Ratings and reviews

4.25 Stars Alexander Ashley has decided women of the ton are more interested in status than love. His game is seduction and nothing more and only once. His feelings regarding aristocratic ladies leads to an outlandish idea—prove a servant can be taught to be as ladylike as those born to it. And the beautiful Inis Fitzgerald might be just the woman for his plan. Inis Fitzgerald niece of a duke escaped her home in Dublin to avoid an arranged marriage and is now in London under the name Inis O’Brien working for Alex. She plays along with his little game, pretending she knows nothing about being a lady as long as he buys her passage to America for her participation. I really enjoyed this book & loved Alex & Inis they were attracted to each other from their first meeting but Alex didn’t believe in seducing his servants. The story flowed very well & there was also someone intent on having Alex to herself, add two other rakes & a scorned girlfriend plus romance & it was set to be a five star read right up to the last five percent when the ending was rushed & things resolved too quickly. However I look forward to reading more from the author as secondary characters were left begging for their stories. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

This story was slow and lacking in passion. When the romance part came it felt awkward and shallow. Both main characters felt flat in personal development and in their relationship with one another.

A very entertaining book. Not your every day romance, but certainly riveting with quite a unique story line.
