Book #139 of 2024: New-to-me author. 

This is a fairly tale re-telling of sorts. There are two snarky sisters and an overbearing mom that all belong to the romantic interest. An old family friend is the fairy godmother. Ella is Cinderella to the wealthy Paxton's role as prince. The fancy blue dress even makes an appearance. It was my favorite fairytale as a young girl. 

Unfortunately, this novella just didn't grab me at any point. I liked the airport scene at the beginning and how Paxton handled things at the end.
