Ever After
Former heiress Ashe Pembroke can’t believe her life has turned into a freaking cliché, a modern day Cinderella living under the thumb of her ruthless stepmother, hated by her perfect stepsister, and treated as a servant in her own home. Then on her worst day ever, she meets Sebastian Bradford, a handsome prince charming if ever she’s seen one. Their chemistry is hot and instant. But imagine her surprise when he brings along his hunky spec ops lover, Elijah, who issues panty-melting orders in a deep voice like smooth cut velvet. Suddenly her life—and she—is turned upside down in ways she never, ever dreamed of! The sex is ridiculous. Exciting and...well, just plain mindblowing. The two men are clearly madly in love with each other, and it’s rubbing off on her in all the best ways. They treat her like royalty, and cater to her every sexual fantasy while indulging in a few of their own. As she gets to know Sebastian and Elijah, she finally understands the power of true love, and begins to fight for her freedom. She desperately wants to accept the unique life they are offering her. But is it really possible to fall in love with more than one person at the same time, and together have a happily ever after?

There wasn't anything that I didn't love about this story.
Okay, that's not completely true I hated the way Ashe's stepmother and stepsister treated her but since this is a Cinderella retelling I have to say that even that part was well done.
When Elijah and Bastian were with Ashe they worshiped her and revered her and she gave them both everything she had. This story was over 400 pages but I devoured it and wanted more.

Elijah was hired four years ago to watch over Sebastian Bradford and shortly after they began a relationship. They are great together but when they meet Ashe it's like they found something they didn't even know was missing, and it was beautiful to watch how all three of them fell in love. But don't think this story is all sugar and sweetness because it really isn't. Both Sebastian and Ashe have parents in their lives that reek havoc on them. The crazy parent of the year award goes to....I let you decide that one after you read the story.
When Elijah and Bastian were with Ashe they worshiped her and revered her and she gave them both everything she had. This story was over 400 pages but I devoured it and wanted more. The sexy time was very steamy and plentiful.
Eden French is a new to me author and she totally blew me away with this book so much so that I have added RED and TAHOE BLUE to my Christmas wish-list. If you enjoy fairy-tale retelling's, menage romances, or triad/polyamorous romances I highly recommend this book to you.
Happy Reading!!!

This time Cinderella has two princes!!
She has a evil stepmother and a stepsister.
One day she meets herprinceprinces and they have an instant chemistry.
Coming to plot Sebastian 's father wants him to marry someone to continue their legacy but Sebastian is in love ... with his bodyguard (Elijah). They have plans of their own and then they meet Ashe .
And whenever they were together it was dirty and pretty hot.
Ashe is short,blonde and beautiful.Together they enjoy their new life but with complicated situation of theirs,will they find a happily ever after?
Overall I enjoyed this book.It was a great weekend read.Although at times I lost interest I was glad I finished it.

*Thank you to NetGalley for a review copy in exchange for my honest review.*
Sooooo I'm not sure how to feel about this one. I was very intrigued by the premise. I love Poly or Ménage books and I especially love them when there is already a relationship in place between two of the members and then we take on more relationships.
I thought the chemistry between all parties was really good. I liked Ashe, and Bastion, and Elliot and I thought the set up was interesting. Ashe being stuck under her step mother's thumb and trying to hold out until she gets her trust fund. Sebastian is being blackmailed to take a wife, who happens to be Ashe's Stepsister was a very cool set up as well. Since Bastian's father already knows he is in a relationship with his bodyguard makes it extra horrible.
Where this fell apart for me was in 2 areas. 1. I was not sure why, once the 3 of them decided that Ashe would marry Sebastian, she kept going home to a dangerous environment. And even more so once she was pregnant and we knew the baby was coming.
2. The sex scenes were really hot, but there was hardly any sword crossing for this being an MMF ménage, there was a lot of solo couple stuff and we didn't even get a good scene of all three until the epilogue parts of the story.. I don't know, it just left me unsatisfied.
A lot of this is personal preference, but it also felt kind of disjointed and motivations were very confusing. Also, the possible PTSD that Elliot was suffering was mentioned a few times and then thrown away. Sooo.. not sure what was going on there.
3/5 stars for me.

