Cinder-Nanny

A Novel

De: Sariah Wilson

Narrado por: Marli Watson

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?

MY TAKE
This was a fun story. The characters are engaging and likeable which can be a rarity to too many books (and real life, sadly). I loved Diana's employers and Milo and Sophie were adorable kids. Griffin was a great guy, but his flaw was kind of a big one. It's a good thing he made up for it.

And I could never remember what it was he was supposed to have done that made grumpy granny so mad at him. Since I was listening to the audiobook, I couldn't go back and flip through the pages to see if it had been specified. The narrator, Marli Wilson, did a great job.

Funny and heartfelt!

This modern Cinderella story warmed the cockles of my heart! A relaxing and fun read that made me wish my prince would come…

So cute

I really enjoyed this listen. Well written cute with a bit of fun and emotion.

Really fun story!

Really fun story, like the main character but her sister takes the cake! ! Little Milo is a seriously well done character, I want a kid like him!

First but not last

First book by this author, I enjoyed it. Loved the kids, the couples and even the drama

Cute but long

Cute story, liked the characters but it felt like the story was dragging and slow. The main character was in her head too much. Great narrator.

Cute

I was ready for a quick, easy, light-hearted read ... and this fit the bill. Included in KindleUnlimited with text and audio. I went with the audio edition and liked it. This definitely was an "insta-love" romance. Unlike so many romances out there, this didn't have a ton of the angst/misunderstandings that can be SO frustrating to me (reading, I know the whole story of course). The "Cinderella" angle wasn't huge, but she is the poor/help and he the "prince" and there was a little "shoe" tie-in. And on that thought ... there was an exchange between our MC and her employer ...

"what size shoe do you wear?” she asked.
“Ten.”
She looked discouraged for a second.
“I wear an eleven."

I used to work in the shoe department of a department store. We only carried women's sizes 6-9 (what they assumed most average women would fit). To have two unrelated women that both have feet on the larger size ... this seemed so odd to me, a play on the traditional tiny-footed Cinderella?


Clean - I'm not recalling any language or sexual situations.

Loved it

Very sweet and sappy romance where everything works out unrealistically, but I couldn’t help but enjoy it nonetheless.

My favorite book

I love this book! It’s so romantic and clean no sex. I’ll probably be reading this again.

Loved this story!

what a great book. the storyline, the angst, the romance, I even enjoyed the narrator. I prefer dual POV but this turned out great.
