The Beautiful Pretender
by Melanie Dickerson
Ordered by the king to marry, the Margrave of Thornbeck reluctantly invites ten noblemen's daughters to his castle to choose from. Avelina, a maidservant, is tasked with taking the place of Lady Dorothea of Plimmwald. She must not be found out or chosen as Lord Thornbeck's bride for fear of dire consequences.
Avelina is a courageous, yet naïve, young lady who's devoted to her family and hopeful to one day find her true love. Reinhart's a gruff and fierce man hiding a heart of gold.
Take a dash of Beauty and the Beast, a sprinkling of the Princess and the Pea and add Melanie Dickerson's amazing talent and you've got another wonderful medieval fairytale retelling from this amazing author!
It was nice to see what Odette and Jorgen from the first book in this series, The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest, were up to. And while The Beautiful Pretender is book two in this series, I don't think you have to read the first one to enjoy this one. I think it stands alone quite well.
I highly recommend and can't wait to read whatever comes next from Dickerson!
