Runaway Princess: Flicka #5
Happily Ever After
Dieter Schwarz had a gun pointing at his forehead.
To escape and save the lives of herself and two-year-old Alina Mirabaud, Flicka von Hannover walked into the arms of her ex-husband, who wants only her title and her genes in his family tree. She is whisked away to Monaco and held prisoner while her ex plots how many children she will produce for him and his throne.
Dieter must be dead. No one could fight their way out of a warehouse, past dozens of heavily armed Russian mafia criminals.
Almost no one.
Will Flicka and Dieter ever live . . . HAPPILY EVER AFTER?

Wow, What An Explosive Brilliant Finale For Our Couple!!💥😱😎
This series has managed to captivate me like no other series in this genre. The writing, complex world building, timeline crossovers with other series, the characters, the settings and most importantly, the storylines, have been exquisite! It's kept my heart pounding in fear and my pulse jumping at the hotness of our wonderfully strong Princess the love of her life, Dieter, her Bodyguard!!😎🔥
This final book is everything I hoped for and more. It's wrapped up every thread I could have wanted and in such marvellous and satisfying ways 😉 The indignity of one threads knot was perfection on a scale I don't think anyone would see coming, Bravo 👏😀
All I can say is wow, that was worth the 9+ hours reading time, every minute was a pleasure. So thank you Blair Babylon for the words you write. They entertain, captivate help to reduce my daily physical pain! 🙏💕 Please don't ever stop 🍀
I wholeheartedly recommend Happily Ever After but I truly suggest starting at #1 Once Upon A Time! An unmissable 5 Star Read🌟

At long last, Flicka and Dieter get their HEA. There are times when I reach the end of a book and I am so wrung out that I can't form words, much less arrange my thoughts in any coherent manner, to explain what the book was about and give a review on it. This is one of those books. I truly feel like any words I might use would be grossly inadequate to describe just how amazing this book is.
I am in awe of how well-written, researched, and plotted this story really is. In fact, it is so closely plotted to connect with history (past and present) that I was frequently tempted to wonder if this is a work of nonfiction. Flicka is an exceptionally smart woman and Dieter not only challenges her intellect, but also admires her for it, rather than feeling diminished as a man.
As always, Blair Babylon writes about real characters with real lives, who are in real danger. They are brave and intelligent and driven by love for one another—the things we all aspire to be. Prepare to embark on an emotional rollercoaster, with many twists and turns and thankfully, no more cliffhangers.
Blair Babylon portrays Pierre in such a way that he comes across as a manipulative, villainous, and (sadly) realistic abusive husband who spouts all of the right lines:
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it...I love you...I promise...I can't live without you...This is all your fault...If I can't have you, no one can...
Her depiction of him as a narcissistic and controlling man who has probably never heard the words “no” is chilling, and when she could have turned him into a caricature, she instead turned him into a tragic figure who, not surprisingly, manipulated Flicka into feeling guilty for his choices. It was so well-done that, for anyone who has interacted with someone like him, particularly in a romantic relationship, it will ring true. This series is incredible!

For a second, imagine what you hope for from this book. Not just the ending. But the resolutions of the various threads. Got it? Hold that thought, because when you read this book, I am fairly sure that your expectations will be exceeded.
Humour, passion, tension and unexpected happenings.
I'm not going to fangirl. I've done that already in this series. It's implied. I'm just going to say that this is the right amount of tension, swoon-worthy heroics and honest to goodness, old fashioned love. I adored the whole thing.
And as for that ending?

This is Happily Ever After book 5 of the Billionaires In Disguise; Flicka series written by Blair Babylon. WOW!! What an amazing conclusion to a captivating and breath taking series!! You will definitely want to read every one of these books, in order, at your highest possible rate of reading! Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to recuperate from missing sleep so you can read this one through! You would think that Ms Babylon would have lost steam by book 5, but it’s just the opposite. She builds and builds the story until it explodes!! Don’t miss the tales of Flicka and Dieter!

