An enjoyable story
Pretty red-headed slim Keelie left her family farm to persue a career designing jewelry. Wyatt was physically a gorgeous speciman of manhood from a mega-rich family. He was expected from birth to succeed his dad as CEO of his Company. He was also expected to marry Sloan, the perfect marriage partner to take the Company forward. The trouble was he was in love with Keelie. I liked everything about the love they felt for each other but they had no moral compass. Wyatt turned out to be a weak man controlled by his dad. When his dad demanded that he marry Sloan of lose his investments, he did not even speak to Keelie again for two months. Once he got rid of Sloan he expected Keelie to take him back and she did. No. That did not ring true, nor did his family 's sudden admiration of Keelie sound likely. These things cheapened the story for me.

Country mouse falls hard for a city mouse but can ; there truly be HEA?
This was the first time I very read a book by Madison Micheal. It's not going to be the last that's for sure. Bedazzled literally has sexual tension from the first, couple sentences till the end. I mean it's the kind that you pluck a bass guitar string. That deep vibrating hum that gets deeper, stronger ,lounder the more it's played. This is how Ms.Madison has given us the awesome steam hot thumbing sexual tension between Keeli and Wyatt.
Her entire cast of characters are all well thought out no cardboard cutouts. Each one has great depth, so if a story later on will be need to built. The ground work has been laid out well. Yet even with this going on it still didn't distract from the main two characters. This to me proves that our author Madison Micheal knows her stuff . Along with the rest of this series it's just going to get better and better.

I’d give 3.5 stars. I like that this book had a decent story line and time for the two main characters to get to know each other. Romantic stuff didn’t really start until about 1/2 way through. I love that Chicago was the setting (always enjoy reading about my hometown)! Keeli, the main female character, is motivated and independent. Her and the male lead have great chemistry. Although we can understand his decisions towards the end, I felt she took him back a little too easily. I guess I would have liked a little more angst, some more groveling on his part. Overall, an enjoyable read! I’d recommend it.

At first it took me a little while to get into this story, for no lack of excellent story telling, I just have a hard time getting into third person storylines as they don’t usually make me feel as connected to the story.
Once I got past that, I devoured the rest of this story in 2 days. I couldn’t put it down, cursing the families of Keeli and Wyatt and wanting to make sure their happily ever after came to light despite everything they were up against!
If you are looking for a drama filled, well written story to grip your attention, look no further!

This is a wonderful love story. Poor girl from the farm comes to Chicago to market her jewelry she designs Working for a jeweler that stealing her designs she quits. Leaving the building in a slow elevator she meets the CEO of a real estate conglomerate who she has a crush on. She loses her balance when the crowded elevator jerks falling on the CEO with her hand grabbing his crotch Red with embarrassment as she’s leaving he caresses her neck and wraps a red curl on her head around his finger. The Story Begins. Enjoy

I thought this was a well written story with decent character development. Trust issues and self-worth abound. I was all in until about 80%. I felt like the reason for the main characters being held apart was thin, then the resolution happened too quickly. I also thought Keeli accepted Wyatt back into her life way to quickly for everything she had been through. Up to that point in the story I was enthralled. I will read the next book in the series.

This was my first outing with Ms. Michael and I did enjoy the story. It's got everything a Cinderella story needs-- a rich bachelor, a conniving ex, and a beautiful girl struggling to make it as a jewelry designer. I admit I was apprehensive at first-- not ANOTHER Cinderella story in a contemporary setting, but I really enjoyed this steamy ride. An excellent kickoff to Ms. Michael's series!

Long winded
Kelee came off as naive woman with very low self esteem/self worth, while Wyatt seemed snobbish and emotionally immature. Overall a poor attempt.

Cute love story
This story was more about the chase and over coming the elite societies snobby rules. It was interesting how they finally ended up together. A good love story!

This was a treasure of a romance. Romance is typically not my genre, but Bedazzled grabbed my attention and held it. The story flows easily as the writing is smooth, peppy and engaging. The characters are a delight -- real and fun. The chemistry between the heroine and hero sizzles and in some scenes is downright steamy. All these elements come together to make an immensely enjoyable novel.

A great, easy read romance. A Cinderella story of KIeeli Larsen, a pretty much broke jewelry designer who falls for Wyatt Lyons Howe IV, a handsome, very rich man in his family's real estate dynasty. Then there is the perfect woman from another wealthy family that the family expects him to marry and she does too.
