A Fall from Grace
Jennie Goutet
3/5
After going through a total lack of wealth, status, and station in life, Selena is employed as a companion for a countess. She has spent the last three years being turned away from society, starting with being jilted by her fiance and going all the way to her present employment. She is given jobs that would have been previously considered as worlds beneath her and with people who don't really respect her at all.
I think it was pretty good but I think that the description in the synopsis was a little exaggerated. I was expecting more significance from the initial misunderstanding between the two protagonists, it wasn't all that dramatic. Everything in the book was pretty good just not all that exciting. The ending felt a little watered down and not as crazy as it could have been. I think that it did a pretty good job of being realistic for that period of society, just not dramatic like a soap opera or anything.
I think if you like quick little historical romances, this one is short and sweet. It's not something that majorly stands out but it is something that was written well for what it did.
