Blurb
You know how Cinderella had the whole glass slipper, pumpkin carriage, fairy godmother thing?
Yeah…with foot-destroying stilettos, Uber, and a Twitter horoscope, my life is far from a happily ever after.
In fact, instead of Prince Charming, I end up dating every slimy, scaly, brainless frog in the kingdom of Manhattan. And by frog, I mean all of the stereotypical bad guys that Mom and Lifetime movies warned you about.
The meathead player.
The mommy's boy.
The namedropper.
The cheapskate.
If they suck at relationships, I’ve probably kissed those cold, clammy lips in the hopes of finding love. Until one day, when one man with commitment issues offers to help me find the Romeo to my Juliet.
But what happens when the frog, who was never supposed to turn into a prince, kisses you at midnight? Ok fine, he propositioned me for some afternoon delight after brunch, but not everything can be straight out of a fairytale.

Review
Did your mom or some other older woman in your life ever
tell you that you’ll have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your
prince? Mine did. Unfortunately, it took moving to a bigger
pond before I found my frog prince. So
the premise of this book certainly tickled my funny bone. And then with her trademark humor, Carrie
Aarons continued to entertain and amuse me throughout the book. There was plenty of witty banter, dating
shenanigans and humor woven into this tale of a single girl’s adventure in
today’s dating world.
I loved Gemma. She’s
witty, bold and independent. Her
observations about dating, sex and men had me in stitches at times. And her brush offs were great. Oliver is nerdy, commitment-phobic and
successful. But this isn’t another alpha
millionaire story. No insta-love,
insta-connection here. These two jump
into a no-strings attached affair. This
is a slow burn story. Both Gemma and
Oliver are beautifully developed characters.
They each have their own strengths, weaknesses and backstories. The secondary characters are pretty great
too. I’d love to see some of them get
their own books.
I loved how true to real life this is. No amazing, out of the worlds sex right off
the bat. The whole book felt really
genuine and authentic and it only made me love it more. There was a small amount of drama but not
super angsty. If you are looking for a
fun, sexy romance to read I would highly recommend this one. It’s definitely going on my re-read shelf. -Peace and Love, Buxom J
