4.5 star!
I discovered Rachel Lacey last year and loved her Risking It All series, so I absolutely looked forward to the first book in her new Almost Royal series, If the Shoe Fits. Take a royal romance, add in animal rescue and a spin on the Cinderella story, and I was hooked. Theo and Elle had fantastic chemistry and fun banter. Elle's friends were great characters too and I am looking forward to their stories. Fun fun fun!

What a cute Cinderella type story. Three friends win an opportunity to work in a castle and manage it as an inn. But when they get there, they find the owner, who is descended from English royalty, wants to sell and move back to England to get on with his life. This was adorable with lots of animals from a shelter up for adoption, great chemistry between the hero and heroine, and wonderful friendships.

FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER THROUGH NET GALLEY. I VOLUNTARILY OFFER MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE BOOK, THOUGH IT IS NOT EXPECTED OF ME! RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!
I'm always a sucker for a good fairy tale style romance, so I was beyond excited when I was asked to read and review this book. I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint!
This story focused on the new Earl, Theo, and Elle, although it does serve as an introduction to the other heroines in the series. My biggest problem with this story was the lack of connection I felt toward Theo and Elle. I didn't actually get connected to them until almost the end of the book! I did like Elle's determination and resourcefulness throughout the book, which made her easier to connect with when the big twist happened. Theo came across as too reserved to be likable, but I did like how he changed because of Elle. The setting was amazing, made even more special to me for watching Downton Abbey. The premise was very unique as well, and I found the rescue animals especially endearing.
All things considered, this was a great introduction to a new series and I can't wait for Ruby and Megan's books!
