This short romance novel wasn't terrible, although it felt rushed.  Alex has been told by his grandparents that he must marry; he chooses Charlotte (Charlie), the daughter of a department store owner.  The spark between them is believable, but the immediate proposal is not.I get why Alex needs to marry - but why does Charlie?  Originally the plan was for Charlie to help her step sister marry Alex, in return for control of her late father's store.  When the plan changes, she doesn't confront the step-mother or make a new plan?  Weird.  There's no other reason to marry Alex so quickly.There are other confusing bits to this story - the scene about the trust funds is perplexing and the way the Office in California/Denouement scene is written makes it nearly indecipherable.  Its frustrating, because the rest of the book is okay.Another thing that bothered me - no one explained the Prince Charming appellation.  It sets up the Cinderella theme for the rest of the book, but never gets explained.  This could have been better.
