I loved this book and hope to read more by this author. It is the story of someone who does what she has to do to live. I cared about the characters and was happy with the endimg. Love is not black and white but filled will areas of gray. I would recommend this book to a friend. I received this book from Net Galley and Totally Bound Publishing for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.

I enjoyed From A Lady to A Maid. A very modern take on the historical romance novel. Our protagonist is strong and determined. Even though she finds herself in a tough situation within a predominantly male environment she manages to stay true to self and retain her voice. I look forward to more offerings from this author.

I enjoyed the book in that Amelia, after escaping her cruel stepfather, was able tro adjust so quickly to being a maid considering she was the daughter of an Earl. The book deals a lot with her day to day chores and her interaction with fellow workers. She has sexual encounters with Harry but never loses her virginity. She encounters Damion, a friend from childhood and they engage in an affair. Eventually he learns who she is and falls in love with her, unfortunately his father had contracted for him to marry Elizabeth. There is a lot that happens in this book, there is a HEA but it does not come easily. The only issue I had with this book was it spent too much time on her chores within the household but I would recommend it for a great read.

Love this story by Cassie O'Brien! The protagonist Lady Henrrieta/ Amelia Brown, live as a maid in the home of a childhood friend. They had not seen each other in years, thus it makes it possible for Amelia to not being recognize. It was important for Amelia to stay hidden due to her stepfather's order that she married one of his friends. As Amelia Brown the maid, Henrrieta fell in love with Daimond Ashton, and when he sees her clearly for the first time, is lust at first sight. Amelia decides to have an affair with Daimond knowing well that he is already promised to be married to lady Elizabeth. He is only
Marring her to secure his title and inheritance but there is no love between them. In fact Elizabeth is really in love with her Beth friend Letty. When Amelia's step father finds her she is not safe any longer and she is pregnant, and to secure the well being of the child both Daimond, and Amelia designed a plan to eliminate the threat her stepfather posses. It is easy to fall in love with both Amelia and Daimond, their story is just too cute. Molly, James and all the other household workers also bring life to this novel.

Hands down one of the best erotic historical romance books out there. This was fabulous and will definitely keep you up reading into the wee hours. Wonderful believable characters, original storyline with some twists and turns you won't see coming. I'd rate this a 5+ star book. Author Cassie O'Brien is going on my "must read" list.

I got hooked the moment I stary3d reading this book.. Amelia hiding from her step father by hiding who she is and working as a maid in order to avoid been married to a detestable man with pain fetish.. she fell for William aka Damon who ended up married to another... Oops.... This is definitely a must read.

I really liked this book. She was such a strong woman. I loved her working as a maid. Very good romance too!

I liked this historical read. Amelia escapes her father and his arranged marriage and becomes a maid for Lord Damian. Sparks fly between Lord Damian and Amelia will they find a way to be together or will her father find her? This is a fast paced read plenty of drama and lots of steam. The story is entertaining but the flow could be better. A good read.

Lady Henrietta escapes from her locked bedroom and stepfather's attempt to starve her into agreeing to an arranged marriage that will only be of benefit to him. Underage, she must avoid his clutches until she turns twenty-one, and as Amelia Brown, she finds employment in the household of Damion, Marquis of Ashton.High-spirited and fiercely independent, Amelia has a chance encounter with Damion, which establishes a powerful attraction between the two. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Cassie O'Brien is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

I requested this title from NetGalley because I was intrigued by the synopsis and it is listed as erotica. One of my favorite genres is historical erotica.

I was confused when I started reading the book. The synopsis says that Lady Henrietta escapes from her evil stepfather and finds employment as Amelia Brown as a laundry maid in the home of Damion, Marquis of Ashton. I expected the book would open by establishing the backstory. Nope. It just jumped into an odd scene where the housekeeper figures out that Amelia's dress is too small.

Because I thought the book was so well written, I kept reading and waiting for something to happen. I felt like I was in the Victorian version of "Upstairs Downstairs". There was just so much detail from Amelia's daily life as a laundress that was not needed. It wasn't until Chapter 5 or 43% into the book that Amelia tells Damion how they know each other and explains what happened to her family money.

I loved Amelia. She was such a strong, powerful character. I felt bad that Damion was stuck in a marriage that he didn't want. I just wish that there had been less of the daily life of a laundress and more of Amelia's life after her arrangement with Damion.

I am giving this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was so well written.

I received a complimentary ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.
