About this series
[NOTE: Formerly published as Venus Guy Trap.]
Haydee Miller is rockin’ her Life Plan! She’s got the business degree, the bookstore specializing in Greek mythology, and her dream house. Next on the list is The Man.
So the arrival of the Goddess of Love-turned-fairy godmother, Venus, is serendipitous, isn’t it? Haydee eagerly accepts Venus’s help...until she discovers which Prince Charming Venus has picked out. Haydee would sooner marry the gay butcher than ever get involved with Derek Reed again.
After her last reluctant Cinderella, Venus is thrilled to find a willing "victim" in Haydee. However, this Love Life Makeover is just as hard. Haydee refuses the man Venus knows is The One, and insists on supplying her own choices. Plus Derek--as well as all the lame-oh’s Haydee has picked out--has the hots for Venus instead.
How can glamorous Venus dull herself down to make Derek actually see his True Love Haydee? She’ll try anything to make this makeover a success. Even giving up designer duds, manicures, and salon treatments! But how will Venus survive?
And how will she convince Haydee that the past is in the past, and that Plans are made to be broken?
Just as winning as its predecessor, McKelden’s second novel will appeal to fans of whimsical romantic comedy. ~ Kristine Huntley of Booklist
Titles in the series (2)
- Bad Romance
[NOTE: Bad Romance was formerly published as Venus Envy.] Rachel Greer has given up on love. Every time she takes a chance on a guy, he ends up to have some fatal flaw. Clearly, she lacks good judgment when it comes to men. So she’s devoted her life to volunteering to help the less fortunate, filling every moment of her life with soup kitchens, mentoring and walking the local shelter dogs. Anything to avoid thinking about all the things she’s missing. Like gorgeous firefighter Luke Stanton, who pursues her despite her insistence that she’s not interested. There’s no way she’s taking a chance with her heart again no matter how attracted to him she is. Luke can’t possibly be as good as he seems, and Rachel’s not looking to add another name to her Loser List. Enter the Goddess of Love. Venus has been demoted by Zeus to Fairy Godmother, performing Love Life Makeovers on human Cinderellas. With a quota to meet in order to return to Mount Olympus, Venus doesn’t much care that Rachel refuses to date. Armed with her sultry looks, a Fairy Godmother Rule Book, and a little help from Cosmo, Venus moves into Rachel’s life (and her apartment!), determined to match this Cinderella with her perfect Prince Charming. “Charming. Puts a fresh spin on the classic fairy godmother story, and Venus—catty and generous with her barbed wit—is cut from different cloth than the standard well-behaved fairy. McKelden’s sharp sense of humor pulls plenty of weight.” —Publishers Weekly “Inventive . . . Witty, funny, and truly original, McKelden’s romance is a standout.” —Booklist “A great twist on the fairy godmother story line . . . laugh-out-loud funny . . . A fantastic debut novel.” —Romance Junkies
