I'm usually really strict with my review copies. I have to know for at least 90% certain that I am gonna the book. I have to admit that in this case I wasn't too sure. Mostly because when a dick turned into a candy cane is the main plot point I get a little afraid that it's gonna be the only plot point combined with a lot of sex. But I trust Erin Bedford. I trust that she can write something hilarious and fun and still give it a little more. So, I grabbed my copy from BookSprout and dove in.

I was not expecting to read this book in one sitting. It was such an entertaining and easy read that I flew through it and before I knew it I had reached the end of the book. And yes, the candy dick was the main plot point. And yes, there was quite some sex in this book. And yet I did feel that there was also this little bit more. Mostly because as a reader you actually do know that this is more than "just" sex. This is sex with feelings.

I also really enjoyed both main characters in this story. Of course it's clear that deep down they actually each other from the start. I guess the prince kinda enjoyed someone talking back to him and having to work to get some romantic attention for once. And secretly our witch does enjoy his arrogance and confidence. But I most of all d how they also dared to confront each other with fears, worries and doubts.

The ending of the book felt a little rushed. I'm normally not a big fan of epilogues that don't really add much to the story, but in this case I would have loved that extra chapter to see for myself that we were leaving both characters in a good place. However, I did love that the last few chapters of the book totally fitted our prince and witch, who they are and how they handle each other. I'm pretty sure the kingdom is gonna have quite some trouble with these two in the future.

Speaking of the future: This book screams for spin-offs starring the side characters we met in this book. I really hope Bedford is willing to revisit the world to tell us their stories!review-copies2 s bell17

saw a tiktok about this and so i took one for the team to find out how a candy cane d*ck was supposed to work out anatomically. it was not a literal candy cane. just a normal appendage but was cursed to gradually turn into candy cane substance the more the prince slept around?? and then it shoots out red and white??

plot was all over the place too bc first the witch just is selling curses and candy and then she wants to make a mould of the prince’s d*ck so she agrees to help him break the curse she inadvertently caused and then suddenly theres a werewolf and a vampire in the woods trying to mate her??? and then the prince falls in love with her after trying to save her from vampire????? sir what

Note: I received an advanced review copy in exchange for my honest review.

I hadn't thought much to what this book would bring...I knew a tiny bit of the plot but dived in for what I hoped would be a fun read.

Having finished? It was a REALLY good read! The characters and the dynamic was fun. The evolution of the relationships/interaction between the main characters and even secondary made the story itself interesting at each part.
I'll avoid spoiling the plot secrets or ruin any moments - that's not my way...

What I can say? I d it...so much I hope we can revisit this world. I wanna know what happens to the secondary characters? I wanna know if there's more adventures for our Witch & Prince? Erin Bedford has a way to giving us a great story, simple - yet complex enough to keep you interested in each chapter. The bonus? The world we get in a single novel always leaves us wanting more of the world she creates....this book does all this.

While I've enjoyed many books by this author over this years...this little novel just has this feeling of simply GOOD story that I feel comes from a passion of the author's that is a gift to us readers. So to make this long review short: I totally recommend reading if you enjoy fun, cheeky humour, adventure and a dash of love. Oh...and who wouldn't feel something peppermint after finishing this yummy story! ;).

Oh man. This is hilarious. A prince with a candy cane dick, and apparently it tastes peppermint. I enjoyed the adventure the witch and the prince embarked on to find the ingredients to cure him of this candy-filled body part. Very quick and fast paced and the other characters was entertaining to read about as well.kindle-unlimited1 Stephanie Luu3 1 follower

I’ve never fallen in love with the premise of a book more — every part was comedic laughter and the shock factor in every sentence was crazy. The prince said some pretty questionable stuff that I have beef with, but his brand of humour caught on with me in the latter half of the book. 1 Shannon2,646 20

Fun take on a classic fairytale. The villain, or-in this case- the granddaughter of the villain- gets a say and a chance to redeem herself in this book. 1 Samantha McLane62 2

Candy Cane Stick

I want a candy cane prince!! I loved this book, I couldn't put it down! 5 stars. It was dark, sexy and just the right amount of sweetness (ha get it) 1 Ay Oh Be501 2

It's not often that I regret buying a book.

Before: Facebook advertised this novel to me. It sounded cute and fun when I read the synopsis.

During: Uh .... Uh .... I made several notes about the main male character, William, is a misogynistic jackass. If this was a modern setting he would follow Andrew Tate on socials. I also lost count of the amount of times her grabbed her around the neck both out of anger and during their sexcapades. I found him repulsive.
Also there needed to be an editor here. While there aren't spelling mistakes there are a number of misused words that had me guessing (and hoping) about the author's intentions.
At one point I realized I would never want to read this in public.

