…it didn’t particularly wow me, but it was a nice gentle read ~ Under the Covers
Miss Amelia Snow is infamous amoungst the ton for her beauty and also her cruel tongue. But soon after turning a new leaf and apologizing to the three girls, the “Ugly Ducklings”, whom she bullied the most she has come upon hard times and now works as a ladies companion. In her new circumstances she never expected to see Lord Quentin Fortescue the man she refused and broke his heart as well as her own, and she certainly never expected to still be in love with him after all this time. Could he still feel the same way?
After reading the Ugly Duckling books I wasn’t sure Manda Collins could turn it round and make me actually like Amelia Snow, but she did! Not only did I like her, I was rooting for her to get her man. It was great to see her such a changed person from the first class bitch she was in the other books and I am glad she got her happy ending.
Like with the previous Manda Collins book it didn’t particularly wow me, but it was a nice gentle read and it was nice to have that closure on the Ugly Duckling series. Essentially it was sweet and romantic, with a good hero and a surprisingly likable heroine and it kept me entertained.

I just finished the ugly ducklings and saw this book. I’m glad that manda collins finds a way to make Amelia likable because I was definitely worried.
Thanks Suz!
