Rate this book
Princess and the Frog reimagined.

Previously released as ‘The Story of Second Chances’, in Valentine’s Kisses. You asked for more, and more is what you shall have. With more than one hundred added pages, dark elements and fairytale references in the mix, this is by all means a brand new story.

Hunter Warren may have grown up the son of a billionaire, but his life hasn't been easy. His Mama didn't want him, and his best friend died because of him. He was a hockey prodigy, and one wrong decision took away his chances of one day becoming a pro. When he gets a second chance at Pixie Hollow University, he won’t waste it.

Tiana Lynx McNeal is newly single and ready to mingle. Her longtime boyfriend of seven years cheated on her, and although her pride is in tatters, she’s glad to be done with him. She’s about to discover her lineage is not at all what it seems. Now, she understands her love for crystals and horoscopes. With that discovery an evil emerges, will she be able to survive the darkness that's coming?

When Lynx’s Gran Odessa makes her an offer she can’t refuse, she unexpectedly becomes Hunter’s babysitter. It’s her job to make sure he stays out of trouble, and makes good grades. Hunter is infuriating yet sweet when he wants to be. He wants her, and she’s never wanted anyone more than him. How can something so wrong feel so right? Will outside forces tear them apart or will they stand the test of time.

This book is incredible. Tiana-lynx and Hunter are just what the doctor ordered! It has the perfect blend of suspense and action and spice to create an amazing story.

I love how it gave us more insight into the world of Pixie Hollow and the different characters and had me desperate for more.

The plot twist in this book absolutely blew my mind.. I definitely did not see that coming, but it made me love this book even more.

I love Ellis writing it always sucks me into the story and makes me feel as though I am living in the story with the characters.

I am so excited for more stories from the world of Pixie Hollow.

I read this as an ARC

After reading Lost Boyz Ink I have been waiting for Lynx and Hunter's story! It was worth the wait! I love the world author Ellis Worth has created. These characters are so fun to get to know!
This book is fast paced, spicy and full of intrigue.
Hunter is a hot, swoon worthy MMC and Lynx is a feisty bombshell with powers.
Loved this book!

The FMC & MMC are soul tied to each other. So even though their actual unbeknownst relationship is unconventional, they are destined to be together. The reveals were really good in this book.

I actually would love to get a book about the grandmother,she is clearly a bad ass. The family is loving, but the MMC's father is not. The MMC learns to forgive himself for an event that ends with the loss of someone dear to him. The two lovers become each other's strengths. 

Will that strength be enough to help the FMC  champion her destiny & save her family from the same fate as her mother?

Ellis Worth has done it again. She gave all the spice, romance, and suspense.
5 ⭐ 5 🌶️
Read the trigger warnings!!

This is a reimagining of A Princess & The Frog. Following Tiana and Hunters journey to accepting each other's love and flaws. Ellis takes you into PH and gives you everything you need to love it. The journey and revelations that Tiana must go through are challenging emotionally and physically. She must learn of her magic and truths that are lies. Hunter has fallen hard and won't let this love go without a fight and with the help of Gran, he has a chance. He must battle his own past and addiction. The fates have matched these two and bonded them by their souls. Can they really accomplish everything side by side or will it be all for nothing?

Ellis had me wanting more every chapter and I couldn't stop. You get lost in the journey and love of Tiana and Hunter. The spice is good! The romance and the fight for romance is butterflies in the belly. The suspense and twists are on point and perfect timing. You'll really enjoy this book!!!

I highly recommend this read to 18+, and my fellow dark romance readers!!! If you haven't, also read Lost Boyz Ink the first book of the Pixie Hollow series.

Can I just say wow. Ellis did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this story. We got a glimpse in LBI of Tiana and I was so very excited for this amazing world that the author has built to continue. This book tells the story of Hunter and Tiana and has everything you could want in a story. There is angst, forbidden love, suspense, emotional scars, passion, love, loyalty and spice with all the things that are right 😏. This story just makes you want more and more. The connection these two characters have for each other sucks you right in for this wild ride that will keep you at the edge of your seat the entire time. If you are looking for witchy vibes with forbidden love and a good amount of spice this is the book for you. Highly recommend!!!!

WOW! This story was amazing! Lynx and Hunter are phenomenal characters that took me on a suspenseful and action-packed adventure that kept my heart racing and my panties melting!

Once again, this phenomenal author brings Pixie Hollow to life with her descriptive and imaginative imagery and world building. I was transfixed by the story and couldn’t take my eyes off the pages.

Lynx and Hunter’s banter was filled with sweetness, adorableness and laughs. And their chemistry was intense and just oozed off the pages and had my heart melting! I just could not get enough of these two.

The plot was twisted and there were many shocking and intriguing moments that kept me turning the pages quickly to see how it would all play out in the end.

Loved it!

