Synopsis
Regency housemaid Euphemia Reeves has acquired a faerie godfather. Unfortunately, he has no idea what he's doing.
Effie has most inconveniently fallen in love with the dashing Mr Benedict Ashbrooke. There's only one problem; Effie is a housemaid, and a housemaid cannot marry a gentleman. It seems that Effie is out of luck until she stumbles into the faerie realm of Lord Blackthorn, who is only too eager to help Effie win Mr Ashbrooke's heart. All he asks in return is that Effie sew ten thousand stitches onto his favourite jacket.
Effie has heard rumours about what happens to those who accept help from faeries, but life as a maid at Hartfield is so awful that she is willing to risk even her immortal soul for a chance at something better. Now, she has one hundred days - and ten thousand stitches - to make Mr Ashbrooke fall in love and propose. . . if Lord Blackthorn doesn't wreck things by accident, that is. For Effie's greatest obstacle might well prove to be Lord Blackthorn's overwhelmingly good intentions.

Coup de cœur également pour ce tome deux ! Quel plaisir de retrouver la plume de cette autrice ! Ce second tome m'a autant charmé que le premier. On y suit ici de nouveaux persos principaux, mais toujours dans l'univers du premier tome, dans une jolie réécriture de Cendrillon qui met en avant les injustices sociales. J'étais au bord des larmes à la fin. Plus de romantasy régence de ce genre svp.
Incroyable. Je ne savais pas qui etait le love interest jusqu'au 60% du livre mais le mec est chou et les messages sont super cool. Des fois, la colere, c'est une bonne chose.
C'était bien trop chou! Une romance dans la veine d'un conte (on sent la subtile réécriture de Cendrillon) et tout y était doux. Ce qui n'empêche pas l'autrice de parler d'injustice sociale. Si j'avais beaucoup aimé le premier tome j'ai adoré ce second.
