Thanks to the #Bookstagram world, I’ve discovered many new authors lately! One of those is Heidi Kimball, who writes sweet/clean Regency Romances. When she posted that she was offering her book Maiden in the Tower for FREE earlier this month, I jumped at the chance to download it and try out her writing.
Check out the official blurb below:

He’s the first man she’s ever met. She’s the exact opposite of the woman he’s supposed to marry.
Lisette Hunt has been hidden away her entire life, with nothing but a large window up in the cottage turret to give her a glimpse of the outside world. Until Gerry Worthington stumbles into her garden in search of his runaway dog.
As a second son, Gerry has never seen the need to take life too seriously. Less than pleased with his frivolity, his mother orders him to marry a woman of means and banishes him to his family’s small, rundown estate. Unfortunately, innocent and penniless Lisette is the very opposite of what he needs.
But Gerry cannot resist the mystery surrounding Lisette, and soon he can no longer resist Lisette and her endearing peculiarity. As Gerry slowly opens Lisette’s eyes to a larger world, she begins to open her heart to him. However, when Gerry uncovers the truth about who Lisette really is, it may cost them a chance at happiness together.
This was such a fun, quick read–the perfect lighthearted fare for this time of #SocialDistancing. I liked the concept of a fairy tale retold in the Regency era, and since Rapunzel is one of my favorite fairy tales, I was especially interested in how Heidi re-imagined the story. The result was a sweet and clever romantic tale that I couldn’t put down.
4/5 Stars for Maiden in the Tower. I look forward to reading more of Heidi’s work, particularly her latest release, Where the Stars Meet the Sea (the cover is GORGEOUS)!
