Review: Tidal by Emily Snow

Tidal by Emily Snow Blurb from Goodreads : Now that Willow Avery is out of rehab, she's got one chance left to prove herself before she’s officially on every producer’s crap list.

After he smears her article on his show, nearly costing Macie her job, she devises a plan to masquerade as a modern-day Cinderella and get her revenge on the infuriating Texan.
