The Cinderella Ball

De: Tayla Alexandra

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She’s a slave to her family. He’s a slave to his work.

Stormy James is a captive of her family. After the passing of her father, she spent her teenage years being mistreated by her stepmother and step-sisters. Now as an adult, Stormy is stuck working in the “family” hotel.

Zander Holloway is next in line to attend The Cinderella Ball, an annual charity auction held at a local hotel. Unlike his father and brother, he has no wish to be gawked at by hundreds of females, or bid upon like a slab of prime-cut steak.

When Stormy nearly runs Zander over with her cleaning cart, she rushes away, embarrassed. Unlike her step-sisters, she has no fairytale dreams of a prince riding in on a white horse to carry her off to his castle. But she does have dreams and nothing, not even a handsome billionaire, can stop her from reaching them.

From the moment Zander sees her, he’s captivated. Determined to find out more about the hotel maid who so easily brushed him off, and held such sadness deep in her eyes, he seeks her out. Neither of them believes in fairytale romance, but one old woman is determined to make them see that The Cinderella Ball is truly magical.

Too Cheesy

Although I never write reviews I read them frequently. I often think people are being mean or talking bad about an authors work when they really should just keep their opinions to themselves. This book, however, was a little too cheesy to just let go. There is very little plot development and the characters are expressing feelings that do not develop in the story. I’m going to go back and check that the narrator is not an AI. It was so robotic that it took any charm out of the book. If your looking for a cheesy teenager hormone type romance that is a quick listen/read than this would be great. It didn’t do it for me though. After the proposal on stage within a week of meeting, I had to turn it off. It’s not realistic.
