Luckily, she has Drake to help her untangle the mess that is her life. Will he ensnare her heart in the process?

An Ever After Summer by Toni Shiloh — The employees of In a Bind are terrified of Jean-Luc Thibodeaux, so Bellamy Larson hops on a plane to France to deal with the beastly client. Yet once she arrives, she's convinced he merely needs a friend. Then her heart begins to want ever after, not just one summer.

Gwen and the Three Dates by Teresa Tysinger — Life isn't a romantic movie, but Gwen Lochs is determined to find her leading man. When she joins a cheesy dating site, Gwen agrees to just three dates.

Unkissable by Jaycee Weaver — Reality diva Charlotte Lavigne's on-camera meltdown reminds former teen-TV prince Jaime Reyes exactly why he left Hollywood ten years ago.

MY THOUGHTS

This collection of contemporary retellings of fairy tales was simply enchanting! You fall in love with all the characters in the different stories for different reasons. The idea of the fairy tale is there so you can kind of decipher which story is coming from which fairy tale but they have their own unique twist to make them a bit more interesting for us adults reading them. You will laugh and do that sigh of enchantment when reading a romantic story. You know the one I am talking about. The one that gives you all the warm and fuzzies! 

I definitely recommend this one. This would be a great book to add to your summer stack! So grab yours now!
