She Gets What She Wants

A woman works hard for her dreams and finds love along the way in the sweet contemporary romance that launches the Fearless Fairy Tale series from Wheatley (Love at the Icicle Café). When Devon Jacobs, who’s already low on self-esteem, confesses her long-standing love to her childhood friend Jason it goes horribly—which means it’s the perfect time for her friend Gabby, who works in Hollywood, to call and tell her a television production assistant job is hers for the taking. Devon needs a fresh start and always dreamed of writing for television, so she jumps at the chance. And the move from Indiana to Los Angeles improves her life immediately: she lives in Gabby’s gorgeous guest house in Beverly Hills, impresses the head writer on her show, builds her self-confidence, and strikes up a friendship with actor Ryan Roberts that quickly starts to feel like something more. But her friends from home aren’t as supportive as she hoped they’d be, forcing Devon to choose between them and the new life she’s created. Devon is an admirable heroine and she and Ryan make a cute couple. With as much focus on Devon’s personal growth as on her relationship with Ryan, this charming story effortlessly straddles the line between women’s fiction and romance. (Mar.)
