If you’re a fan of stories filled with enchantment, heartbreak, and a touch of whimsy, then Stephanie Garber’s “Once Upon a Broken Heart” series is about to become your new favorite. As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share why this series has me hooked and why you should dive into its magical world.

One of the most captivating aspects of this series is Garber’s ability to create a world where magic and mystery are perfectly intertwined. From the first page of “Once Upon a Broken Heart,” you’re pulled into a universe where every twist and turn keeps you glued to the book.

Meet Evangeline Fox, our resilient heroine. Her heart is broken, but her determination to find her own happily ever after is unyielding. Enter Jacks, the Prince of Hearts—a character so dangerously charming he should come with a warning label. Their dynamic is pure electricity, blending tension and attraction in a way that keeps you utterly hooked.

ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART (BOOK #1)

Jacks is an enigma. His morally ambiguous actions make his relationship with Evangeline complex and compelling. From their first encounter, you’ll find yourself questioning his true intentions. Is he a villain? A hero? Something in between? Garber keeps his motives mysterious, revealing just enough to keep you guessing.

Evangeline’s journey is one of self-discovery and resilience. Her initial quest to mend her broken heart transforms into an epic adventure filled with secrets and unexpected alliances. Garber’s world-building is nothing short of magical, with settings so richly detailed that you’ll want to visit them (if only they were real).

THE BALLAD OF NEVER AFTER (BOOK #2)

Fans of David Bowie’s Labyrinth and Alice in Wonderland will find echoes of these beloved tales in Garber’s storytelling. The whimsical yet perilous landscapes, the quirky characters, and the sense of wonder mixed with danger add a nostalgic yet fresh layer to the narrative.

As the series progresses, the romance between Evangeline and Jacks evolves in ways that will make your heart flutter. By the time you get to the second book, “The Ballad of Never After,” their relationship takes center stage, filled with poignant moments and sizzling chemistry. The push and pull between them, combined with their individual struggles, create a love story that’s as enchanting as it is heart-wrenching.

Beyond the romance, “Once Upon a Broken Heart” is a tale of power, destiny, and the choices we make. The characters are richly developed, each with their own motivations and secrets. Evangeline’s transformation from a heartbroken girl to a formidable heroine is beautifully portrayed, and her interactions with other characters add layers of intrigue to the plot.

A CURSE FOR TRUE LOVE (BOOK #3)

In summary, the “Once Upon a Broken Heart” series by Stephanie Garber is a magical journey that will leave you spellbound. With its enchanting world, compelling characters, and a romance that tugs at your heartstrings, it’s a series that promises to captivate readers from beginning to end.
