A very sweet historical romance novel. It has been a while since I have dug into a historical romance book, I do miss them. When I first got a review copy of The Perks of Being a Beauty I didn't realize It was a novella until I cracked it open. Either way, it satisfied my thirst for this genre for now and introduced me to yet another new author to me!When Miss Amelia Snowe's employers, the Smithsons throw a party for their daughter Harriet, the last thing she expect was to run into her childhood friend and the man she declined a marriage proposal from. Lord Quentin Fortescue never expected to see the woman from his past that stole his heart and shattered it again until they were thrown together once more.Lovely quick read, I did thoroughly enjoy this one. Amelia Snowe has had a bad past. After rejecting his proposal she had managed to get herself in quiet a bit of mischief chasing man with titles during her London season. A woman who is now out to correct all her past mistakes of being totally horrible to the rest of the ton, now works as a companion to one of the wealthy families in hopes of redeeming herself.I kind of liked Amelia. Thought the author briefly touched on what she had done, it was clear that she was a nasty character probably in one of the books. I am glad to see her on a different kind of path in this one. I am sure it was a complete turn around for her. I loved Quentin more and the fact that he stood up for her when times called for it.Quick read that introduced me to the world of the Ugly Duckling's series. I think I own the last book, but I am sure I will be picking up some more of this authors writing. I enjoyed the instant attraction between Amelia and Quentin as well as Collins story telling!Got the book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange of an honest review
