Summary:
A delicious
historical romance perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and Upstairs, Downstairs
After the Russian Revolution turns her world
topsy-turvy, Anna, a young Russian countess, has no choice but to flee to
England. penniless, Anna hides her aristocratic background and takes a job as
servant in the household of the esteemed Westerholme family, armed only with an
outdated housekeeping manual and sheer determination. Desperate to keep her
past a secret, Anna is nearly overwhelmed by her new duties--not to mention her
instant attraction to Rupert, the
handsome Earl of Westerholme. to make matters
worse, Rupert appears to be falling for her as well. As their attraction grows
stronger, Anna finds it more and more difficult to keep her most dearly held
secrets from unraveling. And then there's the small matter of Rupert's
beautiful and nasty fiancee. . . .
Review: I loved, loved, loved this book! Everything was
perfect, the romance, the plot, the END! I loved how Anna could befriend
the servants just as easily as the nobility, and wasn't constantly having to
choose between them. I loved how Rupert was so blatantly honest, and how
even when it was clear Rupert's fiancée, Muriel, wasn't his soul mate, he
wouldn't go back on his word (proposal). And when Muriel does something
really bad (read it, and you'll know what I'm talking about), I really yelled
out in justified anger!
This
book was amazing, fantastic, fabulous, enjoyable, and adventurous. I guess what
I'm trying to say is that you have to read The Countess Below Stairs.
10 of 10 stars
