Bookshop Cinderella | Laura Lee Guhrke
4 posts | 4 read
Fans of Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn will adore this opposites-attract romance featuring a dashing duke, a shy bookshop owner, and a wager that will change their lives forever. Evie Harlow runs a quaint little bookshop in London, which is the biggest adventure an unmarried woman with no prospects could hope for. Until Maximillian Shaw, Duke of Westbourne, saunters into her shop with a proposition: to win a bet with his friends, hell turn her into the diamond of the season. The duke might be devilishly attractive, but Evie has no intention of accepting his ludicrous offer. When disaster strikes her shop, however, shes left with little choice but to let herself be whisked into his high-society world. Always happy to help a lady in distress, Max thinks hes saving Evie from her dull spinsters life. Hell help her find a husband and congratulate himself on a job well done. But as shy Evie becomes the shining star he always knew she could be, she somehow steals his heart. And when her reputation is threatened, can Max convince her to choose a glittering, aristocratic life with him over the cozy comfort of her bookshop?

A delightful story perfect for me as I am still recovering from a reading slump.

Imagine the film "She's All That" set in turn of the century England with a bookish twist. With playful and witty back and forth between the two, you will find yourself completely immersed in the opposites attract story of Evie and Max and they listen to their hearts. Side note: I need a book about Delia next!!

This book doesn‘t take itself too seriously in regards to historical accuracy, but it does a great job of taking a She‘s All That story and making it less ridiculous.
Evie owns a book shop and does research for clients on the side, which leads her to a run in with a Duke and his rude charges who bet him that he can make Evie into a sought after debutant. Max sets out to prove them wrong and Evie is a full participant.
4/5 stars.

I decided to give this one a go when I saw it in the new releases at my library. I prefer contemporary rom-coms when I read romance so a historical romance is something different for me. The heroine, Evie, is more Eliza Doolittle than Cinderella. The plot will be familiar to you. Others have compared the story with She‘s All That and I agree. Overall this is a predictable, breezy, escapist read.
