Hello, everyone! I’m finally back. 🤭😉
How are you all? How are you enjoying the beginning of fall—October already! ☺️—and how’s your weather? 💜 It’s getting cooler here, and today was almost COLD. 👀🥰 I’m eating it up, honestly. 🤭
Well, I’ve got another review for you all today, a fun little adventure perfect for fairytale lovers to cozy up with as the weather gets—only increasingly—chilly. 🥰
A Noble Purpose by Laurie Lucking
To help her miserable sister, Princess Liesel must survive the elements, danger…and her grumpy guard.
Princess Liesel’s older sister, Verena, hasn’t smiled in years. Desperate to improve her low spirits, the king declares that the man who can make Verena laugh will earn her hand in marriage.
But his plan seems doomed to failure from the start. Each unsuccessful attempt only makes Verena more despondent, and a set of mysterious masked suitors raises suspicions about a plot by an enemy prince. When Liesel discovers her sister still harbors feelings for a guard who was sent away years before, she embarks on a desperate quest to find him, both for the sake of Verena’s future happiness and their kingdom’s safety.
As increasingly dangerous challenges hinder Liesel’s journey, she begins to wonder if they’re more than coincidence. Will she and her travel companions even make it to Verena’s former guard, let alone convince him to return with them?
With each impediment drawing her closer to her own surly knight, more than just her sister’s happily-ever-after may be hanging in the balance.
4✨!
I really enjoyed this one! 🥰 It really has perfect doses of adventure, wonderful romance, and quick humor, all keeping you hooked and enjoying, without making it feel like too much of a commitment for the busy, or TBR-laden. 😉💜
Favorite charries:
Breck ⚔️
Jonas 🤭
Nadette 💕
And, honestly, all the rest of them. 🤷🏼♀️🤭
CWs: very little! 😊 Only what you might expect from a fantasy with swords and fighting involved, and that very minor. A male and female character snuggle under a blanket and fall asleep that way. MFC lies a couple of times, feels guilty.
I can’t wait for more from this series! 🥰 Thank you so much to the author for the ARC! 😊 All opinions are my own. 😉
What books have you all been working through lately? Any that need to be on my beautifully-bursting TBR? 👀
Before you go, here’s another lil commonplace quote that I promised months ago and completely forgot about, heehee 😌:
“A writer only begins a book. A reader finishes it.” —Samuel Johnson
That’s all for now! 🥰 See you soon. 😉🤗
Oh, I love fairytale retellings! I will absolutely be putting this on my list to be read; I'm always on the lookout for more of these!!!
Your prose is cute and lovely as always 😊
Oooh, this book sounds good! I might read it sometime! ☺️
