Cinderfella Linda Jones Cinderfella Linda Jones AN AMERICAN PRINCESS The daughter of a Kansas cattle tycoon, Charmaine Haley was given a royal welcome on her return from Boston: a masquerade. But the spirited beauty was aware of her father's matchmaking schemes, and she felt sure there would be no shoe-ins for her affection ... ON THE BALL At the dance, Charmaine was swept off her feet by a masked stranger. She hadn't been so spell-bound since Ash Coleman had stolen her heart years before, but suddenly she found herself in a compromising position that had her father on a manhunt with a shotgun and the only clue the stranger left --- one black boot. A SLIPPERY SITUATION Ash Coleman hadn't planned to attend the ball, but he found himself smitten by the grown-up Charmaine. Now, after a stroke of midnight he'd never forget, he suddenly knew that this time when the shoe fit, he was ready to wear it ...

From Reader Review Cinderfella for online ebook Taiyesha-Duchess of Indiana says Cinderfella: A cute and well written 4 star read given the correct mindset This is a very cute book. I'm only 18 so I remember quite vividly my transition from Young Adult Romance to Adult Romance. I wish I could have read this book then! It is a great intro to adult romance book. It has a familiar theme, basic concepts, humor, and an abundance of adorableness. The sex is pretty low steam and I daresay no one will be learning any new tricks or having hot flashes over it. Its a fun read and great read if you are new to Adult romance! Frances Mihulec says This novel is great for a laugh or twenty if you need one. I found it painfully obvious the author has never visited Kansas and/or done proper research on the state, but as far as the romance - but it's pretty decent for a cute, fluff story. To be fair, though, I probably would have adored this book around age 10-12. Ewa says There is something truly magical about these Jones' stories. Her writing isn't top-notch and I've seen better ideas for plot, but I find her stories enchanting. This was real gender-reversed Cinderella. There was mean stepmother with two ugly step-brothers, a godfather, a ball and a shoe. Really good. Shasha says [ they were both virgins for their marriage. (hide spoiler)] Brenda (b) says I thought this one turned out to be quite enjoyable, even though it started out a tad slow. It's set in Kansas in 1895. There's not really as much of a tie-in to Cinderella as I thought there would be – mean stepmother, 2 step-brothers, a ball, loosing a boot -- but that all happened in the beginning. The shotgun, or rather six-gun wedding is where the plot started to go its own way. The ideas of marital continence that Charmaine was brain-washed with were interesting to say the least. And this story falls into that narrow category of having a PDF File: Cinderfella... 3 Read and Download Ebook Cinderfella... virgin hero. It's very much a Fairy Tale ending with everyone getting HEAs, including the step-brothers. Hilari says Funny and sweet This story is very well written. More books like these need to be available today (though this was written in the 90's). Not only for the writers, but for us readers who like a plot and a story. Great book!! Nikki says didn't care about anyone. i like the idea of them being cute when they were younger and I liked the hero's situation. but the characters yuck, indecisive, flippy and didn't believe when they said they 'loved or needed' anything. since they didn't the night before but now they do? Pamela(AllHoney) says Charmaine Haley, the daughter of a rich cattleman, returns home to Kansas after being in Boston for the last 8 years. Her two older sisters are married and living in Boston. Charmaine's father wants at least one of his daughters to remain in Kansas and marry someone who will someday inherit his ranch. But Charmaine wants to return to Boston and has no desire to marry. Her parents decide to have a masquerade ball in her honor with hopes that Charmaine will meet a man. During the ball, Charmaine dances with a masked stranger and later is found in a compromising position which causes her father to get the shotgun out. Ash Coleman knew Charmaine years ago and she had even swore she was going to marry Ash but his life the last few years have been less than ideal. He had no intention of attending the ball, but he changes his mind and then finds himself running from an angry father with a shotgun. A different take on the Cinderella tale. The Cinderella in this story is the hero who is stuck with the stepmother and two stepbrothers. Charmaine, in turn, is the "prince" or princess in this case. It was actually a rather cute story but it didn't reach it's full potential. Nor did it resemble the fairy tale all that much. The evil steps turned out to be irritating but not evil. I'd probably still recommend this to someone looking for a Historical Romance set in the American West. Lara says This revamping of the Cinderella story is fun and sweet. It takes place when Kansas was "out west" and there was still a conflict between farmers and ranchers, like in the musical Oklahoma. The heroine has been sheltered and has developed some naive and contemporary ideals that don't fit well with the realities of life back home. The hero is good-natured, long-suffering, and hard-working. However, he is not experienced on the relationship front, spending his time running a farm. The wicked step-mother is suitably self-centered and spiteful. The step-siblings are appropriately useless. And the heroine's father is quite a character. Having grown up loving musicals like Oklahoma and The Music Man, I enjoyed the way the story developed a great deal. It was sweet and funny and full of misunderstandings. There is even a nasty character who turns out to PDF File: Cinderfella... 4 Read and Download Ebook Cinderfella... be a rat in sheep's clothing. The story is wrapped up really nicely, with a HEA for multiple characters. PDF File: Cinderfella... 5.
