Description from the publisher:
An unlikely duo. A wicked witch. Whatever it takes to find their way home.
Once upon a time…

Rhona is certain her stepmother wants to kill her and her sisters, and she’ll stop at nothing to do it. Leaving them in the woods alone, drugging their food and drink…is nothing safe?
Bitter at his brother’s betrothal, Grieve is banished to Rum Island as a squire to Rhona’s father. Grieve thought he had enough trouble with Rhona’s stepmother and the threat of war with Alba, until a witch takes Grieve and Rhona prisoner.

Can Rhona and Grieve survive long enough to find their happily ever after?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RETURN is the eleventh book in the Romance a Medieval Fairytale series.  While they do each stand on their own, there is a lot of overlap.  You will definitely want to have read BLOW either before or after this one.

We were teased in BLOW about Rhona and Grieve’s relationship.  Now we get to find out the rest of the story.  I loved how the two stories were entwined.

I don’t think I have ever held my breath so much while reading a fairytale!  It was intelligently played out and a fantastic twist on the children’s version of Hansel and Gretel with which we are all so familiar.

I am loving this series so far and looking forward to many more from Ms. Carlton!
