Bookshop Cinderella

By: Laura Lee Guhrke

Narrated by: Marisa Calin

Fans of Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn will adore this opposites-attract romance featuring a dashing duke, a shy bookshop owner, and a wager that will change their lives forever.

Evie Harlow runs a quaint little bookshop in London, which is the biggest adventure an unmarried woman with no prospects could hope for. Until Maximillian Shaw, Duke of Westbourne, saunters into her shop with a proposition: to win a bet with his friends, he’ll turn her into the diamond of the season. The duke might be devilishly attractive, but Evie has no intention of accepting his ludicrous offer. When disaster strikes her shop, however, she’s left with little choice but to let herself be whisked into his high-society world.

Always happy to help a lady in distress, Max thinks he’s saving Evie from her dull spinster’s life. He’ll help her find a husband and congratulate himself on a job well done. But as shy Evie becomes the shining star he always knew she could be, she somehow steals his heart. And when her reputation is threatened, can Max convince her to choose a glittering, aristocratic life with him over the cozy comfort of her bookshop?

Critic reviews

“Laura Lee Guhrke can steam up the pages with nothing more than a kiss on the hand.”—Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Laura Lee Guhrke has a lively style that sizzles."—Jane Feather, New York Times bestselling author

"Engaging prose, witty barbs, and sigh-worthy sensuality make this humorous Victorian charmer an excellent addition to Guhrke's series and a most diverting read."

—Library Journal, starred review, on The Trouble with True Love

Good romance- unexpected turns

Very likable characters, all of them well developed. Story moved and develops, characters grow in love and in understanding. Narrator does a good job with different voices. Not your expected Cinderella plot. Enjoyable.

It was whatever

Pretty run of the mill. Predictable. Kinda lifeless characters. Just all around meh. I liked Delia tho.

The characters and the story .

The reader was annoying. She spoke normally and then emphasize the last word or words several times I was considering to not finish reading the book.

Stunning!

This was one of my first audio books and just like a normal book I couldn’t put it down! I found myself walking around with headphones so enthralled by the story. I laughed, I cried, I yelled at the characters when they were stupid. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Thank you

Dissapointed

Great story but no mention of the sexual scenes. It didn’t need them and there was no warning that they were in there. Please note that so others don’t have to deal with skipping sections so they can get on with the actual story.
