Fairest of Heart

About the Book Fairest of Heart

Beauty has been nothing but a curse to Penelope Snow. When she becomes a personal maid for a famous actress whose troupe is leaving Chicago to tour the West, she hides her figure beneath shapeless dresses and keeps her head down. But she still manages to attract the wrong attention, leaving her prospects in tatters–and her jealous mistress plotting her demise.

After his brother lost his life over a woman, Texas ranger Titus Kingsley has learned to expect the worst from women and is rarely disappointed. So when a young woman found in suspicious circumstances takes up residence with the seven old drovers living at his grandfather’s ranch, Titus is determined to keep a close eye on her.

With a promotion hanging in the balance, Titus is assigned to investigate a robbery case tied to Penelope’s acting troupe. The evidence points to her guilt, but Titus’s heart divines a different truth–one that might just get Penelope killed.

An enchanting Western take on the classic Snow White fairy tale, Fairest of Heart will sweep you away from once upon a time to happily ever after.

My Thoughts on Fairest of Heart 

Such a fun retelling of a classic fairy tale going on here! It’s Snow White come back to life in a Western setting and you’ll love it!  I loved this one.  A sweet girl with a hard life.  She has to disguise herself so that she looks frumpy and fat.  But when she’s found out she’s left for dead.

Only.  Maybe she’s got an ace up her sleeve, or rather in her corset. 

Sorry, can’t explain that too much.   You’ll understand when you read the book.  And yes you’re going to want to read the book.  It is just the best.  It reads quickly.  The characters are unique and wonderful.  And I could not put it down. 

Penny is our Snow White.  Titus, a Texas Ranger, is our Prince Charming.  And Penny’s old boss who ordered her killed is of course our Wicked Witch.  Add in the 7 old codgers that live at the ranch and it’s the makings of the fairy tale but it’s also so much more unique in its own right.  

If you’re looking for a wonderful historical fiction novel then this is going to be it for you.  I truly could not stop reading it.  It was wonderful.  The writing was captivating.  The characters are so fun and flawed yet you just can’t leave them anyway.  Oh, and the plot moved on quickly.  I’d definitely read this one again.
