The backdrop of this book is a reality TV show called Project
Cinderella in which geeky contestants are made over by a “fairy godmother”.
Before meeting up again through the TV show boy genius CEO Greg Knickerbocker
& fashion guru Francesca St. James first meet when Francesca goes to get a
photograph for a magazine feature on Greg. Things do not go well. Greg views
Francesca as attractive but pushy and intrusive. Francesca feels Greg is
arrogant and a jerk. Fast forward a bit and Francesca has a job as a “fairy
godmother” on a reality show, coaching contestants to turn from geek to chic.
Greg entered the contest because even though he has tons of money, he is lonely
and looking for that special someone. After reading Greg’s first interaction
with Francesca, I was very surprised that he would go on a show like that,
especially for the reasons he has. It suggests a vulnerability and romantic
side that was not apparent at first. Francesca reveals hidden depths as well
after learning of her relationship with her daughter. I truly enjoyed reading
about how Greg and Francesca’s opinion of each other changes the more they get
to know each other and watching their relationship grow. I thought this romance
was sweet, sexy & I liked the characters. This is the first book I’ve read
by this author but I will try others.
