Father Cade Frédéric is a holy man. Brought up in the streets of Paris, he has dedicated his life to the church. But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux, arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of battle.But when his mentor falls ill, he finds himself on the verge of losing everything, and he’ll stop at nothing to inherit what is rightfully his. Even if it means forcing a woman he can’t stand into marriage. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister’s murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn’t have time for anything else. Especially not for love. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment. I am super loving this series. It’s so cute. The characters are both childish and more responsible than most adults I know (me included 😬), her parents are lovely (and alive!), the quests they go on are fun and scary, and it’s neat to see how the fairytales are going to be twisted. Wretched is a dark contemporary romance and the third complete standalone in The Never After Series, fractured fairy tale reimagining ofThe Wizard of Oz.

The story is tighter, the ogres are biding their time and the quests, while tamed by insight and better choices of the characters, are more fraught with personal relationships and responsibilities. There is less fun and humor, compared with the first two books. If it weren't for the adolescent crushes, the characters could be much older. Prince Tristan Faasa was never destined for the throne.

But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux, arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of war. The kind that begs the question of what’s more important—the crown or the woman about to wear it.Yasmin Karam, daughter to one of the richest men in the world, has never known strife.
