Slippery When Wet
He won’t let her slip through his fingers...
Notoriously clumsy Cyndee Wilson often feels she can never do anything right. But despite being a klutz, she has an ailing father and two younger sisters to look after, so she accepts the job as dishwasher at a high-end restaurant. When a coworker looks past the clumsiness and lets Cyndee work as door hostess for the restaurant gala, Cyndee never dreams she will cross paths with Enrique Castillo, one of the world's most eligible bachelors.
Neither does she suspect that cozying to this prince means an invitation to the Player’s Ball, the exclusive, down-and-dirty club for the rich. At this scorching soiree, Cyndee cannot deny the sizzling attraction she and Enrique feel, nor resist an after-midnight tryst where being slippery when wet is a very good thing…
But when Enrique’s hot and decadent world begins to intimidate her, Cyndee figures it’s okay to bail. After all, she is accustomed to good things slipping away. The problem is, Enrique is not about to let true love slip away. And one slip up, one misstep...means Enrique's entire kingdom will come crashing down.

I ended up enjoying this unique take on Cinderella. I'd put it at the halfway mark between "sweet" and a lot of the "dark" fairy tale versions I've been reading lately. There were some parts I wish weren't as rushed paced, but it was good overall as I enjoyed being able to visualize everything.

Fairytale retold
This is the re-telling of, you guessed it, Cinderella. There is, of course a modern twist and instead of the evil step sister we have a cousin. But there are a load of problems with this re-telling (1) there is absolutely no character development, (2) there are numerous errors (3) there was very little if any editing. I had whole paragraphs that were repeated. Just NO. If you are gonna tell a story tell it right!

The story was sort of a modern-day Cinderella retelling and I found it more engaging than most short romances I read. However, there is an extensive amount of errors in the writing style, not just grammar but the way the author narrated changed from first to third person speech from one sentence to the next along with repeat sentences made for a very confusing read. But considering this is a new author I think there is actually a lot of future potential for Blaire Cox with more knowledge and some help she could be really great. I look forward to learning where this author's career leads her.
