  <default_description>What happens when your Prince Charming turns out not to be so charming after all? In &lt;i&gt;To Have and To Hold&lt;/i&gt;, bestselling author Jane Green offers a sizzling, highly entertaining look at romantic relationships after we say &amp;#8220;I do.&amp;#8221; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Alice knows she should be happy. A charming twenty-eight-year-old with a successful catering business, she&amp;#8217;s always dreamed of a rose-covered cottage in the English countryside, filled with children and animals and home-cooked meals. Her favorite attire is comfy jeans, her best manicure features garden dirt under the nails. But when her teenage crush&amp;#8212;the wealthy, dashing man-about-town Joe Chambers&amp;#8212;wants to make her his bride, Alice is more than willing to play Cinderella to Joe&amp;#8217;s prince. Never mind that he wants her to change&amp;#8212;a diet, ice-blond highlights, stilettos, snooty gallery openings&amp;#8212;and that he&amp;#8217;s allergic to nature and kids. She tells herself she&amp;#8217;s happy to sacrifice for love, and besides, with Joe&amp;#8217;s stunning good looks and high-profile career at a top financial firm, every woman in London wants to be in her shoes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But that&amp;#8217;s just the problem.  Despite Alice&amp;#8217;s efforts to be the perfect wife, Joe soon reveals a penchant for being hopelessly unfaithful. When a notorious indiscretion with a female colleague forces Joe to transfer to New York, Alice&amp;#8217;s life turns upside down. As Joe continues to sneak around, and her best friend&amp;#8217;s beau offers a tempting glimpse of what real love could be like, Alice must decide how much Cinderella she can take before her deepest desires win out&amp;#8212;and if she can summon up the courage to find real happiness on her own. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Delicious, witty, and packed with sparkling sex appeal, &lt;i&gt;To Have and To Hold&lt;/i&gt; is an unputdownable read that will have you rooting out loud for its endearing heroine. A #1 bestseller in Britain, this latest tale from the beloved, utterly winning Jane Green proves that the search for true love doesn&amp;#8217;t always end when someone dons a veil, and offers a lively, refreshing take on modern marriage.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was fabulous.  It was a great story of what happens when Prince Charming turns out to be a toad.  Alice thought that Joe Chambers was the perfect man, but he has a wandering eye.  Even though he molds her into his ideal woman, he  can't help but test out greener pastures.  Alice loves her ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75888103">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read one book by Jane Green that I loved, but everyone since then has been just okay and this is a &quot;just okay&quot; book.  It was somewhat entertaining, but pretty predictable.  And the Joe character is such a slimeball, you just want to ask Alice why she would even be interested in the first...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62978085">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a new author for me.  The story is very modern and lite to read.  I cheered when Alice decided to do her own thing.  I was glad that the author did not tie-up all the plots into a happy ever after ending.  I will seek out this author again in the future.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A-; Nice tale or romance and how people can be someone they really aren't for the sake of 'love'. Thankfully everything turns out for Alice in this mostly British story. I enjoy reading books where the story is set in England or the main characters are British. Not sure why, it's just a fun change, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49771911">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Was feeling so proud of myself for getting this from the library...only to discover 30 pages missing from the ending. I think i got the gist of it though.  OK chick lit..feel like there was less of a plot and more of just a theme.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Liked the book.  Was in the mood for something like this.  Felt sorry for Josie.  Also Alice in the beginning.  It was nice to follow the journey through her evolution.  Enjoyed the narrator of the audio book. ]]></body>
