Galley provided by publisher for review purposes. No Remuneration was exchanged and all opinion presented herein is my own except as noted.This is a funny and amusing story and it reminded me of the old Tammy movies which starred Debbie Reynolds, Sandra Dee and in the late sixties was a TV Show/Movie, “Tammy and the Millionaire.” The plot here also has a little bit of Cinderella.This nostalgia translates here to poor, sweet, honest country bumpkin (Maylee) in the Big City meets handsome, jaded, rich royal, Griffin Verdi, Viscount Montagne, who thinks he finds his entire life of privilege tedious.Maylee, the naive rube, also has "country wisdom;" the ability to see the beauty of the simple things and point out the obvious hypocrisy of Griffin’s declarations versus his life style.The progression of the relationship is true to form and unsurprising but it’s told warmly and with a slow build of sexual tension and I actually enjoyed the story and modern twists to the trope.
