If the Fairy Tale Fits (Book 3)
A CHANCE TO LET HER HAIR DOWN!
Rina longs for independence, but she's indebted to the
overprotective aunt who raised her. When tycoon Connor arrives to acquire her
family's company, she sees an opportunity to escape with him on a business trip
to India. Their desire ignites the second they arrive! Yet Rina soon learns
that commitment-phobe Connor's life is as complicated as hers. Can the spark
between them last beyond their temporary adventure?
Interesting Rapunzel-style romance. Rina's parents died
when she was ten, so her Aunt Maria raised her. Rina and Maria are the only
family each other has, and Maria has become super protective of Rina. They
rarely leave their small Swiss town, though Rina longs to travel. Rina and
Maria own a company that is famous for its haircare products. Rina is the
developer of these products. I ached for Rina. She feels guilty about her need
to get away because she loves her aunt and wants to keep her happy.
Connor arrives in their town to talk to Maria about
acquiring her company. He travels constantly for his work, bringing back
unpleasant childhood memories. His
father couldn't keep a job, so they were continually moving. If Connor successfully
acquires this company, he will have earned a promotion that allows him to limit
his travels.
Connor and Rina met accidentally several days before his
scheduled meeting with Maria. They have an immediate connection, but Rina is a
little wary since she has limited experience with strangers. But she is also friendly
and adventurous, so she offers to show Connor around the area. Connor is drawn
to Rina's joy in everything she experiences. There are sparks of attraction
that both attempt to ignore. A relationship between them is impossible. Connor won't
allow himself to get close to anyone, preferring to protect himself. Rina knows
that her place is with her aunt. Both are shocked when they discover they are
connected through the business, which endangers their connection.
When Rina finds out Connor's next stop is India, her
mother's birthplace, she is determined to accompany him. Connor is less than
enthusiastic, as he is having enough trouble resisting his attraction to her. It
was fun to see Rina's determination against Connor's resistance - it was pretty
obvious what the outcome would be. I loved their time in India. Rina learned
about her past, Connor experienced a different perspective on traveling, and
both learned a little about themselves. Their attraction continued to grow, but
along with it was a feeling that hoping for more was impossible. I hurt for
them both when the trip was over, and they had to part.
The following weeks and months were difficult as Connor
and Rina came to terms with their feelings and tried to find their way to the
future. Friendship was possible, but not enough for what they both felt. I
liked watching Rina stretch her wings as her relationship with her aunt
changed. Connor also took some surprising steps that altered his life. I loved
his big moment at the end. It was sweet, romantic and emotional. The epilogue
was a terrific follow-up with a peek into their lives a few years later.
