Description from the publisher:
A maiden dying for adventure. A prince on a perilous quest. Monsters that must be slain.

Once upon a time…

After losing a battle with a dragon, George is desperate to salvage his reputation. Only he can’t do it alone – he needs an assistant.

Royal tailor Melitta longs for adventure, so when she hears of a job opening for an apprentice hero, she jumps at the chance. Slaying monsters must be more exciting than sewing.

Can the unlikely pair still succeed at their quest – or will they fall for each other instead?

EMBELLISH is the seventh book in the Romance a Medieval Fairytale.  While each stands on its own, there is character interaction that makes it best to read them all and in the order of release.

Yes, I read APPEASE before EMBELLISH.  No, it doesn’t matter to the storyline, but it did make me want to read this story to know the rest of George and Melitta’s coming together. 

I like that neither George nor Melitta is willing to accept the lot that life has given them.  They each could have taken the legacy of their parents and lived comfortable enough lives, but they wanted more…. And that more led them to each other. 

This was one of those stories that I call a soft and comfortable read.  I smiled through most of it, though there were a few points of anxiety and more than a few giggles.

I have a few in this series to backlist read and I’m looking forward to reading more in the future.  I love these fairytales retold!
