5 Stars, Reviewed by Michelle Fayard
Weaving together a modern-day Cinderella story with a delightful dollop of Pretty Woman, author Lorraine Nelson delivers a romance that is certain to please current—and gain many new—readers. A wonderful cast of supporting characters, culinary descriptions that will have foodies drooling and vignettes of eastern Canadian life add sparkle to the tale of Miranda "Randi" Stuart, a woman who believes in herself as well as the magic of love, and Alex Denning, a billionaire playboy who is so much more than the façade he's learned to assume around others. How the two overcome their black moment is a series of wonderfully poignant surprises that, combined with the spirit of the Christmas season, create an ending readers won't soon forget. For a romance book that keeps the plot firmly on the romance, this book is sure to please. And Ms. Nelson's writing style and voice are the sinfully delicious icing on the (wedding) cake!
