Book Description

1 Nov 2005

Single twentysomething seeks Prince Charming.

Those without royal castles need not apply.

Inspired by a famous talk show host to "live her best life," out-of-work tech writer Katy Orville flies off to London to find the man of her dreams. But in order to catch a prince, she has to shed her all-American girl image and transform herself into a hip, fashionable heiress. Can she really pull it off? Will she?

At a society wedding, it seems like a dream come true when a handsome man in a formal kilt begins a hot pursuit, clearly smitten with Katy. Unfortunately, Will Eland is more interested in rebuilding some old estate in the countryside than in partying with the aristos -- how can she be attracted to Mr. Handyman when she's looking for a nobleman? But appearances can be deceiving, as Katy well knows. Sometimes a prince is disguised as a pauper -- and sometimes an ordinary bloke is really a duke. And she hopes that playing make-believe hasn't ruined her chance for happily ever after....

5.0 out of 5 stars Whimsical, sensual, and laugh out loud funny! 1 Sep 2005
By M. Rondeau - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In this contemporary gem of a Cinderella like story, Katy Orville, an unemployed tech writer, has traveled to London hoping to meet her own real life `prince charming'.

On her very first day she meets up with a hunky, yet slightly unkempt Londoner dressed in a kilt, whom after a misconstrued conversation SHE pegs as a farmer. Uh, oh -- not her `prince charming'. When she next meets him on the steps of a church, HE ASSUMES she has been invited to the same wedding he's attending and so she innocently, grabs the perfect opportunity to crash the wedding as the hunk's date.

Through a series of miss-adventures and mistaken identities, with Katy herself being mistaken for a high-tech heiress, she gets a real taste of the highborn aristocrats of British society. Though she keeps running into the very attractive Will Eland, her friend, the `organic farmer', try as she might she finds it difficult to fight the attraction. When the truth finally comes out on both Will and Katy's true identities - it takes the stroke of what seems like a `fairy godmother' to help them find a fairy tale ending!

*** Is there anything more I can say to entice you other than this was a totally delightful read? Both Katy and Will were immensely real and completely likeable, including Will's dog Sadie. Whimsical, sensual, laugh out loud funny, and sweetly romantic are all adjectives one can use in describing this `must read' for those looking for a wonderful modern day romantic tale. This is recommended reading for the Cinderella in all of us. You simply will not be able to put it down!

3.0 out of 5 stars Annoying leading character!!! 30 Oct 2005
By Crushes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Katy Orville is an umemployed tech writer, and heads to England to "find her best self." She meets this tall, muscled, handsome farmer that right away expresses his attraction to her, but she's holding out for something more. Will the farmer, who is really a duke, has a slender, playboy jerk of a cousin who pursues Katy to annoy Will. Time and again Katy, with her insecure, seeking-to-belong self, goes out with Trevor, the cousin, because she can't get over wanting to be in the "in" crowd. The writing is good, and the storyline is entertaining, but I cannot sympathize with this irritating twenty-four year old that's stuck in a "high school" need to fit in. I would have rated this book higher had I liked Katy even a little bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars humorous chick lit romance 26 Aug 2005
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Seattle, her social life was already in the tank when she lost her job as a technical writer at WxyTech. Katy Orville needs someone to talk to, but cannot afford a psychiatrist. So she does what many poor Americans do, she ponders what would Oprah do. Since Katy cannot consult with Oprah, she turns to the website of her goddess for advice.

Later Katy dreams of Oprah advising her that you have only one short time so it is important to live life to the fullest. Katy interprets the sage advice to mean she should fulfill her fantasy by flying to London to find Prince Charming. At a family wedding, he did not want to attend Will Eland meets the crazy Yank. She thinks he is her Prince Charming while he believes she is an heiress who is the answer to saving his organic gardening business. The passion between them is an added bonus to both of them who believe they found what they need at last. Not long after love begins to blossom, scandal erupts as the tabloids expose Katy as a sham after title and wealth.

Though Katy's behavior is rationalized as caused by her fear of poverty, readers will still shake their heads at her placing Oprah on Olympus above Dear Abby in the advice pantheon and her grasping for the glass slipper until they get to know her. Still Lisa Cach's fine tongue in cheek modern day retelling of Cinderella is delightful.. Her antics makes the tale amusing and fun to follow as she and her Prince Charming do not have a smooth coach ride to happily ever after. Ms. Cach provides a humorous chick lit romance.
