Lace Vengeance is the third and final book of Eve Dangerfield’s Snow White Trilogy. I have enjoyed this wild ride of a darker Snow White Retelling and am sad that it’s now over, but also glad because the FMC, January, deserves a happily ever after with her men. If you have been wanting to read this trilogy, then now is the time to do it since it is complete.
Storyline/My Thoughts: Anyone who loves fairy retellings, you’ll enjoy the darker storyline of Snow White that Eve Dangerfield has written in this trilogy. I categorized it as Dark Romance on my bookshelves due to certain content in the trilogy, such as the FMC being kidnapped by the four men who end up falling in love with her along the way. Let’s not forget that these four men have different personalities, but each would burn down the world for the FMC because they are possessive and jealous maniacs for her and her only. I love the antiheroes in stories, and that is exactly what Doc, Eli, Bobby, and Adriano are to January Whitehall. I don’t have a favorite of the men because they each stole the show in the book, especially with reading their POVs. Yes, you get all four men’s POV and January’s POV.
There is some breeding kink in this book if you are a reader into that kind of thing. I enjoyed how the men fought over January and how they communicated when January voiced her concerns to them. They respected January and her wishes; even if one or two were bothered by the terms, they finally accepted. It’s all about communication, and they did the darn thing, which is another reason I can’t choose between the men and who I liked the most from the trilogy.
January was the sweet and innocent-looking Snow White throughout the trilogy, but her character grew, especially in the last book. The title implies vengeance, which means that the bad guys in the trilogy will finally get what is coming to them, but only after the bad guys end up doing things that put each MC at risk. If there is one thing you’ll learn in this book is that January will do anything for her men, too, and she proves it time and again in Lace Vengeance.
If there were one person who deserved a much-needed HEA, it would be January Whitehall, and she finally got in this book. Not without dealing with several things that could have been avoided, especially in this book. Don’t get me started on how big of a douche I thought of Bianci’s contract that he had with Parker and the Velvet House. I’m glad about what happened at his wedding because that man allowed certain people to be around January and her men, even though they weren’t supposed to be around them. What was the point of the contract then if Bianci didn’t stick to it? Grrr!! That was the only thing that irked me when reading the final book. There were other things too, but minor compared to this one thing, and I knew it was due to drama, but January deserved better. I also felt I missed out on things with January and her men, especially since this book is one year after the second book. Other than those issues, I did like this book, but it wasn’t my favorite. I liked how January (a sweet girl) stood up to Bianci at the very end and demanded things after what she and her men were put through HELL. Yes, I said HELL. Don’t even get me started with January’s stepmother and how she took the easy way out. That woman was evil, and so were some of January’s siblings.
Overall, this was an entertaining darker tell of Snow White. No, there are not seven dwarves, but there are four men who each fall hard for Snow White and would do anything for her. I look forward to reading more from Eve Dangerfield, especially since this trilogy was my first from the author and definitely not my last.
Standalone or Part of Series: It’s part of the Snow White Trilogy and I recommend reading in order.

About Eve Dangerfield
Eve Dangerfield has loved romance novels ever since she first swiped her grandmother's paperbacks. Now she writes her own stories about complicated women and gorgeous-but-slightly-tortured men. Her work has been described as 'genre-defying,' 'insanely hot' and 'the defibrillator contemporary romance needs right now'...and not just by herself or those who might need bone marrow...OTHER PEOPLE! She lives in Melbourne with her boy and a bunch of semi-dead plants. She can generally be found making a mess.
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
