Her Cinderella Complex

by Jenna Bayley-Burke

She's got the man and the wedding of her dreams. If only love were part of the fantasy.

Heather Tindall is forced to temp as a personal assistant until her dream job as an event planner comes along. Worse, her new boss has a penchant of running off new assistants before lunch.

Six months into their working relationship, her dedication still manages to surprise him. But her best efforts to protect his personal life can't keep the press from seeing him as anything more than a playboy. Then it dawns on him that the perfect solution is right under his appointment book, Heather.

Swept off her kitten heels, Heather can't help but accept the proposal of the man with whom she's fallen in love. She hopes that in time he'll come to feel something for her. Curtis is determined not to feel anything, for anyone, ever. He'll do anything Heather wants but he's not going to fall in love with her. Except that will never do for a girl with a Cinderella Complex

Another sort of fluffy-bunny book. She's a temp for a guy who runs off his assistants usually before lunch. Of course she ends up with him eating out of her hand... you know the drill. Nothing unusual or earth shattering here, but it's another easy, mindless read. Sometimes its nice to be able to read without your brain being fully engaged.

Having read my first Jenna Bayle-Burke book, Compromising Position, I had such high expectations for this book but was sorely disappointed.

Executive Assistant Robyn Tindall falls in love with boss, Curtis Frye. Fortunately for her, he proposes a fake engagement which she accepts. She tries to renege on the arrangement when she realises he isn't in love with her and doesn't to be.

The plot didn't hang together giving the sense that some pages were missing. I found the characters boring.

This book has since been updated, expanded and published as The Billionaire's Runaway Fiancee which should hopefully be a huge improvement.

The H's character development and story feel unresolved and the ending was too abrupt.

[Landy · Rating 4 out of 5]

so far this is my fave story from Jenna Bayley-Burke.
I think is the straight honesty between the characters from the start, these two talk and work things out.
He is a damage alpha male, and I'm a sucker for those, so maybe that is why I like this one so much.
And also different than the other books this one actually has a well thought out ending, not an abrupt one.

It started interesting enough for the first 25% of the book. But turned downhill from there. The dialogs were boring and the heroine was just annoying. Very disappointed, I very much wanted to love Ms Burke..

This was an okay book but very predictable. It also felt very rushed. Instead of taking time and letting feelings and emotions play themselves out, the characters moved from one thing to the next too quickly.

This was more or less ok story. However, what completely disappointed me is that I already read an almost identical book by Jane Porter published a couple of years earlier as Harlequin. And as if plagiarism wasn't enough, this Cinderella aspect here is way overdone...

This book was okay. The story was kind of interesting but the characters where never developed and a lot of the main issues they had never really got answers.

Review to come when I'm sober.

[Derla · Rating 3 out of 5]

A romantic novel that was frustratingly repetitive with the "she loves me - she loves me not - she loves me - she loves me not"type of scenario.

The story has a couple of incongruences but it is still a cute love story.

[Charlene · Rating 1 out of 5]

Too Harlequin-ish for me-I haven't been in that neighborhood since high school, and it wasn't a great trip down memory lane. It did make me appreciate the authors I love now even more.

That was baaddd! I mean really really bad.
