Modern Day Cinderella


Audiobook from Audible

 If you are looking for a romance novel with a twist then this is the book for you. It is not steamy as much as it is endearing and romantic. The narrator, Kirsten Potter, did a wonderful job reading this novel. She was able to clearly voice each character, both male and female, so effortlessly that I would forget it was one person reading. Her voice was soothing and had the right inflictions where needed. 

Trigger warning. For those who have suffered family loss, loss of loved ones, or had family conflicts, these are themes found within the novel. It's nothing severe but, after the past year I prefer to mention in case this is something you would prefer to avoid. 

Jude Deveraux very much created a Cinderella story with a modern twist. You have the perfect family until tragedy strikes. Then the wicked stepmother and the father who never admits there is an issue. You have the beautiful step sister with the main character being a plain Jane. When an unknown individual leaves you a house that your sister is trying to steal...it's time for  a change. Oh by the way... your sister let a guy move into your house and now he's your problem. So much family drama but, you know things like this have happened in real life. So as a physical therapist with a guy that injured his leg is now living in her house. What's the worst that could happen? Who is this guy that left her this house? Strange things are happening within the house and with only two of them there how is that possible? Is there an happily ever after? 

You should definitely consider reading this novel. It's a clean read with an antique charm,
