Once Upon a Marquess by Courtney Milan
3.0
I enjoyed this but I'm kind of over the whole eldest sister sacrifices herself for the family thing (in regency romance at least whenever a man has to make a sacrifice for his family the plan seems to be a few years of trade to make the fortunes back while the women always seem to plan to give up their whole future)
Judith's family just seemed so unappreciative of what she'd done for them- Teresa deliberately breaks stuff, burns the food and takes no care of anything despite the fact that Judith really struggles with money. I know they are younger but most children from underprivileged backgrounds take some care of their property knowing it might be difficult to replace and show some remorse if they have cause damage (perhaps not while having a tantrum but 14 is old enough to be aware that money isn't endless).
