Storming the Castle: An Original Short Story with Bonus Content

This was such an interesting story and I fell so quickly in love with it. This is such a quick novella and was a blast of a good time. It had charm, some outer conflict and a sweet relationship and fun banter. So just about everything you look for in a good historical romance. I love how solid this novella was written, it almost didn't feel like a novella, it felt so well developed that it could have easily been passed off as an almost novel. So bravo to Eloisa James for taking such care with this story.

This is a story of class difference and I love these type of dynamics. I didn't truly understand why it was class difference that much. I mean the hero is a servant but yet brother to a prince? lol I just couldn't understand why his brother and sister in law treated the way that they did. He sacrificed so much for them and they treat him not as good as I would have liked to see. They are one of the main couples in the series so that was a bit disappointing. But I did love what we see from this couple. In how they bond in healing a baby dealing with colick and how they connect. They instantly know that they are it for each other, but the heroine is on the run from a fiancee she has no interest in marrying and is in hiding and poses as a nanny as a cover. It was a very unique premise that I could easily get behind. I loved how it was resolved and a sweet epilogue. I am eager to finish up the rest of the series though.
