Every girl deserves a fairytale. I just didn’t expect mine to happen at that summer festival and definitely not with a rock star.
My life hasn’t turned out the way I’d hoped.
My wonderful dad died and left everything to my wicked stepmother.
Now I’m working endless shifts at his old diner and living above her garage.
And when she makes me work instead of going to that summer festival, I think my dreams can’t get any further away.
But then I meet a charming guy who is so into me.
He whisks me away to the music festival, and I have the time of my life.
Only when midnight strikes, my mystery man takes to the stage to perform.
Holy sh!t, he’s really a rock star.
And clearly I never knew him at all.
Insta-love flares fast in this modern day Cinderella story! I really enjoyed both main characters in this Holiday Mode novella from Gillian Archer. It’s short, and takes place mostly over a one day period, so there’s not a lot of deep development of either the characters or their relationship, but it’s fun and it’s exhilarating and there’s a good bone structure to a relationship by the end. I recommend this story to anyone who wants a quick read that will nab your attention quickly and have you turning page after page to see how it’s all going to play out. Sweet, sexy and sinful!
