The Cinderella List


BAER, JUDY
THE CINDERELLA LIST

Wanted: One smart, kind, thoughtful -- and totally gorgeous -- man! Since she was a child, Marlo Mayfield has kept a list of traits her Prince Charming must possess.

After a series of bad relationships, Marlo's beginning to lose hope that her ideal man exists. But when she caters a party for Jake Hammond, Marlo realizes he could be the man she's been waiting for. There's only one problem: Jake is super wealthy, and Marlo's not sure she fits into his blue-blooded world. But Jake is determined to show Marlo that with a little faith and a lot of love, he just might be the one.

THIS IS A LOVELY, CLASSIC PURE ROMANCE. IT HAS TRADITIONAL LINES AND JUDY HAS FLESHED OUT THE CHARACTERS NICELY. I REALLY LIKE IT WHEN AN AUTHOR INCLUDES HER OWN INTERESTS IN A BOOK SINCE IT LENDS AN AIR OF AUTHENTICITY TO THE STORY. JUDY'S LOVE OF HORSES AND HER TRAINING IN EQUINE-ASSISTED PSYHCOTHERAPY PROVIDES A NICE BACKGROUND TO THE ROMANTIC PLOT LINE. A VERY NICE 'ESCAPE' READ.
