A clever twist in the Cinderella story!

And, after the ring fits, the prince has one week in which to marry - or abdicate his throne.But when clumsy American heiress, Christina Armstrong, got the ring stuck on her finger, Prince Richard knew he had to get that ring off her pretty finger before anyone found out it fit. Otherwise, wedding plans would be afoot. Christina simply wasn't princess material - and she darned sure wasn't going to be his princess. He wasn't going to let a foolish legend dictate who he would marry.Christina was no more impressed with the prospect of marrying this demanding prince than he was with marrying her. But, try as they might, the ring simply refused to budge. True love, it was said, was the only thing that would release the ring. Richard and Christine made a good team - but could they somehow fall in love before the week was up? Before Richard lost his throne?A clever twist on the Cinderella story, "If The Ring Fits..." is fast, fun, and pure delight. A keeper for sure!

Fairytale to warm any heart!

Wow! What an amazing fairytale. A light-hearted story of two people certain they want marriage - but not to each other. Working together they have such fun on the road to romance, I felt as if I took the journey with them. Hurray for Melissa McClone! I can't wait for her next book.

Lovely, lighthearted fairy tale romance!

When American heiress Christina Armstrong tries on an innocent-looking ring at the ball given for Prince Richard de Thierry's thirtieth birthday, she can't get it off. Which, given the lovely young lady's propensity for disaster, isn't at all surprising. But legend has it the ring's enchanted. . .and that the Prince must marry the woman attached to the finger on which the ring resides within a week, or forfeit the crown. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing, maybe -- after all, while they try everything under the sun to get the ring off, the couple does discover they enjoy each other's company -- except for a minor sticking point: neither wants to marry the other. After a life of suffocating plenty -- but a workaholic father who was never around -- all Christina wants is to find a nice, ordinary guy who'll provide her with a nice, ordinary family life out on a farm somewhere. And as far as Prince Richard is concerned, silly notions of enchanted rings have no place in his plan to drag the tiny kingdom of San Montico into the present. If only he didn't want to kiss her so much. . .IF THE RING FITS is a real charmer, laced with wit and just the right amount of sizzle between the characters for a traditional romance. Enchanting, indeed!
