  I don’t often comment on it, but that’s one eye-catching cover on the edition I read. It seems really unusual to lead with an interior shot without any humans or human parts in the frame, but I liked it. It’s like that bed is waiting.
  
  Emily left her previous power job because she moved in with a co-worker and when they broke up she quit. She’s now secretly writing a novel and cleaning rich people flats.
  
  One day, she’s still at Lucas’ place working away at her novel on her laptop when he comes home and catches her. It could have been a fairly terrible scene, but Lucas has serious man flu, so he doesn’t launch into the traditional romance hero thing where he accuses her of being a druggie gold digging scammy criminal and immediately demand that she become his mistress. Instead, Emily goes home and Lucas goes to bed.
  
  Emily senses that there is some lightning-shaped rip in Romancelandia’s space-time continuum, and that to prevent the entire fabric of the universe unravelling, she’s going to have to take an unusually active role in kicking this romance along. She pesters poor Lucas until he agrees to letting her look after him, and she moves in for a couple of days to nurse him back to health. It’s a good thing she does, because if she hadn’t: no more category romances. Ever.
  
  What makes this romance for me forever is that Lucas and Emily have fever sex. Fever sex is most unaccountably awesome. I first realised that this was a thing when I read a short story about the time when Dragonlance’s Raistlin got really sick and there was this beautiful girl and a tent and what could have been an hallucination and may have had a nine month later consequence that was dealt with in another story with a grown up daughter who may have been scamming. I read that story so long ago that I think I am partially making it up. I am squeamish and wary of medical romances because I worry about people having sex in hospitals. And nothing tastes good when you’re sick, you ache all over, there’s all the coughing and sweating and pain. I don’t get why I like fever sex, but I do.
  
  Lucas and Emily are both nice enough and have only modest baggage. Having said that, there’s a casualness in the way they interact and talk that I’m not quite convinced works for me, and I wasn’t completely happy with the mystery surrounding Emily’s ex. Enjoyable enough that I’ll try more Catherine George books.

  Cuando Lucas llega a casa enfermo, lo que menos espera es ver a una joven en su casa... a pesar de que es su asistenta, jamás se habían visto hasta ese día y tal vez fue lo mejor que pudo pasarle porque de otra manera nunca hubiesen pasado tiempo juntos mientras Lucas tenia una fuerte gripe y Emily lo ayuda. Es una historia simple, algo instalove pero ideal para pasar unas horas de lectura, Lucas parece algo que no es y lo va demostrando con el pasar de los capítulos y Emily a pesar de haber pasado una relación un poquito turbulenta no se cierra al amor por lo que son bastante tiernos juntos.

  The heroine is a house cleaner for the hero, when he goes down with a super bad case of the flu, the heroine decides to put everything aside and take care of him. As she nurses him back to health, one night grabbed her and made vicious but pleasing love to her in a matter of minutes. Both of them being shocked with the outcome and the fact that she may be pregnant, take time away from each other. The heroine promises to tell the hero if she is pregnant. As time goes on, our villain causes a bunch of mischief which eventually leads to the hero and heroine getting closer and learning some truth. At the end of the novel they decide to wed and she finds out she really was pregnant, despite the fact her 'period' showed up on time.
  
  It was a pretty good novel, I had great enjoyment reading it and was ecstatic that I was finally reading a worthy novel. The last couple I've read left me banging my head a bit.

  Lucas pulang kerja pada Jumat sore dalam keadaan sakit, dan menjumpai perempuan yang sering membersihkan rumahnya masih berada di rumahnya sore itu. Emily yang merasa tertangkap basah, panik dan buru2 pulang. Namun dia masih menyempatkan untuk memberikan obat bagi Lucas.
  
  Sepanjang akhir pekan, Emily sempat merasa kuatir dengan Lucas. Ketika akhirnya dia pergi menjenguk Lucas, pria itu terlihat berantakan dan makin sakit. Emily memutuskan untuk merawatnya. Lucas sendiri bukan pasien yang ramah. Tapi seiring berjalannya waktu, Lucas tidak menginginkan Emily meninggalkannya.
  Kalau tidak ada kisah tentang mantan Emily yang terkesan psikopat, kisah ini benar-benar flat. Apalagi dengan gaya Lucas yg posesif. 2 bintang sayanrasa cukup untuk Emily si Cinderella

  These two are idiots. Mostly harmless idiots, but idiots. There was some super gross birth control stuff (he tells her she shouldn't/must not get the morning after pill and she's all, oh good I don't have to make that decision - blech). But then we get to the part where her evil ex (who stole from her and cheated on her) is revealed to be a cheater and gay. *sigh*
  
  If the only queer character in your story is a negative/bad character or tragically dies you're being homophobic and you need to stop.

  It was alright 2 people that would maybe never have met if he hadn't got sick. Is she preggers isn't she preggers, who knows? No major angst or blackmail or huge misunderstanding just 2 peeps who get it on and decide they've fallen in love with only minor plot machinations to move the story along. Maybe I just like more drama in my life hence the 3 stars

  Me gustó mucho. Hubo partes hilarantes que me hicieron reír en pleno transporte público mientras la leía; aunque el final se me hizo muy apresurado, como de una situación a otra sin que hubiese algo en medio que las hilara.
  
  Acabo de ver que es parte de una saga!! Espero conseguir las otras novelas para leer la serie completa.

  Ibarat makanan, cerita ini terasa garing (sorry to say)
  Tidak ada unsur wow yang dapat membuat buku ini layak dikoleksi, jadi menurut saya cukup sekali baca saja demi memuaskan rasa penasaran dari tittle "City Cinderella".

  Salah satu alasan suka baca novel harlequin ya karena seringnya pasti happy ending. Termasuk novel yang ini.
  Suka juga interaksi keduanya ini. Chemistry nya berasa antara kedua pemeran utamanya.
  Lucas yang keras kepala, tapi sayang.
  Emily yang suka mengatur tapi nggak tegaan.
  Like it.

  Ceritanya lumayan, tapi konfliknya berputar disitu-situ aja.

  Several risque scenes and at least one is highly implausible. Characters are reasonably well done and the story is entertaining.

  This is a strange one. She's a former secretary who does cleaning while writing a novel. He's a banker. He catches her working on her book in his flat when he comes home early with the flu. She nurses him back to health and there's an incident one night. They bicker and fight constantly. She's prickly, he's grouchy. I guess they are a match made in heaven. To complete the medical vibe, she hurts her ankle later in the story and it's his turn to nurse her. There's an ex in there too.
