Lady Gillian Montmorency is determined to win Prince Fidelio’s heart, but her plans are crashing around her ears. First, Fidelio’s older cousin with a beard like a bird’s nest proposes to her. Next, intimidating Prince Max insists she will be his next trophy.
But the worst of all, her parents reveal a financial scandal. To pay off her father’s debt, Gillian must agree to work one year as companion to an old lady at some remote and ramshackle villa.
Fine. She’ll go. But she doesn’t have to like it.
Something strange is going on at Lady Beneventi’s villa. Ghostly people appear, doors vanish, statues come to life . . . and the old lady herself despises Gillian. With the help of a handsome but hostile construction worker, can Gillian solve the mystery of the wishes and return to her proper place in high society? Can she finally snare a prince to marry?
Or might love play a part in changing her plans?
A King Thrushbeard Romance
Guys!!! I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this story! I have not been a fan of Gillian…not at all! And the King Thrushbeard story was one I wasn’t super familiar with…so of course I had to find it so I could read it lol.
I also wasn’t sure if I’d honestly like the story.
I can say it played out way better than I thought it would! Gillian was a just as bratty at the start as she was in earlier books.
But than things started happening and once she started letting go and acting less snobby she was actually likeable.
You don’t need to know the fairy tale to understand the gist of it all…actually reading the tale might give away a few spoilers.
While I highly recommend reading all the books in the series you don’t need to have read them all to read any of them(if that makes sense). do you like fairy tale retellings? have you read any by J.M. Stengl?
