My Review:
Cloaked in Beauty is the third installment from Karen Witemeyer's Texas Ever After series. It is a retelling mix of Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood. I loved how the author was able to bring these two tales intertwined into a late nineteenth century Texas western. I found the story between Letty and Philip to be fun and entertaining. There were a few plot twists that kept me engaged that kept me want to keep reading. I loved it all the way to the end.
Cloaked in Beauty deserves a five star rating. I highly recommend it for readers of fairy tale retellings and clean historical romance. As always, I look forward to the next future release from Karen Witemeyer.
I received a paperback copy of Karen Witemeyer's Cloaked in Beauty from the author, but was not required to write a review, nor a positive one. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
