Gender bender on My Fair Lady, where the socialite heroine tries to transform the gruff-round-the-edges hero into CEO-material. The heroine comes off as snobby at first and the hero completely rude, but at the core of it, they are both lonely people with a fear of rejection. I like her more - she readily admits her biasness, and eventually accepts the hero wholly as he is.
Her self-discovery journey is great, although she tends to give in too easily to the hero. As for the hero - he is a bit mean to her at times and he *definitely* pushes her away too much, but he does care for her and shows her that there's more to life. They have great chemistry, love the banter/connection, and their tender moments are really quite sweet. Except there are times where the hero definitely needs to grovel a lot more! I've always loved LL's flair for rom-coms and this book is no exception.
