Source: Received from eBooks for Review.
Genre: Modern Day Retelling
Book Description: Cinderella:
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.
Beauty and Beast:
There's a tale as old as time of two people falling in love, but what happens when Belle won't have anything to do with it. Join her with this real life fairytale set in the small town of Silver Creek to find out how she’ll transform the town's beast into a handsome prince with her heart, not her beautician skills.
The Frogg Princess:
Taya is almost there. Join her in this real-life fairytale, set in the small town of Silver Creek, as she plans to start a new life by opening a little restaurant. Only to find a few rude people that don’t seem to welcome her. But that doesn’t seem to bother Felix Frogg, a local police officer, and the love-at–first-sight reactions he keeps tossing her way. If Taya isn’t careful with the way her heart is softening towards Felix, she could be walking into a lifetime commitment of happily ever after that wasn’t in her plans
My thoughts:This is a cute collection that has three modern day retellings of some of my favorite Fairy Tales: Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and the Frog Prince.
The women are strong characters who take control of their lives. They just happen to meet and fall in love with the man of their dreams in a small town. The town is unique, when the men fall in love, they fall in love fast. There is not playing games with them. They find the woman of their dreams and they move on it, she falls in love quickly and they get married.
There are a few plot twists and changes from the original. The stories move quickly and are fun to read. I am looking forward to read more about the people in this strange town. I think that Sleeping Beauty is next.
The books contain some innuendo and kissing.
