Cloaked in Beauty

By: Karen Witemeyer

Narrated by: Barbara McCulloh

Trust no one in the shadows of the piney woods …

Letty Hood has spent the last fifteen years of her life hidden away with her grandmother in the backwoods of east Texas to escape the deadly schemes of an uncle who wants her dead. Now, with her twenty-first birthday on the horizon, she is forced to accept the escort of a stranger and return to Houston in secret so she can claim a birthright that will make her one of the wealthiest women in Texas. If she lives long enough to inherit.

Pinkerton agent Philip Carmichael has one duty: get the Radcliffe heiress home alive. Expecting a spoiled girl, Philip is surprised to encounter a woman of rare strength with a kind soul and keen wit. As they journey together, Letty’s resilience wins his admiration, breaking through his hardened cynicism. Yet the threat to her survival grows more menacing with every mile, and Philip fears that keeping Letty out of harm’s way may be just as impossible as keeping her out of his heart.

Charming Mix of Fairy Tales

My favorite part was Rusty. I think the other did a good job reimagining a little red riding hood tail in an interesting and new setting.

Story

Real people and down to earth adventures in the out of doors. Love the wolf.

So enjoyable!

I loved all of the books in this series. The connection to Little Red Riding Hood wasn’t as strong as the other books’ fairytale connection. Nevertheless, it was still such a good story. Great characters, action, humor, and the development of a beautiful, honorable romance. I love the way Karen Witemeyer creates strong, capable heroines who work along side the heroes. She remains one of my favorite authors.

Fun

What a wonderful retelling of Little Red Riding Hood! I loved the fun the author had with names, the many adventures they went on, and the fun little twists that made this story so much more interesting than the original! The romance was clean, the story was written from a Christian perspective, and the ending was perfect!

Superb!

Another wonderful story from the fabulous Karen Witemeyer! I love her fairytales in the old West!
