Description de l’éditeur
Jaine Andersen lands her dream marketing job at a theme park and discovers the dress code includes glass slippers.
Jaine has always wanted to use her marketing skills someplace fun, and Storybook Valley seems like the perfect fit. But charming general manager Dylan Callahan has another role in mind: spend the summer filling in as the park's Cinderella.
Her unexpected reign transforms Jaine's carefully planned new life into enough chaos to bewilder a fairy godmother. Soon she's juggling princess duty, a royal ball, wedding errands for her demanding sisters, and a growing attraction to her new boss.
Falling for Dylan makes everything even more complicated, especially when Jaine discovers that an old high-school rival—who also happens to be Dylan's ex—works there too. And she's not about to let Jaine waltz off with the prince.
Jaine finally has a chance to prove she belongs at Storybook Valley without the tiara. But mixing business with pleasure could cost her the dream job she's worked so hard for—or a romance she never saw coming.
Fooling Around with Cinderella is a sweet, lighthearted romantic comedy featuring workplace sparks, witty banter, and plenty of fairy-tale fun. It's the first book in the Storybook Valley series, where happily-ever-afters happen both onstage and off. Each romance stands alone. Next, dance into Rory and Kyle's story in Prancing Around with Sleeping Beauty.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this charming yet predictable romance, opening the Storybook Valley contemporary series, an ambitious young marketing executive applies for her dream job at a fairy tale theme park and ends up agreeing to assume the role of Cinderella for the summer. At first thrown off by the demands of the position, Jaine Anderson soon learns to love playing the part of a princess, especially as it allows her to spend time with sexy Dylan Callahan, general manager of Storybook Valley. Acknowledging the mutual attraction, they must nevertheless juggle their professional relationship along with a burgeoning romantic one. Meanwhile, Jaine's sisters place their own demands on her time, including babysitting and wedding planning, pushing her toward a stress-induced breaking point. Naturally, the Cinderella tropes are both subtle and overt in this tale, as the heroine literally wears the glass slippers while deflecting the flirtations of the park's resident Prince Charming. The romance is cute, heartfelt, and chaste, but the obligatory antagonist is all-too-easily overcome. Like a theme park, this story is pleasant, inoffensive, and satisfying, but lacking an edge.
