I liked this story. It's more like a Cinderella story. Charlotte is a confectioner and works in the family business. She attracts a Viscount when the object of her affection runs off to Paris with another women. Her oldest sister already had her fairy tale and married a Duke. The Viscount is a friend of the Duke and visits the confectioner shop when the Duke visits his wife there. I think her parents give her too much leeway when they leave and let her run the shop. This story takes a lot of liberties, but always reminds us that they are breaking polite society protocol. Which is a little annoying at times. In fact, I think that it starts to stagnate the story at points. I find the personality of the Viscount stogy and two-faced. He makes all kinds of assumptions and doesn't ask Charlotte about them. Also he knows the girl is quite naive, that is made clear as to how she has run the shop in her parents absence. My main point of this story is that this romance would never have stood up in the Regency Era. So, I have reduced this story to just a fairy tale.