Edited June 16, 2021 to add my comments on the audiobook performed by Jason Clarke and Lucy Rivers.
Audiobook Review:
Overall – 5
Performance – 5
Story – 5
Fantastic audiobook for a fantastic story!
I love HEA's and this one is so good! Jason Clarke and Lucy Rivers give another great performance of this story. It’s been so much fun revisiting this series after having read it three years ago.
Original Review below:
In my review of book 4, At Midnight, I said it would take a miracle to get Flicka and Dieter/Raphael out of the predicament Blair Babylon left them in. Of course, I knew that she would work a miracle because this is a romance, albeit a suspenseful one, and she always gives her couples an HEA, even if she tortures them (and her readers) a bit before they get there.
There are so many threads that Blair has to tie up in this story – and she does a fantastic job with that tying. So many things are going on and there were several surprises I never saw coming. I almost forgot, Flicka and Dieter let their kinky side come out – way out – in this book and all I can say is WOW!
There really isn't much else I can say about Happily Ever After other than if you love romantic suspense you should love this series. If you haven't started it yet what are you waiting for? At the time of this posting book one in the series is free. Trust me, if you try it I think you'll be hooked and since all of the books are now available, you won't have to deal with the pesky cliffhangers. 😊
The only good thing about this series ending is that it means Blair will be hard at work on her next book and she leaves us with a teaser for that one at the end of Happily Ever After.
If you love tense, nail-biting, romantic, sexy stories I highly recommend this series as well as all of Blair Babylon's other books.

A 30 ***** Read ....
Are you looking for Romance ???
Perhaps Action\Adventure ???
Or maybe topics snatched from today's headlines ??
Revenge \ Retribution ...? ???
Well look no further , because THIS SERIES HAS IT ALL !!!!
This book is the final culmination of a 5 book series that has captivated me and many others . I have been reading BLAIR BABYLON for a couple of years now .And the characters that she writes about are so much more then they are on the surface - just like we are . ....
In this book the question is will Flicka and her love Dieter\Raphael finally get their happy ending ??? And what will it cost them ????? Last we saw, Flicka walked away from Raphael surrounded by her ex-husbands body guards , carrying her now husbands child as He was held at gunpoint . She didn't Want to leave him, tried everything she could think of , but failed in that respect. But , at least she could save his child from peril ......Definitely NOT a good start for happy ever after!.
As the story twists and turns , then comes to a "dead" stop , it's it as though I was in the ring with ALI , taking punches , giving quick jabs and upper cuts , only to end up on the ropes , totally spent and breathing heavily. Feeling my eye and lip swelling , yet still able to go on ....read another word ,another chapter......crying one minute , and euphoric the next !!! For an Author to make me feel ALL the colors of the rainbow, well , that's just a priceless gift . And BLAIR BABYLON has it !! Flicka and Dieter\Raphael truly go through a war with a lot of guns, grenades, espionage, double spies ,traumatic, dramatic , real life situations like abuse , hunger , no money, murder and chaos and mental instability.......things people go through every single day!!! And it's ALL right here !!!!! Thank you BLAIR BABYLON for a beyond Epic series !!!!

What a finale for Flicka's story with this new installment!! I don't know where to start with this book!! Dieter and Flicka's end was action packed and at times nail biting as the pair found their HEA. I was torn with how Pierre was resolved but in the end it worked especially with the twist that it was resolved with. The pair still had off the charts chemistry despite the events that were taking place around them. I enjoyed watching Dieter come to terms with his identity and cheered when Flicka took a stand for what she wanted. I enjoyed the return of some of the characters from previous series and was happy when Dieter and Wolf had resolution in their relationship. I also enjoyed the resolution that Dieter received with his family as well. At times I was on the edge of my seat with this installment and was sorry when I had to do real life responsibilities instead of see what happened next. I now can't wait to see what Ms. Babylon has in store for Monaco.

I cannot belive Flicka's tale is done. She has gone through so much in all this. I'm so glad she got her HEA.
I'm looking forward to Maxence. His life is just about to flip on its axis and I can't wait to see how he deals.
Flicka isn't being held prisoner by the mob anymore, however she is not free! She is being held prisoner by her ex-husband. Who you gonna call? Dieter! How she is to get word in or out of the castle is another matter. She is monitored 24/7 and she has Alina to care for so she can't just try to escape.
Sigh, the extreme measures and escapades these two endure are amazing. That they get a happily ever after is fantastic! Flicka is the most sought after princess who just wants to live her life with her love.

