As her sister’s medical bills pile up, Diana needs a high-paying job pronto, so when the opportunity arises to accompany a couple to Aspen to be the nanny for their precocious little boy, she doesn’t think twice. Who cares that she is highly UNDERqualified? She’s not happy telling lies but she will do anything for her sister. The perks are amazing and she manages, much like Cinderella, to end up involved not with a Prince, but with an Earl (what the hell is an earl again?!)
England’s most eligible bachelor is wary of gold-diggers but he’s nevertheless falling for Diana. He’s there with his niece incognito but confides in her. Sooner or later she’ll have to be honest and come clean … will this fairy tale have a happy ending or will Diana turn into a pumpkin so to speak?
In this cute Cinderella/My Fair Lady mash-up retelling, you get a sweet, swoony fairy tale. I appreciated that this Cinderella had a “shady past” but the earl is right out of a Disney movie. You add two adorable little kids and you get as Hallmark-y as can be.
It’s obviously very predictable – you can see the “plot twists” a mile away, but if you want a sweet book, look no further, this is for you. Very cute!
Side note: if you are looking for spice, this has Disney movie levels.
