Poor Cinderellie! It was bad enough being banished to the kitchen by her social-climbing stepmother and two husband-hunting stepsisters. Now, still wearing a Cinderella costume from a previous party, she found herself face-to-face with Jack Martin, the handsome venture capitalist who'd doused cold water on her dream of opening a restaurant!
Ellie Branson thought her nightmare would end when the clock struck midnight...and the party ended. But Jack showed up the very next day, bearing an offer she couldn't refuse. And though this Cinderella knew better than to believe in fairy tales, her millionaire suitor seemed determined to prove otherwise!

Listening to this book in Audioquin. A re-telling of a classic story. She lives with her step-mother and her step-sisters. I enjoyed it even I had and idea of what is going to happen. She is a chef he is a business man. To be honest I always listen to Harlequin books but i don't included them in my challenge till now. well my guilty pleasure. April or may hard to say!
I was ready to give this a 4. It started off cute with a lot of direct parallels to the fairy tale. But at the end, it just goes sideways with a long break in time and sudden changes in Ellis's relationship with her stepmother & sisters that really don't have a 'good' reason for being. It sort of ruined it for me and took what had been a charming read to the level of mediocre.
