I received a free digital copy from the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest feedback.

In A Stolen Kiss Maria, the princess of Opea, was cursed as a child by the sorceress Gilda. Now, Maria, with the help of her maid Sarah, Sarah's brother and stableboy Derric and her betrothed Humphrey set off on a mission to find Gilda and get the curse reversed This ends up in ad adventure full of secrets to be revealed, magical creatures like centaurs and shapeshifters plus one epic showdown with an evil sorcerer.

This was what it says on the tin - a fluffy, fun, romantic fairytale. Most of the story was fairly predictable but it was easy to read and fun while it lasted. I enjoyed most of the characters who were all generally honest and good people. I liked the bromance between Derric and Humphrey and the fact that Humphrey wasn't a cliche preening poncey Prince (though I did vomit every time he said 'Mumsy') but someone with a good heart and a firly good head on his shoulders. I would say that the writing was certainly not the best I'd ever read and the dialogue did suffer a bit from the 'too much being said all the time' thing which ends up in it sounding very forced and unrealistic in my view. Some of the rules about the magic and the curses were a bit confusing at times for me as well but I did enjoy the threads of magic Derric found and how he could use them and how they responded. But for a debut novel, this was a good one and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a princess/fairytale read.
