Review: Enjoyable but too short

I picked this book up as a freebie because I have been reading a lot of romances lately.  While the Amazon title indicates it is a romance, it really isn't.  There is a romantic undercurrent in the story but I really didn't think it developed into a plot.  As other reviewers have mentioned, the story is really more along the lines of a fairy tale; there is very little conflict and everything Phred does is terrific and works out for the best (which is not a bad thing but does require a suspension of belief).  The focus is on the character of Phred herself and a few weeks in her life when she finds herself changing careers.I would have preferred that the profanity was not there and I didn't really care for the flashing incident, but in fairness it was germane to the story.  Otherwise, I just wish the story had been longer (nearly 20% of the download is excerpts from the author's other works) and more developed.  The abrupt ending is a bit of a letdown.  By cleaning up the language and expanding on Phred's developing career and her relationships with the men in her life, I think it would make a sweet movie.
