Although I had hoped that the author would bring these two protagonists from this book together, I was surprised with their backstory. It is an exciting, heartwrenching read. I look forward to reading more about Flicka; she is kick-***. My
only complaint with this book is I have to wait a month to find out what happens next.

This was wonderful, and crazy, and totally insane! I will be wandering around mumbling to myself full of worry until the rest of the books come out. I loved reading all the different threads of Flicka's story that interlace with Wulf, Rae, Georgie, Xan/Alexandre, Lizzy and Theo's stories all here together again from Flicka and Dieter's viewpoints. I also loved reading about their pasts growing up with Wulf. The descriptions of Deiter are yummy and drool worthy. Five weeks until In Shining Armor... how will I survive?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book with all the twists and turns. Blair keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Too much exposition & then it ends on a cliffhanger & you have to purchase 2-3 more books to complete the story. Authors, please stop the money grabbing & give me a complete book! The two main characters were interesting but I will never know how their story ends.

Flicka and Dieter have years of history, and we finally get to see it. Blair Babylon is a master at weaving together timelines and backstories, and at storytelling in general. Flicka's story is a rollercoaster of emotions and adventures with great main characters. It took me a little longer to warm up to Flicka, but Dieter was instant awesomeness. Be aware this is part one of several parts. It's a generous sample of a really wonderful book. I found Blair Babylon through these samples that she offers and she's now an autobuy favorite that I would have missed out on otherwise.

Took a little break from the series, but Flicka has an interesting story. I am off to the next. Hooked again!

Love this series! All of this author’s books are great in depth stories with complex, interesting characters and enough of both romance and action to keep anyone happy. Great writer and I love her books.

I loved the authors style of writing, the action was believeable plus the way the scenes were described made me feel like I was actully right beside flicka. Thank you for writing this story. I didn't want to put the story down until I finished it.

So wordy and kind of snooze because of it . I had to struggle to finish it.
|
|
I couldn't get into it. None of it made since. At least it was free
|

I loved the book. It did get a little
wordy in some of the chapters. But over all it was a great read and I'm about to get the next one.

Waiting for this book was so much like waiting for Christmas morning when I was 8 years old. I knew there would be surprises and even then, stuff that I had so hoped for, but usually, just wasn't in the realm of reality for our family. Well the realm of this (over 30 yo) woman got a totally wonderful hunky, wonderful, huge spark of brilliance and - yes! You did it Blair! This book is fantastical.
Not even 5 minutes in and I was thrilled out of my skin! I know there's spoiler alerts, here and there. But, I'm not going to write about that. I've just been looking at my calendar since yesterday and really moaning and sooking(Eastern Canadian term for an adult being babyish) about how long it is until #2. I assure you, I'm totally on board for anything Blair Babylon writes and will keep sooking (probably!) until May 18th.

This book is the first in a series about a princess who isn’t living a happily ever after (yet). We’ve met Flicka in Blair’s other books. She’s the little sister of Wulfram, the hero in one of Blair’s other series - Rae’s story. Flicka has always intrigued me in these other books and I couldn’t wait for her to get her own story! Now it’s here and her hero is someone else that deserves a happy ending.
Blair’s books are long, entrancing and incredibly detailed. She’s an excellent writer who does research and it shows. All the books are intertwined but this book can be read without having to have read the others (although you will want to after you read this!).
Flicka’s story starts with her marriage to Pierre - a rat bastard as everyone likes to call him. Her marriage doesn’t seem to be a love match from the very beginning and for good reason. As the book progresses we see more and more why Flicka needs to leave her new husband and run away to her hero.
Flicka’s story is tangled and messy and this is just the beginning. I can’t wait to read the rest of the story! Get this book and devour it before the next one comes out because you’ll want to continue it as soon as you finish this one!!

