Dear Prince Charming, Once upon a time, Donna Kauffman placed a fairy tale twist on a book about, Valerie Wagner. She can’t be a model because of her height, not artistic enough to be a designer. However, she finally found her niche within the fashion world she loves for the glossy publicist for Glass Slipper, Inc magazine. She's signed up the perfect cover model - Prince Charming- he is an unknown, America's sweetheart, the sexy and sensitive man who's helped millions of women get their man t...more
Very cute book. I have never read Kauffman before but I really enjoyed this book.
While Valerie and Jack are very cute the best relationship is between best friends Jack & Eric. Whoever Kauffman used as a example of friends for Jack & Eric she really hit it on the mark you can't help but smile. That being said Jack and Valerie have a connection they can not seem to sever no matter how much they believe they should. Jack is pretending to be Prince Charming (who is really Eric - but Eric has ...more

Valerie Wagner loves the fashion industry but can't seem to find her place in that world. When she becomes the publicist for the launch of a new magazine, she knows she's finally found her niche. When she convinces popular advice columnist "Dear Prince Charming" (Eric) to publish his column in the new magazine, she plans a huge media event. At the last minute, Eric calls and wants to back out of the media event. He has decided to "come out of the closet" and has a new boyf...more
Valerie Wagner may have stretched the truth a little to get the job with Glass Slipper, Inc., but she was meant for and loves her job with the godmothers. And she had been the ideal employee until she has to keep a huge secret from her employers, a secret that could potentially sink the launch of the new magazine. The alpha male dubbed Prince Charming (a.k.a. Eric has won the hearts of women across the country by giving them outstanding relationship advice. The thing is that he isn’t actu...more
I did not have super high expectations on this book. I got it at the library knowing that I'd read a few of her books before. This book surprised me. Yes, it was a little slow going in the romance department but the story was good and her descriptions were vivid. I could easily picture the Eric and Jack. Parts of the story made me laugh out loud and her description of Gunther was great.
Fun, light read. Entirely predictable - sometimes you really need a good fluff book to read but occasionally they are frustrating when the characters can't see why their plan (or the plot of the book) just is going to fall completely apart at the end. Still - would probably read more of her stuff if in the right mood.
omg this is by far the worst book i have ever read. the narration was horable, the dialog was worse. the dramatic parts was hilarious. this was the first romantic novel i have read and am pretty sure it was my last.
horrible book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
horrible book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my first Kauffman, and I just LOVED this book. I'm a big beach-book reader, and this was another perfect, fun, sexy beach read. I can't wait to read more of her work. Loved the characters!
Strong female character that most would see as inspiring but as you read further in you realize just how scared she is of living life to the fullest. The situation is a little surreal but overall the book was very entertaining.
Cute setup between a publicist and a male advice columnist who advises female lonely-hearts. Nothing is as it seems...
Boring, dry, and uninteresting. It dragged on and on and on. Nothing jumped out at me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. 1/5 stars.
A quick, easy beach read. Predictable plot and some embarrassing dialogue, but light and easy.
Publicist's launch of a new magazine runs into a problem. The solution becomes as big a problem.
sorta smutty in some parts, but a fun story.
it was good and pretty funny at times.
Cute...not my favorite ending.
Here's the thing about this book - it's an easy read. Very easy. I finished it within two hours.
Honestly, it's a pretty decent book with some funny parts. Yes, there could be some more depth to it. And yes, at points it gets a little hokey, but not all books are going to be classics.
It's a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon, if the cable is broken and you've read everything else.

I love the idea of the Glass Slipper Agency, run by three women to help people's dreams come true. Here, they are about to launch a new magazine and this story centers on their publicist. Kauffman gives just enough tweaks to the staples of the genre to give her plots interest and momentum.
An easy, fun read, with a cute twist on an old fairy tale. The plot was simple and could have used more complexity, but the romance factor was great! This was just slightly on the light side of beach reading - I prefer something a little more challenging to think about.
Is this the state of romance in the current society? That the "happily ever after" is a couple who has been dating for 10 months and is maintaining a multiple-continent relationship? In the immortal words of Weekend Update - "Really???"
I am really suprised but I really loved this book. I like the Cinderalla twist she puts in the book and you really fall for the characters. Definately a must read for those that are looking for something light and fun!

The protagonists in this book have to come to grips with their fears and learn to live and to make love a priority. Much better done than the author's early work.
Yes, I know it was fluff but this was really good, well written fluff. I really enjoyed this book. Going to have to look into her other books.
I'm on the fence on whether to give this one a 3 or a 3.5
It was a good easy read. The characters were amusing.

this book is what cait calls a "fluff" read. i couldn't quite get into it, and i abandoned it about halfway...
Was an easy read, typical romance story ending and cute at times. Kinda silly at times but fun to read.
this book was amazing, I read it in about 3 days, it was great!
oh another single girl drama..it was OK
Quick silly read. Basic chick-lit.
Loved all the "glass slipper" series!!
