Once Enchanted: A Rapunzel Story

by Marie Higgins

Once upon a time... The time had come for Princess Clarissa to find a husband-or so her parents told her. The shy and somewhat clumsy, Prince Ormond from a neighboring kingdom, is a contender. Clarissa knows she'll never fall in love with him much less accept him as a husband. And yet... seemingly in a split second, she changes her mind. Ryder Grey has known Clarissa since childhood and cannot understand the sudden change from the girl he once adored, to the woman he sees now. How can she be in love with the meek Prince Ormond? Ryder begins to investigate and discovers that a reclusive witch has Clarissa under a spell. When Ryder interferes with Clarissa's budding romance with Prince Ormond, she takes action and locks her childhood friend in a secluded tower in the east forest until she and Ormond can marry. Forgotten in the tower by all but the rats can Ryder enchant Clarissa and break the sinister spell? His chances do not look favorable.

This was a great continuing and back story of Rapunzel. I absolutely loved it! Ryder is still sexy.

[Beth Glass · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an interesting retelling of Rapunzel. There where so many twists to it that I didn't see coming. It reminded me somewhat of the Disney one only somewhat. I❤️LOVED how smart Ryder was and how he was able to do things, because of it. Clarissa was in good hands with him as a Royal Guard.

I Definitely recommend this book.

As usual, Ms. Higgins has done a great job with this retelling of the Rapunzel story. However, the man gets locked up in the castle. There is another twist that I won't divulge. A fun, quick story to read.

A fairytale retold.

An interesting twist on the tale of Repunsal with twists to surprise and delight to keep the reader constantly turning the pages to the very end.
Recommended as a quick read with a true loves kiss to make things alright at last.