I had the incredible honor and pleasure of beta reading this novella. Ellis did it again! I absolutely loved Lost Boyz Ink and A Fall so Wicked was equally as amazing.

I absolutely fell in love with Tiana and Hunter's story. You can't help but absolutely adore those two together; they are perfect for each other. I love how Ellis also writes with a hint of fantasy without it being super overpowering. It's like a little dusting of fantasy, helping to round out the story without being the main focus. Her creativity with this world is astounding and I will eat up every single thing she writes.

Now I'm even more anxious for the next installment of Lost Boyz Ink!

“My fun size princess”

Ellis had me in this book. She bought in real issues. She made me cry, laugh and love. I fell in love with Hunter. 1 his dad is an a-hole and 2 he’s been blaming himself. He should have never done what he did, but I’m gladTiana was there for him. She is his rock. As always I love the grandma, she cracks me up. I love the little jokes Ellis added to the story. My favorite “me Tarzan you Jane”. This book has amazing story and spice! Ellis outdid herself with this book! The made me laugh so much and even left me speechless. Amazing! I can’t not wait for Villianz!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK SERIES! I became obsessed with this series by Ellis. This is book 2 and it’s a loose retelling of princess and a frog. I definitely can’t wait for more from this world.

This story follows Lynx who we met in Lost Boyz Ink along with Hunter. This is their story and how they fall in love with each other even though it’s forbidden, as they are step siblings. I definitely could not put this book down I loved it from start to finish and was so excited to get lost in Pixie Hollow world created by the amazing Ellis Worth.

This book. This book here was so good.

Tiana “lynx” is such a spitfire of fmc. I love a spicy take no shit kind of girl.

Hunter is a possessive golden retriever of a Mmc and I love it.

Their chemistry is beautiful. He definitely falls first and she gives black cat 🐈‍⬛ energy.

Hunter definitely got the short end of the sea in growing up but Lynx is what he needs to guide him out of it all. They’re made for each other and compliment each other so well.


This book has found family
Forbidden love
He falls first
Touch him and die
As just a few of the tropes you’ll find here. I definitely recommend this book.

Witches and werewolves and lost boys and hot hockey players who get turned into frogs🤭

What happens when your soul mate, your twin flame ends up being your step brother? You jump on that without question! Especially when he’s the hot new hockey player out to steal your heart.

Night of the carnival Ariana runs into Hunter and it’s insta lust (is is it love😏)
And Grans plan to force them together😂 I loved it! He knew he had the backing of the leader of the family, he knew he was going to get his woman in the end!

Hunter stole my heart, the shit he went through and was deprived of because of his asshole father🤬

Tiana was a force even though I wanted to slap her multiple times for trying to resist Hunter! 😅 but home girl steps up to save her family and kiss her frog😏

the way this book had me ignoring all my responsibilities was crazy. i couldn't put this book down once i started it. i love me a good dark fairytale retelling. the mfc is all curves, sass, and a fierce loyalty to her family. the mmc is a hot as sin hockey player with a ton of trauma. the connection between them is hot. the way the author was able to build this amazing world is nothing short of amazing. this book had it all... forbidden love, suspense, passion, loyalty, emotional damage, and SPPICE. i highly recommend this book for anyone looking for those vibes as well as some witchy vibes. i am so looking forward to the next installment.

After reading Lost Boyz Ink I wasnt Sure what to expect. In that book we learned a little bit about our new FMC, Tiana. This book is the story of Tiana and Hunter and I absolutely Loved it. This one is the retelling of the princess and the frog. The banter between the FMC and MMC is so perfect. It has the perfect amount of spice as well. Ellis does a great job making this world these characters live in seem so realistic and vivid. The book hooks you from the very beginning. The back story of Hunter, well - it explains a lot about his character traits, but Tiana- she will help him through anything. I cant Wait to read more.

What do you get when a "bad" boy jock and a sassy curvy girl, cross path? You get A Fall so Wicked that you may not want to get up!! This book follows one of the girls of the "family" of the matriarch Odessa. You will not want to miss the internal battle (and I may say hilarious) of Tiana as she deals with her feelings for Hunter (it had me in stiches). The girls thinks that she is not enough and he thinks he isn't worthy, are these two souls ever going to find happiness? This is a fast paced, easy read full of spice and past trauma. Be sure to read your trigger warnings, before you embark in this story full of magic and love!!!

I love Ellis’ writing! This is only my second book but both had me in a chokehold. She definitely has a talent with reimagining classics that we know and love. I was so drawn in to The Lost Boyz Ink and A Fall so Wicked was no different. The way I was obsessed with Tiana-Lynx in the first chapter is unreal. Hunter is our swoon worth MMC and Tiana is just such a fiesty badass (how could you not love her?)P.S and she reps the curvy babes 🥵🥰 The way she blends suspense, mystery and spice 🤌🏼 in this fast paced Princess and The Frog reimagined. I LOVE this world that Ellis has created and I can’t wait to read more. This is a must read.

