In Every fairytale there's anger, hurt, and love. For Raleigh Jefferson her fairytale is no different.
Since she was a little girl, watching Snow White meet her prince as she frolicked through the forest, the idea of Happily Ever After was embedded in Raleigh's mind. Her heart skipped a beat over the Beast's love of Belle, and she knew she'd swim the ocean to save her black haired prince from drowning, even without a mermaid tail. Destiny and forever. She wouldn't settle for anything less.
She wasn't looking for a man to frolic in the forest for her. If she were to actually witness such a thing she'd probably smack the man for acting a fool. But she did want her own Cinderella story. She wanted to glide down the aisle in her own glass slippers toward the man she loved, the one who returned that love unconditionally.
She never knew how hard this dream of hers would be until she met Him. Will the truth of the world around her and the pain that can be carried in someone's heart be too much to handle, or can Raleigh find a way to truly live... In The Fairytale?

“So you’re looking to be royalty one day? I can’t really help you with that but I can help when it comes to meeting a Prince.”
I take a right where he instructed and quickly glance over at him to see if he’s trying to poke fun at me again or not. He looks genuine though as he smiles and points at a small concrete drive that leads to a single black garage door. I turn in and put the car in park. I twist in my seat slightly looking right at him. “So, not that you yourself are him, but you want to help me to meet my Prince, ‘so say’?”
“Oh it’s me I’m talking about alright. Now I didn’t say I could help you with your Prince, just a Prince.” He reaches out his hand for a hand shake so I just play along confused as can be and roll my eyes as I shake his hand. “Hi Raleigh, I’m Christian Prince...”
This time Buzz reaches out, placing his finger to my lips. “Shut up, Raleigh. Don’t ever apologize to me for being the you that I said I like for you to be. I can’t promise you anything right now, but I know the last thing I want right in this moment, is to let you go.” He leans in, giving me another kiss before taking hold of me again and wrapping me up in his arms. He lightly starts to trace the lettering of the rose’s stem that’s tattooed right above the side of my hip. “Happily ever after, huh?” I look down at his finger still tracing around the words and then back up into his smiling eyes. “That’s what I’m hoping for, yes.”
Perfect ending to an Amazing Series. Going into this book i couldn't wait to see if Raleigh was going to get her Fairytale ending. After living day in and day out watching those she loves fall in love and moving forward with their lives, she just wanted what they had. More than that, she wanted someone to love her for who she was, her flaws and all. Raleigh is one of those characters you cant help but love. She is strong, independent, caring, feisty and most important, hopeful for a happily ever after. She is also very stubborn. She doesn't let others push her around or change her in anyway. Then one fateful day that will change her life forever, she meets the Sexy, Passionate, Charming and Mysterious Buzz. I don't know what it is about a man with tattoos but damn, he stole my heart. I think Buzz gives Eric a run for his money. I will always love Eric, but Buzz you cant help but love. As their relationship slowly grows from attraction to more, Raleigh has her doubts about where it is Buzz sees their relationship going and what he is not telling her about his past. Raleigh and Buzz's chemistry was amazing. You could feel how much they cared about each other and how much they wanted the other. They balanced each other out beautifully. I love the way they opened up to each other and let the other in, no matter how hard it may have been. Early on Buzz knows what Raleigh is looking for in her future, but isn't sure he deserves her after everything he has gone through with his past. He doesn't want to let her go or lose her. When he finally opens up to Raleigh about his past, my heart broke for him and i just wanted to grab him and hold him. But Raleigh did it for me. She was there for him when he needed her most and she wasn't going anywhere. She needed him as much as he needed her.
Through out this book we also get more of Eric, Caroline, Tara and Adam. I honestly don't think i could ever get enough Eric in my life. I always want more. I would absolutely love it if there was a novella from Eric's POV. While others *wink wink* want a novella from Keith's POV which would be fine by me, but i am an Eric Girl. HEHE. We get to see how Adam and Tara's relationship is progressing as well as Eric and Caroline's. They are still an intricate part of Raleigh's story, which i loved. They are always there for each other and will do anything for the other. They are all going in different directions , but no matter what they are always going to be a part of each others life, for better or worse. As the story progresses there is a scene in this book toward the end that made my heart break and i balled like a baby. It was absolutely beautiful in every way imaginable. After that scene everything fell into place for all characters involved. Now the ending and Epilogue! WOW! It was everything i could have asked for and much more. It was Heartwarming, Amazing and ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULLY written.

Joan Duszynski lives in Virginia with her husband and their three kids. Woods surround her home and she loves the privacy and quiet it brings. She wasn’t always a reader, so that moment when she picked up a book and found herself engrossed in its pages and unable to put it down will never be forgotten. It eventually led her to want to try and write and share stories of her own, in hopes that others will find themselves reading and getting lost inside of them. Thanks can’t be expressed enough for your time and interest. Please feel free to connect with the author either through Email, Twitter, or Facebook.
