Frederick, the Earl of Fleetwood was Eleanor St. Aubin’s first love, but being a vicar’s daughter held her back from admitting her feelings. Now she's a successful matchmaker, and the prospect of helping him find the wealthy wife he needs to settle his inherited debts is a nightmare come true! But returning from war, Frederick has nightmares of his own. Eleanor feels compelled to help him, but could she ever be his Cinderella countess?
I want to state upfront that I did DNF this book at 41% after realizing that it wasn't for me. The characters were likeable and filled with charming idiosyncrasies which made them realistic. I wanted to read more but the pacing was too slow and lagging. I kept on getting bored because there was also a lack of the romantic excitement that I find in most historical romances. I think that someone who likes a slower paced historical romance should pick this one, but it just wasn't for me. Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Romance for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
