Rating:
Summary: Cute, quick story.
Review: A cute story, quick read. A modern day twist on an old theme -- clearly and unabashedly Cinderella. A day brightener.

Review: Ironically, the reviewer below who said this book was like the movie A TOUCH OF MINK actually got me to set aside the rest of my TBR pile and read this book! And I'm really glad I did - I found THE MILLIONAIRE'S PROPOSITION to be wonderfully remniscent of the golden days of movies, although it actually isn't just like the movie cited (one of my favorites). It does have all the delicious optimistic flavor and fun of a Doris Day movie, which I appreciated. Natalie Patrick has a knack for witty banter between the hero and heroine while also keeping the characters sensitive and realistic. I recommend this book highly!

Summary: A Touch of Mink Revisited?
Review: Perhaps the author has never seen the Carey Grant/Doris Day movie "A Touch of Mink" (circa early 1960's), however, The Millionaire's Proposition mimics that story line almost entirely. I realizes certain scenarios are often borrowed in romance novels, but, usually not the entire story! Millionaire does not want wife, does want fling. Nice small-town girl wants marriage, does not want affair. Eventually small-town sweet conquors big-city cynicism. I love the Grant/Day story, I did not love this.
