The Cinderella Deal Jennifer Crusie 9780553593365 Books

Linc Blaise, studious, appropriate, intelligent, and a bit stodgy tells a fib about his bachelor status during an interview to attain his dream college professorial position, and gets himself into a situation. His neighbor, Daisy Flattery is a free spirit, an artistic soul who loves stories, color, and old broken things, including damaged animals. Although the thought of spending time with her drives him crazy, she’s the perfect choice to playact as his fiancé long enough for him to get the job. The situation gets out of hand, and becomes a temporary marriage of convenience. Then the fun really begins.

I’d forgotten how much I enjoy Jennifer Crusie. She always creates wonderful characters and she does such a good job of developing their subtle, fun and beautiful character arcs through day-to-day interaction. I totally enjoyed this story.

STORY BRIEF
Daisy is an artist; she paints pictures. She also tells stories at local libraries and book stores. She buys clothes and furniture at thrift shops. Her home is full of color. She adopts damaged dogs and cats. She's desperately in need of a thousand dollars for back rent and other necessities.

Linc is Daisy's neighbor. He drives a black Porsche which Daisy calls the nazimobile. His home is decorated in black and white. He is an English professor at the city college. He wants a teaching job at Prescott College which would give him time to finish writing a book. During the job interview Dr. Crawford (dean of humanities at Prescott College) makes it clear that Linc be married. Therefore, Linc tells Crawford he is engaged. Crawford insists on meeting Linc's fiancé. Linc hires Daisy to pose as his fiancé for 24 hours to meet Crawford. She agrees for $1,000.

After Linc gets the job and starts working, he informs Crawford that he and Daisy broke up. This is unacceptable to Crawford who insists Linc get her back.

REVIEWER'S OPINION
I had one problem which is a pet peeve of mine. Soon into their relationship Linc was falling for Daisy and desired her sexually. But he refused to act on it or to show her that he cared. And Daisy did the same thing. She never let Linc know that she desired him. I saw no reason for them to "deny that they wanted each other" other than as a plot device. This went on for four months. If you don't mind that, it's a fun story.

I noticed another reviewer was unhappy with Daisy being self-absorbed. An example given was Daisy moving Linc's furniture out to make room for hers. But after Linc discussed this with Daisy, she worked hard to recover and repaint her own furniture to make it more appealing to Linc. He also ended up liking where she put his furniture - a good place for his home office. They communicated over their differences, so I wasn't as troubled over this part of Daisy.

Quirky and loveable Daisy Flattery needs money. That's the only reason she accepts a deal from her neighbor, Linc Blaise, to be his pretend fiancé during a job interview. Plus, Linc needs her and Daisy has a hard time turning anyone in need away. The trouble is, their weekend ruse was too well done. Instead of being able to dump Daisy after a weekend, everyone insists that he keep her, that he marry her, and that he bring her to the small town where his college is. What to do? They decide to extend their Cinderella deal until the end of the school year, which they deem their "midnight." This is a great book. Fun and charming, and hard to put down.
Daisy is a free spirited painter, with a love for cats and old furniture. Linc is a professor, uptight and serious. But after awhile they realise opposites attract. I found the book sallow, predictably and a little boring. I put it down several times and wasn’t in a hurry to pick it up again. But it is a cute superficial story, so maybe buy it if you want som light reading. Probably should have given it 2 stars, but I finished it and there was a couple of chapters that made me smile.
