To have boy serve in the place of a girl in the Cinderella story was fun to read. When his grandfather came and rescued him. then the characters meet and fall in love. Neither of them have an easy life.

A little boy of seven, Ryan Simms watched the wedding of his father, Lord Victor Simms, the second son of the Duke of Ashthrone, and Lady Penelope Everly. He was so happy that he would at last have a whole family, always there for him, loving him, hugging him. He missed his deceased mother, but the new family he would have would bring joy.

When Ryan’s father died, he was moved to the attic while Delilah took over his room. Instead of being sent to Eton for his education, his step-mother hired a tutor to save the money for her daughters. He would not have even had that much, except that his grandfather asked for quarterly progress reports or funds would not be sent. Lady Penelope had dismissed almost all of the servants as a way to keep more money for herself and her daughters and instead treated Ryan as their personal slave. She even tried to make him be their cook, but he was horrible at the task and did not have to do that any further. If he gave her trouble, she would lash him with her favorite whip until he obeyed. He couldn’t wait until he received his tiny inheritance and could have her move out. Living with his step-mother and step-sisters, he resolved that he would never love – emotions led to heartache and he had no use for them.

One day his grandfather, Duke of Ashthrone, unexpectedly arrived. He asked for a servant to assist him, but Lady Penelope quickly said Ryan could assist – because there were no servants except the driver and cook! Since the Duke always looked down on those of lower stations, Ryan was afraid he might think less of him since he was their only servant. The Duke said he would be taking Ryan with him to begin learning the responsibilities of a Duke since Ryan’s older brother, the Marquess of Cinderbury, did not have a son and his wife could not have more children. Ryan had only a small chest of belongings, so he was already packed and ready to leave. No woman would ever have power over him again. Even his grandfather’s rescuing him had not been out of love, but because Ryan was his heir and needed to be properly trained.

Lady Annalise Palmer rode in the carriage with her brother, Marrok, the Marquess of Sheffield. Her stepsister, Estella, was recently married and she was going to visit at Estella’s request. Her father, the Duke of Wolfton, was not a good man, was cruel, and had tried to make sure Estella would remain miserable the rest of her life. Annalise arrived to find Estella fencing with a pregnant Countess Hannah, laughing and having fun. Hannah went to rest and Estella showed her stepsister to her room to nap. They would talk later.

Ryan Simms, the Marquess of Cinderbury, stared at Manchester Castle. It had been a long ride from London, but he wanted to check on his cousin. Her stepfather, the Duke of Wolfton, was a very cruel man, even worse than his stepmother. Ryan had invested his small inheritance that his stepmother could not take and built a fortune in the shipping industry. As he dismounted at the front door, a lovely woman stepped out and he was surprised to learn she was the stepsister of Estella. She knew his grandfather and agreed with his assessment of him.

When Estella was called from the garden by her husband, Annalise no longer had to force her smile so Estella wouldn’t know how sad she was to think of returning home. She hadn’t seen Ryan in the garden, and he stopped to ask why she was sad. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and she knew he was holding sorrow of his own inside. Their conversation turned to Estella. Both of them cared very much for her. But both would be leaving soon. They would not have time to get to know each other better, as Annalise would have loved to do. As Ryan made his goodbyes to Estella, she asked if he would do her a favor and call on Annalise to make sure she is okay. Her father could be cruel and Marrok could not step in or he would be cut off from any funds. Reluctantly, he agreed to offer his support if she needed him. When Estella’s husband entered the room, he said goodbye again, envious of the love he saw between them. But he was too broken to hope for that. Would future visits with Annalise change his opinion? Could the two of them heal each other and develop love and trust they both deserved?

I loved this book! The main characters were broken, and yet the part that made them so wonderful survived. It’s a very uplifting story. The story line was paced well, and the reader was easily able to care about them. This is definitely a book you won’t want to miss.

This was a perfectly lovely story. I could not get enough. It is definitely a keeper. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.

It is nice to take a break away from all the paranormal and sci-fi romances that I love reading and indulge in this regency delight. It’s sweet and romantic with a few hateful characters but Annalise and Ryan more than made up for the shortcomings of some of their relatives. I enjoyed reading this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this reverse Cinderella.

Ryan’s father married Lady Penelope, a woman with two mean daughters.
He was their unpaid servant after his father passed.

He’s finally taken by his grandfather to eventually be the Marquess of Cinderbury.

Lady Annalise Palmer meets Ryan while visiting Estella.
Estella is his cousin. Annalise is her stepsister. Ryan doesn’t trust beauty (smart man).

Family drama.
Sweet and some spice.
