Book Review - Cinderella Deal

First let me start by saying I was pretty excited that I didn't have to pay for this book, it was my first library ebook, pretty cool. I had this book on my long amazon wish list of books so I was delighted when I saw it was on the library page. I 'got in line' to wait for my ebook and it took almost no time at all for me to get it. Score for not having to buy it and could borrow it for free. Although I am pretty sure when I put it on my wish list it was listed for a price of $2.99, which having read it I would pay the $3 to read/own the book, but today I saw it was listed for $7.99, that seems a bit steep to me, for that price I would probably pass on it and say to save your pennies, I could buy almost 3 books for that price.

Book Title: The Cinderella Deal by Jennifer Cruise

Book Summary (from Amazon): New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Crusie brings humor and storytelling magic to this modern-day romance of a match made anywhere but in heaven—but destined for a fairy-tale ending.

Daisy Flattery is a free spirit with a soft spot for strays and a weakness for a good story. Why else would she agree to the outrageous charade offered by her buttoned-down workaholic neighbor, Linc Blaise? The history professor needs to have a fiancée in order to capture his dream job, and Daisy is game to play the role. But something funny happens on their way to the altar that changes everything. Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Daisy lose her prince, or will opposites not only attract but live happily ever after?

My Review: I thought this book was very cute, it's another short, quick, light read, nothing heavy. I pretty much read the entire book in two short sittings. I've come to the conclusion that these type of $2.99 chick lit books are all the same, and are usually pretty predictable but as long as I enjoy the characters and the storyline I don't mind the cliche predicability of them. I still maintain that it beats watching bad television any day.

I did enjoy the characters very much in this book, they were well developed and you could see what both of them were looking for, you could relate to each of them. I actually had my own assumptions as to what I thought was going to happen and I have to say it did unfold slightly different which was nice so it wasn't totally predictable. The main character was refreshing and I liked how she was in control of her own situation and destiny (for the most part). I was happy with the ending and I would def tell others to read it, that is if you can get it from the library or for the price of $2.99 it's worth it for a cute read.