After: I do not feel the need to read more books by this author.
While I understand people have their sexual preferences this one is definitely not mine. I find nothing sexy about a man who is violent and can't control his temper. Not to mention the frequent use of "whore", "filthy c*nt" and "bitch". Even when she tries to bring in BDSM the main female character, Tara, mentions that she doesn't trust him and that makes it more exciting where I had always been under the impression that trust was crucial to healthy BDSM relationships.
There is nothing healthy about the relationships in these books.
It was a book of red flags and ick factors. Ash Juillet564 5

Thanks to Booksprout for a copy of this book.

I absolutely bloody loved this book! At first, it sounded crack, but then the comedy began and I couldn't help but laugh and want more of everything. I loved this book so, so, so fucking much that you won't believe it. Note about me: I only swear in a review if it's a book I'm 100% passionate about, so you have to know that this book was utter perfection.

The banter, the chemistry, the filthy, filthy tongue William had, the dialogues, Percy the shifter, Bianca's and Tara's friendship, everything was just beautifully done. I loved the lore woven into this story, and I can't help but want more fairytale erotic romances from this author. I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more books from Erin Bedford. Mersi50

I didn’t really expect it to be this way and don’t get it wrong, it’s FABULOUS. The chemistry between Tara and William was everything and I couldn’t wait to get the deed scenes which were above all my expectations. William went from wanting to do nothing with her because she was a “lower being” to wanting to spend his life with her and ‘convince’ her that they were meant to be together (as if she needed that much convincing, but girl, I get it).

Fairytale retelling aren’t my thing but I saw this book and decided to take a chance and wow I wasn’t disappointed.

This author knows how to make a fairytale book both realistic and fantasy all in one go. I was captivated by not only the plot but by the chapters as well. I adored how Tara was written and I loved William even though he wasn’t team Tara at first.

This book was both steamy and funny but perfectly blended that it keeps you reading and forgetting you have other things to do. Charlotte3,280 47

My Gingerbread Ever After is a completely nutty load of laughable fun. When a curse that Witch - Tara (FMC) sells to a buyer to get even with her boyfriend turns a certain part of his body into a Candy Cane she ends up with an irate Prince William on her doorstep looking for retribution from her. Which leads them both on a caper to cure him of his problem with lots of laughs on the way as well as some steam too.

I really loved the dynamic Tara & William had. It made this book for me. It was a knockout read. Im curious about Bianca and Percy now? Bonnie Chisholm278

I started this book mainly because it is short (shooting for my goal in the reading challenge) and the premise sounded cute. My mistake. Surely that current 4.+ stars (not a lot of yet) will drop big time . This story is crude, stupid and terribly written. Anyone who thinks this is worth 5 stars, I challenge you to go find yourself a book in your chosen genre that has 500,000 ratings in the 4+ star range, read it and see what hard work, research and quality writing is really . Just my opinion...fantasy Ashley124 2

I love Erin Bedford and even when the story plot sounded a little bizarre I knew it was going to be a good read! Bedford always manages to take something a candy cane ahem and make it the most hilarious story you've read in a while. A witch and a prince what could go wrong! This will make you laugh and you won't want to stop reading until the end. The end.....that I think could spin off into more and I hope it does because this was just a great escape!

My Gingerbread Ever After by Erin Bedford.
A Fairy Tale Fantasy Romance.
Ever since my grandma ate those kids, witches have had a bad reputation.
My plan?
1. Make a candy store
2. Provide curses for scorned women
3. Get yelled at by cursed prince
That last one I didn’t plan and now I had to run all over the candy forest to change the prince’s… ahem… back to normal.
A good read. Loved the story. 4*.

This is a very heated but a laugh out loud book. So darn funny, I loved it! I couldn't put it down, ha, ha ha! The author has outdone herself with this one. This is about a Prince with a very big problem and a witch trying to help him out.
If you don't mind some sexy parts, then you need to read this book, did I tell you it was funny. Great storytelling. Boo3,145 14

enjoyed

Was an enjoyable read, the enemies to lovers wasn’t too heavy. It was funny because of the candy cane. Although I do wish she was kind of stuck around or the end because of what he put her through. Wonder what would happen if she just pleaded guilty, since he seem to be against her even if it was just an act. And I kind of want more of these characters. Ash_Azalea102 1 follower
