A Curse for True Love (Once Upon a Broken Heart, #3)

by Stephanie Garber

Evangeline

Oooh multiple POVS

Her head hurt and her chest felt hollowed out, as if she’d lost more than just her memories.

“I am the one who will never let anyone harm you again.”

Eat my ass dude

“Lord Jacks is the man who killed me. Then he stole the memories of my bride, Evangeline. I will not rest until Jacks is found and he pays for his crimes with his life!”

Which chapter does it die

Apollo had just come back from the dead, how did he already know what had happened to her?

YES WORK THAT BRAIN

Her heart still hurt, as if it had been broken and only jagged bits remained.

He would carry her through more than just freezing waters. He would pull her through fire if he had to, haul her from the clutches of war, from falling cities and breaking worlds

“Did you want me to stay?”

Fuck no

“He poisoned me on our wedding night and framed you for the murder.

My fucking god dont tell me she'll find the letter she wrote to herself

Apollo

Ugh

“Get her pregnant with an heir,”

OH FUCK NO

“Evangeline still doesn’t remember me,” Apollo said. “Does that really matter? You’re a prince,” Belleflower inserted. “The girl should feel lucky to be married to you. Without you, she would be no one.”

Yeah die twin

that she noticed the scar. It was on the underside of her right wrist, thin and white, shaped like a broken heart.

YESSSSSS

“Is that really how Lord Jacks looks?”

Oh honey you have no idea

“The Greatest Love Story Ever Told: The True and Unabridged History of Evangeline Fox and the Prince of Hearts.”

made Evangeline think of an excitable puppy that had stolen a crown simply because it was shiny and pretty and fun to play with.

Thats basically how it went

“My name is Havelock, Your Highness.”

MY GOAT PLEASE BE ON HER SIDE

She was the moth and Jacks was still the flame.

and I hope you understand that as long as you treat me like an untrustworthy captive, I will act like one instead of like your wife.”

The voice sounded male and unfamiliar. “Evangeline!”

JACKS JACKS JACKS PLEASE TELL ME ITS JACKS

She could feel his chest. Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.

He was beautiful. Inhuman. A warrior angel with blue eyes and golden hair and a face that made Evangeline think that writing poetry should be her new hobby.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Apollo smiled, clearly thinking he was the reason.

Dumbass

Jacks

YES YES YES YES YESSSSS

Jacks had always considered himself more of a sadist than a masochist. He enjoyed inflicting pain, not receiving it. And yet he couldn’t bring himself to leave the shadows of Evangeline’s bedroom.

WHAT

Jacks just needed to make sure she was still alive. That she wasn’t bleeding. In danger. Unhappy. Cold. She was safe in her bed. She’d be even safer when he left her. But he was too selfish to leave just yet. He leaned against the bedpost and watched as she slept. He’d never understood why someone would watch another person sleep … until her.

He so whipped hihihi

He considered setting the room ablaze just so that he’d have a reason to pick her up and carry her out, to save her one last time, before he left her for good.

He hadn’t thought it would take it from her.

Wait so he doesnt know Apollo did this or did Time manipulate Apollo

Then he could leave her for good.

Nuh uh. NUH UH

“Wait!” Evangeline called. “What’s your name?” You already know, Little Fox. But once again, his thoughts weren’t projected loudly enough for her to hear.

Instead, he gave her the name he’d planned on. He knew she wouldn’t remember it, and he needed to make sure he didn’t forget it. “You can call me Archer.”

He’d been handsome before, but now there something almost uncomfortable about how beautiful he was.

She scowled. This only made him grin wider. Which was worse. He had dimples. Unfair dimples.

“You want to test me, Princess? Because I would dare to do even more.”

Sure you would pal

his fingers splayed in a way that felt less like he wanted to restrain her and more like he just wanted to touch her—to

He shielded her, turning her body as they fell.

“Are you insane?” “Undoubtedly.”

She’d refused to believe that she was in danger. He had to show her that she was wrong.

Die die die die die die die die die die

that Evangeline’s lack of trust in him had forced him to take such drastic action.

Holy victim complex

In the midst of it all, Evangeline sparkled, graceful and innocent and beautiful.

Great example of actions speak louder than words tbf

Maybe if he played this right, she’d let him do so later that night.

Get out

and may those who stand in its way be cursed!”

Is that a spoiler to your ending

“I didn’t realize you had a dagger on your person.”

S I G H

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” growled Archer.

Hes always there when she needs him *=*

brought the blade to the man’s left eye.

I love that move

“Don’t be rude. The princess asked you a question.”

“Answer her.”

It was dark and wet and for a second, she couldn’t breathe.

YESSS THE ONE AND ONLY CLIFF MEMORY

But she had been wrong. It had been Archer.

Apollo hated apples.

Too bad
