    This book takes place in England in 1388, a very different time, woman were to be owned and not really people, according to some. Two young sisters, one eighteen and the other twelve, are being raised by their aunt and uncle, or as you will soon see paying their way. The guardians now want more money to marry them both off, yes, both!

    So the oldest decides to set off disguised as "Jack", can she pull it off? Wow what an adventure she is about to find and have, but can she return in time to save her sister?

    I so enjoyed this story, could it be based on fact? Probably, a different time, but for this time it reads a bit like a fairy tale!

    I loved the ending of this read!

    I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.

    I was given an e copy of this book, to give my honest opinion, the following is my honest opinion.

    I really enjoy Melanie Dickerson's books, and this one is no different. This beautiful heart warming story of the love between Louisa and her 12 year old sister who live in England during the middle ages. Louisa is determined to do whatever it takes to protect her sister, even if she has to face a "Giant".

    I absolutely loved this book. It is inspirational and encouraging. I highly recommend this book.

    I enjoyed this adventurous tale of Louisa, a young woman on a quest for treasure to provide independence and care for her younger sister, and Sir Charles of Dericott, one of King Richard's noble knights. He is in the right place at the right time to provide escort for Louisa. It's 1388, a time when orphans like Louisa and Margaret are at the mercy of their guardian uncle and aunt who try to marry them off for the highest price. It was a fun book to read.

    A very loose retelling of Jack & the Beanstalk, it another entertaining story by Melanie Dickerson. Not wanting to be married off to a man of her uncle's choosing, and to protect her sister Margaret, Louise disguses herself as a boy and runs away to find fabled Viking treasure. A day after starting out she meets up with Sir Charles, who, seeing through the disguise, decides to go along as protection on the quest for treasure. At different points along the journey (and for various lengths of time), they are joined by various people who treat Louise differently, depending on their overall attitude of women. It's a sweet romance.

    I received an ARC copy of the book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

    In her latest Medieval Dericott Tale, Melanie Dickerson weaves a creative, romantic retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. Lady of Disguise is a sweet hidden identity romance with a loving sister, handsome knight, treasure hunt, a giant, and plenty of adventure. As with all of Melanie Dickerson*s books, I enjoyed her clever twists on beloved fairytales and this book is no exception. It*s a sweet story of learning to trust in God and others while forging your own path and finding love along the way.

    After Louisa*s parents died, she and her younger sister are forced to live with their ambitious aunt and uncle determined to find wealthy matches for the girls in order to increase their own standing. The gentleman they parade before the girls are often much older and unsavory. Determined to protect her sister and save them both from unwanted marriages, Louisa runs away seeking an ancient treasure guarded by a giant. She disguises herself as a boy and goes by the name of *Jack.* When she meets the handsome knight, Sir Charles on her journey, he joins her quest desiring to protect *Jack* who he clearly recognizes is a girl from the dangers that lie ahead. Along the way, they meet new friends, fierce foes, and even the fabled giant.

    This was such a sweet story with lots of romance, action, and faith. I loved all the nods to Jack and the Beanstalk. Like Jack, Louisa is a bit naive in her quest to find the giant*s treasure. I loved the way Sir Charles took her under his wing and how their romance grew. Charles is recovering from a bitter betrayal and is not looking for a romantic relationship, but Louisa captures his heart and brings out his protectiveness. I loved how they worked together and helped not only each other but new friends in their quest. Their meeting with the giant offered a heartwarming twist.

    Definitely recommend this cute YA Medieval romance to those 14 and up and to anyone who enjoys fairytale retellings. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided.
