A must have, A must read & A keeper!

Ah, this book is marvelous. Yes, it's another Cinderella story... and much much more! Despite the fact that everyone have already read/heard about the Cinderella story, I still suggest you take time in reading this book as it is worth it... That is if you are the kind of person to let your imaginations run free. I was first hesistant myself but I am glad I bought it and read it. Katherine Kingsley added more twist into this famous story, which makes it more appealing, more exciting. The characters she portrayed are more realistic and well formed. She took time in describing the characters to its full impact. Not just a simple prince and princess in love! There is more into each characters - even the secondary ones. The romance and love story.... also well designed. The whole plot have more spices, more adventurous. I don't know what else to say about this book without foretelling and ruining it to those who haven't read it yet. I can assure you that there will be many amusing & unexpected scenes compared to the simple cinderella story we once heard and read. This book was beautifully writtened, it left me day dreaming all day after I read it. Embarassing but true! Enjoy!

Cinderella retold with more depth

Yes, the plot is mainly Cinderella retold, but the caracters have more depth and the scenario is also unique. I really liked the choice of who gets to play the "fairy godmother"... Get it. I'll bet you won't regret it !

The first book I read by this author - I wasn't disappointed

This was a wonderful Cinderella story - I couldn't put it down. It was refreshing to have a strong female lead. It took so long for them to get together, but well worth the wait. Rafe was intriging; I liked the fact that he showed his emotions, but still strong and protective. The other characters in the book were great too - funny. I'm also liked the fact that there were few mind games between the lead characters. I thought this book was very well written.

A wonderful twist of the "Cinderella" story!

This book is an absolute winner! I couldn't put it down, and was almost sorry to see it end. The hero and the heroine were a perfect match, and I wish their story could continue!

Wonderful retelling of the Cinderella story!

This is the first of Ms. Kingsley's books I have read, and I will be sure to read the others. Her Cinderella story, set amidst the conflict of the English and the Irish, was a very well-done romance. Read it, you will not be disappointed.
