3.5 starsI like Grace Burrowes' writing and was not disappointed in this novella. A lot was packed into such a short story. The spare "Percy" was kind and not pompous even though he's  the son of a duke. Esther was humble and realistic about her position as a less fortunate relative. This was a quiet friends to lovers story that's a nice precursor to a new series. My only gripe was that besides from Esther, all the women were betrayed as sniping, malicious, unfeeling snobs. I hate bringing out my girl power flags but I wish that there was at least one other redeemable female in the book. You don't have to make all the other girls horrible to make Ester stand out.
