Publisher's summary

After inheriting his title from his brother, the margrave has two weeks to find a noble bride. What will happen when he learns he has fallen for a lovely servant girl in disguise?

The Margrave of Thornbeck has to find a bride - fast. He invites 10 noble-born ladies who meet the king's approval to be his guests at Thornbeck Castle for two weeks - a time to test these ladies and reveal their true characters.

Avelina has only two instructions: keep her true identity a secret and make sure the margrave doesn't select her as his bride. Since the latter seems unlikely, she concentrates on not getting caught. No one must know she is merely a maidservant sent by the Earl of Plimmwald to stand in for his daughter, Dorothea.

Despite Avelina's best attempts at diverting attention from herself, the margrave has taken notice. And try as she might, she can't deny her own growing feelings. But something else is afoot in the castle. Something sinister that could have far worse - far deadlier - consequences.

Great for teenage girls

The story was very predictable and something I would’ve enjoyed when I was 13 years old now that I’m 69, not so much.

The Beautiful Pretender

I thought it was really good. It was definitely clean-cut, sweet story. I think it would be perfect for young adults.
I hope to listen to more of this authors books

Romantic historical fiction

I love historical fiction and this book was lovely! It had a good story line and the reading of the book really brought the settings to life. It being a romantic under theme was a plus.this was not your typical romance either.

Good Listen

Narrator was fine for the most part, sometimes the accent took you out if the story. Good easy listen overall.

An enjoyable listen

Though I don’t think everything was historically accurate this was a lovely, clean, enjoyable tale with enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. Worth a listen if you enjoy romantic fairy tales.
