This is the followup/conclusion to Me, Cinderella, and we get to see how Aubrey and Eliot find their way through the trials of maintaining a relationship when there are a lot of interfering circumstances. We ended book 1 with Aubrey and Eliot consummating their relationship after making it through a very dangerous situation; and with all the beauty of their intimacy, Aubrey still had some fears and trepidation of the events that happened to her, as well as the loss of her Mom and things in Eliot's past. There was some mystery and intrigue that was set up in book 1 that does come full circle in this edition, but it seemed to almost be an 'oh by the way' kind of conclusion that was wrapped up too conveniently. I was also a little taken aback with some of Aubrey's behavior and reactions in this edition, as she almost came across as being someone else, not the same endearing girl from book 1. I did not like the way she handled things with her dear friend Mark, and it seemed a little suspect how he recovered from their exchange so quickly and moved on.Whenever I start a series, I always try to see it through, as I feel that it is only fair to get the complete story before you can truly experience the entirety of the tale; although the conclusion was a sweet HEA, for me some elements were missing to help me truly feel this couple, and root for their happiness. All in all, I really did not connect with this couple as much as I would have liked, and as much as I wanted to really like the story, it was just ok for me. I did really like the style and beauty of this authors writing, and hopefully I will have the opportunity to try another of her works in the future.
