If the Slipper Fits

by Elaine Fox

Book Overview

Anne Sayer learned long ago that fairy tales don't come true.

The Slipper DOES Fit

I loved this book...it was a quick read and a perfect escape on a lazy summer day. Sit back, put your feet up and enjoy!

Light, Funny, Romantic -- A+

I read this book in one day on the beach and completely loved it. Elaine Fox always delivers smart, witty heroines and sexy heros, but I particularly enjoyed the banter between the two of them in this book.

Another great Elaine Fox!

This book is very funny. Yeah, the set-up is a little familiar, but the plot is fresh and fun and I found the chemistry between Connor and Anne to be pretty sizzly. It's not Fox's best book but it's still better than most everything out there!

charming second chance at love

Years ago, reticent commoner Anne Sayer and wealthy heir Connor Emory fell in love on Candlewick Island, Maine. However, with no reason as far as Connor can tell, Annie abruptly terminates their relationship. A hurt Connor flees the island never to return until the recent death of his father left him in charge of the vast family business holdings including the Sea Bluff Inn on Candlewick.Anne surprises Connor, as she seems mature and confident in her abilities to perform as an event coordinator unlike the shy person he knew and loved. He also is disgusted with himself because though he does not rust her he still desires her with all his heart. Still he refuses to make any overtures as he will not allow his heart to be battered, but Anne is no longer the timid person who let her beloved get away. Somehow she knows this Cinderella must earn her Prince Charming's trust and eventually explain what happened to destroy their first relationship.IF THE SLIPPER FITS is a charming second chance at love retelling of the Cinderella story. The lead characters are a delightful duo especially Connor who learns the truth about the undermining of his beloved. Though Anne's assured nature seems stretched following what she endured from so called loved ones; fans will enjoy Elaine Fox's modernization of Cinderella.Harriet Klausner
