We love free books don't we?! Well this latest offering by the Harlequin Desire line is: The Maid's Daughter by Janice Maynard. This is very much a modern cinderella. However, in this version, "the prince" also has issues of his own.
The story touches on the very serious subject of child abuse and the lingering effects it can leave on a person. However, I think I would have liked to see it addressed a little further within the scope of the story. I personally believe the author missed an opportunity to weave greater attention to such an issue, as this, into a beautiful love story. Because to me personally the most beautiful love stories aren't alway the "and they lived happily ever after" with perfect endings but rather those stories where they love through the scars. Where one leaves the story knowing they will continue to love through the difficult areas ahead.
