My
Review:
It’s an upcoming debut book from Jadesola James!
I was so absorbed into this another version of Cinderella with unusual heroine
whom I simply adore. A handsome brooding hero, Laurence is going to attend a
gala in a lavish hotel then he spots a familiar pretty woman, Kitty Asare, in
the same dining room having extravagant dinner alone. Waiting for his mutual
girlfriend while having dinner, Laurence doesn’t realize that he is discarded
by her when he needs her to deal with his intended business.Kitty
has to join the gala in order to gain lifetime supporters for her foundation
despite her demurral. I love how the author, Jadesola defines Kitty as the real
Cinderella. Kitty is physically and sexually attractive that Laurence can’t
stop scrutinizing her during dinner, she is very intelligent, poor, fiercely
independent, kind-hearted, witty and funny. She sets up the foundation for
youths so that they can forge their own life in the future.
When
Kitty warmly greets Laurence to start finding supporters, he immediately asks
her to leave because she charges her extravagant dinner into his room (I told
you she is very intelligent and funny) yet both Kitty and Laurence apparently have
clear and close connection in the past that I kept wondering what it was until
an accident happens upon them which Kitty kindly safes Laurence’s life and
their past reveals gradually (I’m not
giving you more spoiler). Feeling compelled to pay the debt, Laurence offers Kitty
to be his fake girlfriend which she instantaneously refuses but after proposing
Kitty will gain an expeditious access finding donation for her foundation, she
accepts.
To
be frank I love the author’s writing. Despite a debut book, it wanders into
something which I had never read before, (because I’m a bit picky at reading).
She helps me understand how foster kids from other states have to live, how
detail the food is with its obvious explanation (hmm, so tempting), how
Laurence obtains his business through stories and more important how steamy the
relationship between Laurence and Kitty is until some dramatic traumas appear
and they end up hurting each other but don’t worry, happily-ever-after is
guaranteed here!
Redeemed
by his New York Cinderella has special compelling multicultural story which
wrapped into steamy, pleasant and funny relation between the characters that
amuses me over and over. Thank you, Jadesola James, for this ARC which I
voluntary reviewed. I really recommend it!
