Cinderella: a REAL life fairytale If a dream is a wish your heart makes then Cindee Ellis is in major trouble. There’s no way Henry Christensen will ever notice her under all those oil stains and brake fluid splattered across her shirt. Unless—she’s dead wrong about him. Join her with this real life fairytale set in the small town of Silver Creek to find out how she’ll work her guts out to make her own happily ever after.
Excerpt ~ Cinderella: a REAL life fairytale
“Hey, Cindee, before I forget. You have a real nice day.”
I nod with about the blankest expression I’ve ever felt, and then he winks. HE LITERALLY WINKS!
My eyes are as big as I can stretch them.
Either Henry Christensen just did that on purpose, or he has something irritating his eye. I want to go with my first choice, but the second one seems more accurate. I’m the girl with no name, until just now, standing in a huge coat, so it’s gotta be the second choice, right?
“Henry? Is that you?” Priscilla’s sticky-sweet voice interrupts.
He doesn’t speak a word as he presses on the gas to slowly start backing up.
“I’ll stop by the station to pick up the trucks in a while. Make sure you’re there,” he says before quickly pulling onto Main Street where everything disappears, except for the faint glow of his brake lights that blink three times.
Is he saying goodbye?
I know other girls back in high school had boys do this to them, but not me. NOT EVER. Not once did a boy tap his brake lights to me. I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.
Such a fun twist on the story of Cinderella. I really love both Cindee and Henry. Priscilla is the perfect nemesis as well. Casting Cindee as a mechanic was a brilliant twist. While I never minded the "damsel in distress" element in most every fairytale, it's nice to have a strong female lead. Both Cindee and Henry have to overcome frustrating family situations, but as always - love overcomes all.

Excerpt ~ Beauty and the Beast: a REAL life fairytale
“Thank you for this.” I whisper into Adam’s ear.
“For what?” He grins.
“For being the kind of man that makes a woman believe there’s a God in heaven.” I nuzzle into his shoulder and close my eyes as the preacher asks us to pray.
Once we finish, the rows of people begin to stand. I wipe under my eyes one more time just to make sure I don’t have mascara running down my face.
In this rendition, Belle is a hairstylist, not a bookworm. Our beast has a bad rep, but he's really just misunderstood. I love how the two of them are in denial of their attraction - truly they just don't want to admit it and run the risk of rejection. But isn't that was love is all about - taking that risk?

Excerpt ~ The Frogg Princess: a REAL life fairytale
“You probably shouldn’t be with a girl like me. I could corrupt a boy like yourself,” I tease, trying to ease the heat flooding my face. How could I push myself on him? I’m cringing inside at being so stupid.
“Nah, I’d happily go as far as you’d allow me,” he softly chuckles. “I just have a promise I made with my brother.”
“A promise?” I narrow my eyes.
“Yeah, we both agreed to wait for marriage.”
I stifle a gasp. Is he for real?
Jewelz Review~
Taya and Felix are simply adorable. She's had a bit of a rough go of it, and the last thing she wants is a relationship. Felix has been waiting for the right woman to come along, and Taya is it. While he never pushes her too hard, he makes it clear that he wants to be with her. I loved watching him slowly break down her walls and that she was able to find happiness after all her struggles.
