Besotted is the final book in Jody Hedlund's The Fairest Maidens series. Queen Aurora has been hidden deep in the forests of Mercia in an effort to keep her safe. One day she is discovered by a woodcutter named Krysten. Aurora has no idea, but Krysten is actually the son of King Christian and he is in Mercia as a part of his royal testing. Kresten's focus must be on the thought Deny Thyself!
Before you know it, Aurora and Krysten are falling in love with each other. Unfortunately, they both have something else to be moving toward: Aurora on officially becoming the Queen of Mercia and Kresten on completing his testing to potentially take over as King of Scania!
By the end of this tale, you will get a taste of the age-old story of Sleeping Beauty. The twist in this re-telling is that Krysten is the individual who ends up falling into a deep sleep. Hang on until the final pages to see what will bring Krysten back to the land of the living!
I received a copy of this book from the author, in exchange for my honest review.
