Review: The Duke's Secret Cinderella by Eva Devon

Cinderella meets Ever After in this witty and lively historical romance from USA Today bestseller Eva Devon.

Charlotte Browne could just kick herself. What on earth possessed her to tell the Duke of Rockford that she is a lady? But something about the duke’s handsomeness and kind intelligence makes Charlotte blurt out the teeniest, tiniest falsehood. Now it’s too late to admit she’s just plain Charlotte of no particular importance—with cinder-stained hands, a wretched stepfather, and no prospects for marriage….

Rafe Dorchester, Duke of Rockford, has done what every self-respecting duke must do—avoid marriage at all costs. But the only thing stronger than the duke is his mother., When she lays down the highest ultimatum, he’ll need to find a duchess. Immediately. Only, when he calls on a potential bride, he instead finds the pert, fresh-faced Lady Charlotte. Rafe was warned to never mix the business of marriage with pleasure, but when it comes to Lady Charlotte…oh, business would be a splendid pleasure.


Each book in the Never a Wallflower series is STANDALONE:
* The Spinster and the Rake
* Much Ado About Dukes
* The Duke's Secret Cinderella
 

My Review

The Duke's Secret Cinderella by Eva Devon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What a true villain we get in this book. I really wanted to reach in and slug that guy.
Charlotte has been living as a servant in her own home since the passing of her mother and under the thumb of her cruel stepfather. Meeting Rafe causes Charlotte to feel things she's never felt before.
It also brings trouble into her life, the lies are building and when her stepfather finds out she and her stepsister try their best to go along with his plans.

Charlotte Is on a mission to release a beloved servant from jail when she bumps into the Duke of Rockford. He assumes she's a lady and doesn't bother to correct him, figuring she'll never see him again after this encounter.

Rafe, the Duke of Rockford, has done his best to avoid marriage. But his mother recently issued an ultimatum he can't ignore and he must finally get married. None of the ladies of the ton interest him until he runs into Lady Charlotte. She's unlike any of the ladies he's ever met. For the first time ever he's hopeful to have a marriage that's more than a business arrangement.

Thank you so much to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