There are not enough stars in the sky for this book. The last book in the series is a doozy. There are so many twists and turns in this book but they are all fantastic. You will definitely be on the edge of your seat the whole time. There is an HEA at the end but the price may way heavy on the characters.
September 16, 2018
The most suspenseful, heartwrenching, amazing, satisfying conclusion to a series yet! I absolutely love Flicka and Dieter's story. EVERYSINGLE THING! if you have been waiting for the conclusion before you started the series...begin now! You won't sleep and your family will try to pull your nose out of your kindle. Blair you have knocked another one out of the park.

Satisfying end to an amazing series
This book takes an already amazing series to a new level with twists and turns, drama, love, hate and family all wrapped up in a pretty little bow. Dieter and Flicka have been through the ringer throughout this series and this book is no different. Flicka is a strong heroine and she has learned that wealth and titles aren’t all that a person needs. Dieter is a Swiss mercenary who has worked to erase all the crimes he committed as a young teenager. Together they make each other stronger and they are hopelessly devoted to one another.
I highly recommend this book and all of Blair’s other books. Each new set of characters she creates are intricate and nuanced. They each have a complicated history and back story. Every character interlaces with her other characters so much that you can��t imagine one story without the others. I can’t wait until her next books where she will undoubtedly have past characters stories continue. Thank you Blair for creating such a wonderfully complex and diverse universe of characters that I can read about and imagine being friends with each of them.

Wow
I really loved diving back into Blair Babylons Billionaires world for this final (maybe) book in the runaway princess series. Flicka was one of my favourite characters.
Dieter was one character that has intrigued me since I started reading these books.
The road that Flicka has been travelling on has been one heck of a rough one for a princess, but she has a strong backbone and she survived, grew stronger and took care of baby Alina, oh there were moments when I ached for Alina and Flicka, I cried for that little child.
But don't fret, Deiter is on his way to rescue Flicka, and nothing or no one was getting in his way.
This book is a page turner (they all were to be honest) I thought about them when I couldnt read, stayed up longer just to get in 30 mnutes of me time to read this book, breakfast and lunch too.
I wasn't disappointed, I LOVE the ending, and can't wait for Max's story - now that is going to be one heck of a book - he is such a mystery!!!!

5 star Review Happily Ever After: Billionaires In Disguise: Flicka (Runaway Princess #5) by Blair Babylon
AUDIO REVIEW:
This series must be read or listened to in order so make sure you start at the beginning. I was on the edge of my seat while listening to this story and knowing this was the last book in the series I wanted to take my time.
Lucy Rivers and Jason Clarke certainly did justice to the story that Ms. Babylon created. After the shocking ending to the previous book I wasn’t sure what to expect in Happily Ever After.
There are some characters in this series that I disliked intensely and I was glad to see that justice was served. There are numerous twists and turns that left me shaking my head and all in all I felt that this was a fitting conclusion to the series.

Wow! What an ending to Flicka and Dieter's story this was! I was pulled into their story from book one and have been on the edge of my seat with each book that followed. The character development has been amazing and the storyline intense. There was suspense, twists and turns, and sexy steaminess throughout. Although I am sad to see the end of Flicka and Dieter's story, if Ms. Babylon stays true to form with these characters, we'll see them make appearances in a future series. If you haven't yet met Flicka and Dieter I recommend you do, but you need to start with book one.

Audio Review: Happily Ever (Billionaires in Disguise: Flicka (Runaway Princess, #5) by Blair Babylon, Narrated by Jason Clarke and Lucy Rivers
Flicka and Dieter have certainly lead the heart on merry chase. With danger around every corner, heartache seems to be the inevitable conclusion to their adventurous love story. Or is it? Babylon has put emotions through the wringer with each and every twist. From heartbreak to intrigue to hope, it's been a long journey, yet it's the journey that sticks in the heart and makes the conclusion worthwhile. Happy Ever After was worth the trek.

This is the last book in the Flicka/Dieter series. There were so many surprises in this book with lots of twists and turns. It made me laugh, sad, shocked (where my jaw actually dropped) and happy. Flicka is such a strong character. She's smart, funny and resourceful. Dieter has been quite the match for her. They have a strong bond and know that they can always count on each other. I'm so glad they got their happily ever after. I highly recommend this entire series.
September 18, 2018
More love for Dieter and Flicka
Two people who fell in love and got married. That would be the easy explanation, but when you’re a princess and the man you love is a bodyguard, then the HEA takes a little more time. These characters, go through so much political and family drama, yet they stick with each other, because true love conquers all.

