Amazon #1 bestseller in Women's Fiction Fantasy, Women's Fiction Humor, and Paranormal Fantasy.Â National Indie Excellence AwardsÂ finalist.Â SaysÂ New York Times bestselling authorÂ Stephanie Evanovich:Â Laura Kenyon makes happily ever after desperately delicious!"Â

Imagine what might happen if our most beloved fairy tale princesses were the best of friends and had the dreams, dilemmas, and libidos of the modern woman. How would their stories unfold after the wedding bells stopped ringing? Set in a fictional realm based on New York City, DESPERATELY EVER AFTER sprinkles women's fiction with elements of fantasy, and encourages readers to rethink everything they know about happy endings.

Years after turning her husband from beast back to man and becoming his queen, Belle finds out she's finally going to have a child. But before she can announce the wondrous news, she catches him cheating and watches her "happily ever after" go up in flames. Turning to her friends for the strength to land with grace, she realizes she's not the only one at a crossroads:

Cinderella, a mother of four drowning in royal duties, is facing her 30th birthday and questioning everything she's done (or hasn't) with her life.

Rapunzel, a sex-crazed socialite and one-woman powerhouse, is on a self-destructive quest to make up for 20 years locked away in a tower.

Penelopea, an outsider with a mother-in-law from hell, is harboring a secret that could ruin everything at any moment.

One part Sex and the City, two parts Desperate Housewives, and three parts Brothers Grimm, DESPERATELY EVER AFTER picks up where the original tales left off--and reimagines them a la Gregory Maguire's Wicked. With the wit of authors like Jennifer Weiner and the vision of ABC's Once Upon a Time, the women of DESPERATELY EVER AFTER rescue each other from life's trials with laughter, wine, and a scandalous new take on happily ever after.

Reviews
"Laura Kenyon makes happily ever after desperately delicious!" ~ Stephanie Evanovich, New York Times bestselling author of Big Girl Panties

"At times laugh-out-loud funny, and at times very touching, Desperately Ever After is the debut of a real talent." ~ Elizabeth Blackwell, author of While Beauty Slept and The Letter

"It's no longer a case of just reading their stories and hoping to meet our prince charming and getting swept away. Kenyon shows that the fairy tale promise is not all that it's cracked up to be. She keeps it real and enduring for the modern woman." ~ Janice G. Ross, author of Damaged Girl and Island Hopping

"If you are looking for a fun and gossipy story to satisfy the holes left when Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives had their series finales (or even if you're going through Once Upon a Time withdrawal come season finale time) look no further than Desperately Ever After." ~ Chick Lit Central

"An explosive cocktail that will have you laughing out loud and wanting more and more!" ~ Lost in Chick Lit

"No more damsel in distress, useless without her prince, but modern day woman struggling with and enjoying love. Desperately Ever After is a wonderfully sarcastic, romantic and heartwarming tale about love and friendship with witty conversations, juicy cliches and a healthy dose of humor. I cannot wait to read the sequel!" ~ M's Bookshelf

"Empowering and hilarious, I think everyone should read this." ~ Tea Party Princess

"It's the perfect book to be reading this summer and it's completely unputdownable!" ~ The YA's Nightstand
