To Love a Grimm - (Fairy Tale Hearts) by Christina Farley (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A forbidden fantasy romance wrapped in curses, courtly glamour, and dangerous fairy-tale magic, where only love can rewrite the story.

The prince of my heart, the hunter of my soul.

When Jacob Grimm's beloved brother, Wilhelm, falls gravely ill, Jacob will do anything to save him-even strike a blood bargain with a cunning Enchantress. In exchange, the brothers become her Hunters, cursed to serve her dark will. Their task sends them on a quest to a kingdom where villagers whisper of men turning to wolves, nixies lurking in ponds, and the young disappearing into the Black Forest, trailing after the tune of a piper.

But upon arrival, Jacob realizes there are evil forces at work, more powerful than the brothers have encountered. Seeking help, Jacob joins an alliance with a nobleman's daughter, the smart and beautiful Ella von Maier. Yet, she too holds dark secrets, and she'll do anything to keep them hidden.

Swept into a world of court glamor and alluring magic, Jacob and Ella's lives are inextricably intertwined as they work to save the kingdom and break his curse. But as truths begin to unfold, Ella wonders if she can trust this handsome stranger, or if he's, in fact, her enemy.

As friendship blooms into love, their cursed fates force them to make impossible choices where fairy tales and love come at a treacherous cost.

To Love a Grimm is a standalone, Cinderella romantasy. If you crave forbidden swoony romance, star-crossed lovers, protective heroes with hidden scars, and a heroine who must choose between duty and her heart, you'll be enchanted by this thrilling tale that ends in a happily ever after.

Perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber, Elise Kova, Sylvia Mercedes, and Brigid Kemmerer.
