Starting out as a quest for an arranged marriage, IF THE SHOE FITS manages to very cleverly stay true to much of the Cinderella fairy tale while putting more emphasis on the leadership and resourcefulness of young businesswomen.
The relationship between Charlie and Alex relies on him being smitten with her intelligence as well as vivacity. Charlie lights up his life previously devoted to his grandparents to the point that seeking the arranged marriage was to please them.
I loved that they fell in love do instantly. That Alex could not resist Charlie after only one meeting, and that they couldn’t bear to be apart. Alex was such a loyal, devoted grandson even denying himself what he wanted more than anything to make them happy.
This would be known as a closed door romance, but that doesn’t lessen the heat the author creates between the Royales. I really enjoyed the story.
