Love has taken a back seat because her past has put her off relationships for good.

So when she meets a man who might be a little bit dangerous, someone she's finally close to loving, is there anyone to tell her what a terrible mistake she's making?
Will Samantha find her happy ever after? And if her carefully hidden past comes into the light,will her fairytale coach turn back into a pumpkin?
Samantha Sharp needs to find a way to cling onto her sparkle ...

I purchased this book on Amazon after it came up as a recommendation.
I was hesitant at first due to its childish and strange cover but it sounded like a good holiday read, so I tried it.
It had so many twists and turns, and I found myself gasping at most of them! Sam Sharp is a no nonsense 'superagent,' who knows how to stand on her own two feet, which is inspiring and nice to read in books. Sam reminded me of a modern Elizabeth Bennett...outspoken, gutsy and careful about falling too quickly in love.
Great book that keeps you guessing and wanting more!

Fast-moving, sassy, sharp and sexy - this is Alison Bond's best book yet. It's a real page-turner and very hard to put down. Full of escapism fun, it's definitely one to pack for your holidays!
I do agree with the previous comments about the cover. It is really incongruous with the content. This is not a light and fluffy typical chick-lit book. It's big and bold with a central character who is ballsy. I also love the fact it's a football book, not that football plays a huge role, but it is the backdrop to the story and with the World Cup coming up, it actually feels relevant.
Cover aside, it is a fab book and I 100% recommend.

... this has to be it! Totally agree with all the other reviewers about the cover. It really doesn't convey a sense of what the story is about at all, and neither, it has to be said, does the title. There is nothing remotely Cinderella-ish about Samantha Sharpe whatsoever, and why the cover portrays a pink shoe-clad foot appearing out of a fairly tale coach completely escapes me. Fluffy chick lit it ain't (not that there's anything wrong with fluffy chick lit!). What you get is a reasonably gritty story about a woman who has fought tooth and nail to escape what was a very disadvantaged start in life to become a superagent for would-be football stars of the future. The tale romps along at a fair rate of knots; we meet a variety of characters along the way, including a young footballer with oodles of potential, a jailbird brother, and the dynamic boss of Legends, the agency Sam works for - and not forgetting a somewhat sinister Russian oligarch. All of this is packaged up into a very readable book, with a neat twist at the end.
So, if you're looking for a rattlingly good holiday read, this one's for you. If you're looking for hearts and flowers romance, leave this one on the shelf!

A rip-roaring romp!
A Reluctant Cinderella is Alison Bond's best book yet! It is a proper bonkbuster in the tradition of Jackie Collins or Judith Krantz, brought bang up to date. Read more

A super book let down by a bad cover, title and blurb
Samantha Sharp is a football agent, and a very good one at that. She's worked hard to get to the top in a male oriented world, and it's finally paying off. Read more

Don't judge this book by the insipid cover!
Don't quite know why this book has been marketed as the kind of story that deserves to lurk behind the pastel coach and four on the cover... Read more
