JACKS!!!!!! 

I thoroughly enjoyed the OUABH sequel, thought it was even better than the first, and found myself as unsure as Evangeline as she stepped through the pages of this particular storybook. 

Gobbled up the last 150 pages.

This definitely falls more in line with fantasy romance (romance > plot) so if political intrigue and plot-driven fantasy is your jam then this probably is not the series for you. 

Jacks’ constant back and forth between bad guy and soft, caring Merrywood Three Jacks is soooo good and sooooo painful. I gasped when he actually went back in time to protect her but Time took her memories so it didn’t matter 😭😭
