Pretty good. Despite being a known story device in the vein of My Fair Lady, the writing style, plot, and characters were all interesting and vivid and engrossing enough to keep me engaged throughout.It never did quite take off to be as good as I'd hoped, perhaps. It suffers throughout from being a ...

This book is divine. Sophisticated, layered, sexy, smart, and heart-breaking. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. Bit of a gender-reversal of My Fair Lady. They are worlds apart, but Judith Ivory brings them together in a clever and sweet way.

Oh what a Hero Mick is. *sigh.A ratcatcher. I did not know how that would work. But did it ever work for me. I even liked the end, but I get why some had issues.

More like 3.5 stars. The relationship between Mick and Winnie was wonderful and Mick is officially my favorite Romance hero now. But this book loses major points for the plot.

After a coffee house incident a wager is made that Mick can be transformed into a gentlemen by ...

Just loovly (that's how Mick the hero always says it), magical, enchanting, very very sexy. A double Cinderella story, where both the hero and heroine play fairy godparent to each other, converting a lowly ratcatcher and a down-on-her-luck spinster into a prince and princess, not least in each other...

Edwina has accepted the challenge to transform incorrigible Mick Tremore into a gentleman in just six weeks. And although the linguist is sure she can rise...

*4.5 stars*What a delicious, fun, charming book from beginning to end. Thank you Judith Ivory for loving your characters enough (and readers) by creating such fully fleshed-out 3 dimensional realistic characters. I was interested and hooked from the very first chapter. This story has the 'My Fair La...
