Brandon Stone was after Angel McKenzie’s company. He wanted to buy her out, but she didn’t want to sell her family business. Especially not to Brandon as his family was her family’s enemy.
Yet, she could feel the chemistry flare between them and it was addictive. Dare she date her family’s enemy?
HIS SHY CINDERELLA WED is a sweet romance that would make a reader sigh with bliss. Author Kate Hardy brought out the shimmering emotions in this story that would keep a reader hooked to the pages until the end. And she did a wonderful job of bringing Brandon and Angel together despite all the family issues they had.
This was a nice story but nothing to write home about. I mistakenly thought it was set in the U. S. not the UK and I'm not a big fan of foreign settings. Still, the characters were likeable enough and there was a lot about race cars and auto manufacturing I found interesting. You could tell the author did her homework. It was just the little differences I didn't care for like calling mom mum and a diaper a nappy. But that's just me. Someone else might get more out of it.
