I really enjoyed reading this clean wholesome regency romance, the Cinderella feel was very good and I found myself rooting for J’non throughout. Very well written story.

This was just a wonderful and excellent read. Can’t say that I’ve read anything by Paulett Golden but this being my first will not be my last. This story was filled with interesting characters and an unconventional take on HR types of novels.
There is J’non Butler who is the lady’s maid to a brat of a woman, Phoebe Whittington. As they are on a journey, she admits that she will not be marrying her intended…especially one she has never seen. Her intent is to run off an marry the man she really loves and leaves J’non to continue on and marry the marquess in her stead.
Then there is Trevor Gaines, Marquess of Pickering who needs money to make his now inherited estate flourish again….and Phoebe…oh no, J’non is his ticket to wealth. When J’non arrives, she is not given the change to explain anything as the Marquess has already planned the wedding as he considers this a business arrangement and not a true marriage.
I simply enjoyed everything about this story. The secrets coming to life on the pages and what seemed a disaster ending in love. A well-written story with very likeable characters and at times had my heart tugging…oh the teary moments. It is not very often I come across a clean historical romance that engages me from beginning to end. This was definitely one. Excellent book and I recommend the read.
