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., Wheand 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 Chearlotte…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

One of my favorite things is when the hero falls in love with the heroines brain and her wit. It’s fine for him to recognize her beauty but I want him to be mesmerized by her intelligence. This Duke is completely bowled over by Charlottes brain. Her terrible upbringing has been tolerable because of her stepsister. Francesca is lovely in her own right. I
I loved the interactions between the Duke & Charlotte. However, the last 1/8 of the book took a very melodramatic turn that took a bit if the shear from the story.
It’s still a good Cinderella retelling.
