I received a free copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoy a good fairy tale retelling and this was definitely a good one. I wasn't too sure where this story was going to go when I started it, but I was curious enough to give it a chance because of the fairy tale aspect the title mentions. I was happy to find it really picked up before too long. Alienor is sweet, young, and a bit naive, without it being grating because she is also brave and probably a bit headstrong. Phillippe, I wouldn't say is a cruel husband, but definitely not a match for Alienor... queue Thomas and the ensuing story. This book actually has elements of more than one fairy tale and I thought they were dealt with in a very interesting and fresh way. I will definitely be looking in to the rest of the series!

A well-written tale of fierce women overcoming daunting situations. I truly enjoyed the burgeoning partnership between Alienor and Thomas. Sometimes it’s difficult to read action, so the climax seemed a bit abrupt. However, the overall story was captivating and a pleasure to see to its conclusion. I look forward to the next in the series.

This was described as a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Hmm. Nobody was "sleeping" until the last quarter of the book. It has all the requisites for a fairytale romance: princess in need, loyal ladies-in-waiting, king, sworn knights, bad sorceress, battles, horse, the fate of kingdoms, etc. It was a nice story. Apparently, there are other books in this series that use different fairytales as the underlying theme. This story was good enough that I may seek out another in the series.

This just wasn't my cup of tea. I liked the description of the book, but when I started reading, it was like I was slogging along. I gave up.

The premise sounded quite interesting, but I didn't enjoy the execution as much as I thought that I would. So unfortunately this one is a pass from me, but I hope to see other things from the author in the future.

I wish that this book had made the top of the to-read list, however it wasn't the case. While entertaining, Enchanting the King wasn't a 'must read', but 'read-when-you-get-a-chance'. If you do get a chance to read it, it's a quick, briefly entertaining read.

I enjoyed this, but found it to be too adult to review for my mostly teen audience. I'm sorry! I did recommend it to some adult fantasy reviewers, though!
