The Fairest Beauty

Review by Felicity

The Fairest Beauty

Genre: Fractured Fairy Tales, Christian, Romance


Rating: Y


Content: Clean (spend night together unchaperoned which is pointed out as not good)


Summary:  (from goodreads)


Sophie desperately wants to get away from her stepmother's jealousy, and believes escape is her only chance to be happy. Then a young man named Gabe arrives from Hagenheim Castle, claiming she is betrothed to his older brother, and everything twists upside down. This could be Sophie's one chance at freedom—but can she trust another person to keep her safe?


Gabe defied his parents Rose and Wilhelm by going to find Sophie, and now he believes they had a right to worry: the girl's inner and outer beauty has enchanted him. Though romance is impossible—she is his brother's future wife, and Gabe himself is betrothed to someone else—he promises himself he will see the mission through, no matter what.


Personal Review:
I do enjoy Fractured Fairy Tales. I like most of what the author did with the story of Snow White. However I found it too preachy for my taste and there were, surprisingly, a lot of scripture references that I didn’t feel really added to the story. Still it is a fun romance.
