Cinderella's Millionaire: Dynasties: The Barones

it was an ok read i like it but it is one of those story that won't be remembered you'll forget all about it within a week .. but still a nice simple story

This was a lovely little story with fairy tale implications as a young working woman actually snags the millionaire prince charming. Of course the `charming' part is loosely defined as this prince charming, Joe Barone, CFO of the famous Baronessa Gelateria has walled up his emotions since the death of his wife some five years earlier. He has feelings of failure that he could not save her and drives himself relentlessly in work rather than take another chance on love and being hurt. Holly is delightful, energetic and bright, she works a couple of jobs in a bakery as a pastry chef and is the glue that has held her father and brothers together since the age of eighteen when her mom died. She crosses paths with Joe when she wins a recipe contest for a new flavor gelato for Baronessa. The moment Joe sees her he is reminded of his dearly departed wife and is ready to run, but Holly going against her better judgement, and speaking before thinking, challenges him in ways he cannot turn down. Before you know it though, he makes her an offer that `Cinderella' would be a fool to refuse!The reader definitely will really enjoy this short romantic novel. I especially loved the honesty that pops right out of Holly's mouth and the sexual innuendo's from the handsome Italian stallion - Joe Barone who utters too much of his hidden desires before he has a chance to `put a lid on it.' Being from New England, I loved all the references to our famous city of Boston as well! Short and sweet, sexy and sassy - what more could you ask for in a nice little sensual romance just perfect for a day at the beach!
