What a cute story. A rich man helps his friend out at a masquerade. A catering employee is dragged in to help her step-sister (a very evil one at that) at the same party. They meet, they dance, they get together (to put it politely) in the conservatory and plan to meet again after the masks are removed at midnight - you know the story. After the unmasking, the wicked step-sister gets rid of the heroine because she wants the hero for herself - only 9 months later a baby shows up.She finally gets a job at a great company with a wonderful boss - little do either of them know that they are the ones who they've been looking for all this time.
Sophie Brooks has done a amazing job of keeping this story cute and fun when it could have gotten sleazy. Blake is a genuinely good guy who wasn't in for just hook-up. Penny is a hard working, independent woman, not looking for her baby daddy but actually just looking for the man she fell in love with. The ending was particularly satisfying when all the people get what they deserve. ( )
