Publisher's summary

Every fortune-hunting female in London is after the newly titled Earl of Drake, but he's intent on finding a wife whose heart is true. So, while drunkenly jesting with his friends in a pub one night, he has an idea - what if the ladies of the ton didn't know he was a wealthy earl? All he has to do is pose as a servant at his friend's summer country house party and make sure the guest list is full of beautiful, eligible debutantes. What could possibly go wrong?

Miss Frances Wharton is far more interested in fighting for the rights of the poor than in marriage, but her mother insists she attend a summer house party - and find herself a husband. Frances would rather wed a goat than the pompous man her mother has in mind, so in order to dissuade the would-be suitor, she vows to behave like a shrew. The only person she can be herself with is the kind, handsome footman she runs into at every turn. Their connection is undeniable, and the divide between them is no match for the passion they feel. But what will happen when Frances learns that the footman she adores is actually the earl she despises? In a game where everything is false, can they convince each other that their love is true?

Contains mature themes.

Cute premise

I really liked to idea of the story but the end really ruined it for me. The plot and characters were quite good and makes me want to read another. I’m just curious if to write this book, the author was given a quota to fill in of physical love… that’s how the “love” parts felt. They were fillers rather than actually helping the story along…

The Foot man and I

This was a new author to me, but it was a cute regency romance. While I enjoyed the book, it seemed to be a slow starter for me, but once I actually got into, I enjoyed it. There are explicit, or sizzling, sex scenes near the end of the story so I would only recommend it for older, age appropriate readers. 😊

The narrator is fantastic

I think the story was extended longer than it should have been . The plot was fun and the characters were interesting but it was the narrator that kept me invested

Not Bad

This was not bad. I enjoyed it. I didn't like how stubborn the heroine was being at the end. so what if the hero lied, I would rather marry him then that fat old dude.

Good

I had a hard time getting into the story but it got better with time. Maybe it was the narration. I had to increase the speed because she read a bit too slowly for me. I thought the premise was a bit childish but it worked out in the end.

Meh…

Mediocrity at its most…mediocre…
Nice to help you fall asleep. And when you wake up, you will have no difficulty understanding the story without having to rewind.

Undercover Boss Meets Romance

Admittedly romances aren't my cup of tea but this one kept us entertained on our road trip.

Ok book

It might be a better one , if it was narrated by Rosalyn landor. I will probably avoid this narrator, she was terrible.
