About the Book
What could come between a nanny and an earl in a fairy-tale love story? A reality check—in an endearing and witty romance by Sariah Wilson, the bestselling author of Roommaid.
With her sister’s medical bills mounting, Diana Parker can’t say no to a high-paying opportunity like this: accompany a wealthy couple to Aspen and nanny their precocious five-year-old son for three months. Necessary qualifications? She must know how to ski and teach math, speak fluent French, excel at social graces, and hold a master’s degree in childhood development. Who’ll be the wiser that Diana’s only skill is packing for Colorado?
So far, so good—having a con woman for a mother has turned out to be a benefit, even if Diana has complicated feelings about telling lies. But she’s doing this for her sister. And the perks—like a ticket to a lavish charity fundraiser, a new gown, and a Prince Charming–adjacent earl named Griffin Windsor—are pretty irresistible. Diana can’t deny the Cinderella vibe.
Wary of gold diggers and scandal, England’s most eligible bachelor is nevertheless falling for Diana, and sweeping the not-quite princess off her feet.
The warmer their relationship becomes, the slipperier the slopes are for Diana. Sooner or later, she’ll have to come clean. When that happens, does an honest-to-goodness happy ending stand a chance?
My Review
The word that kept popping into my head while reading this one – charming. I enjoyed that Diana didn’t have a typical backstory – her mother being in prison as one of the most notorious con women made for an interesting perspective, and while she made some shifty decisions, it was clear they were done with good intentions. While it did veer on the predictable side with her meeting an earl within days of arriving in Aspen for a nannying gig, it was still fun to watch their romance play out. I also really adored the children in this book, which I can’t say happens often, but especially Milo’s one liners were too good. There were a few instances that I felt certain plot points were glossed over that I would have enjoyed them being expanded on, but for the most part I was able to just sit back, relax and escape to a very different world than my own. This is a feel good romance that will have wondering if perhaps your Prince Charming is just around the corner …
