to carry on…to fulfill his life…He is loath to use his position this way, but he has felt her siren’s call…one that she didn’t know she had.

Rose…Married to one, answers the call…will she mate with the other? Time will tell…but, the pack needs healing…can she pull it off? Will he finally be included? And not just smell the food, and hear the laughter, but partake of both?

Will there be a happily ever after? Time will tell.
I can’t wait for the next book!

Sometimes the best choice is being chosen
One of the best shifter books I’ve read in a long time. Loved how Samual, very taciturn and somewhat aloof, chose to protect Rose from John. Enjoyed watching their relationship grow and seeing him “mellow” from a man his Pack feared into a man his Pack revered. Look forward to more from Barbi, especially if it’s more shifters!

Love this story!

This was my first foray into the genre of shapeshifter romance and I will be looking for stories like this from here on out. The way Mrs. Barnard wrote this story there could be some confusion as to the language used, but it explains so new readers, such as myself, can understand.
Barbi Barnard has a way of drawing a reader into her stories where the reader feels the emotions of her characters as if they are their own. This story created a true rollercoaster of emotions. I would recommend it to those new to the genre as well as those who follow it. And a side note to readers- keep reading, at a couple of points you may be so full of emotion that you want to stop because you can’t handle anymore. Just keep reading. It is well worth it.

Loved this book!

What an ending to a great story! While there are a few things about The Prince that I didn’t care for, the book is an absolutely must-read. Emotions run that gamut in this last book about Kit and Eli. From love and loss to desperation and anguish, to anger and heartbreak. It’s all there. The reader feels it! One of my few suggestions, or criticisms, would be that, while that actual villain didn’t come as a real surprise to me, he should have paid a lot more dearly in the form of some sort of public display! Also, she uses a little bit of language in this one book that is really unnecessary, in my opinion. But neither of these really affects whether or not I would recommend this book or the entire series to anyone!

Lawrencovna’s characters are well developed and personal. I truly love her writing style. All three books are emotional and you really feel for her characters. But this last one was something else. Yes, I did cry…more than once, but it’s a perfect ending to a well written re-imagined telling of Ella and Prince Charming. I’ll be looking forward to reading more from Lawrencovna!
