I received this book for free from a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for an honest review.

Ana Maria is a lady who grew up as a servant in her own home. While this sounds like the beginning of a Cinderella tale, in fact Ana Maria works hard to save herself and while she has a lot of people rooting for her, she refuses to allow them to fix her problems or decide for her what she needs. (Cont. ⬇️)

CoffeeK8 She is however, in love with her brother‘s friend, Nash. Nash is a broken Duke, his father is abusive and while he loves Ana Marie he doesn‘t know how to identify or speak about his feelings and he‘s worried he might accidentally hurt her because he‘s too much like his father. Refreshingly, they both work on themselves and grow in order to get to their happily ever after. 3y

I really enjoyed this historical romance. Both Nash and Ana Maria were interesting characters with atypical backgrounds. The romance between them seemed a bit stilted, but Nash‘s history of abuse may have made that purposeful. There wasn‘t any major angst, but there were different events - fabric shopping for example, that made this book both fun and fulfilling.
