BOOK- THE GLASS SLIPPER- Casey Vaughn has an expensive model and even more expensive photographer cooling their heels in her boss’s apartment, waiting for the male cover idol, who’s late, late, late. When the guy finally does show up, he seems clueless about everything, including American slang, but he sure is cute. When the shoot proceeds to bore everyone to death, the woman Casey’d hired walks out, and Casey has to take her place. Now, sparks fly, and they share a heated kiss. Only after he’s left does Casey discover he wasn’t a model at all, and she grabbed a complete stranger off the street. Who is her mystery man, and how will she find him again?
Kurt VonRamsberg, Prince of Danislova and his country’s ambassador to the United Nations, is walking to work one day, contemplating the end of an arranged engagement, when a young woman snatches him off the street and talks him into posing for the cover of a detective novel. Luckily, he got her phone number because his position in the Royal Family will not allow him to pose on the cover of such a book. He can’t resist this fascinating woman, though, and pretends to be the descendant of German cheese maker in order to court her.
All is well until Casey’s boss switches covers, and Kurt finds his image released on hundred of thousands of books in the United States and abroad. Summoned home to explain himself, Kurt reveals his true identity to Casey and asks her to accompany him.
Once in Danislova, Casey is entranced with the country and accepted by Kurt’s family, with the notable exception of Kurt’s father. Suddenly, she’s transformed to Cinderella—the stepchild who can’t please the stern Prince Royal no matter what she does. Will her own prince come to her rescue? Will the glass slipper ever fit?

Quite the interesting plot, the introduction of the two Main Characters and what happened afterwards. I liked both Casey and Kurt; the shy Prince and the out-going Casey. He was the solid, kind, dependable but often overlooked kind of man. Casey, while she was kind, she was also All American when it came to her way of speaking and facing problems. Well, maybe not all American in a good way when it came to her speech; she could curse and it did get her in trouble a few times. I liked her spunk and sheer joy of living. She needed her job, but a few times she could have used a backbone when it came to dealing with her boss, Phil. Oh, wait she did get a few good shots at him, every once and a while. Kurt, did a pretty good job of getting into his "role" as the descendant of German cheese maker. It kept him on his toes, at least until he could tell her the truth. He didn't plan on keeping it from her forever. It was interesting watching Kurt loosen up as he begins to enjoy life again, no one considers him dull or boring for very long after he meets Casey. I liked quite a few of the secondary people as well.
Okay, I've just got to say this part too. I had a bit of a problem with the fact that they became "Sexually Active" after only knowing each other a couple of days. Phone Sex, as well as real sex and a fair amount of it. Its well written but detailed and they weren't shy about it. Thank God, that isn't all that was in the story though.
My other comment is that the "F" word was used in the book as well. But that is my own personal deal because I have NEVER liked that word.
I guess I would call this an, "Adult Version of the Cinderella kind of Story".
I liked the cover for the eBook, very attractive.