This was kinda like Cinderella story gets grown up. A modern twist on a classic tale so it is somewhat predictable. I loved the inclusion of the polyamorous relationship (m/m/f) it was different and enjoyable to read and definitely steamy🥵
I found some of the dialog to be a little cringey but that didn’t deter me from reading. It was interesting to read about a poly-triad relationship and how it developed. Great for readers who enjoy steamy, fun retellings with a little bit of darkness.

Ashe's life is like Cinderella's in more ways than one. She's got an evil stepmom and an evil stepsister, who despise her even more once her father passes, she's oppressed by them, and she's not living her best life by any means. But then she meets a Prince Charming and life starts looking up. But wait, he's got his own Prince Charming, and suddenly this Cinderella has found herself TWO princes. What's a girl to do?!
Well, enjoy herself in ALL the ways for one. And most importantly, fall in love with her two men who are already in love with each other.
Damn...where can I find myself two hot princes who don't just love me, but love each other too?! Because Ashe has got it made when she falls for Sebastian and Elijah. I loved this Cinderella retelling. It's hot, the three of them are great characters and their menage is balanced perfectly between the bedroom and the heart.

Ever After
Eden French
Genre: Erotica
Pages: 420
4/5 Stars
Content warning: This book can be classified as either a romantic erotica or erotic romance and has explicit sexual scenes between the three main characters.
Description: Ever After is an erotic retelling of Cinderella. In this version, Ashe Pembroke is a 22-year-old who lost her father in a tragic airplane crash. After his death, Ashe’s stepmother, Gloria, and stepsister, Veronica become emotionally abusive towards her, cut off her tuition funding and force her to work as a servant to them both. Gloria controls her father’s fortune and does not plan to share any of it with Ashe. Ashe will receive her trust when she marries or turns 24. At that time, she plans to finish her culinary schooling and open a restaurant and be free of her evil stepmother.
Sebastian Bradford is preparing to take over his family’s company, Bradford Communications. He is madly in love with his bodyguard – Elijah and they have kept their affair secret. They are afraid that it will interfere in Sebastian becoming the CEO of the family company. They had always talked about having children but wanted to add a third to their relationship and incorporate them into their life.
While on a hike, Elijah and Sebastian meet Ashe and the chemistry is instant. Will Ashe be brave enough to face her evil stepmother? Will Sebastian and Elijah come out about their relationship? Can the three of them make this unique relationship work?
What I liked:
•This erotica has WAY more plot and page-turning than your typical erotica. While I was here for the steamy scenes, I also enjoyed the story between those scenes.
•The sex scenes made this queer girl blush!
•I really enjoyed that the author depicted a positive polyamory relationship. I have seen this very rarely in books and would love to see it more.
•I liked how the author retold Cinderella. There were some obvious and subtle nods to the key elements of the fairytale.
What I didn’t like:
•There was a bit of repetitive language used with the descriptions. For example, I think Ashe is described as “exquisite” at least 20 times.
•I would have liked more character development of the supporting characters. Gloria and Veronica are very one-dimensional. It is unclear what their motives are besides power. While that can be a powerful motivator, it isn’t explained why they were so different when Ashe’s father was alive compared to now.
•I know this was a fairytale and mean to be a fantasy, but all three of these characters were new to polyamory. Yes – Elijah and Sebastian had had some hot hook-ups in the past but none that involved emotions on this level. It would have been nice to see them have some normal hiccups along the way with this being new to all three of them. Jealousy and communication gaffes are common things that happen in polyamory situations. It would have made the relationship feel more real and less complete fantasy.
•I loved that the characters discussed sexually transmitted infection (STI) status. I don’t think I have seen that before. However, they used the language “clean” to describe themselves. Using this type of language implies that people with STIs are “dirty.” For a book that wants to be sex positive, it would have been far better to say, “I’ve had negative tests.” Also, saying that you are clean does not delineate what you have been tested for – it can vary from provider to provider.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a light but very steamy modern retelling of Cinderella. I will definitely read more from this author and look forward to her next story!

