Anthony and Reece may not seem like the ideal match, but each of them thinks of the other as his fantasy man. Too bad real life (and excruciating shyness) keep intruding. Their story is one that made me smile – getting them together with a somewhat unconventional twist to a charity auction was a nice variation on the ‘bid for your man’ concept.

Anthony is far too shy for his own good. His low self esteem is even getting in the way of noticing Reece’s interest. While I felt sorry for him on the one hand, I also thought he was overdoing it without much good reason (that I could see). At least he knows what he wants and, in the end, has enough brain cells left to make the right decision.

Reece knows exactly what he wants, but has no idea how to approach Anthony without scaring him away. I can’t believe it took him two years to make it happen, but when he does the result is pretty spectacular. In many ways the two deserve each other – while Reece isn’t shy, he is definitely not decisive either.

This story is another installment of the successful and fun One Night Stands series. Featuring two main characters who can’t quite seem to manage getting together on their own, this story was one of the more difficult challenges for Madame Eve, who runs the matchmaking service. If you like reading about two men who do not seem like the ideal couple at first glance, have an age gap to deal with, and aren’t the outgoing type, you may like this story.

Look at me, I tried something new! *applauds* Well, in the end it was not "new", whether it's a man and a woman or two women, they are still all just people falling in love :) (still "new" for me ;)

This was a f/f Cinderella story. Ellie, poor thing, honestly evil stepmums, you all need a kick in the bum. But at least she has two friends, a cat and a mouse. Yup, that is how sad her life is. In comes her prince Charming, make that Lady Kristina who has been staying in Finland for a while (which brings me to the reason why I had to read this book.) And the Cinderella theme is always there, just different twists and it works so well.

I should also mention that there is also a side storyline, an m/m one, just saying. I will not spill the beans, you will see.

The bad guy is not always the one you think either. And here we got one creepy one, again, read and find out. Kind of charming creepy that you just want to back way from at once.

Conclusion:
A nice change to a familiar story. Cinderella always finds her happy ending.

I was fortunate to receive a copy of this from the author to read. First things first what I did like. Ms. Grant has a way of making her characters real and engaging. I couldn't help but enjoy each character individually. I did however sometimes feel I was missing something. I think there was a book written before this one that might have been helpful to read before Red Hot Chance...the story was readable but the whole time I had a feeling I missed something.

The only thing I did have a problem with was one of the sensual scenes. The emotions didn't line up, the character went from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other and it threw me out of the story.

For a short read this book is very sexy and the characters will leave you wanting more.… (más)
