Crystal's Reviews > Lady in Waiting

I had an interesting experience reading Lady in Waiting. First of all, I'm not typically a historical romance reader. There have been books in the past that have caught my attention, but they don't usually lure me to read it. Since I am an Avon Addict again, I'm starting to pay a bit more attention to the genre. One of the books that caught my attention right off the bat was Lady In Waiting. This is going to sound so bad, but here we go... I actually kept falling asleep shortly after I'd start reading. That has absolutely nothing to do with the book, I swear! It's just me and the genre have such a difficult time being in the same room.

With all that said, I actually quite enjoyed reading Lady in Waiting. It was a blend of two tropes I love: hidden identity and boss/employee romance. Wrap that up in a pretty little bow and you get this adorable book. While I wondered how none of the other servants picked up on how Helen seemed a bit off when it came to doing some of her chores, I did love Clara's interactions with them. She seems like the type of person that would continue to treat servants with kindness even though her status is obviously above them. William was amazing. I wish there was more from his perspective, but I loved him nonetheless. I loved the attraction and chemistry between Clara and William. I do love a good "I love you, but I know I shouldn't" type of romance. The scenes where William takes care of Clara melted my heart. I won't go into detail, but they're quite dramatic. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Lady in Waiting. It definitely started my new journey into the world of historical romance on a positive note and now I'm totally looking forward to the second book in the series.

I received an advance copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
