The Swan Princess with a twist.
This is the first book in a new series called A Medieval
Fairy Tale.
Being attracted to the forester is a real problem for Odette
since she’s been poaching on the margrave’s land. Odette feels a deep need to help feed the
poor, orphaned children in Thornbeck and that means sneaking out almost every
night and killing deer. Her uncle knows
about her nightly activities, but he wants her to settle down and get
married. And he has just the person in
mind…
Odette meets Jorgen and she’s instantly attracted to
him. He’s not exactly the man her uncle
has in mind. She’s held off getting
married, not only because she hasn’t met the right man, but she knows she won’t
be able to continue feeding the poor. No
husband in their right mind is going to want his wife poaching deer.
Odette has a suitor that would be wealthy enough she could
continue to help the poor, but she can’t get Jorgen out of her mind. But he’s below her station and he’s going to
hate her if he ever finds out she’s the poacher making his life more difficult.
This book started out a bit slow for me, but picked up
quickly. You’re able to pick up elements
of The Swan Princess in there, but it’s retold in an interesting and enjoyable
way. I was more partial to Jorgen’s
character, but Odette had grown on me by the end. Overall, I liked this book and look forward
to the next one in the series. Good
Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