Miss Ellis Worth, you are making me want to live in Pixie Hollow! I love each and every one of these characters! Tiana is a girl after my own heart! And Hunter…oh that sweet man. The way they lift each other up, love each other, and their passion is simply wonderful! I didn’t think I could love a character as much as I did Billie Jean, but Tiana really resonated with me. And the storyline was perfection. It was suspenseful, funny, loving, and spicy! I’m trying not to say too much so I don’t spoil anything, but this entire universe will forever live rent free in my head!

I devoured this book in hours!

I love this world. This is book in the Pixie Hollow series and I’m absolutely in love with it. Fractured fairytales are fantastic, with all the little references to the actual fairytale. This book as a strong female main character who will go to the ends of the earth for those she loves. The male main character is a cinnamon roll with a lot of trauma. They way he grows, deals with his trauma, and runs to his emotions is inspiring to all of us with past trauma.

I love this book series! I have become obsessed with it! This is book 2 and it is like a loos retelling of the princess and the frog. With this story we follow Lynx who we did meet in Lost Boyz Ink along with Hunter.

This is their story and how they fall in love with each other, even though it is pretty forbidden for them to do so. They are step siblings. Hunters back story will break your heart. His dad is one heck of a tool. This book was great! I really want to be apart of Pixie Hollow lol!

Ellis girl you have me wanting MORE!!

If you love the classical princess retellings then this is for you!The pixie hollow universe is an awful special place to be! Ellis has done such an amazing job bringing these retellings to life and introducing Lynx and Hunter. This book does have some taboo elements so make sure you check your triggers, but this books as a whole is absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend this book is so worth the read! I can’t wait for the next one!! Ellis has an amazing skill in writing that you do NOT want to miss out on!

Ellis Worth does it again. This is a wonderful retelling of The Princess and the Frog.
Tiana and Hunter are drown to each other immediately. But she finds out that he is her step brother. She fights their chemistry as long as she can. But then, an old friend of her deceased mother tells her that they were soulmates.
Tiana will move heaven and earth to save her family from a darkness that has been chasing them since before she and her cousins were born. Family above all else.

A Fall So Wicked is a good version of Princess of the Frog. It is part of the Pixiehollow series after Lost Boyz Inc, however they all are standalones but interconnect. I loved Lynx and Hunter’s dynamic and their sparks together. It was a good read. In the beginning there isn’t too much plot is my only somewhat nag at the book but it definitely picks up towards the end. It was definitely smutty and a nice read. I really enjoy these versions of the Disney stories because they connect together.

This book has kept me on my toes and constantly wanting more! It has had me in a chokehold and I haven’t wanted to put it down!

Hunter and Tiana are ✨chef’s kiss✨!

This book has a little bit of everything you could want in a book! Strong FMC, hot MMC, hockey, witchy vibes, banter, forbidden love and just a tad bit of mafia vibes. And the sex?!?!? 😱 I mean, who doesn’t like hot sex????

I love Tiana’s fierceness and her “don’t tell me what to do” attitude.It reminds me of me a whole lot and I love that she’s stubborn and puts her family first. Her love for Hunter is just a fierce as her and she faces his demons right along with him.

Hunter is the golden boy and who doesn’t love those? His love for Tiana is undeniable and he will do anything for her, as well as support her in every endeavor. While he battles his own demons, he never lets his love fail her.

Ellis, you have done a wonderful job again. Thank you for trusting me to read this book and follow along with you in your journey!❤️

OMG!! I loved this!! It's Tiana & Hunter's story & it was awesome!! They meet at a party & 1 thing leads to another, but they find out they're step-siblings. He's been estranged from his mom for a long time & has feelings about that. This book has all the things I love, spice, magic, & secrets!! I highly recommend this book & author!

I am obsessed with the world Ellis has brought to life. The characters are so amazing and the story line will leave you guessing the entire time. Hunter and Lynx don’t have your typical step sibling relationship. The story follows them as they find out the truth about their lives and build each other into who they ware mentally to be. This has sex clubs, witches, mafia and lots of spice.

After I read Lost Boyz Ink, I had to know more about Lynx & Hunter!
Hunter’s back story will break your heart. His dad is a tool. Thankfully he found Lynx and she’s helping to heal his wounds and repair his heart… and maybe add a ton of spice while she’s at it.
The story behind who Lynx really is was unexpected, but intriguing! I’m glad she found Hunter and he had her back always.

Loved this book. I read the original story from Valentine Kisses and she turned into a princess and the from reimagining. This book was so good. You get witchy vibes and you have a hockey player who’s trying to get his life back in order. Until Hunter meets Tiana. There’s just enough spice and lots of attitude. I beta read and then reread again. I recommend.
