The Fairy Tale Bride is suitable for more mature young adults because it contains some sexual scenes that aren’t suitable for younger teenagers. At the time of posting this review, the Kindle version of this book was free - so it's worth a few seconds of your time to simply download your copy!
As you can probably guess from the cover, the book is a period romance and follows the story of a hard up wealthy family who are struggling to make ends meet after the deaths of their parents in a carriage accident. The Duke has 6 sisters to marry off – many of who require a Season in London. Is it possible that they can keep the wolves from the door or are they doomed to fail?
Though the story in itself is pretty well written, I did find my enjoyment dulled by poor editing (lines of text were missing in places) and a rather confusing story line. The reason Simon and Amelia were married was because he’d compromised her out of wedlock… yet later on in the story, she was once again a virgin – this needs some clarity. My final gripe would have to be the predictability of the story. I had it more or less figured out from an early point of the book.
I did like some of the descriptions though – especially where the Duchess was taken on a tour by the Dowager Duchess and the descriptions she gave of the rooms. I could almost see the portraits of the former Dukes glaring down at me with their eyes. The characters were also pretty likable with divides on who to love and who to hate being set pretty early on in the book.
