Once Upon You and Me

Timothy Janovsky

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

What if your Prince Charming had dated your boss? When Taylor Frost’s boss flies him across the country to prep for her daughter’s sweet sixteen at the Storybook Endings Resort, the solo mission is well within his wheelhouse. Taylor is excellent at his job – except, he’s probably not supposed to flirt with the resort’s mountain man of a manager, Ethan Golding. Because the rugged older man is also the birthday girl’s father, aka Amy’s ex-husband. Oops.

For Ethan, his divorce seemed like the bad ending to his romantic story. And now, making his daughter’s sweet sixteen dreams come true is the closest he’ll get to the kind of magic happiness in fairy tales. Until adorable Taylor has him wondering if maybe this is just the beginning of a more erotic kind of bedtime story...

If one fairytale ends badly...can a new one begin? –

★★★★☆

<div>Ethan's daughter is turning 16. His ex's assistant Taylor comes to the resort a week before everyone else to get things ready. Something goes wrong with the cabin Taylor is staying in. There's no other cabins available so Taylor stays with Ethan. Will the crush they have on each other go away? I hope not.</div><div> </div><div>I hate how Ethan has to be away from his daughter so much when he doesn't want to be. I like how Taylor does so much for Samara even though she's his boss' daughter. It's cute how both Ethan and Taylor acted when they met in person for the first time. The seven dwarves reference was cute. When Taylor had to stay with Ethan I was a little disappointed at first since there's more than 1 bed but I was happy in the end. The ending was quite cute.&nbsp;</div>
