Author Introduction | Lisa Salman

 

Lisa Salman is a Goodnovel author with a plethora of novels under her name, including "His Silver Eyed Luna," "Alpha Ezequiel's Fated Mate," "Oops! I Married A CEO By Mistake," and "Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid."

 

1. Main Theme: Boy Meets Maid

 

"Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid" is, for all intents and purposes, a "boy meets girl" tale (or "girl meets boy," whichever order you'd prefer), with all the usual tropes that stem from that. Not every "boy meets girl" story is exactly the same, but they indeed share some traits.

 

Oftentimes, these stories are fraught with seemingly inescapable conundrums and unsurmountable odds, sometimes related to cultural, financial, or social differences. In this case, we find an orphaned maid (Ashley) falling in love with her faux CEO husband (Justin) even though she wasn't supposed to (nor was he, for that matter).

 

That said, the plot here also delves into other minor related themes, such as "love against all odds" and "good outcomes from awful situations."

 

2. Important Characters: The Maid, the CEO, and His Toxic Fiancée

 

The main characters in this enticing 115-chapter love story are quite easy to spot, but we should also describe some interesting side characters along the way. Let's begin with the protagonists:

 

Ashley Walters

Ashley is an orphaned woman trying to make ends meet. She gets hired as a maid in the De Luca household and is told on her first day that she should marry the heir of the De Luca family in exchange for millions of dollars. Her life would not be the same ever since (albeit money had nothing to do with that shift!)

Justin De Luca

Justin is a successful CEO gifted with everything a man could wish for: Money, looks, and charm. He could have any woman he ever wanted but did not enjoy committing to one. He entered into an engagement with Sarah Garner due to their longstanding friendship and trust, though getting married was the least of his priorities, as we learn somewhere in the novel.

 

Sarah Garner

Sarah is Justin De Luca's "true" and excessively obsessive fiancée. She was initially a bit wary about granny's deal with Ashley but gave in upon learning about the infamous "curse."

 

"Granny" (Electra De Luca)

Granny is portrayed as a very manipulative woman throughout the first few chapters of the novel, as well as highly possessive and overprotective towards her grandson Justin. She gets off to an awful start with Ashley but progressively shows her true demeanor as the story unfolds.

 

3. Point of View of Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

 

The point of view here is all over the place, and quite literally so. This, of course, is intended by the author so that she can then show us what goes on in each character's mind.

 

4. A Maid's Story

 

The story in "Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid" starts with the scene in which Ashley is signing her marriage papers while being incessantly nagged by Electra De Luca (Justin De Luca's grandmother).

 

Ashley was offered 10 million dollars in exchange for staying married to Justin for one year. The reason for this offer was not made clear until later on when granny discloses information regarding "the curse" (which we won't spoil for the purposes of this review).

 

On the other hand, Justin is planning to marry Sarah Garner as soon as the agreement is finalized.

 

However, when Ashley arrives at the mansion, she glances at Justin and immediately falls in love with him, although, for a few chapters, Ashley confuses Sean (Justin's friend) for her husband.

 

She later finds out she'd been tricked by Sean and attacks him. At the same time, she refuses to believe Justin is her husband because he didn't behave the way she thought rich people would normally. Nevertheless, to Sarah's discomfort, Justin and Ashley begin growing fond of each other.

 

Throughout the story, the couple faces several hardships that would threaten their relationship. We also get to witness some interesting character developments, especially regarding granny and Sarah, two people readers would learn to despise early on.

5. Chapters We Fell For

 

Some of the most outstanding chapters in "Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid" include chapter 18 (when Ashley finds out Sean is not her husband) and chapter 86, when granny unveils what "the curse" is about and why Ashley was offered the arrangement. The chapters following 86 were equally engaging and thrilling (particularly 87 and 88), which describe Ashley's accident and the aftermath.

 

6 Writing Style in Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

 

Lisa Salman's writing style is very easy to follow and highly colloquial without being too local. She doesn't skimp on using cuss words whenever the situation calls for them, but there's nothing overly offensive about the language in general.

 

Is Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid Worth Reading?

 

While some plot points may appear a bit outlandish, we can safely say that, for those craving a good old romantic comedy with some tragicomic elements, "Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid" pushes all the right buttons!
