Book Description

Fun young adult romance novel. Game of gnomes….who’s taking Grandma’s gnomes? Why is the hottest guy in school such a jerk? These are the questions Alyssa will answer this fall.

Alyssa’s a dancer who loves choreography. She’s new to town and she’s done with mean dance teams, and dance instructors who insult to motivate. She’s out to prove that an appreciative, supportive choreographer can win the Willow Dance Championship. When handsome, witty Thayer asks her out, the lights of New York shine even brighter. She doesn’t know he’s lying about his last name, thinks she’s a poor scholarship girl, and is on a date with her as an experiment. And when she finds out…

Thayer’s sick of dating the girls at Shay Prep who use his family’s influence to get ahead in society. He decides to date a girl from the prep school across town. That’s when his best friend offers him a challenge, “Stop with the prep school girls. Go out with a regular girl, not someone paying 100K a year in tuition.” It’s one of those ideas that hits him as right. Thayer musses his perfect hair, ditches his Shay Prep blazer and accepts the challenge. Twelve dollars will buy him a bit of truth – will a Manhattan girl go out with a guy who only has twelve dollars to spend on their date? He finds Alyssa, the pretty scholarship dancer.

Love and payback collide in this standalone fun YA romance. Standalone, Happily Ever After, single female point of view, upper YA.

Book Review

I "accidentally" found another book of Emily Evans called Accidental Cinderella last week and really enjoyed it. That led me to look for more books from the author. I found this book and liked the sound of the story. Alyssa is new in town and wants to make the most of it. Thayer is the poor little rich kid. He always is super suspicious because he is forever being taken advantage of.

She ends up on a date with him without know who he really is. He thinks she's a poor kid with a scholarship and wants to know how they would ever gel. Of course there are sparks and more than a few dances along the way. Not to mention Alyssa's grandmother's gnomes making life more exciting than needed.

A ball…a gown…a pumpkin…and a happily ever…this standalone, contemporary YA romance has them all. When Ella receives an exciting invitation to attend an exclusive boarding school, she knows she won’t fit it. These kids are elite, wealthy, and driven. She’s ‘average Ella’ on a scholarship…at least, that’s what she wants everyone to believe. A lost shoe…a lost shirt…oh my…When events push her to need a boyfriend, Ella asks hot senior Hale.

His response? “No.”
Yep. That’s her fairytale. 

Hale’s driven, and he needs an A on the fall project. He doesn’t need the sweet but average scholarship girl screwing up his grade – not after last year. Tanking science will ruin his entry into a top pre-med program. He’s focused. School. Homework. Rowing. No girl’s going to mess up his plan. Not even one as intriguing as Ella.
These two meet in ashes, sparks fly, and their lives light up. 

Book Review


Thoroughly enjoyed this rewriting of the fairy tale. Makes for good clean fun as a young adult novel. Enjoyed the way Ella goes from never letting her light shine to outsmarting everyone! Of course the handsome prince Hale is watching out for her, even as he claims he never dates. Why then is he so disappointed when she refuses to go to the Apple Ball. And why doe she make the invitation to the Pumpkin Ball so irresistible. Especially enjoyed the way Ella ends up coaching the entire rowing team.
