Caitlyn does not want to end up like her mother and stepmother(s), heartbroken at the hands of a womanizing, albeit charismatic and sexy man. Until she meets her employer's brother John who not only makes her feel feminine despite her tall frame but is also smart, quirky and just delicious. Although John puts on a good act, Caitlyn sees him for the player he is and so, despite her intense attraction, Caitlyn vows to keep her distance to protect her heart.John loves women and knows they love him right back. But at 34, he has 5 years before he wants to settle down. So why is he falling so hard for Caitlyn and why isn't she interested?I typically do not read pure romances. I usually prefer books with a romantic element that also include other story lines like friends and family. Fashioning a Romance, although definitely written in a chick lit voice, was just that - a romance - but the author's voice, the characters and the humor managed to capture my attention and maintain it throughout the entire read. The book was funny, sweet and very well written. I liked how the author seamlessly alternated points of view between Caitlyn and John. They were both such likeable characters which made me root for their happy ending. While it was all too good to be true, this book made me almost believe that fairytales CAN come true! Not sure that's a good thing...I will definitely read more from this author!
