Faraway Castle book 3
by J.M. Stengl
| -From Goodreads- Power-hungry princes are Rosa's greatest dread. Deep within the gardens of Faraway Castle sleeps a secret Rosa the gardener has sworn to protect with her life--the legendary princess Zafira. For three years she has hidden the princess almost in plain sight. But two nosy princes threaten to undo the work of a century. When asked to take his sister's old job as Faraway Castle's Magical-Creature Controller, Prince Briar leaps at the chance to disguise himself as a commoner, earn a place in the magical world, and be trained by the mysterious Gamekeeper. Nothing works out the way he'd expected, and he is far too busy working to gain Rosa's trust to bother about uncovering her secrets. Until dashing Prince Javier of Evora pursues Rosa . . . and Briar suspects the rival prince of dark motives. Can Rosa and Briar learn to trust each other soon enough to prevent a magical disaster? Will the kiss of a prince really awaken true love? ASIN: B07JN5RS71 Can he see beyond her secrets? Can she see past his? |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

So, I was in the mood for a fantasy story, which is odd for me since fantasy is not my preferred genre, and I had The Rose And The Briar was on my Kindle. While I've not read any of J.M. Stengl's fantasy books, I have read some of her historical romance novellas in the past. I was in for a pleasant surprise and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this delightful fairytale.
Fun and whimsical, The Rose And The Briar is sweet and imaginative retelling of Sleeping Beauty. This story has all of the magic and the enchantingly quirky characters of an Emily Rodda or Gail Carson Levine novel. The story had a YA feel but I was able to get right into the story even as an adult.
I really enjoyed this story and will definitely be digging into my trusty Kindle and reading more of J.M. Stengl's lovely fairytales at Faraway Castle...
