Risking it All for a Lady's Heart: A Historical Regency Romance Book by Aria Norton

Although, this tale is quite romantic; it's plot sounds impossible at times. The possibilities of a lowly maid becoming a duchess under the circumstances as described are impossible. Although the duke blames Frederica for Nash's injury, and even if he loved the service of her parents, he would have done something before they died to get rid of her. It could have been another position or sent to school to be a governess to get her away from his household. After they died, he could have really destroyed her. He was far too generous in allowing her to stay in her parents cottage as long as he did. Like all men, Nash is really stupid about providing for her in France. If he had a job that allowed him to travel back to England, he could have well afforded to come to England and propose to Frederica and take her back to France with him. She could have worked if need be in France and it's not as if she is use to a life of comfort anyway. I didn't mean to tear this plot apart, but I thought of possibilities far more as I read this story than actually enjoying the story itself.
