Really enjoyed the first book in the series and the second one didn’t disappoint. Love the theme of the book, such an enjoyable light read.
As always my thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an early read.
A story about loving for who someone is inside and about forgiving yourself and moving on. This was a sweet story about a man with a difficult past learning to look forward and forgive himself. I enjoyed the characters and fun dialogue between the two main characters.
Well we are back in Ever After Street with yet another magical story. This story focuses on Marnie at A Tale As Old As Time Bookstore. I don’t want to give too much away but let’s just say that Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ is my all time favourite movie and my favourite Disney princess is Belle so I absolutely adored this modern day Beauty and the Beast.
Once again, Jaimie Admans has knocked it out of the park. I loved the first instalment of the series, however I think I loved this story more if that’s even possible! I loved Jaimie’s narrative as I was able to totally escape into this stunning story. It’s just easy to imagine the setting of Ever After Street and their Castle too. I also would have loved to be part of this community, they are there for each other throughout, especially for Marnie and Darcy.
It just goes to show that it’s not always a good idea to not judge a book by its cover. I was so tempted to highlight a lot of quotes that I really related to but with this being an early copy I couldn’t. Anyways, who doesn’t love a book that also involves books or bookstores!
As you know, I’ve read all books by Jaimie and honestly loved them all so I highly recommend you not only read this book but also the authors other great creations. Also Jaimie is just such a lovely person 😊♥️
Thank you to Boldwood Books for an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley.

What an absolute delight! I’ve read this author before and liked her, so was looking forward to reading this.
I love Beauty and the Beast so this Disney inspired romance was a perfect choice. The author did a fabulous job with the execution, the characters and the development of the romance. Such a. Joyful and emotionally satisfying story. My only complaint was that Rick did not get a suitable punishment/comeuppance. I wanted him turned into a rat and left in the ravine!
But one of the most delightful romances, I’ve read in ages. I would have loved an epilogue but otherwise - so lovely.
Loved it!!!! I enjoyed the first book in the series, but this one was amazing. This book series are cute and fun reads, especially if you love all things surrounding Disney and fairytales. I want to visit Ever After Street and go into all the stores. I need a dress by Sadie so I can go to one our their fancy balls. Beauty and the Beast is one of my FAVORITE Disney movies, so I had to love Marnie and Darcy. It wasn't hard to figure out the mystery of U.N.Known. I was really hoping Rick might drown in the river or at least get attacked by Mrs. Potts. The friendship dates were a little weird but made me laugh. I love Marnie. She's surrounded by books all day, has a cat who walks on a leash and a wonderful "Beast" as a neighbor. All around I loved the book. It made me laugh, smile and maybe a few sniffles at the end.
Definitely recommend the book. Loved the story, characters and writing style. Hopefully there's more books in the series. I'm thinking, maybe one about Cleo and a new tea shop???!!!! I could see this made into a movie. It would be the perfect rom-com. Look forward to reading more books by the author.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Boldwood Books, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC! I was so excited to get this because I have loved Jaimie Adman’s previous books.
This book did not disappoint, it was such a dreamy setting in a fairytale town. The scenery felt alive and magical!
I love the beauty and beast theme, but this was such a unique way to do it. I loved it!
The main characters were so likeable and you truly rooted for them to get together.
While the plot twist may be predictable, it’s still got me giddy and excited! This was a 5 star read for me!
