Synopsis:
Darby Quinn has a bone to pick with Cinderella. Burned one too many times by ex-boyfriends, Darby has lost all belief in the happily-ever-after that the fairy-tale princess promised her. She's sworn off love, Prince Charmings, and happy endings and she's happy about it. Really. Or at least she was…until she met Jake, her gorgeous neighbor and the manager of her favorite restaurant. But Darby has rules about dating, ones she's culled from her years spent with so-called “princes,” and starting something with Jake would break all of them.
Charming, fun, and unwilling to give up on her, Jake doesn’t fit any of the profiles Darby has created from her case studies of ex-princes-gone-bad. Finally presented with her own Prince Charming, can Darby take a chance on a happily-ever-after?
Full of wit and sarcastic humor, Cinderella Screwed Me Over proves that sometimes the perfect love, like a perfect pair of shoes, is just within your grasp.
My Review:
Cindi Madsen’s novel is absolutely fantastic. It is such a fresh, fun story. I couldn’t stop reading it and now I’m dying for more. Sequel, please? I want to know what happens to Jake and Darby.
Darby has never been the type of girl that believes in FAIRYTALES but she has given herself one or 3 shots at love never known just quite how it will end. I think she has watched too many Disney movies and thinks happy ever after are pink and candy cotton. Too bad that’s not the real case in real life since love isn’t always black and white there’s a lot of grey in between. She has this a lot of study cases that involve all her not so bad and horrible relationships with a mix of funny and hilarious stories that involves all the princes from Disney. But you know we aren’t an island and we need other significant one to love us and pamper us and there’s when we find Jake one of the hottest guy and owner of Blue, Darby’s favorite restaurant.
Jake gets to knows Darby and wants to be with her and he will do anything to get it. Will Jake find a way to defeat Darby’s rule in love or will he let her go and find another girl without all those rules? But that’s why I loved Jake so much because he kinds of loves a challenge.
The plot was very fast-paced and fun. There weren’t really any surprises to this story but I was okay with that. It wasn’t predictable though. It was such a unique story.
Overall, Cinderella screwed me over is a new favorite of mine. I will be recommending it to everyone I know. Word of warning, though: you will laugh out loud and get some strange looks if you happen to be in a public place.
