If the Shoe Fits by Rachel Lacey
3.0
I'll be honest and say that I struggled to get off the ground with IF THE SHOE FITS. I ended up putting it down after only a few chapters and letting it sit for a week or so before coming back to it. I found the beginning to be slow but it does pick up as Elle, Ruby, and Megan get their business off the ground. I loved the idea of the Fairy Tails Program and the dogs were just adorable throughout the story. Elle starts out a bit adrift in life; she's working as a theme park princess and doesn't really seem to have a lot of ambition. But as she works on improving Rosemont Castle, it's clear that Elle is a smart and hard working woman who dives into things and gives them her whole heart. Though I never really connected with Elle I did like her as a person and a character.
While Elle plays the part of our Cinderella, Theo is supposed to be our Prince Charming but his desire to sell Rosemont Castle makes him a bit of a "villain" at first. With his grandfather's passing, Theo left the responsibility of Earl at a much earlier age then he was expecting. He greatly feels the pressure to return to England and uphold the duties his grandfather let fall by the wayside. But when Theo meets Elle he just can't turn her away without giving her a chance. Theo doesn't believe he'll change his mind but he agrees to let the girls give their hotel and dog adoption program a chance. Of course things get complicated when he begins a personal relationship with Elle and while Theo might be good at compartmentalizing business and pleasure, Elle has a softer heart in these matters.
Overall, I liked this book but it doesn't stand out for me because I just never connected with the characters. However, the ending had some great moments that left me excited for more in the series.
