Cinder Nanny – ARC Book Review

What could come between a nanny and an earl in a fairy-tale love story? A reality check—in an endearing and witty romance by Sariah Wilson, the bestselling author of Roommaid.

With her sister’s medical bills mounting, Diana Parker can’t say no to a high-paying opportunity like this: accompany a wealthy couple to Aspen and nanny their precocious five-year-old son for three months. Necessary qualifications? She must know how to ski and teach math, speak fluent French, excel at social graces, and hold a master’s degree in childhood development. Who’ll be the wiser that Diana’s only skill is packing for Colorado?

So far, so good—having a con woman for a mother has turned out to be a benefit, even if Diana has complicated feelings about telling lies. But she’s doing this for her sister. And the perks—like a ticket to a lavish charity fundraiser, a new gown, and a Prince Charming–adjacent earl named Griffin Windsor—are pretty irresistible. Diana can’t deny the Cinderella vibe.

Wary of gold diggers and scandal, England’s most eligible bachelor is nevertheless falling for Diana, and sweeping the not-quite princess off her feet.

The warmer their relationship becomes, the slipperier the slopes are for Diana. Sooner or later, she’ll have to come clean. When that happens, does an honest-to-goodness happy ending stand a chance?

A classic Cinderella story set in the modern period–a love story between a nanny and a British earl.

Diana fakes her own way to becoming a nanny to a very wealthy family. While doing her job, she meets Griffin, an eligible British bachelor who is an earl. Griffin has to look after his niece Sophie while Diana is nannying Milo and while they were both looking after the children, soon, their relationship turns into romantic relationship. But Griffin has no idea about Diana’s background and will Diana’s happily ever after be ruined if she then tells him the truth?

I actually enjoyed reading this book, even though I am very skeptical on romance novels. Though this was very typical romance novels, nevertheless, I was hooked into the story and really rooted for the chemistry between Diana and Griffin that I actually wanted them to end up together. There were some funny parts in the book that will make you laugh out loud and the author did a good job of making the reader feel like they are part of the story. Overall, if you like a happily ever after themed story with a Cinderella theme, then this book might be the one for you–worth five stars!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Montlake for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