An erotic take on the Cinderella story with a menage twist. Ashe, Elijah, and Sebastian bring this old fairytale to life in a new way.
Elijah and Bastian are long time lovers who occasionally participate in MMF, MFM or other orgy type bedroom activities, but their love for one another always remains steadfast. These two lovers have talked about adding another partner, if or when, they ever met someone that they both had a connection with, but neither have ever felt that emotional connection with any of the people they have invited into their bedroom, that is until they meet Ashe.
Ashe is living the Cinderella life, but her wicked stepmother and sister are even one step more wicked and straddling the abusive line. Meeting Elijah and Bastian is the only sunny spots on her dark days and keeping them a secret is the only way to any kind of happiness.
The three develop feelings both separately and together as a throuple, but sometimes things don't always go your way, especially when you are basically a prince in the modern world.
This story has lots of twists and turns as the powers against them are quite dastardly and the throuple tries to stay ahead of the plot against them.
For as dirty as the scenes could get, I enjoyed that the emotional connection took longer to evolve, while keeping true to the whole Cinderella theme.

Ever After by Eden French was a great 5 star read.
This is a twist on Cinderella and the move Ever After but we get two hot prince charmings.
Ashe is stuck with her evil step mother and step sister for a little while longer after her fathers unexpected death. My heart broke for Ashe in the scene involving her mothers ring. She flees into the woods to a place where she finds peace. This is where she ends up meeting Sebastian and Elijah.
There is an instant connection between the three of them. Let’s just say that things get even steamier and they develop relationships with each other. And of course there are people that cause issues for them which added a great element to the story. Can these three have their happily “Ever After”? 1-click and get started today.

Wholly Cheeseballs!!! This was absolutely freakin awesome! Let’s me start by saying, based off the cover I was thinking semi raunchy ménage, BUT NOOOOOO, what you get is a well executed , sexy, sweet, enthralling triad love story. This has got to be in my top list of favorite ménage/triad/mmf. I loved her, them, the supporting characters I was fully invested in every page.

Elijah's a killer. An assassin. And more recently a bodyguard for the heir to a huge media conglomerate. He's been trained his whole life to be a weapon. So he never expected to find love in the arms of his protectee, Bastian.
Sebastian lives a prince's life. He's got responsibilities. Obligations. The last thing his straight-laced father wants is for him to fall in love with someone unsuitable. And in his father's mind, Elijah is definitely unsuitable. But Bastian is unwilling to give his love up. But he and Elijah are willing to let someone else in. So long as they can find the perfect princess to make their duo into a trio.
Ashe is living a fairy tale life. Only it's the kind of fairy tale that features familial abuse, neglect, and horrible step family. She's constantly belittled and berated. Her only escape is land surrounding her magnificent family home. After another argument, Ashe is in need for some relief when she encounters two smoking hot men by her favorite lookout.
The sparks fly. Passions soar. But there's parental machinations in play. And will the former assassin, the media prince, and the neglected stepdaughter get their happily ever after?
---
This is a very steamy erotic romance. It's also one of my favorite kinds of romance to read -- an equal, polyamorous triad. There's lots of heated sex scenes, and yes, swords do cross in this. You can definitely see hints and call outs to Cinderella. Ashe even loses her shoe at one point. But it's far enough away from the fairy tale that there are still some surprises.
I liked Bastian and Elijah a lot. Especially Elijah. There was a lot of great consent in this, especially when it came to Ashe and her choice in being a part of the relationship. I didn't warm to Ashe quite as much as I did the boys. I found her a little too much of a "Poor little rich girl." She did things that were a bit thoughtless toward the staff. I basically didn't love her.
There's some twists and the plot flows fairly well. I felt there was a bit of ending fatigue, but that's me.
Ultimately I enjoyed this novel so it gets:
Four Stars.

In my opinion, Erotica is meant to be outrageous, somewhat unbelievable, and contain the hottest sex you could ever imagine. Therefore I always like to clarify that I rate it differently than your run of the mill romance.
When it comes to the romance genre, whether that be contemporary, dark, paranormal, etc. I expect more. I want a solid plot, decent character development, and a climax I’ll never forget.
Reading erotica is like letting my hair down. I don't have to worry about all that stuff. I’m just in it for the sex!!
‘Ever After’ delivered exactly what I was looking for, but it had a bonus, an actual plot!!. My only qualm is that it was a little too long for my liking.
I loved the ‘Cinderella threesome’ vibe and the connection that Ashe, Sebastian, and Elijah developed with one another. Even though the men’s desire for Ashe was totally insta-love, the love between the two men made up for it. Their devotion to one another was undeniably true, believable, and well written.
If you're looking for a steamy polyamorous read, I highly recommend this book.
Thank you Netgalley and Entangled xx

