Cinderella? Pffft. She had it easy.

Single mom Gwynneth Jacobs knows there's no such thing as happily ever after. She learned that lesson the hard way. So when Hollywood's sexiest heartthrob comes to her rescue (twice), she suffers no delusions. He's not her Prince Charming, and romance has no place in her reality. Now, if only she could convince her heart to stop beating a little faster every time he's near ...

A-list actor Gareth Connor knows what he wants, and that's Gwyn--in his life and in his bed, forever. Breaking down the walls the stubborn, fiercely independent beauty has put up around her heart, however, proves to be a bigger challenge than he anticipated. But if Gwyn thinks he's going to give up and walk away without putting up the fight of a lifetime... well, she needs to think again.

Then a secret from Gareth's past threatens to destroy the fragile trust he's started to build with Gwyn, and it looks like he might lose her after all. Can he convince her to leave the pain of her past behind and take a shot at love? Or is their fairy tale destined to play out like a Hollywood tragedy?

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet romance

Sometimes you need a heartfelt, sighing, sweet romance, and this is book fits the bill perfectly. This is such a satisfying romance, and as a bonus, features several very realistic children characters.

Children characters in romance books tend to be either absent or seriously stereotyped. The children in this book are very much fully developed and realistic, and add a touch of homey amusement to the story. It made the romance that much sweeter because it felt possible.

Gwyn’s situation was realistic and believable, and while meeting a hunky movie star isn’t very believable, it is the stuff of dreams, and romance stories. I really loved everything about this book and it made a great fantasy getaway as my weekend read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cinderella dream come true story

Love this book it is awesome it's just shows that dreams can come true. Most people never think they will meet a movie star at a local play in some no name town it just doesn't happen. Then to have the same movie star to be there to rescue you time and time again. What movie star would actually do that I don't know of many. I love how no matter what happens he seems to always be there to take care of her and help her with her 3 yes I said 3 kids. All the while trying to deal with his own family problem. This book is such a good read and I couldn't put it down at all. Now I'm on to book 2 in the series I will post how it is when I finish it. Linda Poietevin I am amazed at your writing style it is extraordinary.

3.0 out of 5 stars Single Mom + Hollywood Star...
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020

It’s tough to write a romance featuring a single mother of three young kids. I applaud Poitevin’s balancing act in that regard, although I felt the story tipped into too much of the mundane motherhood tasks at times (sick kids!), at the expense of the romance, which then felt less… sexy (for lack of a better word).

Yes, Gareth is a famous actor, but aside from having to leave for a few days and one scene when his daughter is hounded by paparazzi, he could have been John Doe. His big secret is one that any man could have. That was slightly disappointing; if I’m reading a celebrity character, I want more immersion in his/her celebrity world. He was a little too good to be true with the kids and the chaos, especially considering he was still single at age 42.

There is such a thing as *too* much “won’t take no for an answer” and it was nearing the tipping point for me by getting redundant and annoying, making Gareth a little too wimpy and whiny. I kept waiting for the kids to say or do something to make Gwynneth realize she should give their romance a chance (that would have been more interesting than the way she did). But happily, the heroine makes a grand gesture at the end to obtain the HEA.

The more I read I seem to get a little pickier. I really liked the book but I have a hard time selecting I loved it. I have to reserve the five stars for those books I absolutely love. Gwynn is a good character, loves her children but even after being hurt, which isn't really addressed that much in the book, she is still a shy, simple woman. I wish the author had delved into her failed marriage a bit more than she did. It really did make Gwynn into the person she was and if we had more than a snapshot into her past I think it would have helped with the storyline. Gareth on the other hand felt more connected to his character. He was a star but the person we saw was just your normal everyday guy who was visiting his friend. His persona was exactly who he seemed to be where as Gwynn had her husband walk out on her with newborn twins but we never saw the hurt or the anger or the feeling of being overwhelmed. Any or all of those three would have added to her character. Other than her not wanting to be in a relationship we never saw any emotion. Sure she was shy and awkward but wouldn't anyone be around a 'star'? If he had been a regular person I think she would have been the same. *Spoiler** And to have her husband come back after a year, with his girlfriend, all because she wanted to see his kids? Seriously? I would have slammed the door in the jerks face. But not Gwynn, she lets them visit. That was probably the most difficult part I had with her. He doesn't pay child support and she lets him in the house? Maybe it's just me but that alone made Gwynn seem weak where she was strong in all other aspects in her life and with her kids, her friends and her work.
There is a HEA but it does come about rather rushed. I wish the author had developed the ending more as well.

Divorce's biggest harm is it hurts the children most because they are often ignored. This is a wonderful story of two divorced adults with opposite situations and fears concerning their children which clouds their attraction to each other. Fears, indecision, and confusion of facts and feelings makes this a very good book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was great tension between the characters, a work-at-home mom, three young children and a hunk of a movie star. Put these all together and emotions run riot.

This book is wonderfully written with a believable cast and physical detail that brings the settings to life. I could smell the wood smoke and cedar. Having raised two sons I could identify with the domestic scenes and emergencies. Since I live in Ottawa many of the landmarks were familiar, which added even further to my enjoyment.

I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read another of Linda Poitevin's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful opening to a great series
Reviewed in Germany on May 5, 2015

After receiving the third book as ARC by the publisher and devouring it fast I was left with the need to discover the beginning of this story and to find out if the book I just read was a “one hit wonder” or the real deal.
Therefore, after jumping to amazon and getting my own copy of the first books, I dove in and I have to say I was not disappointed.

The first books of the series were as good as the third one promised and I can only encourage every potential reader to read the books in the right order. It may not have killed me to know what would happen but it still would have been nice to get it in the right sequence. And (spoiler alert) I am sure the ending of the second book would have been cruel if I had not known about the third book already. And NO it’s not a cliffhanger – well at least not one of the usual kind. #wicked smile#. You need to read for yourself to find out.

The storyline is sweet and the writing is again flawless and fluent. The characters are wonderful so that you will fall in love with them eventually. And it was a wonderful idea to write the second book to basically complete the first one even further and create a bridge to the third one. I am usually not a big fan of those ” Point5 “ books as I call them but in this case it was useful and really helped the story.

This series is a good and solid read and I can fully recommend it. I will have to keep an eye on this author as I am very interested to read more.

What a lovely read.
Not only did I enjoy the story .... which made me giggle .... and also shed a tear.
The book was also perfectly edited. I wasn't aware of one mis-spelt word, or typing error.
There are children in this book, and for a change they are believable, which for me increased my enjoyment of the story. For a change I wasn't muttering ' as if ' to myself.
I hope this author doesn't stop at this book and treats us to more romances.
I'm keeping an eye out of her next release. I hope I won't have to wait too long.
