Cin Wikkid April Fools For Love Mary Hughes 9781940958088 Books Reviews
Well, welcome to Cinderella in the 21st Century. Cell Phones, tablets, lattes and a glass slipper. No, this is not your Bibbity Bobbity Boo Cinderella story because there is no way the Prince Charming I remember would dare to even try to seduce Cinderella.
It’s really hard to review a classic story as Cinderella. What can I honestly say about the story that hasn’t already been said? So, I guess I have to review the author instead.
I adore Mary Hughes. I love how she took a sweet, sentimental story and turned it into sexy, hot story. I loved how she switched things up with our Prince and made him into a regular man just looking for the woman that would love him for himself and not his position in life or money. She interspersed humor throughout the story and then gave us the serious side. The “fairy godmother” was not what I expected and could not have been any further from what we would envision. The step-mother and step-sisters didn’t change much … why would you want to change them, anyway?
But, the stars of the story were definitely Cin and Rafe/Gideon. Cin was a hoot … sneaking around, keeping a tablet in her bra, and, she worked in a Sub shop? And, our Prince Charming disguising himself and working as a tutor? They were both so far off of what we think of when even saying the name Cinderella that you couldn’t help but be amazed at how wonderful Mary Hughes’ imagination is. But, the night of the Ball really blew me out of the water. Believe me, there was no Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon dancing to “Ten Minutes Ago” around the fountain … it was more like, oh, Anastasia and Christian on a rainy Seattle night.
So, again, Mary Hughes made me smile. Her writing is witty and fun. Cin Wikkid proves that she can really turn just about any story into something hot, fresh and enjoyable. I don’t think I have ever read a classic about love at first sight and thought of how it would be if turned into an Adult story. But, I guess Mary Hughes has.
Review copy provided for an honest review.
This short romantic novella is a contemporary fairytale retelling of the classic Cinderella story. In this retelling, Cinderella lives with her evil stepmother (the Widow Wikkid) and bratty stepsisters... as she studies to be an accountant? She has only a low paying job at a sandwich shop, and dreams of something bigger and better, like a high paying job working at Prince Industries. To get the job, she needs to finish her studies, and she can't seem to wrap her mind around it, so she gets in touch with her online tutor... and promptly falls in love with him. But when he suggests that she goes to a ball held by Prince Industries so that the heir to the empire, Gideon Prince, can choose his bride, Cinderella thinks that he must not love her in return, and her heart breaks. Will she ever find true love?
I really wanted to like this book. I mean, by the description, it sounds like the perfect light and fluffy chick flick. And the beginning of the book, and even the rather predictable end of it, lived up to these expectations. But other than the beginning and the very end, the book was a very sleazy, very trashy romance that had me skipping whole chapters because it was so crude and ungodly. The writing style is as if the author was writing for older children or young adults, but the content itself is completely inappropriate. The only reason I managed to finish the book at all was because it was mercifully short. And even then, I almost didn't finish it. I'm giving it two stars instead of one, however, because the main premise of the story is cute, and because I like the author's sense of humor scattered throughout. But I wouldn't read this book again, and overall, I was quite disappointed.
Three cheers for anything Mary Hughes writes!! Once one of her new books come out it is automatically in my Kendal!!
"Wikkid" Good! I especially like the lesson in the glass slipper and, of course, the happily ever after.
When taking a new twist on an old favorite you have a few choices. You could just update the story and make it a modern equivalent or you could take the heart of the story/ the lesson the story is trying to teach and make that the heart of a new story. This second is what Ms. Hughs has accomplished here and done a fantastic job of it. The "test" a Shakespearean classic, the wisdom a timeless testament to look beyond with a few twists, and the best kind of ending a Happily Ever After!
