And we have the conclusion of the Impossible Bachelors! If You Give a Girl a Viscount has a Cinderella vibe, but with a few twists that keep it from being overly Cinderella-y. (Because that's a word? It's totally a word.)
I'm a wee bit disappointed we didn't get more of the godmother. She sounded like a treat with her fourteen (FOURTEEN!) goddaughters. But Kieran Kramer has an ability to write super fun supporting characters, from the Spinster Club in book 2 and Otis from book 3. It's just I want more of them.
Daisy's doing everything she can to save her family's home, despite the lack of help from her stepmother and stepsisters. (See? Cinderella vibe!) And her godmother gives her... Charlie, the Viscount Lumely. Who, despite being rich, has given up his money.
But this is good, since Charlie needs to, essentially, grow up and find who he is. Daisy, on the other hand, needs a champion...with money. Which is where much of the tension lies. I was able to guess some things, like the identity of the Keep's owner, before it even became an issue. But that could just be me and guessing how things had to go for plot purposes.
Definitely a satisfying conclusion to the Impossible Bachelors series.
