Eve Dangerfield’s Lace Vengeance ARC Review

Thank you to Eve Dangerfield and the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Lace Vengeance, the third and final book in the Snow White trilogy.

I overall really enjoyed both this final book and this entire trilogy. If anyone is in the mood for a Why Choose or a retelling I would definitely recommend this as a fun binge-read.

I am a Dangerous Press review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews.

Cover of Lace Vengeance, which features a branch with a diamond necklace dangling from it.

Once upon a time I had everything. Four perfect husbands, a gorgeous home, a shining future. I was the princess of Velvet House. The beloved jewel of the men I love.

My heart understood this perfect snapshot could not last. My evil stepmother conspires with my twisted ex-fiancé, watching for me in the darkness.

They won’t rest until my life is ashes.

My men vow to protect me, but when the nightmare falls, they are put in chains. I stand alone and alone I must seek vengeance for my lovers…

To become the queen I was born to be.

Check out my more detailed thoughts below…

  • Characters: I love where January’s character development got to as she has undergone some staggering changes. I loved how she embraced a newfound independence and confidence. The men in her life just elevate her noble qualities and help to bring out what was in her all along. Things that her family had stifled in her, now get to shine. The best part was how she was not a pushover for the boys, that she fought for the future she wanted not just for herself, but how a future would look for all of them. With all this work put into the development of January’s character, I felt that the boys were a bit neglected. Bobby and Adriano saw virtually no development, while a little attention was paid to Elliot and Doc specifically working through the trust that comes with falling in love. I would have liked a bit more but I understand the limitation with the length and how many love interests there are. The little we know about the side characters is very interesting and I am excited to hopefully read a future book about January’s sister Margo, and/or the tale of the twin bodyguards, Archie and Bill.
  • Setting: Our story starts at Velvet House, which has transitioned from the much more icy unloving place that it was in the first instalment, to a home for January, her men, and their future family. I do not want to go into too much detail about where else you get to go as it does spoil the plot of the books. But know that the plot takes them away from Velvet House, but the little sojourner brings fodder for romantic scenes.
  • Pacing: This book was paced very well, some readers may find these on the shorter side but I do not mind the fast pace of this story, which the entire series moved at. I want to laud heavy praise on how this book started, it is an explosive scene and just epic. It was a true amalgamation of January’s character development and just how hot this series was.
  • Romance: On the topic of hot, yes of course this book is riddled with scorching hot sex scenes with different match-ups of January with Doc, Bobby, Elliott, and/or Adriano. I was grateful to see no regression in where the relationship was left at the end of the second instalment. Rather much of the conflict that threatens their relationship is external rather than internal. The plot sure threw our characters through a loop and really tested the boys’ romantic devotion to January and their brotherly bond with one another. There was still room in all of that for the emotional development of this relationship, specifically some of the boys’ struggle to say I love you and how it symbolized their greater struggle to trust in the special thing they had. The new elements introduced in the romance storyline are predictable (maybe even a bit cliche) but it is still a satisfactory conclusion to an entertaining series.

Lace Vengeance receives four out of five stars.
