I loved the gender-switched Cinderella. Leo was so adorable and yet so relatable, with his need to double down on his pride every time he felt out of place. And poor Marie! Trying so hard to be everything to everybody at the expense of her happiness. Their romance, while whirlwind, (as befits a Hallmark-like story) really felt like two people finding what they needed in each other. What really took this to the next level were the secondary characters. Gabby, Leo's sister. The mysterious Mr. Benz. Imogen and Kai (who I suspect are the couple in the last part of this trilogy). And most of all, Dani and Max. Give me witty English scholars every day. Gimme their book now!

The teaser will have me explode before then!) Leo's cab is technically off-duty, since he's driving his little sister home from school, but the lady on the curb seems desperate. When it turns out that the lady is a princess whose car service failed to turn up before a key meeting, he gets her where she needs to go, and in return, she hires him to be her driver for the weekend. The money she offers him will be a godsend: since their parents' death, Leo has been raising his little sister while working multiple jobs just to get by. What he doesn't expect is to strike up a friendship with Princess Marie, who then invites Leo and Gabby back to her country for Christmas. Leo feels out of place at the palace in Eldovia, but he can't deny certain other feelings, as well. There's no way a princess would be allowed to have a serious relationship with a New York City cab driver -- but maybe their relationship doesn't have to be all that serious? It's like a Hallmark movie, but spicier. If you're looking for a fun holiday romance, this is one -- and it's the start of a series, to boot. I probably won't read on right away, but I'll file this author away in my mind as a future source for holiday-themed fluff. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
From USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday comes a modern fairy tale just in time for Christmas about a tough New Yorker from the other side of the tracks who falls for a princess from the other side of the world. Leo Ricci's already handling all he can, between taking care of his little sister Gabby, driving a cab, and being the super of his apartment building in the Bronx. But when Gabby spots a "princess" in a gown outside of the UN trying to hail a cab, she begs her brother to stop and help. Before he knows it, he's got a real-life damsel in distress in the backseat of his car. Princess Marie of Eldovia shouldn't be hailing a cab, or even be out and about. But after her mother's death, her father has plunged into a devastating depression and the fate of her small Alpine country has fallen on Marie's shoulders. She's taken aback by the gruff but devastatingly handsome driver who shows her more kindness than she's seen in a long time. When Marie asks Leo to be her driver for the rest of her trip, he agrees, thinking he'll squire a rich miss around for a while and make more money than he has in months. He doesn't expect to like and start longing for the unpredictable Marie. And when he and Gabby end up in Eldovia for Christmas, he discovers the princess who is all wrong for him is also the woman who is his perfect match. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This book is basically a Hallmark Christmas movie in book form but with better writing than even the best of that film genre and far more steam than they ever include. So basically, it was a perfect holiday read for me. ( )
