My personal assistant—a.k.a. half my brain—has abandoned me to have a baby. Alright, alright, I’m not a total jerk, but the temporary virtual assistant Carla left in her place is driving me crazy.

I’ve repeatedly refused to fill out Amy Walker’s way-too-friendly questionnaire. But somehow, she ninjas me into giving up details about my private life—all while suffering her oh-so-subtle jabs at my likes, dislikes, even my system for running my business.

I don’t care what she heard, I am not a problem child. I just know what’s tried and true.

At first, her feel-good P.S. quotes sounded more like B.S. Yet our emails and texts gradually take on a new dimension, and I find myself thinking of her as something I haven’t cultivated in a long time. A friend.

Maybe she’s right. It’s time I get a life. Starting with stepping out from behind the screen and putting my feelings on the line. I’ll never know unless I try.

Note: Contains a grumpy, workaholic tech CEO with a guarded heart, and a virtual assistant whose skills border on diabolical. Also, two cats named Ramen and Sushi.

 

Excerpt

February 21st

Mrs. Jones,

Thank you for your inquiry about our services and for filling out our initial application. It’ll be a pleasure to help you find just the right virtual assistant for your need. Please, let me make sure we got some details right. On the application, you describe your current boss as impatient, aggressive, micromanaging, and somehow a social piranha.

Did I misread it? Is there a possibility that this was a typo?

If you could please correct or expand on your description, I’ll appreciate it. Mrs. Darlington explained our mission correctly. We always find the most fitting assistant for your company. Even for social piranhas. We have the right person for that. Our personnel is highly trained and holds at least a bachelor degree.

Best Regards,

E. Lancaster, CEO

For one magical night… 
I was Cinderella at the ball, sipping champagne and dancing under the stars with the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on.
 
For one magical night… 
I was the sparkle in his eyes and in the heat of passion…the name on his lips.
 
For one magical night…
I lived my fairytale and the man before me was my dream come to life…my very own Prince Charming.
 
But, my magical night disappeared with the light of day…
As did my handsome prince.
So, just like Cinderella…I ran.
All the way home to New York City…
To lick my wounds and nurse my broken heart.
 
Now 3,459 miles away from that magical night… my prince’s face was smiling back at me…from the magazine rack at the grocery store. 
It wasn’t pretend.
He really is a prince.
And he’s searching for me.
Now, I need to do everything in my power to not be found…

My review:

*happy sigh*

What a great Cinderella story.

Claire and Rand meet at a wedding and have a fairy tale night together, but a case of mistaken identity makes it hard for Rand to find her. But even if he does, how could they have a relationship when their lives are so different?

I did love this one. The first thing that I absolutely loved was that Claire was not in her early 20s. She is 40 and Rand is a couple years older. They both have friends and established careers and lives. And while I have nothing against New Adult books, it is so nice to have the maturity of experience in a relationship and not the angsty drama, self doubt, and second guessing. When Claire and Rand have an issue, they talk about it. They may argue about it, but there’s no big dramatic breakup and weeks of whining that could have been prevented if they had taken 5 minutes to talk.

Sorry, tangent there 🙂

Claire and Lizzie are almost another love story themselves. Not romantic love, but soulmate best friends who live an ocean apart. I loved their friendship and unconditional support of each other.

Claire and Rand, though. They are perfection. The sweetness, the romance, the dresses, the passion… just perfection.

This is a fantastic Valentine’s Day read.

Excerpt
The minister glanced between them. In a low voice he asked,
“Are you ready?”
“Yes,” they both said.
He raised his voice so the congregation could her him.
“Michael and Rowan, marriage is a promise between two people to love, trust,
and honor each other. It takes trust to know in your hearts you only want the
best for each other. It takes—”
A commotion at the back of the chapel stopped the minister
from telling them what else it took.
“Sir, you can’t go in. There’s a wedding in progress!”
She recognized their wedding planner Stephanie’s voice.
“I know. I’m here to stop it.”
Rowan’s heart thumped in her chest and her fingers tingled
from the flow of adrenaline suddenly coursing through her. She squeezed her
eyes closed. “Please God, no,” she whispered.
