The Cinderella Countess (Mills & Boon Historical) (Gentlemen of Honour, Book 3)

Annabelle Smith has only vague memories of her past as she was abandoned as a small child in France. She now lives as a healer in London's poverty-stricken Whitechapel, she receives a life-changing visit from the rich and imposing Lytton Staines, Earl of Thornton. He needs a cure for his ailing sister Lucy. A well written charming rags to riches romance that held my interest al the way through & I read it in a sitting. Whilst Belle only had fragments of memories it was obvious to the reader where her past lay. Lytton & Belle were attracted to each other & his protectiveness highlighted his growing feelings. I enjoyed hoe her past was revealed & also her journey to her HEA. Whilst this is the third in the series it could easily be read on its own. There are still a couple of recurring characters who I would love to have their stories too My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
