Publisher's Description:
Lady Patience Kendrick was born to a life of privilege, and with the London Season looming, she finds herself facing unprecedented pressure to adhere to the rules of society. Unfortunately, the free-spirited young woman is anything but proper. Patience's elder brother, a former military man, bemoans his sister's antics - but when he accuses her of incurable frivolity, it is simply more than she can bear. Determined to prove her brother wrong, Patience undertakes a drastic experiment: she will disguise herself as a maid and demonstrate her ability to work as hard as anyone.
Taken on as household staff by her brother's former general, Patience soon learns that willingness and ability are two very different things. While her plan sounded promising in theory, the reality is that she is out of her depth - and the irresistibly charming son of the house isn't helping matters. Patience soon finds herself embroiled in a charade far more complicated that she imagined. With both her pride and her heart at stake, she is determined to prove her brother wrong - even as her plans spiral delightfully out of control.
My Review:
I must say, I enjoyed this book a lot. I laughed, I cried, and felt all the feelings. The best books do that to me. And this counts as one of those. I received an eARC of this book from the publisher and these are my own opinions then I also went online and purchased a copy as well.
This couple was well-matched considering perceived socioeconomic differences. Patience was spunky and eager to prove herself. Some of her mishaps were quite hilarious, but ultimately she was lovable, to those she interacted with and to the reader.
Anthony was the perfect Hero, set on helping his father’s reputation. He was all about lists and reaching his desired goals. He was the complete opposite of Patience but in the best way. It’s just too bad that he is set on marrying Miss Morgan.
Esther Hatch definitely can write a good, swoony kiss. I found myself thoroughly enjoying her descriptions. This is one of those books that I could read over and over again and devour it every time.
This was a perfectly unexpected story that I absolutely couldn’t put down. I recommend it.
