Cinderfella [Paperback]

Linda Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 5, 2008

As Stuart Haley grew older, year by year, he worried more and more about the security of his famous Cattle fortune. He had raised his daughters in the lap of luxury--they wanted for nothing--and all three girls had matured into lovely young women. But as he aged, Stuart craved the security that only a proper heir could provide. The two older daughters had fallen in love and left him--Stuart's only chance was that his youngest daughter, Charmaine, marry a local man and carry on in the family tradition. But that wasn't going to be easy? Independent and brash, Charmaine Haley had a life of her own, far away in Boston. It would be up to her father to make her return to Kansas so incredible that life in the North would pale in comparison. A masked ball, on par with the greatest of fairytales, would be the event of a lifetime. But to succumb to passion from behind a mask could be a cruel twist of fate--leading Charmaine back through the torment of old mistakes she thought she'd left behind forever. Could the specter of true love be only old pain in disguise?

5.0 out of 5 stars I found the romance in this book to be exceptional., August 3, 1999

This review is from: Cinderfella (Faerie Tale Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really liked this book because their was so much romance between the two main characters (Charmaine and Ashe). The story is also intriguing and the characters are believable in their dillemas. I thought the relationship and the romance between the two main characters was exceptional. I could not put this book down. I think the only flaws were that some of the situations in the book seemed a little eccentric (i.e. the shotgun wedding), but the same situations added to the story. Overall, I thought this was an exceptional book and I will definitely look for Linda Jones books in the future to read. I give it a 5 star rating!!

I have always been drawn to the tale of Cinderella. I love the whole idea of the handsome,rich,kind prince finding true love in a beautiful,poor,kind girl and making her his own. Well this story is the same except the roles are reversed. The hero, Ash is a handsome, poor, kind farmer who prides himself on doing things his way and not taking handouts. The heroine, Charmaine, is the beautiful, rich, kind, liberated woman who has always secretly loved Ash. She comes back home to Kansas for a visit and finds her whole world turned upside down.
She has very specific ideas about marriage and love and thinks she will never marry, her father has other ideas.

This is a light story that makes for an enjoyable afternoon read.

This is a light, cute, fun read. Execellent for a rainy day, or a day when you'd like to be left alone. A nice spin on an often told tale.
