Summary

Faerie godfathers are supposed to help young ladies find love. Unfortunately, no one told Lord Blackthorn that.

Effie has most inconveniently fallen in love with the dashing Mr Benedict Ashbrooke. There's only one problem: Effie is a housemaid, and a housemaid cannot marry a gentleman. It seems that Effie is out of luck until she stumbles into the faerie realm of Lord Blackthorn, who is only too eager to help Effie win Mr Ashbrooke's heart. All he asks in return is that Effie sew ten thousand stitches onto his favourite jacket.

Effie has heard rumours about what happens to those who accept help from faeries, but life as a maid at Hartfield is so awful that she is willing to risk even her immortal soul for a chance at something better. Now, she has one hundred days—and ten thousand stitches—to make Mr Ashbrooke fall in love and propose...if Lord Blackthorn doesn't wreck things by accident, that is.

From the author of Half a Soul comes a whimsical faerie tale set in a magical version of Regency England, with an enchanting Cinderella twist.

It was ok

There were many elements of this book I liked, but lots dragged too. I’ll still get more by this author though.

Very Satisfying

There were times I wasn't sure about this book but I persevered and it was well worth it and has a very satisfying end. A suitable follow on from Half a Soul. Go read that first, it's lovely and then read the short stories between.
