domarisdione's review against another edition
3.0
I found this book to be an enjoyable read; it flowed easily with a pleasant style of writing and minimal editing errors.
I genuinely liked the main characters and the tone of the novel enough that I would like to read the two precursors.

The Lear Sisters Trilogy by Julia London
Material Girl, Beauty Queen, and Miss Fortune.
Material Girl – Oldest sister Robin is a high powered V.P. at daddy’s company a job she is ill prepared for and frankly sucks at. Meet Jake a guy from the wrong side of the tracks trying to make it as a contractor while studying architecture.
Beauty Queen – Middle sister former Miss Texas, Rebecca, is newly divorced from her childhood sweetheart with a small child who cries for his nanny. Meet man whore Matt the lawyer with a heart.
Miss Fortune – Sweet, quirky, baby sister Rachel professional student and self-saboteur. Meet Flynn investigator for Lloyds of London.
I really liked the fact that I could relate to all three sisters. I wasn’t sure I would because I mean “poor little rich girl” times three. But even rich girls have daddy issues. All three girls could be someone you’ve met. Pushy over achiever Rachel, underestimated good looker Rebecca, and Rachel with a heart of gold who lets everyone walk over her because she never feels good enough.
Warning somehow Jake’s nephew Cole from Material Girl turns into his son in the next two books.

"Despite what her family believes, Rachel Lear does want to take control of her life. After investing four years on her still-to-be-completed doctorate, Rachel wants to graduate and find a "real" job and a boyfriend. Thus, when her friend Dagne offers to whip up a spell to help out, Rachel is willing to ignore her natural skepticism of all things magical and participate. Shortly thereafter, Rachel starts bumping into sexy Englishman Flynn Oliver. Intrigued by the delightfully charming Rachel, Flynn, who is in Providence working on a case, desperately wants Rachel to know she doesn't have to work any magic to get his attention; he is already under her spell. With a saucy wit, London brings her delightful trilogy featuring the Lear sisters, including Beauty Queen, to a triumphant conclusion, and her sharp, snappy writing style is the perfect complement to this deliciously entertaining story of a not-so-ugly duckling who discovers her own true worth." (From Amazon)
Miss. Fortune is a great conclusion to the Lear trilogy...it keeps it's humour and a cute romance.