❤️❤️Ever After is LIVE❤️❤️
@authoredenfrench just released a hot, new, retelling of a beloved old classic! This Cinderella inspired remake, is even better than the original... I mean why only have one Prince Charming, when you can have TWO!!!
I thought this was a unique take on not only a classic retelling, but also a lesser represented genre. This MMF story was so well done. I love the exploration of a triad, especially when a couple is well established and looking for the third to complete their family.
Sebastian, Elijah, and Ashe are three wayward souls, each battling their own demons. Evil family, professional expectations, and emotional baggage are all colluding to keep these lovers apart.
These three were HOT HOT HOT!!!! Their story was engaging and kept me on my toes! Some fun twists and turns with a toe-curling ending!
Highly recommend this book for anyone who thought the original fairytale needed a bit more spice to it! [Also for literally everyone, cause who doesn’t love a HOT book with two prince charmings?!]
@authoredenfrench just released a hot, new, retelling of a beloved old classic! This Cinderella inspired remake, is even better than the original... I mean why only have one Prince Charming, when you can have TWO!!!
I thought this was a unique take on not only a classic retelling, but also a lesser represented genre. This MMF story was so well done. I love the exploration of a triad, especially when a couple is well established and looking for the third to complete their family.
Sebastian, Elijah, and Ashe are three wayward souls, each battling their own demons. Evil family, professional expectations, and emotional baggage are all colluding to keep these lovers apart.

This was a Cinderella retelling, but definitely adult edition 🔥. This book was steamy as heck! It is a MMF romance, with two prince charmings who love each other and also fall in love with Ashe and want to include her into their relationship.
This was definitely insta love, which can be bleh, cheesy, and unrealistic but that is just my personal opinion on the insta love trope, yet I didn't mind it in this story because they were passionate more than obsessive in seeking the heroine and it added to the passion and steam between the three of them individually and together. There weren't issues of jealously or drama in the relationship which I enjoyed and I also enjoyed the plot with the twists and turns and of course our guaranteed HEA!
This book wasn't just erotica, it had a lot of emotion and there was a solid storyline. Overall, this was an enjoyable read that I could not put down!

Let me just say that I have always love Cinderella, but Eden makes this retelling so much more. I absolutely loved reading this story. I loved reading about Sebastian, Elijah and Ashe, their story is unique and oh so sensual, emotional and full of surprises. This story really had my attention and keep me in gross in the story till the very end. I love that although Sebastian and Elijah are both in tune to each other that when meeting Ashe they felt completely. Nit only that, but they instantly wanted to protect her and keep her safe from Gloria and Veronica. I must that I was surprised that they allowed Ashe to be herself. It’s also, amazing how they all are broken in one way or another, but together they become one. Most of all they fought for their love and family. Above all I absolutely love how justice was prevailed.

A Cinderella modern day fantasy with a twist. Oh my, what a twist it was!
I really enjoyed this hot, sexy, sensual full length MMF romance down to the last page. The author did a superb job at bringing our fairytale princess story to a reality base scenario and truly bringing to life the wicked characters who we demised to the forefront. Each character had great background and in depth personality that made you feel you knew the characters as if they were neighbors.
Ashe, Sebastian and Elijah were sinful together and I was excited to see that they story didn't just stop when the chapter stopped. As the Epilogue continued, it kept going and on a captivating, intriguing and down-right sexy book as Ever After is, I was thrilled as the words kept coming.

This story is so much more than I was expecting from reading the blurb. I was looking for straight up erotica and just steamy hot fun. I got that and so much more. The story encompasses a deep love between the three characters. It involves fighting for the things you believe in, being true to yourself, and being willing to protect the people you love at all cost. Sebastian, Elijah and Ashe could not have been more different yet together they made the perfect family. The author has done a magnificent job of discussing the issues while still making it about the romantic story it is. It is truly a fairytale happily ever after.

Ever After took a naughty twist on a classic tale.
Ashe is dealing with her wicked stepmother and stepsister as they treat her as household staff, while living off her deceased fathers fortune.
Ashe has every intention of waiting it out until she become old enough to collect her trust fund.
That is until she meets Sebastian and Elijah.
Why have one Prince Charming, when you can have, love, and enjoy two?
French sets the perfect scene for a delightfully naughty book, full of steam. She manages to maintain a great plot while having plenty of the “good stuff” count this one as a must read.

