Rose Waring never expected to find herself working as a lady's maid. As a gentleman's daughter she had anticipated marriage and a family of her own, but that was before her father gambled away their funds and she wound up working for her best friend from finishing school. Roman Spencer, Viscount Darlington, is heir to a rich earldom and known for being staid and gentlemanly, never setting a toe out of line. But his attraction to his friend's lovely maid at a Christmas house party is far from appropriate. Even as their attraction blossoms into love, Rome and Rose are still bound by the societal restrictions separating them, unless they're strong enough to choose their love over everything else.There two had a lot going against them, but their biggest problem was Rose's lack of confidence and poor Roman did quite a bit of typical male bumbling. It took these two forever to get on the same page and get out of one another's way, but they were a charming couple and I was rooting for them the entire time. I especially enjoyed the other characters quietly trying to push them together and Roman's mother, Josephine, especially stole the show for me. This was a lovely and enjoyable read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
