The Captive Maiden (Fairy Tale Romance, #4)

by Melanie Dickerson

Happily Ever After...Or Happily Nevermore?

Gisela's childhood was filled with laughter and visits from nobles such as the duke and his young son. But since her father's death, each day has been filled with nothing but servitude to her stepmother. So when Gisela meets the duke's son, Valten—the boy she has daydreamed about for years—and learns he is throwing a ball, she vows to attend, even if it's only for a taste of a life she'll never have. To her surprise, she catches Valten's eye. Though he is rough around the edges, Gisela finds Valten has completely captured her heart. But other forces are bent on keeping the two from falling further in love, putting Gisela in more danger than she ever imagined.

I wanted a nice, happy Cinderella retelling, and for awhile it was. But then came all the Jesus junk. Sorry for being the agnostic in the room, but I really dislike all the religion stuff. Otherwise, it was a perfectly nice book.