A Review of Once Upon A Time (Runaway Billionaires: Flicka, Book 1) by Blair Babylon
Flicka - 5+++++ Stars
We finally get to see how things played out from Flicka's point of view. Gahhhh, there are sooo many things I want to talk about, but I really don't want to spoil this for others. If you are like me, you may want to have your copies of Rae and Wulf's story (and all of the epilogues that concern them) available while you are reading this. I found myself going back to their story to review things that I had forgotten or to verify things that I thought I remembered being slightly different. I know that this book ends on a cliffhanger, but I've also heard that Ms. Babylon has the full series ready to go at a quick pace so there shouldn't be a lot of lag time before we get the next book in the series. There are many twists and turns that threw me for a loop, but in a good way. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series to come out so that I can find out WTF is going on. Definitely one that you don't want to miss.

This story shocked me from the beginning to the end! Blair Babylon does it again with this book keeping me engaged and anxiously awaiting the next book. It does end on a cliffhanger but its expected since this is a series. I am excited to see where Blair goes with this story and can't wait to learn of Dieter's past, maybe a true prince... Plus, now I'm even more intrigued by Maxence's story.

This is the much anticipated story of Prinzessin Flicka von Hannover. Sister of Wulfram von Hannover from Billionaires in Disguise:Rae. Flickas story begins within the same time frame as the original series. If you haven't read it yet, I will say I think it's better if you have. Reading the Billionaires in Disguise series in order will give you a greater understanding of how all of the other wonderful characters and the intricacies of their relationships with each other, fit in within Flickas series. Having said that, there is enough depth and description within the book in order to read it as a standalone. Be prepared to fall in love with some amazing characters.
At the beginning of BID:Rae, I originally felt that Flicka was the typical spoilt Royal. I should've known that Blair Babylon had a plan all along. You can always guarantee she'll take your heart and soul on one hell of a ride, spitting you out at the end, feeling completely the opposite to how you did at the beginning.
Flicka had a relationship 2 years previous. One that we learn throughout the book, broke her heart. Step in book villain Prince Pierre Grimaldi, the very aptly nick named Rat B&$!&£) by those who know him! Pierre and Flicka marry, Flicka thinking she has his heart at least. She believes their very grown-up marriage that he can put his d!(% anywhere, as long as she has his heart. After all, she's had the other kind of love, the one that leaves you broken, the kind she feels Hannovers were not meant to have.
Well, I should've known there were going to be some serious twists. Don't expect them to be on the page only, my goodness, my heart has been twisted too! To protect herself, Flicka is forced to go on the run.
I always have this issue when I buy a book from Blair Babylon. I'm so desperate to know what's going on, I read the chapter/contents page, trying to figure out what each of them mean. Followed by such a sense of excitement, only paralleled by Santa at Christmas time, I'm torn between devouring every page or holding onto it, not wanting it to end.
I don't want to give the game away. If you want to know why she runs or what all the twists are then all I can say is, as well as purchasing Once Upon A Time, make sure you clear your diary, buy shares in Kleenex (Or in my case Maltesers) and expect the unexpected! The second book in this series In Shinning Armour is already up for pre-order. I can honestly say I've never pre-ordered a book so fast in my life!

Oh my goodness I was so excited to finally be reading Flicka's story.
She is one wildcat indeed and it shows much more in this story. Her father is still as wicked as ever but not this time...
Enter Dieter to the rescue as always Flicka's love for this man has lasted for a very long time but can it be again?
Fantastic story and I anxiously await for more more more....

Blair Babylon has done it YET AGAIN! This first book in Flicka’s story is an exciting, heartbreaking, and at times funny, can’t put it down read! Her story can stand alone, of course, but for those of us who have read other books in the Billionaires in Disguise series, it’s like seeing old friends again. Flicka and Dieter have known each other since she was 10 and he 21, but we find out much more about their relationship as she prepares to marry Prince Pierre Grimaldi of Monaco. I won’t be telling you more, no spoilers, just get a copy and read!
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.
