Narration Conducive To Books Cinderella (Faerie Tale Collection #4)
A girl with a secret and a prince on a mission When Prince Anthony spies Eleanoria Woodston outside her family home dressed as a servant, he knows something is amiss. Pretending to be John, his cousin’s outrider, he decides to take matters into his own hands and figure out why Ella hasn’t been seen at court. And more importantly why the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the kingdom dresses like a pauper. Ella has had her own bout of trials, including losing her beloved father and facing the wrath and jealousy of her stepmother and stepsisters. Becoming a servant doesn’t seem all that bad until the handsome John comes into her life, now he appears to be upsetting everything. Never before has she been so unsettled. Just his presence is making her dream of a life beyond this one. When John invites Ella to the ball and she grudgingly accepts, he wonders if he’s truly losing his mind. How would he ever pull off pretending to be John while obviously hosting the ball as Anthony? Especially when the stubborn girl has made it quite obvious she would never attend a ball with a snobbish prince.

First Line: "Ella picked up the last basket of clothing, her arms strained from attempting to carry the heavy, wet mass the twelve or so feet to the drying line." This is a very non-magical fairytale retelling of Cinderella. All the aspects that made the original story wonderful for me are missing here. There is no fairy godmother, no magical transformation, no running away at midnight and leaving behind a glass slipper, and no sense of awe or wonder at the discovery of the identity of theFor me reading this book was like eating an overly sweet dessert- it just didn't have any substance to it. I could see the author was trying to update the story some and change up the romance but for me there just wasn't enough plot. It was far too much focus on the romantic part of the story for me. If you're a fan of sappy, sweet romances, then this one is for you!
This book was pretty cheesy. It was still good, but it wasn't my favorite.
Re-read 2019An enchanting Cinderella retelling.
The Daddy Issues in this book were too real.... Got me in the feels big time! But it was a cute read, and I enjoyed it.Although this doesn't seem like a very different retelling... There was no Fairy-Godmother, and no 'When the clock strikes 12...' business. There are so many different re-tellings of this story. The one where she goes to the ball wearing her step-sister's stuff, and they shred the clothes off her and scratch her face bloody....And the other version where she loses the slipper
Somehow there was absolutely no conflict in the book. Ella was just a girl who let everyone walk all over her and had low self esteem. The Prince was a pampered boy who got everything he wanted and his parents were perfect. The Prince mentions at the beginning that he didn't want to marry someone he didn't know and would not fall in love easily, but they somehow contradicts himself on what seems like the next page when he falls for Ella after seeing her just once. They say they have "been
A very short, very simple and very sweet version of Cinderella.
