I’m not reading these books for the plot, but rather for the characters and the fun way the author retells the familiar tale. Because of this, I had to read The Captain and Miss Winter.

The Captain and Miss Winter is based on the story of Snow White and Rose Red, as recorded by the Brothers Grimm. With winter drawing to a close, Caspar must find the missing gold, but his quest to right the wrongs of war has changed. The Englishman who arrives at Scarlett’s door, looking more like a bear than a captain of the British army, reminds her of all she lost to the war. The cold winter months have taken their toll on Scarlett’s spirits and her grandmother’s health. Her father’s mistakes led to their exile from England and their banishment into the forest. Scarlett, living with her sister and grandmother, belongs nowhere. In his quest, Caspar stumbles across a hidden cottage in the woods, and a different sort of treasure altogether. A treasure lies hidden in the heart of the forest, stolen gold that would save the lives of many who lost everything during the war. The end of the Napoleonic wars comes as a relief to Caspar Graysmark, but before he can settle into the comfortable life of an English lord he has a duty to the people of France. A captain seeking to repair the past and the daughter of a fallen gentleman, searching for a treasure that will change their lives forever.