First let me say I received an ARC and was thrilled I did. I love, love this book! The story is intriguing and kept me on my toes. The love between Bastian and Elijah is a fairytale romance that translates into modern day with ease through the enticing and tantilizing words of Eden French. This author really knows how to create a romance that leaves the reader breathless and yearning for more.
Enter Ashe, who is definitely the icing on the cake and the more I want. To see the relationships blossom between these characters amidst the thriller and suspense of the evil lurking in the background just took me on a wild ride that I didn't want to get off of. I can't wait to read more from E. French, they are quickly becoming one of my all time favorite authors.

A menage version of Cinderella. Ashe was a former heiress and now she lives with her horrible stepmother and perfect stepsisters little more than a servant. She meets Sebastian and sparks fly; however, Sebastian has brought his body guard Elijah who are in love with each other as well. Can these three make a relationship work and can Ashe get out of under her stepmother’s control? Fast-paced off the charts hot read with great characters, intense chemistry between Ashe, Sebastian and Elijah. Plenty of drama and suspense. I loved it.

Loved this modern, erotic spin on the classic Cinderella tale. Ashe meets Sebastian and Elijah in the forest one day and the attraction among the 3 of them is instant and undeniable. However, they soon discover that Ashe's stepmother and sister and Sebastian's father have plans for Sebastian that don't include Ashe. Ever After is steamy, romantic and intriguing - I found it difficult to put down. This is the first book I've read by Eden French, but I will definitely be reading more in the future.

'Ever After' Is a super steamy, adults only version of Cinderella. Personally I love fairytale romance retelling, made even better by the fact it was MMF. This book was HOT from cover to cover, I couldn't put it down.
Elijah and Sebastian are already lovers, both falling for Ash hard and fast. They are all broken but maybe their love can mend them, Ash just needs to give these guys a chance and accept what they offer.

I can safely say I was left a little breathless when I finished this book.
A modern day Cinderella story but instead of one Prince Charming you get two. A hot story for Ashe, Elijah and Sebastian. A great reworking of the story with sex thrown in.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an ARC

**I received a copy of Ever After from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions were not solicited in any way.**
Ever After by Eden French was very hot and the chemistry between the three was off the charts. Think of a modern day Cinderella with a evil stepmother and sister but with a twist where Ashe meets TWO princes who love her as she is and are willing to share their own love with her.
Ashe Pembroke is waiting anxiously for the next 2 years until her trust fund is hers living with a very evil stepmother and sister who treat her worse than anyone can imagine. Her escape is the woods surrounding the house where she meets both Elijah and Bastion. All three feel an instant attraction but when will explore it separately before they're together.
Sebastian Bradford doesn't want to take over his father's company but knows it's inevitable except it would mean letting everyone know that Elijah is his forever after. When he's forced into producing an heir by his father Ashe will volunteer because he knows that both he and Elijah want her to share their lives.
This was a fantastic read that I literally devoured in one day and I look forward to reading more by Ms. French.

Received an arc from netgalley. Really enjoyed this mmf romance. It’s hot! Definitely recommend it

Ashe Pembroke is a modern-day Cinderella with an evil stepmother, a horrid stepsister, and a Prince Charming waiting on the horizon…make that two Prince Charmings!
Rich, reformed party boy Sebastian Bradford is drop-dead sexy. He’s the son of a ruthless tycoon with one goal in mind, marry off his son to someone and ensure another heir to the Bradford line. But Sebastian—and his special ops lover Elijah—have life goals of their own.
When Ashe, Sebastian, and Elijah meet, the chemistry is instantaneous and intense. But can this trio find a happily ever after together? Their meddling families have their own plans and some of them might be downright dangerous to the future the three have dared to pursue together.
Ever After is the latest release by erotic romance author Eden French and it is hot, hot, hot! The author has done a fantastic job of developing a storyline that is just as engaging as the sex scenes are mind blowing. The chemistry between all the main characters is palpable and, while the ménage aspect can seem forced in many novels, it feels totally natural—and even perfect—in this story. The storyline flows smoothly, the pacing is spot-on, and the dialogue realistic.
Ever After has a November 16,2020 release date, so if you’re into erotic, ménage romance—or if you’re ménage curious—I totally recommend ordering it now!
