| Cyn Elder's life is anything but a fairy tale. After a desperately grueling day at the Glass Slipper, all Cyn wants to do is go home and relax. But her friends have other ideas, ones that include exclusive tickets to the grand opening of a hot new club. Parker Maguire, Hollywood royalty and club owner, has grown bored with the Hollywood scene and so far his new club isn't proving to be any better. That is until he happens upon an intriguing woman holding her own with one of his bouncers. Parker is bowled over by the sassy, genuine, and sexy woman who doesn't seem to be impressed with who he is or what he's worth. Cyn is highly attracted to Parker and for once in her life she's going to put herself first and grab with both hands the chance of a life. Sweeping her off her feet, the lovers must deal with her father's wicked girlfriend and her two dastardly daughters who see Parker as a threat to their world. But with a little help of a Fairy Drag Queen, the lovers just might have their happily ever after.
Head Over Heels is a feel good Cinderella fairy tale that plays on women's fantasies to heights of exhilarating enchantment. This is a love story that brims over with tender touches and sizzling sensual enjoyment. Lena Matthews is a very talented author that just seems to keep getting better with every book she writes. The characters in this tale are from different worlds but the attraction is intense and delightfully fun and oh so hot that the pages seem to sizzle like an inferno. Cyn is a feisty, determined, independent woman and Parker is a total knight-in-shining-armor out to capture his lady love. The sex scenes are not just about sex, they're closely tied to the hero and heroine's emotional conflicts as well as the growing love that quickly blossoms. MeShell, Cyn's Drag Queen friend, and Miller, her best friend, work well together creating humorous touches to lighten the mood as well as moving the story to different planes. By the end of the delightfully vivid story the reader can't help but feel as if Parker and Cyn have literally jumped off the pages and into their lives. This is truly a magical plot -- a charming romance that is sinfully addictive and readers are going to hate seeing the end.
