I enjoyed this book on many levels. First I thought the writing was very good. You needed to READ the book, not skim over and I enjoyed that.The dialogue was good and I enjoyed getting to read the personal thoughts of the couple. Second - the story was a little bit more realistic than a lot of `Cinderella' stories out there. I mean she really was the housekeeper's daughter and had the lifestyle to match. He was the total opposite having been born rich, and it was interesting to see how this all worked out. My only minus (half a star) was that I wished the heroine would grow a smidgen of a spine. But perhaps there really are people like this. I kept thinking to myself its good this is just `bookland'. In real life this man would be taken from this lady in a heartbeat if she did not shape up and speak up! I loved the hero though. He was a very caring man and not your overbearing type. This book is on my keeper shelf!
The Housekeeper's Daughter

This first of three books about The Kendricks of Camelot was like a modern day Cinderella story. It was a very entertaining story of how love wins out over social boundaries. Flynn's characters and story, made me feel like everything I was reading was real and I was magically transported to their world. This is the perfect book to read for relaxation and escape from every day stresses!