Terrific Finale for Flicka and Dieter! Blair Babylon kept me entertained throughout this series and so many twist and turns that I had to keep reading. I was laughing at times, but mostly holding my breath. I love their ending and can't wait for the next story of Maxence, which I've been waiting for.
September 18, 2018
Just when u think you know what's going to happen inswipes the mother of plot twists. I'm still reeling from it. Truly happily ever after is one of the most rollercoaster ride you will ever read. You will never guess the plot before it twist again. Best book ending ever.
September 18, 2018
Utterly satisfying conclusion
Loved this conclusion to Flicka's story. It had everything: humor, drama, action. Storylines were wrapped well, some old friends revisited. The author even managed to surprise me. All i all, a wonderful, worthwhile read.

What a terrific ending to this couple’s long difficult road. Wonderful chemistry between all the characters. Heart pounding twists and turns in the plot. Appearances by my favorite characters from Blair Babylon ‘s other series. And love at its finest ... couples, parent -child, friends, siblings...all wonderful.

What a perfect way to end this series! They had a love you would not think would work. They were so different. Flicka was a princess running from a life she did not want. Dieter a bodyguard with a past. The sparks between them and determination to be together as they found a way out of danger was a story I could not put down. Huge fan of this one.

A bit messy...
October 19, 2018
Happily Ever After is the absolutely breathtaking finale of this devastatingly impressive and highly explosive series! Babylon does not pull any punches when she strikes decisively for the final blow. You will stand in awe at her dizzying genius and cheer at her shocking twists and turns. You will never see the pièce de ré·sis·tance coming until you are under its weight. This relentlessly breathtaking journey will shatter your heart, shred your soul, and challenge the very fabric of who you are. Nothing happens by chance, so when life changes the path before you without warning, you must decide if you are willing to risk everything and move towards an unknown future full of endless possibility or continue walking a safe, known, and inferior alternative.
Flicka’s life has never been in more danger. She walked willingly from the lion’s den into a full-blown inferno. Nothing can sugar coat the life that lies before her, but despite the searing oppression of it, she refuses to let her hope be extinguished. No matter what it takes, she will continue to fan the flames of her last, golden ray of hope. Raphael has a mission that must succeed against all odds. It is one of the most dangerous and yet most rewarding if everything goes right. The brilliant strategist takes center stages as he fights this insane yet passionate war. He will use everything and everyone at his disposal to come out victorious, and if he happens to burn it all down in the process, then so be it. Will Raphael and Flicka made it out of this madness unscathed, or will they fail and go down in spectacular fashion?
Dieter and Flicka unabashedly and fiercely stole my heart and ran away with it. They proved beyond a doubt that they are two amazing people who are worthy to sit next to the great legends like Wulf, Xan, and Leo within Babylon’s stunning kingdom. The complexity and depth of Raphael’s character alone rivaled Xan’s, and I once again held my breath as his fantastical story unfolded before my eyes. Words are truly inadequate in order to describe how much I admire and love both Racheal and Flicka. They are just like you and me and yet so much more. They embody our heart, our ideals, and our hopes in their singular pursuit of a life that they honestly love and wildly cherish.
As we watch the slow and meticulous convergence of all of Babylon’s incredible stories as they touch and weave itself into this epic journey, I am left with a mind that is spinning in reverential awe while trying to desperately digest the full force of the greatest masterpiece that I have just experienced. If you have not read any of Babylon’s books, then I implore you to pick one up now because you will never regret it. It will crack your heart open and force you to experience everything that you never thought possible. Few words are worthy to be used to describe the absolute majesty of this extraordinary story that has taken on a life of its own. Enthralling, breathtaking, and exquisite as only a few that keep circling my brain in an attempt to describe and highlight the perfection and creativity that makes up this larger-than-life work of art.
Flicka’s life has never been in more danger. She walked willingly from the lion’s den into a full-blown inferno. Nothing can sugar coat the life that lies before her, but despite the searing oppression of it, she refuses to let her hope be extinguished. No matter what it takes, she will continue to fan the flames of her last, golden ray of hope. Raphael has a mission that must succeed against all odds. It is one of the most dangerous and yet most rewarding if everything goes right. The brilliant strategist takes center stages as he fights this insane yet passionate war. He will use everything and everyone at his disposal to come out victorious, and if he happens to burn it all down in the process, then so be it. Will Raphael and Flicka made it out of this madness unscathed, or will they fail and go down in spectacular fashion?
Dieter and Flicka unabashedly and fiercely stole my heart and ran away with it. They proved beyond a doubt that they are two amazing people who are worthy to sit next to the great legends like Wulf, Xan, and Leo within Babylon’s stunning kingdom. The complexity and depth of Raphael’s character alone rivaled Xan’s, and I once again held my breath as his fantastical story unfolded before my eyes. Words are truly inadequate in order to describe how much I admire and love both Racheal and Flicka. They are just like you and me and yet so much more. They embody our heart, our ideals, and our hopes in their singular pursuit of a life that they honestly love and wildly cherish.

