The Indentured Queen

Crowns & Courtships Series, Book 4

By: Carol Moncado

Narrated by: Sarah Zimmerman

King Benjamin is about to have control of his own home for the first time in his life. By evicting his uncle, he can finally become the ruler he was meant to be.

Finally live up to the legacy handed down to him, beginning with King Alfred the First, and embodied in his own father, King Alfred the Second.

But revenge is a dish best served cold - or at least lukewarm - and his uncle's revenge comes just two days later when a press release announces Benjamin's engagement.

To a modern-day scullery maid.

Katrin Jonsson took over her mother's debt to the Eyjanian royal family as soon as she turned 18. Five years down. Only 10 - or more - to go.

Until the king offers her a way out.

Marry him, in name only, for a year, then disappear. Her indenture will be paid off - and, more importantly, her mother and brother will be taken care of for life.

The wedding won't change anything about her life because no one will know the truth of their arrangement.

A disconcerting incident softens Katrin's heart toward the usually impassive king. But, even as she begins to fall for the man he could become, she wonders if she'll ever be more than The Indentured Queen?

Excellent conclusion to this series

Katrin and Benjamin’s story was intriguing because of the modern indentured servant premise.
Benjamin is not the most endearing of heroes, but that is obviously intentional and his backstory makes this compelling. My complaint - I wish he’d shaved his beard!
Katrin on the other hand is delightful! I love how she continues to work as a scullery maid despite being the queen. I also love her family and musical talent/love of the pia

love of my favorites

I read the book and loved it so I had to repeat!!! this time I chose audible to listen while I worked and it makes me fall in love with the story all over again!! five stars is not enough!! All of Carol's books are fabulous, clean and notably graceful and endearing citing biblical references!! I love it!!!

SUCH A WONDERFUL STORY

FINALLY!!! A clean love story. This was such a great listen. The Narrator did a great job as well. I can't wait to listen to the next one... when it comes out that is.
