In the first in Tessa Dare's captivating Castles Ever After series, a mysterious fortress is the setting for an unlikely love . . .

As the daughter of a famed author, Isolde Ophelia Goodnight grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens. She never doubted romance would be in her future, too. The storybooks offered endless possibilities.

And as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. One by one by one.

Ugly duckling turned swan?

Abducted by handsome highwayman?

Rescued from drudgery by charming prince?

No, no, and… Heh.

Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. She’ll settle for a roof over her head. What fairy tales are left over for an impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been kissed?

This one.

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to it on audible! This book follows Izzy, she just lost her father and found out that she owns a castle. 

Ransom is a grumpy, broody, blind man. He is the duke of the castle and when he finds out Izzy is claiming that she owns the castle, he is furious. 

I thought this book was absolutely adorable. I loved the banter between the two main characters and how they started to fall for each other. Go pick it up, you won't regret it!
