Cinder-Nanny, by Sariah Wilson
3.0
"I will always choose you."
Rating: 3.5/5
Cinder-Nanny follows Diana, a broke 23-year-old who lies her way into becoming a nanny for a wealthy family living in Aspen for a few months. The reason? To get enough money to pay for her sister's kidney transplant. While in Aspen, Diana unexpectedly meets Griffin, an actual English Earl. The pair are instantly attracted to one another and while Diana tries to remain friends with him, her resolve falters as they spend more and more time together. But will he run away when he learns the truth?
Cinder-Nanny didn't quite capture my attention as much as I'd hoped. Firstly, it was very much a slooooow burn, with Griffin being the shining light. He was infatuated with Diana from the beginning, even as she slowly revealed secret after secret. I appreciated his dedication and love for her, even when she repeatedly said she just wanted to be friends.
I actually really liked all the side characters. Alice was such a fun big sister and they had a strong sisterly bond. Meanwhile, Milo was such a cute and misunderstood kid and I liked how Diana used her skills to teach him things in his own way. But in general, I just didn't feel a strong connection to Diana.
Overall though, if you like your romance with a side of escapism, this modern-day Cinderella retelling might do the trick.
