BLURB:

When Jason takes the chance on a blind date, it’s then that his eyes are finally opened.

Wealthy winery owner Jason is happy to claim that he’s too busy to have a love life or a romance. He has all he needs with his personal secretary taking care of his business life and an old friend looking after the yacht where they live.

When he’s invited to a Valentine’s masked ball, Jason asks his assistant Kris to find him a date for the evening. To Jason’s shock, instead of someone Jason knows and is comfortable with, Kris sets him up with a blind date—one he claims will be a perfect match. Trusting him, Jason agrees.

His date appears dressed as Princess Buttercup, and Jason is surprised at just how comfortable he is with the unknown person.

But when Buttercup is abused by another party attendee, Jason follows his distraught guest and his eyes are fully opened.

When ‘the moment’ comes, will Jason grab it with both hands?

Reader advisory: This book contains cross-dressing and references to stalking and unwanted groping.

REVIEW:

I’ve got admit that when I initially read the blurb to this novella I wasn’t keen on reading it but for some reason, I decided to give it a shot. I am really glad that I did.

I can’t remember off the top what initially made me not want to read the story but that’s not important. What is important is the story that was told. It was damn good.

Although this storyline has been done before, the author did an amazing job telling this story. Jason’s character fascinated me. Here is a man who seems to have it all; he’s successful and has all the trappings of wealth that he could ever want. But he’s convinced himself that he’s too busy with his work and his assistant and friend are all he needs in life. It doesn’t take long to realize that even though he has all of this success and wealth, it’s not enough.  You can tell that he’s reluctant to acknowledge that he’s really lonely.

I like how the author was able to tell such a really good story in a novella. Usually in novella something is lacking, whether it be character development or the pace is really fast but there was none of that in this story. There was a really good story told in the characters were very well developed.

I liked the idea of a secret admirer/masked love interest. It kept it spicy and mysterious. The story contained a hint of stalking and inappropriate touching, it wasn’t such that it took away from the enjoyment of the story.

All in all, I think that this turned out rather nicely and I’m really glad that I decided to read this story.
