Bookshop Cinderella by Laura Lee Guhrke
fast-paced
5.0
Evie Harlow runs a run-down bookshop in London. When Max, Duke of Westbourne, makes her an offer to turn her into a society lady, she refuses but is forced to reconsider when disaster strikes her shop.
This is more of a My Fair Lady story than Cinderella; Max only makes his offer because of a bet. Evie is turned into a diamond, and like Henry Higgins, Max is the one who falls in love. It's a great retelling with interesting characters, both main and side. Max is divorced, which adds some scandal to his efforts. Evie is shy but willing to follow her dreams despite her anxieties. It's a fun story as the pair work through the complications and disasters of their joint endeavors. Another great story from Ms. Guhrke.
