Rating: 3 out of 5

Basically this book is cinderella with a little sex thrown in.It's written in the simplistic style common with bedtime stories. The happenings aren't overly realistic. For example: The girl meets her "Godmother"  and gets the benefits that come with such an event. She never questions the fact that a lady she's never met suddenly starts ordering her around. She just goes along with it, similar to the original cinderella bedtime story.Th difference between that and this book though is the fact that we actually stay around after the wedding. We get to see the wedding night. There's some risque bits, but it never gets overly explicit enough to be considered erotica. We also see the aftermath of the "cinderella" tale and how it affects the characters concerned. This is where the book gets interesting.I wont spoil it any more than I already have, but it was definitely a fascinating read AFTER the "cinderella" bits.My problem with the book is the tone. I can't quite figure out if I should treat it as a bedtime story or as an adult sexy tale. I realize that I'm supposed to treat it as both, but for whatever reason i couldn't. It may be because there wasn't enough sexy bits to justify an adult "parody"-like tale, or there were too many sexy bits to be a comfortable bedtime story. It wasn't even violent enough to be categorized as being like the original bedtime stories/folk tales before they were watered down for the masses.It had all the elements. They were good elements. But they never quite came together for me. It never felt comfortable.3 stars. Maybe you'll end up enjoying it more and giving it more stars if you look at it as part of a new genere, new category, or new type of storytelling.
