UK authors write slightly differently than Americans, so while some of the characters weren't exactly what I expected, it is probably due to the slight cultural difference.

Set in Australia, so that was different. But, the characters stayed in character, and because it is non-American, there was a lot less of the extra drama some American writers seem to like putting into simple, everyday situations.

Strong heroine. The only thing I didn't care for was the keeping secrets of her past for a 'surprise reveal' practically at the end of the book. That's annoying. Just reveal the secrets, and make the dealing with them part of the plot. Makes for a stronger plot, and less of the constant wondering, "Well, good grief, why would they do THAT??!"

Overall tho, a good read. One which I will probably read again.Show Less

Good Promising outline

Promising outline but the story wasn't flushed out well. Super cheesy, poor dialogue, too fast pacing, and unrealistic actions by the characters.

    Same storyline, Different Author

    The grammar and editing was God awful! The storyline is
    really good in theory, but the writer butchered it. Tizzy really just started to become annoying, Grant was weak, and Branson was creepy and pushy! There was a line said by Grant, "Becky, girl,...". I dont know any convincingly straight guy that says "girl". I tried so hard to like it but i couldnt push myself to continue past pg 176. It came to the point where i didnt even care what happened to the characters.

    Ridiculous story!

    Poorly written and ridiculous. It should be in the humor section because it actually made me laugh out loud several times!

    Wonderful Love Story

    If you can get past the grammatical errors and overlook how some parts seemed a bit rushed, you will truly enjoy this wonderfully romantic Cinderella story. The author should get some help editing and re-release, as the storyline is great.

    Sweet romance

    Loved the story and characters. Some editing is still needed regarding punction, spelling, and grammer.

    Recommend for the romance readers everywhere.

    I really enjoyed this book because I did not guess at the beginning how it would end. If you have ever felt like the girl no one would date this is a feel good book. It made me want to meet these people and tell them how nice they were. It also shows that some people in this world will still work hard and not complain. I hope to read more books by this writer. Loved the book from beginning to end!

    Edit, please!

    This book was so badly in need of proper editing that I couldn't even finish it. There wasn't anything new or different about the story that the lack of editing made it a waste of time to read.

    Good

    This story was really cute but sad. I love the concept but it was very predictable which is not always a bad thing. Few swear words about one every four chapters. Only a reference to intamacy and cute characters enjoy.

    Nice read

    Yes so the editing was not perfect. It was not as bad as some have portrayed it to be. Especially for a "free" read. The story was nice and easy to follow. I for one enjoyed it for the romance and message.
