The must-get-married-to-inherit trope is not an unfamiliar one. And she has more in common with Taylor than he could ever imagine. But there is more to Ally than meets the eye. She's running from someone, and Taylor's offer might be just what she needs. As it turns out, Ally needs to get out of Vegas. And when Ally agrees, he's not sure if he should be more grateful or suspicious. But when Taylor meets a hotel maid named Ally May, he makes one last play. Of course that crazy plan isn't going to work. With what he knows is a crazy plan, he sets off to Las Vegas to convince an escort to marry him. But he's already made plans for the money-not for himself, but to help children-so he can't lose that inheritance. There are a few problems with Taylor's situation. He needs to marry a woman or the money revers to his father. But when he overhears his father reference a condition of the inheritance, Taylor can't believe it. And then he'll never have to speak to his father ever again.

Taylor turns twenty-five tomorrow and will inherit the $50 million his grandfather left him in his will. Taylor Fitzgerald is almost ready to cut his father out of his life completely. Taylor Maid was an entertaining, no angst read. I enjoyed the plot, and the subplots all tied in well together. Both characters have issues with family that threaten their relationship. We don’t hear Ally’s pov until at least a quarter to half way through the story. So much so, that he becomes sexually attracted to Ally and it confuses him because he knows for sure he’s gay, but starts to wonder if he’s bi. As the story progresses, we see how Taylor grows to enjoy Ally’s sense of humor and intelligence. The attraction between Taylor and Ally didn’t feel forced or jump into instant love, although it did start with instant lust. The author did a good job with character development.

For whatever reason, Taylor Maid is the better story. It feels like the author took ‘Sinders and Ash’ and rewrote it with a more realistic plot. Not only is it better written, with more character development and a more complex plot, Sinders is simple, and clearly based on Cinderella. Between Taylor Maid and Sinders, I choose Taylor Maid as the more interesting story. It’s called Sinders and Ash, which is the first book in the ‘Pennymaker’s Tales’ series based on fairytales. I was sure I’d read a book very similar to this one written by the same author, so I checked and lo and behold! Yes, the author did.

This story is told in third person from both Taylor and Ally’s pov.Īs soon as I started reading this book, I experienced déjà vu. So Taylor flies to Las Vegas and meets Ally May, a maid at the hotel, who has secrets of her own. Why the hurry? In order to receive his fifty million dollar inheritance. Taylor Maid is about Taylor Fitzgerald, who needs a bride before his twenty-fifth birthday, which happens to be at midnight.
