There was a step-family who was basically just stupid, not evil. This was a clever adaptation of Cinderella, very very loosely based. There is some very swoon worthy romantic moments and they show themselves in unsuspecting ways. It is not all sadness and trauma, though. I think it is because he talked to her about women even when he claimed he was in love with her. I don’t usually mind the whole playboy angle, but for some reason it bothered me in this book.

You made me remember how to feel, how to care about someone other than myself.”Įlla and Brian (Cinder) share a love for a series of fantasy novels that are currently being made into a movie. Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement-or his fake fiancée-but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her-her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home and her awful new step-family, she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young child. It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother.
