3.5+ starsWith the premise being yet another "Cinderella" story, I wasn't sure that I'd like this book. Then again, Eloisa James is one of my favorite authors in the romance genre, so I thought I'd give it a try.To my surprise, I found the story witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and refreshing. It might ...
What a beautiful story! Eloisa James does a lovely job of staying true to the whimsical, ultra romantic aspect of a fairy tale in this retelling of Cinderella. And boy, was it romantic! Kate is the orphaned girl, with the evil stepmother who basically strips her wealth and status from her after he...
I really want to give this one a higher score, but I had one major issue with it...the time period. I didn't know exactly when it was set until there was a random reference to Napoleon's sister thrown in. The clothing gives you a hint that it's a period piece, but a lot of the dialogue comes across ...
And the first read of the new year is... Romance... jigga-buwah? I know, I know. I just lost all kinds of street cred. Yes. I'm just as confused about it as all of you are. We all know that I am a genre girl. However, the pantheon of genre fiction writing is very different from one another. Some gen...

Ultimately the anachronisms depressed the rating of this one. That and the thin plot holding up the over-stuffed and over-long story. Eloisa James is a new find for me. This series is all based on fairy tales and, as such, I do expect them to veer away from traditional historical novels. But I canno...
I absolutely adore this book. Even if i took my time with it, I loved it. Kate Daltry; the heroin and Cinderella of the story, She is a strong, doesn't give a damn about anyone's opinion, will do as she's told; even if she doesn't want to, and knows nothing about romance. Her Stepmother, Mariana, wa...
I loved this take on Cinderella!The is a really sweet story, if you want something realistic this is not it, but if you want something fun and romantic. I suggest this one.
Eloisa James' A Kiss at Midnight is a fairytale retelling - Cinderella with a regency twist - and I loved every minute of it. Kate has been at the mercy of her wicked step-mother, Mrs Daltry, ever since her father died seven years ago. She does her best to look after her father's estate while Mrs ...
For some reason I kept putting this book aside to read something else. I actually read her 2nd book in this series first and really enjoyed it so thought I'd read this one. I'm not much of a fan of the prince or princess marrying below themselves. It stretches believability. But once I made up m...
