Once Upon Ever After #2
Bellamy & Sebastian
This sequel delivers everything I wanted after that brutal cliffhanger: more mystery, more royal chaos, and more of Sebastian being an intense, broody beast with a silvery‑blue stare that could freeze oceans — except when he’s with Bellamy and the kids, where he turns into a total softy. In the bedroom, though? The man absolutely lives up to his reputation, and Bellamy is delighted.
Bellamy’s irreverent humor and American practicality (“curses aren’t real, bad things happen, move on”) continue to be the perfect antidote to centuries of royal superstition. She brings warmth and fun into a palace drowning in secrets, curses, and generational trauma. The discovery that she’s pregnant with twins adds joy… until tragedy hits and she spirals into a grief that feels painfully real.
The mystery of Desta’s kidnapping explodes wide open with the dowager queen’s shocking confession — betrayal, scandal, and a level of coldness that made my jaw drop. Rowan steps up beautifully, proving he’s far more than the playboy prince we met before.
And then comes Charlotte, the “perfect” nanny who turns out to be a walking red flag. The snooping, the manipulation, the cheek kiss — all leading to a kidnapping that ties the entire mystery together in a chilling way. The rescue is tense and satisfying, and Sebastian’s groveling afterward is exactly the catharsis I needed.
There’s humor (Arthur the ferret!), heartbreak, jealousy, danger, and yes… an almost comical amount of anal play. These two have no fear.
Overall, it’s a dramatic, emotional, addictive continuation of a series that thrives on love, chaos, and the stubborn belief that curses don’t stand a chance against Bellamy’s big heart and sassy ways.
