Book description
If you're a fan of fairy-tale romance with a modern twist, Stephanie Garber's Once Upon a Broken Heart series is a must-have-and now it's available in a stunning Barnes & Noble exclusive boxed set that feels almost like a collector's treasure.
The set brings together the three heart-warming novels-Once Upon a Broken Heart, The Ballad of Never After, and A Curse for True Love-in one elegant hardcover case. Each book boasts its own unique cover, a tasteful case stamp, and bonus content that deepens the world Garber has built. The packaging itself is a visual delight: polished pages tucked in crisp spines, a clear window showcasing the title art, and a subtle gold embossing that gives the box a touch of regal sophistication.
What makes this collection shine isn't just its aesthetic appeal; it's the story inside. Evangeline Fox, an ordinary girl with a fierce spirit, finds herself tangled in a web of love, curses, and destiny. When she meets Jacks-Prince of Hearts, whose royal title is as heavy as his heart-her life turns into a whirlwind of enchantment and danger. Garber masterfully balances the classic elements of fairy-tale romance-wicked witches, enchanted forests, and a quest for true love-with contemporary themes of self-discovery and empowerment.
The prose is crisp and engaging, with dialogue that feels authentic to both modern readers and those who cherish the timeless charm of old-world tales. Garber's pacing keeps you turning pages: each chapter ends on just the right note of suspense or heart-warmingly sweet revelation. The characters grow organically; Evangeline's journey from self-doubt to confidence is relatable, while Jacks' own struggles with duty and desire add layers to their chemistry.
For readers who appreciate a blend of romance, fantasy, and character depth, this boxed set delivers it all in one beautifully packaged experience. Whether you're adding it to your personal collection or gifting it to someone special, the Once Upon a Broken Heart series is a reminder that even in a world full of curses, love can still rewrite destiny.
