“The third lost princess. The final key to the treasure. And a battle for the throne.
Growing up deep in the forest as a poor charcoal burner’s daughter, Emmeline has always known her identity as a princess of Mercia, and she lives in fear of being caught and killed. When her adopted father returns from town with news regarding the imminence of war, Emmeline has no wish to join the rebellion against King Ethelwulf.
Prince Ethelrex, the strongest warrior in the land, has done everything he can to prove his loyalty to his father, including searching for the last lost princess. When Ethelrex finally captures Emmeline, the king commands his son to marry the princess in order to win the support of the people and undermine the rebellion.
Forced into marriage, Emmeline has one goal—to escape. But Ethelrex takes his marriage vows seriously, including his promise to love and cherish his wife, and has no intention of letting Emmeline get away. As the battle for the throne rages, will the prince be able to win the battle for Emmeline’s heart?”

My Review:
This final book in this “fairytale” series is everything the ending to a series like this should be. The “Lost Princesses” are finally together, but there was a twist to this reunion that I wasn’t quite expecting that ramped up the anticipation a little bit. Each of the princesses has her chance to show courage and compassion in her own special way.
This book is focused on Emmeline. She has some tough choices to make as far as her loyalties are concerned, and her path to romance and happily-ever-after turns into a road with deep crevasses. She’s the princess who fears she lacks courage, yet finds herself needing to find a way to save both her family and the kingdom. There’s quite a suspenseful scene in this final chapters that had my complete attention until the end. I also loved the fact that we got to meet up again with Lance and Felicia from the very first book, “Always”, and find out the rest of their story.
You could read this book on your own and enjoy it, but I’d recommend reading the books in order. You’ll enjoy the adventure and sweet, clean romance.
