As an infant, Rapunzel was stolen from her parents. She was raised by an evil witch and confined to a tower in the forest outside Sapphire City. As she grows, Rapunzel is used for the power in her long, flowing hair.
Her power goes from a blessing to a curse as Rapunzel pushes boundaries. Gothel Rebukes, calling Rumpelstiltskin for help. Her hair is then spun into lifeless straw, and she is left alone in the tower with no one.
The now powerless princess faces disaster as she attempts to restore her magical hair. Will this be the path to her happily ever after?
Tangled Desires rips Rapunzel out of her innocent tower and drops her into a story that is dark, daring, and downright addictive. This isn’t the sweet, obedient girl you remember—this Rapunzel is cunning, passionate, and more than willing to twist the strands of her fate to her advantage.
The tower becomes less a prison and more a stage for manipulation, secrets, and forbidden encounters. Every character—whether ally, captor, or lover—finds themselves tangled in her web, never quite sure who is holding the power.
What I loved most is how unapologetic this retelling is. It blends sensuality with danger, fairy-tale magic with human flaws, creating a heroine who is as seductive as she is unpredictable.
If you’re craving a fairy tale that flips the script and shows Rapunzel with teeth and desire, Tangled Desires is the perfect wicked escape.
