Publisher's Summary

Daisy Flattery is a free spirit with a soft spot for strays and a weakness for a good story. Why else would she agree to the outrageous charade offered by her buttoned-down workaholic neighbor, Linc Blaise? The history professor needs to have a fiancée in order to capture his dream job, and Daisy is game to play the role. But something funny happens on their way to the altar that changes everything. Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Daisy lose her prince, or will opposites not only attract but live happily ever after?

My Review from Audible and other sites

5.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of Cinderella Story!, May 17, 2015
By Sapphire Reader (Mountain Top, PA, United States)
This review is from: The Cinderella Deal (Audible Audio Edition)
Daisy Flattery is a free as it can be character. Makes you want to be her. I love the way she is so giving, free-spirited and willing to take on a challenge. Even if the challenge to save her apartment is to pretend to be engaged to her obnoxious neighbor Linc Blaise.

Linc on the their first meeting thought what a space cadet. She dresses like a flower child of the 60's. She is not the type of girl he would ever consider dating let alone be engaged to. However, he needs someone of her caliber to pretend to be engaged to him to land a huge job offer at an university.

Upon receiving his dream job he realizes that he has to keep up the charade until they can play up a breakup. What Linc was not counting on is the infectious personality of Daisy. Will faith take over his heart or will he keep to a deal and that is the end of it?

All I can say is that Jennifer Cruise has such a cute way of writing these fairy tales of love. This was one of those stories that you just want to see as a Hallmark or Lifetime movie. Susan Boyce was a delight as she performed the characters throughout the book making them all come to life and add to the personalities of each of them. Draws you into each scene as it takes place.

From Daisy being her flaky, giving self to Linc's somber this is the way is should be demeanor. To the town's folk that she brings into their lives. I like this story so much this is one that I actually did listen to 2 times.

I guarantee that this will be on your fav list of romance comedies.

Publisher's Summary

Min Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet. Cal Morrisey knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.
But Fate has other plans, and it's not long before Min and Cal are dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kremes, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a mutant cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of, including the biggest gamble of all: real love.

My thoughts on this book!

Well, for this Throwback Thursday Review this is when I listened to books on CD. Yeah those round things that you put in that little slot in older cars! LOL!
This was my first experience with a Jennifer Cruise book and I fell in love with her Romantic comedic style of writing. Min Dobbs certainly was that fairy tale story that we wish we can put ourselves into her shoes during this story. Cal well he certainly did get more than he bargained for when he met the likes of Min! How could a bet go so wrong or is that so right no wrong. No right! How Cal thought a bet he made was going to be easy as pie. Yeah that was until he met Min and then all heck broke lose when a stray cat took Min under his paw so to speak! 
Deanna Hurst made this audio performance just come alive with all it's humor and drama. There is no way around it! I know that I will be putting her on my continuing short list of audio performing artist. Narrators that is such an old way of a story teller telling a story. Nope she is a true performer in the sense of the word as Jennifer Cruise is in the writing of Romantic Comedies!
Great job gals!!
