Sequel to My Fair Maiden
Beautiful maiden, Gwen, thought her life would improve vastly
after narrowly escaping being a virgin sacrifice and leaving her home village
for pastures new. Unfortunately, when she arrives in Fairhaven, she finds the
village stinks and it’s not down to the rather dubious mutton stew being served.
Something is seriously amiss.
Handsome swordsman, Bodhi, as always, is looking for the next
wench to add another notch to her bedpost. She has the pick when she ends up in
Fairhaven.
After the tussle with the ogre and the way they’d parted,
neither Gwen or Bodhi expected to meet again. But, here they are, trapped in the
village of Fairhaven, with a killer at large.
Fairhaven is on a lockdown. The villagers are afraid. The
guards are corrupt, who can be trusted? Then to top it all, the unthinkable
occurs, Bodhi is arrested for murder. Who will help her prove her innocence? Is
she innocent? Is this the end for Bodhi?
I loved Del Robertson’s My Fair Maiden and was hoping that
there would be a sequel. This book is a pure delight to read. It’s a page turner
from the first page through to the last page. The book will standalone, but I
strongly advise reading My Fair Maiden first. Why miss out on another great
book? Plus, it’s nice to get the background on Gwen and Bodhi and hear of their
past adventures.
This is a true fairy tale read for adults and lovers of lesfic
and it’s fast paced, with wonderfully scenic descriptions. The characters are
all multidimensional and interact well together. There is a real laugh out loud
humor throughout and some nicely placed romantic actions of a hot nature, just
for good measure. We find the usual element of mystery and intrigue with mythical
creatures that made the fairy tales of yesteryear unforgettable, as are these
two books.
I’m hoping that we will see Gwen and Bodhi back again in
another adventure soon.
For readers wanting the print version, Affinity have included
both books in one volume. The ebooks are available to buy separately.
