Carwyn is Snow White and Gareth is the big, strong huntsman. :) The Fairest was a very sweet fairy tale, but with no magic. I enjoyed reading it.

This is a delightful reimagining of the Snow White fairy tale minus the dwarves and without a wicked stepmother in sight.
Instead, it looks at how two children, one the Crown Prince, one the son of the Queen's Chamberlain, drifted apart once their mothers died and they grew older.
Gareth, now the Royal Huntsman, is a giant of a man, quiet and gentle, he avoids the castle so he doesn't have to see Carwyn and avoid hurting his bruised heart. For his part, Carwyn spends most of the time wishing he wasn't Prince and trying to avoid running away from his responsibilities.
Unfortunately, events conspire for Carwyn to do just that and it's left to Gareth to find him and keep him safe.
With a virgin prince, two young men who get too word shy to admit their feelings, a snow storm and a cabin with only one bed, this proved to be the perfect New Year's treat!
