This week I'm featuring Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind by Elisabeth Aimee Brown. It releases today and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC. It was such a fun read!
If anyone else had been her fairy godmother, Lady Agatha’s birthday party would have gone swimmingly.
It really wasn’t Agatha’s fault that she insulted all those guests. After preparing for years to receive a select list of suitors for her charming, fairy-blessed hand, the last thing she wanted to do was alienate the lot of them … but her godmother’s final gift was, well, difficult to control. Now her father doesn’t care that she didn’t mean to call the visiting foreign prince a pathetic little fungus—the damage has been done.
Prince Limplemoyne would’ve been more offended if he was actually attending the party to court Agatha, but that’s not what brought him to these backwoods, fairy-infested mountains. He just wants to find a godmother powerful enough to free him from the royal life he never asked for. But when a mischievous fairy answers his plea in an unexpected way, he finds himself suddenly stuck with the beautiful, sharp-tongued Lady Agatha. Fairies can’t help them get out of this unwanted alliance—they’ll have to stop bickering long enough to figure it out on their own.

Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind is a no-spice, standalone reimagining of King Thrushbeard, perfect for readers who like both whimsy and comedy in their mutually-annoyed-strangers-to-lovers romance.

"If only Melusine hadn't been your fairy godmother," Father says, "then we wouldn't have to worry about it." He stares out the window, glum despite the cheerful dancing of the late-spring leaves outside and the gentle breeze that carries in the scent of apple blossoms and honeysuckle.

This journey would probably be more pleasant if we could converse more, but I'm afraid of what I'll say if I open my mouth too often.
