Will their wedding night be a one-night stand or a merger for keeps?
Global real estate mogul, Cade Sloan should've listened to his own advice: trust no one, and never a woman…especially not his 24 hour bride gone AWOL with his millions. Nina, mousy secretary turned sexy vixen, will repay every penny with interest…

When Cade gears up for a takeover, there's sweet hell to pay. Nina owes her husband a wedding night and he’s hell bent on collecting… his way, his time, his pleasure.

My Review:

Manhattan Millionaire's Cinderella is definitely not your typical fairy-tale story. Sun Chara does a very good job with the overall concept of the story, yet it lacked more details. I felt that it could have been a great story had she included more chapters in the book. Aside from that, I enjoyed reading the story and Cade and Nina's relationship made everything that much more enjoyable to read. Cade Sloan needs a wife and in order to get the money that he needs to save his company, he decides to asks his secretary, Nina to become his wife. From the very start it immediately becomes evident that the two are attracted to each other. The attraction grows and so she gives in but not without her fair share of the money that Cade is going to get once they're married. 

Yet after getting married (which happens very fast in the story), Nina hears of Cade's plan and runs away with his money. Now it takes Cade a while to track her down and is set to get his money back and the women he is attracted to. Both Cade and Nina have strong personalities and passion for one another. They both hide secrets and it all becomes jumbled up with so many ideas in the story that it made it difficult to follow at times. But their attraction keeps pulling them together and they both have to give in and start all over again. It was an interesting book to read, and rather short. The characters were alright, there wasn't anything too big happening overall. I liked the concept and the writing, but the execution of the story as a whole could have been better. So if anyone is looking out for a short book to read, this might be it. There is a slight bit of mystery with romance all in one, which some of you might like to read.

My Rating:
