“An adorable retelling, engaging and character-rich...this kind of mutual empowering is one of Weatherspoon’s hallmarks.”
—The New York Times
“Heart-melting…a perfect fit for fans of contemporary romance authors Jasmine Guillory and Alexa Martin.”
—Booklist
From award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon comes a thoroughly modern take on the timeless tale of a struggling Cinderella who finds her prince charming at the eleventh hour—and the adventure that ensues the morning after . . .
Working as the personal assistant to one of Hollywood’s cruelest divas has left Amanda Queen more determined than ever to sell her screenplay and gain her independence. In the meantime, she’ll settle for a temporary escape. When her employer is felled by the flu on Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, Amanda gets her glam on, struts out the door, and parties with the glitterati. But she never expects to come face to face—and closer than close—with one of the hottest stars in the game . . .
Following up his first Oscar win with a steamy after-hours romp with an enigmatic woman seems like the perfect way for actor Sam Pleasant to celebrate—until she suddenly disappears. Worse, she’s vanished with the wrong swag bag: the one containing his Oscar statue, leaving Sam even more intrigued about the beauty’s identity—and wondering if a repeat performance of their amazing night is in the stars. And when a second chance encounter happens, only a trip to Sam’s family ranch—and revealing the whole, not-always-glamorous, truth about themselves—will give them a chance to turn one magical night into forever . . .
“Wonderfully inventive…Uniting a heart-stopping hero and a plus-size heroine who knows her own worth, this steamy fairy tale shines.”
—Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
“One of romance’s brightest stars…[this is] a thoroughly modern Cinderella story.”
—Bookpage, Starred Review
“Another winner from rising star Weatherspoon.”

Sam definitely deserves an Oscar for not playing games when it comes to who he wants, he's strong and confident enough to be selfish in his choosing, regardless. They just click instantly, those dance floor scenes are...tantalizing and the songs really drew me into visualizing them. Amanda was just all over the place though, she definitely adds shock factor. I felt sorry for her but couldn't understand her justification of her discouraging job. The pace had an ebb and flow, the spark kind of trickled but did eventually build again. Love the family circle and how supportive they are of one another, the dude ranch made me want to visit one. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon Cowboys of California #2 What fun this book was! There is definitely a bit of the fairytale vibe in this one and it was a joy to read! What I liked: * Amanda: strong, talented, works hard, caring, capable, beautiful, confident in many if not all things, a delight and delightful. * Sam: gorgeous, talented, loves deeply, Oscar winner, caring, confident, intriguing, and so much more! * The introduction – what fun! * That both H/h were nice people * The contrast between Amanda and Dru, the woman she worked for * Helene, friend to both Amanda and Sam * The families of both Sam and Amanda * That I needed to look up terms I was unfamiliar with (triangle braids & Hotep…perhaps others) and through this learned and grew * That this felt/is an OwnVoice story and as such gave me a different perspective * That there was a HFN/HEA for the couple * Knowing that Jesse, the third Pleasant brother, will get a book of his own soon. What I did not like: * Dru – perfectly evil though how Amanda put up with her so long boggles the mind! * Having to wait for Jesse’s story…and wondering if the series will end after Jesse’s story or if others mentioned in this book might show up in books of their own. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series/by this author? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for the ARC – This is my honest review 5 Stars
