“*** I won this book in giveaways. ***
4.5 Stars
Rags-to-Riches Wife was lovely historical romance that revolved around Jane Bailey, a lady’s maid whose life changed when her estranged aristocratic grandfather called her to his estate. It was about class difference, forbidden romance, rich people’s behaviour towards servants, prejudice, judgement, and family drama.
Best part of the book was descriptions of Beechmount Hall, representation of class difference, attire and fashion, conduct, etiquettes, and mind set of people, and soirée. It truly brought me to different time and era.
Romance was slow built and delightful. I enjoyed reading Jane and Robert’s journey from Ledbury house to Beechmount, how they got to know each other more, how their feeling grew from respect to friendship.
Why 4.5 stars-
Story felt a bit longer because of Jan and Robert’s inability to talk things and solve their issue.
Overall, Rags-to-Riches Wife was delightful and absorbing, well written regency romance with likable characters and plot.
