My Fair Aussie

About the book: There's more to this Aussie cowboy than meets the eye.

Former grad student Eliza works as a nanny for a self-absorbed trophy wife looking to trade up for a new husband and ditch her child. Eliza will do anything to protect the little girl and open her boss’s eyes. Even if it requires an elaborate hoax.

Then fate hits Eliza with Henry, a bewildered, dirty guy at the bus station. He’s got amazing teeth, cowboy swagger, and an accent to swoon for. Everything is falling into place for a rags-to-riches-style bait and switch. But will it deliver a slice of humble pie to Eliza’s boss—or get Eliza fired?

Worse, refining him might mean losing her heart.

My Fair Aussie is another hilarious contemporary romance from bestselling author Jennifer Griffith. This twist on the classic musical My Fair Lady is a STANDALONE clean romantic comedy with a guaranteed HEA. Fans of authors Victorine Lieske and Jennifer Peel will fall in love with My Fair Aussie.

My review: I LOVED everything about this clever book! I loved the way it's like the old movie My Fair Lady but with a twist! The author has cleverly written this book almost like it's a screenplay, with acts instead of chapters. And each act begins with the title, cleverly changed, of one of the songs from the movie.

I have to say I loved Eliza, the parts where she talks are so funny! She's a college student, she's majoring in linguistics and she works on an exclusive island off the coast of California as a nanny. I'm not sure if there are the types of islands like she talks about working on, but it was really fun the way she describes everything and everyone, especially her boss, more about her later. I loved the way Eliza so obviously cares for her young charge, Sylvie. That's what the whole ruse with Henry is about, protecting her. I really thought that was sweet!

Eliza's boss, Monique-Noelle, Mo-No as Eliza has dubbed her, is terrible. Eliza says she's the world's third worst person, but she might be even higher than that! She truly annoyed me with her treatment of her sweet daughter and the way she's trying to get rid of her husband. I loved seeing her get her just desserts when she got them!

Then there's Henry. The funniest part of the whole book for me was that he's a wealthy man from Australia that Eliza and her friend think is a homeless man they just happened to run into in a bus station. The way they interpret his Australian expressions is just so funny! It kept me laughing through the whole book! I loved that he was such a good sport, going along with whatever Eliza told him to do through the whole book all to get access to a phone that would call Australia. 

This book is so great! I loved the plot, the characters, the humor! Make sure to check it out!

I was sent an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