I absolutely loved this series and Flicka's story. Despite her being an extremely wealthy princess I found her story relatable. She's a woman who lost the love of her life with no real explanation, so she tries to go on with her life. In this story she and Dieter finally get their HEA. As always the steam level is very hot. Don't read if you are looking for a clean romance.

In the final chapter of Flicka's story, we are taken from her being imprisoned by Raphael's family in Geneva to being imprisoned, once again, by Prince Pierre Grimaldi in his Monaco palace. Though there are moments he allows her to feel like she has choices, she knows that with Raphael's daughter, Alina, being held in the palace with her as insurance, she has no more choices. But she's strong willed and refuses to give up as much as she refused to believe Raphael, the man that she's known as Dieter Schwarz the majority of her life, is dead.
As Pierre inches closer to the goal he has worked his life for, to reign over the principality of Monaco, he becomes more desperate and life for Flicka and Alina becomes more frightening. But with the discovery of Dieter's unlikely survival, the hope for a rescue with the assistance of Rogue Security and the Wulfenlegion, and the surety of a mole in the mix, will she be rescued from her prison and find a life outside of the one she thought she'd be forced to lead?
This story was filled with edge of my seat suspense, steamy scenes, and the action never ceased. It was unpredictable, frightening, heartrending, and exciting. Even with the twists, secrets, and hopes for escape, Flicka was a headstrong and formidable heroine, and I couldn't help but love her.
Each time I read one of this author's books, I learn more about how the aristocracy works and what it takes to function; even the smallest details like what it takes to marry or divorce take great measures and many times cannot be done without the express permission from the crown. Each of her books is a mini history lesson that gives us insight to how these people work with each other and what's expected from them, how far back their lineage goes and how she's woven them into the nobility of this modern day. It gives us a chance to touch something that we would otherwise have no access to and shows us how human these people are though they've been thrown into a world of rules and secrecy that we will never truly understand. And she gives us a chance to walk alongside them as they stumble through their privileged but no less difficult lives. I always walk away feeling so enlightened.
This was a story I couldn't wait to read and was sorry to see ending. But I know there are more fantastic tales coming from this author in the near future, and I impatiently wait for another taste of the excitement that is this incredible series.

This book like the ones that preceed it picks up from an impossible, terrifying ending from the previous story. No exception here. There is no repetition of scenarios. Unique dangers, unique solutions, orchestrated by the combined powerful intellects of Flicka and Dieter under the masterful pen of Blair Babylon. Just a drumbeat of greater and greater danger to Flicka and Dieter. A strong 5 rating first page to last!
What will I remember from this book is how they somehow managed to get away from the Ilyin Bratva and Dieter's evil Father. Flicka once again puts on her 'shining armor' and faced the worst possible dangers and made impossible choices, the only possible choices to save them all. She winds up back in the evil clutches of HRH Prince Pierre Grimaldi of Monaco. She always acted the consummate perfect princess while her 'war mentality' is going on beneath the surface. Dieter orchestrated her escape, but not without danger and treachery.
Each book feels like a spring being more and more tightly wound. I was glued to my chair. I am sure my husband thought I had lost my sanity at times, as it was hard to pull me away for the normal activities of life. Blair Babylon is a reader's delight. I've yet to read a book of hers that is not PERFECT. The extended epilogue lets us down from the intense action to a delightful romantic conclusion. This is a story of love, passion, danger, treachery, and the unknown. It's fast-paced, so be ready. Please begin with her brother Prince Wulfric Von Hannover's and Rae Stone's wedding. It leads into Flicka and Prince Pierre Grimaldi's wedding. Each of these stories are interconnected. But it's most important to read these 5 stories in order. You won't want to miss a bit of them. I purchased this book as I did her others. I enthusiastically rate it a "5".
