Short Story Review-Once Upon a Weekend by Tina Swayzee McCright

Synopsis

Sometimes a curse is really a blessing...When Hannah Lawrence agrees to manage a hair salon in a castle, she doesn't expect fairy tales. Then she finds herself alone in the salon with the owner's hunky brother, and magic sizzles between them. But can she forget her past long enough to embrace it?

Contractor Tate Browning doesn't believe in magic. But when he makes the wrong comment to the wrong witch, his hair starts growing fast and won't stop. He's determined to finish the work he promised his sister--but how can he concentrate with the salon's beautiful new manager around?

When Hannah discovers that Tate must prove himself worthy three times to remove the curse, he refuses to believe it--but magic cannot be denied. Will Tate and Hannah need a fairy godmother to find their happily ever after?

My Thoughts

If you’re a fan of short stories than Once Upon a Weekend is the hidden gem you’ve been looking for. Tina Swayzee does a great job putting a modern twist on the classic story of Rapunzel. Instead of the heroine letting her hair down, it is the hero who is trying to keep his golden locks from harm. Hannah Lawrence and Tate Browning are brought together under some extenuating circumstances and are forced to spend the weekend together. While the two work to get Tate’s sister and Hannah’s boss, Kate, salon ready for the grand opening, some things go unplanned and now the two have to team up to fix it. Once Upon a Weekend is a fun, flirty and fantastic tale with the happily ever after we all want when it comes to love stories. Most short story readers would agree, some elements tend to just pop up, and in some situations, and this rang true in Once Upon a Weekend. But, this is the element that also makes the story great since the plot line moves along in a quick, tit for tat manner. Once Upon a Weekend is a great read for those who love modern and magical twists on classic fairy tales.
