Of course it is unrealistic. That's why we read fairy tales. But oh! Just imagine how sweet it would be! Lucy is charming and Nathaniel a real hero I this story. Sweet happy romance.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful Christmas time read
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012
You know Christmas time is coming when I start cracking out the Christmas books. This year I decided to start getting into the holiday spirit by reading this book. I've been reading Harlequin's since I was 11 (probably shouldn't have been) but those were often the only books left in the house that I hadn't read already. Anyways Harlequin's have had a special place in my heart since then.

After a tough week at school I wanted nothing more than to settle down and read something easy, quick, cute, funny, and christmas-y. I was actually surprised by how much I liked this book. Sometimes, I find that though I've got love for the Harlequin books they get a little too corny for my tastes. This one had a Cinderella twist to it so I suppose it was a little corny. I like corny. I wouldn't be with my better half this long if I didn't (I mean that in a nice, loving way Babe). But I enjoyed it immensley.

It had the cheese factor but it was not over done. I found Lucy Bright the protagonist to be quite likeable, and I hated her Fiance Rupert for using her to make money (the sad thing is men actually do take advantage of women for financial gain more than we think). So I was glad that she found her Happily Ever After. I like how though she was blonde, she was not a ditz! Thank you Liz Fielding for giving readers a heroine with a brain and a sense of humour. I loved the ending!

All in all it was a cute, Christmas love story where I connected to the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars His Christmas Cinderella?
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2010
As magical as the holiday season to soon be upon us, Mistletoe and the Lost Stiletto by Harlequin Romance author Liz Fielding was not only magical, it was charming, truly a Cinderella meets Prince Charming love story.

Lucy Bright was determined to get away from the man she was due to marry, because he not only lied, he deceived her in a most terrible way. Facing him at a press conference and taking a file from his office, she fled the press conference with his bodyguards chasing her. She spotted the upscale department store, Hastings and Hart not before breaking off the heel of one of her red stilettos during her attempted dash to hide. All Lucy could think of was the entire betrayal of her fiance and wanted just to hide in the department store restroom. However, while fleeing up the back stairs she stumbles and literally falls into the arms of Nathaniel Hart, and there is immediate chemistry between them. She takes his breath away but not for long because again she escapes his grip.

Nathaniel Hart was know overseeing the family business because his cousin wasn't able to perform those duties. He was an excellent architect and had broken his father's heart when he hadn't wanted to become involved with Hastings and Hart. Thanks not all that got broken, one learns later on in this incredible love story, that Nat also got his heart broken when the woman he loved, his cousin's wife was killed in a car accident. He didn't do Christmas but he felt obligated to be working at the store. He was also determined to find the owner of the shoe left in the stairwell and to find out why body guards were chasing her.

You'll love Lucy Bright's character. As a baby, she was abandoned by her extremely young mother, raised in foster care, worked many jobs to get her degree in business. She was also exploited and plotted against by her fiance. At one time she worked with young children, so when the opportunity to hide at Hastings & Harts came up to be one of Santa's elves and pose as someone else, she took it. However, no where to go, sleep or eat, you can imagine when Nat finds her taking a shower with her discarded elf costume, it was quite fun to read. This young woman sometimes said things she shouldn't, she was fierce, extremely honest and she took his breath away. Nat was determined to care for her until he could sort things out so he offered her one of the rooms in the penthouse above the department store.

The chemistry was amazing between them and she needed his help and actually, in the end, he needed her as well. Christmas just around the corner, no color, no decorations in his home, all work and no play, they went out into London's snowfall, talked and shared, built a snowman, made Christmas angels and kissed. Nat Hart was truly a Prince Charming because he was determined to help her sort out where everything had gone wrong with her ex-fiance, his betrayal to his company/employees and the media because the file Lucy was holding could seriously put the man behind bars.

Do you believe in love at first sight? I do because personally that's what happened in my life and for Lucy and Nat the same thing for each of them. Just amazing to read their story and the lengths they both went to heal and help other. Have tissues near by when you read about Nat's plans to make everything right and to give them their happy ending. A lovely holiday romance, one you absolutely won't want to miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christmas Cinderella Romance!
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2010
Suddenly Lucy Bright had everything a girl could want. From getting noticed during a secretarial job interview to becoming the fiancee of retail tycoon Rupert Henshawe, this modern Cinderella has a fairy tale life... until she discovers everything is a sham! All her dreams were the manipulations of a clever publicity stunt. As Lucy runs away from Rupert, the false dreams, and the media buzz, she accidentally falls straight into the arms of Nathaniel Hart. From the moment Nathaniel sees her eyes, he is drawn to the mysterious woman, wanting to protect her. Just as quickly, she slips through his arms. Will Nathaniel be able to find the woman of his dreams? Even more daunting a task awaits him. If he finds her, will he be able to get her to trust him? Having been fooled once, will Lucy find true love, the kind of love that transcends the glitz by reaching down to the heart?

MISTLETOE AND THE LOST STILETTO is a fun modern twist on the Cinderella story, complete with references to Twitter, CCTV cameras and cell phones, that also stirs the heart a timeless Christmas message. Liz Fielding does an excellent job at showing the emptiness of the false glamor of a fairy tale in name only. Precise imagery heightens the sensation of Lucy's fear as she escapes the media and Rupert. This hint of action and light suspense keeps the reader glued to the pages as Nathaniel tries to hunt her down. From the beginning, Liz Fielding presents Nathaniel as a man of honor and generous spirit as he aims to protect Lucy as a patron of his store. Liz Fielding deftly creates a contrast between Rupert, seen mostly through his advertising handlers, and Nathaniel, seen directly through his own thoughts.

MISTLETOE AND THE LOST STILETTO is a wonderful romance to read during the Christmas season. As all the advertising and emphasis on commercialism revs up into high gear, this modern Cinderella story lays bare the emptiness of the media frenzy with a story of the heart. Together, Lucy and Nathaniel find something more solid and richer, something beyond appearances. MISTLETOE AND THE LOST STILETTO is a playful, whimsical Cinderella romance from start to finish and at the same time, a Christmas romance that rejuvenates the heart. A romance must read for the holidays and a perfect Christmas gift for the romance reader too!

I don't know how Liz Fielding does it. This is a cherish; sweet and tender romance - but the pages sizzle with sensual, sexual tension more so than some of the hotter romances in the M&B genre I've read. Loved it.

This really is a fairy tale story come true. Lovely, light and fun, too. It gave me some laugh out loud moments, and a lump in the throat, with real, believable characters.

I liked the Twitter/Tweeting ideas that ran through it, too

I've just reread this and I forgot how good it is. Nat and Lucy's story isn't just perfect for Christmas, but for any other time you feel like a little lift. Beautifully written, it fun, emotional and once again I couldn't put it down. I don't think this will be the last time I revisit it either.
