About this ebook

Magazine editor Macie Graham always gets her story—and she needs dirt on smokin' hot media personality Ross Mannon. After he trashes one of her articles, jeopardizing her job, she goes undercover to get revenge on the infuriating Texan.

At the end of his rope when his teenage daughter starts acting out, Ross decides to hire a housekeeper and role model to help. Luckily the perfect woman shows up. A bit too perfect, as the more he gets to know his gorgeous, red-stiletto-wearing employee, the more attracted he becomes.

"Operation Cinderella" was a foolproof plan, but Ross proves he's as perfect behind-the-scenes as he is in public—until Macie uncovers a secret that could destroy his reputation. Everything she's worked for is within reach, except the fairy tale ending she didn't even know she wanted.

Ratings and reviews

My issue with the book is more an issue with me, I guess. To be honest, I'm a big fan of traditional gender roles and am probably on NOW's hate list, but Ross's close-mindedness wasn't something I could get past. I'd be fine if he preferred to have a wife who wanted to be the perfect homemaker, but to act like a woman with modern values, someone who was liberal and realistic about things was some kind of threat to society was too much for me to take. His vehement opposition to the idea that a sexually liberated woman who didn't spend her days cooking and cleaning was a big turn-off. To me, there's a fine line between embracing tradition and forcing limitations on someone, and with Ross, it felt like the latter. By the time he fell in love with her, only to realize Macie was not at all the woman he thought she was, there's just wasn't enough time left in the book to convince me that he loved her for the real Macie.

Liberal gal meets ultra conservative guy...with a bratty (at first) teen daughter. Great story about needing to be your true self to make everything better!

The heart of a fairy tale; a good story wrapped around several morality themes. Very enjoyable & entertaining!
