It was a cute, little story. Nothing really great to me, but not a terrible waste of time either.

I liked the plot and the characters, but docked a star for more content than I would like. Besides the content, though, it was a really cute story. The character development and presentation was very well done.
Content: almost 20 swear words, brief nudity, innuendo, passionate kissing,

The Cinderella Princess was a playful short that came with a prince, an American commoner, and glass slipper and dreamy carriage as well. This charming story told the tale of a man and woman who found love in the strangest of ways. Clean chemistry and sweet romance guarantee that this book will be a happily ever after hit for the true romantic.

A very predictable yet feel good read, but from the title you know what your getting going in, it reminded me of a hallmark film you watch at Christmas, lots of cheese but also lots of tingles.
Emily and Prince Luc are a fab couple that just cant stop kissing... as they try to find him a royal wife, short but incredibly sweet!

The Cinderella Princess by Melissa McClone was a cute story. Luc made such a bad first impression when he met Emily that I couldn't help but laughing out loud as I was reading. I enjoyed watching their love unfold while Emily was focused on helping Luc find his future wife. The entire concept of this story was a great one. Spoiler Alert: there were a couple of things I would have liked to read tho: 1. Luc renouncing his title in front of his parents and their reactions; 2. A wedding or a little more beyond where the story ended; 3. At least 1 sex scene. I feel that they can enhance the story and this one was a little too G rated for my personal preferences. Overall, I did enjoy the story and it's one I could see myself picking up again. I give this book 4 stars and look forward to more from this author. Note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Playboy- check, fun-check heart of Gold- what in the world no way that is not something any one who knows Luc would describe him to have. Emily, is hardworking and is ready to be partners when she has one more task at hand or so she thinks.
I LOVED this book the storyline is amazing, its a real pager tuner, I had a hard time putting the book down. While the story is short the storyline is not its amazing and well written for sure. The chemistry with the characters was subtle but was jumping off the pages at every turn, to me that makes not only a great book but a great author to do something so hard but make it look so easy.

For someone with such strong opinions, Emily was very quick to toss it all aside for Prince Luc. Too quick if you ask me. Upon seeing a 5-minute interaction between him and a sick kid, she change her opinion of him. OK, I get that. But to change it so drastically that she wishes she could be his princess? Really?

Review
For someone with such strong opinions, Emily was very quick to toss it all aside for Prince Luc. Too quick if you ask me. Upon seeing a 5-minute interaction between him and a sick kid, she change her opinion of him. OK, I get that. But to change it so drastically that she wishes she could be his princess? Really?
It is never really explained how this falls under her job description.
I hate to say it, but my basic opinion of this book is as follows….
Writing skill: poor
Editing: good
Character development: poor
Romance: PG and instant
Concept: good
Execution: poor
“Vivianca called me to see how you liked the cookies. I didn’t realize I was supposed to share. So here I am, milady, with cookies and a glass of warm milk for you.”I found the writing to be very stiff and the dialog was overly proper. People just don’t speak so formally on a daily basis. There were absolutely no unique character voices, which I found particularly frustrating given the vast difference in background between the two main characters.
“Women want their husbands to have the whole package. That means looking beyond the surface. Let’s face it. His personality needs a complete overhaul. The guy’s not only arrogant and obnoxious, but he’s also—”I suppose the best way to explain is that everything is chopping and lacks any sort of depth. It just reads as one sentence, then the next rather than one cohesive story. Almost as if it was a statement of facts instead of a consuming story you could dive into.
“Right here,” a familiar royal voice said
“You intrigue me, Emily Rodgers.”
“Well, you baffle the hell out of me, Prince Luc”

I want to marry Prince Luc! ...Emily couldn't help but be caught up in Luc's big loving heart, gorgeous looks and his slightly sad story. This story was so good....a perfect royal love story
