Description In Favor Of Books Someone Else's Fairytale (Someone Else's Fairytale #1)
Aaaaah, this was super duper cute! I enjoyed it so much. 4.5 stars!
At the beginning, I was wondering if it was going to be a little slow. I found Chloe moody and slightly irritating. But then you found out her story and you know what? She can be a little bit moody if she wants to. Girl has been through some serious crap. So be patient with her, she's alright really.
But it didn't last long. After a while I found myself really warming to her. She wasn't materialistic or shallow. She didn't lead Jason on, she was honest and cautious, yet friendly and polite.
I loved the dialogue in this book. It was so true and believable. There were moments of awkwardness, as there are in real life, their were misunderstandings and there were some great one liners that really had me giggling.
"Jason Vanderholt is off the market."
"I wasn't ever for sale," muttered Jason.
I loved Jason. The fail safe way to make me enjoy a book is to give me a hero I can really fall for. And Jason was just that. Okay, let's talk about Jason. Movie star; Check! Filthy rich; Check! (That's right, I'm no Chloe, I wouldn't say no) Swoonworthy good looks; Check! Great at organising romantic dates; Check! Great family; Check! Respectful and sensitive; Check! Do you need me to go on??
"I just need to have you close. The more time I spend with you, the more I want."
Oh, and if all that weren't enough...
"If I wanted to buy you off I'd, I dunno, give you a big gift certificate to Amazon or something."
Yeh, that's right boys... take note! The way to a womans' heart? Amazon vouchers! You know it! And wine and chocolates compliment them brilliantly too.
I thought it was crazy sweet that he just spotted her, in a crowd, and fell in love with her. I loved this, particularly, because this is oooobviously what is absolutely definitely going to happen to me when I meet Zac Efron/Channing Tatum/Ryan Reynolds/[insert other hot celeb here] and they see me for the first time. Obviously.
So, whilst I was falling all over myself to marry Jason Vanderholt, Chloe remained unsure. Despite the fact it turns out I am a complete fame slut, (who knew?) I liked that she wasn't. And I liked that it made Jason want her even more.
"It's not my fairytale. It's not anything I ever wanted. It's the last thing I've ever wanted. I hate crowds. I don't want to be the envy of every other woman on the planet. I never dreamed of being with a guy with flawless good looks. This is someone else's fairytale."
What surprised me the most was that this book wasn't entirely sweetness and light. When I sat down to this, I thought I was in for pure chick lit hearts and flowers. There's a darker strain running through this story too. It makes the book much more engaging and really was the tipping the extra half star for me.
The only reason that this didn't get a full blown five stars was this... Chloe was a virgin and wasn't keen on sex before marriage. Now whilst I respect that everybody has their views, this isn't mine and I did want to scream at her 'Sleep with the poor guy, for Christ sake woman! He's hot and gorgeous and he loves you!' So my frustration at Chloe's hesitance to jump into the sack with Mr. Hot Movestar Vanderholt lost her half a star. To be fair, the author did warn me that this book started off very 'un-steamy', but I have to say, I'm really hoping she drops her panties in book two. ;) I really want to see the sex God in Jason unleashed.
"He's got it bad for you, Chloe. Anyone who sees him with you could tell that."
Yeh, if we could just insert 'Smitten' where you see 'Chloe'? That would be fab. Please. Thanks.
The only thing I can pick out that people might not like was that it is a little corny. This doesn't bother me. Personally, I love a bit of Disney-style cheesy romance in my life every now and then, but as a reviewer, I know this might not appeal to everyone so I felt I should point it out.
"I want to be your Prince Charming," he said.
*happy sigh* Oh Jas, if you insist. :D
Like I said, I really enjoyed this. I'm going to get stuck into the second book now, Nobody's Damsel, because as absolutely adorable as this ending was, I need to go and find out if anyone gets laid and whether or not Chloe and Jason really get their Happy Ever After. So, go on, go read this and get some Vanderholt in your lives. Laters!

So I'd actually tried this before! But I bounced off the writing, so didn't read more than a couple of chapters. But Hallie and Jacob's review were SO good that I wanted to give it another chance. And then I was browsing Amazon and noticed it was free (still is!), so I bought it.And ohhh. I haven't had much time to read except late at night and this kept me up late two nights in a row, reading "just one more chapter!" Finally decided I HAD to finish it tonight because I can't keep doing that!2.5*Gorgeous cover! I wouldn't go so far as to say "shame about the contents," but I do think this romance wasted a great idea with poor structuring & a meandering pace. I think the book would have been improved with a bit of judicious pruning - say 50 pages. IMO, clean romances are hard to pull off in this day & age, so they need to be really fast paced& better use could have been made of both Chloe's other admirer & her half brother.
***Three It-Was-Kinda-OK Stars***This book was free on Amazon and I'm not ashamed to say that's pretty much the only reason why I gave it a shot. It was a pleasant surprise in some ways and terribly predictable in other ways. So we meet Chloe Winters, a goodie-two-shoes with really annoying, dysfunctional mom (I wonder if there's a heroine out there with regular folks?). What I liked about Chloe was that she was genuinely smart (reminded me a little of Penny Reid's characters). What I didn't
I am going against the grain with the rest of the reviewers and only giving this book 2 stars. Since there are few pros than cons, I'll start with the positives.Pros: The writing was sound and it was free. I've encountered many freebies that are just awful in this area.Cons: I didn't like the characters...like at all. Chloe was beyond annoying and there were times I was seriously cheering for her to fail. In the beginning she describes Jason has a fake Ken doll with really dry skin but after
5 StarsYou can imagine my surprise when I am home today and wanted a lighter, by that meaning less dark, book to read today to lift my spirits. I have this book sitting on my kindle, which was a freebie that I pick up somewhere along the way, and decide what the heck I'll give it a go. I absolutely completely enjoyed this book. It was funny and touching heartfelt and silly. This was a win for me today!!
This was... interesting?Things I liked:1. That while there was a past traumatic event, it did not define Chloe's life. Too often in new adult books (and are we calling this NA? I'm not sure), the trauma is all the character is. But that's not the case here. She has baggage, both from the trauma and her childhood, but the book is largely about how they effect her ability to live her life and I liked that. 2. The presentation of a celeb/non-celeb relationship felt pretty right.3. Jason's family.
First I must say that what impressed me most about this book is the authors ability to get me to cross genres. I am not a chick lit fan. Ive tried to read many books in that genre actually was able to finish a few, but never really left the book satisfied. But when I picked up Someone Elses Fairytale I was hooked from page 1.Chloe Winters has a chance meeting with big star Jason Vanderholt when she and her friends are extras in a movie being shot at their college the University of New Mexico.
