This prince charming has no time for love.

Hotshot lawyer Jared Redmond is a workaholic whose romantic life is a string of quick flings.

After a long business trip, he returns home early to find his younger brother has thrown a Halloween party in their apartment, and there’s a big problem . . .

There’s a woman wearing a princess gown in his bed—a real sleeping beauty.

His undeniable attraction to this mysterious stranger sets him on a path toward the one thing he never planned on—falling in love.

But his fair princess has no time for love either, and when their careers put them on separate paths, Jared has to fight to win back the woman who stole his heart, or he will lose her forever.

Enjoyable read even though I found out heroine's character rather frustrating at times with all her negativity, it made me feel sorry for Jared.

I loved this sweet story by Lauren Smith

Reviewed in Australia on 13 March 2017

I loved this sweet story by Lauren Smith; it was a touching story that made me both smile and teary, sometimes at the same time. I haven’t read anything by Lauren Smith before but I love her writing style and the real life feel of this book.

Jared is so sweet, a really good guy. He’s a workaholic lawyer hoping to make partner. With his life is on track, everything working out as planned, there’s no time for a relationship……but life is full of surprises. Her name is Felicity, she’s sweet, innocent, never been in a relationship. She’s very independent, still in college working towards a career and job opportunity she’s dreamed about; they are so cute together! Their first meeting still makes me smile.

Neither of them planned for a relationship at this time but not everything in life can be planned, as they quickly find out. It is such a real story in that way, the ups and downs, and a few obstacles to throw them course. I enjoyed their journey as they discover their feelings and try to figure out if they can and if so how they make this new relationship fit into their independent future plans.

This is the first book in the Ever After series and I’m looking forward to book two. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I’m hoping to reconnect with these characters and some other favorites, Thad and Angelo. I would love to read Layla and Tanner’s story too please.

Lovely story. Very sweet, quick, and fun read with a happy ever after.

The supporting characters are a lot of fun and add humour to the story line.

Recommend.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout as part of a group of stories (It Began with a Sigh) and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Contemporary take on Cinderella

Reviewed in Canada on 16 March 2017

LEGALLY CHARMING features two workaholics, one an alpha-lawyer who doesn't see himself as a Knight in Shining Armor, but his caring and nurturing brings out the Prince in him, and the other, a goal-driven young woman who accepts her economic and living situation, making the best of it, and doesn't see herself as a Princess, but feels like one when in the arms of her Prince.

This is a well-written, enjoyable quick read, with interesting primary and secondary characters in fun situations, with a big dollop romance, a bit of angst, lots of passion, sweetness, sexiness and fairy tale elements in a contemporary setting, and exciting city locale.

Instant attraction and instant love are featured with a few conflicts to disrupt the love. The hero and heroine meet in an usual way and from there the reader is whisked into a birdseye view of their roller coaster ride of love, career and serious decisions as they venture on their romantic journey.

Cute light quick read. Didn't drag on like some novels. I would read it again. I'm looking forward to the second.

To much Vulgar language. Very Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on 13 October 2021

Verified Purchase

It was a fairly good story, however, this author, really got carried using the f word.

The main character (hero) was a sweet, loving person who happened to be an attorney, well educated and so forth, but the vulgar words that came out of his mouth had a very negative effect.

He kept using the the f word throughout the story that had a negative effect on this story, what a let down. It cheapened his character, and it also cheapened this book.

This author needs to let up on the vulgar language, clean it up a bit, then this book would have been an excellent read.

I love reading a good romance but when it has to much vulgarity, I start loosing interest in it.

I don’t think I will reading anymore of this author’s novels.

A very charming story...

Reviewed in the United States on 25 May 2021

Verified Purchase

This story definitely had a fairytale feel. Probably a mash-up of elements from Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. I was into it 😁 and who wouldn't like a charming, slightly beastly man who dresses like a lawyer. I know it might sound a little odd, but really the author did a great job of pulling it off without the characters coming across as too Disney.

Both Jared and Felicity have their faults, but they compliment and complete each other rather well. Felicity could use just a touch more of a backbone, given that her upbringing wasn't completely charmed, but I liked her for Jared. Jared gave off just enough possessiveness to be believable but he too needed a bit more of a backbone when it comes to his career.

What I really liked was the pacing of the story and how the drama didn't stop from one page to the next. There was always something to keep me entertained however, some parts lagged and I did skim a little when there was not enough dialogue happening in a scene. Jared and Felicity's relationship is full steam ahead from page one and by the end, I was looking and hoping for a longer epilogue. They could definitely use a short story to tie things up and maybe heat things up a bit more 😉

This book was a joy to read! Highly recommended!

I loved this book for a lot of reasons. After reading a handful of harsh, gritty, and difficult books, this book was a welcome reprieve. This book has a hopeful tone, the characters are generally upbeat, and no major catastrophe befalls anyone. There's plenty of bumps along the road to HEA, but no major angst.

Felicity is an art history grad student employed part time at a gallery. Money is tight for her, but she's got her end goal in sight and she's working towards it. Jared is an ambitious attorney with nothing on his radar except work and more work.

After the cutest meet-cute ever, Felicity and Jared are each aware of the strong chemistry between them. Felicity battles a moderate case of the not-good-enoughs because her background is modest and small-town compared to Jared's wealthy family, while Jared struggles with balancing his professional obligations with his new passion for Felicity.

Jared, it could be argued, is too perfect. He's handsome and successful and charming. He stands up for his girl, loves his family, and performs like a stallion in the sack. He's gentle and sweet, but still just the right amount of dominant when it's naughty time. But I say he's just the right amount of perfect. He's book-boyfriend perfect, and I'm putting in my dibs. (#Ilickeditsoitsmine)

The supporting characters - Felicity's bff Layla, her employer Sabine, Jared's friends Thad and Anthony, their families - are all a lot of fun too and add humor and pathos and magic throughout the story. Can't wait to read the promised follow-ups about Thad and Anthony and their true loves!
