No. 4: A Kiss at Midnight

A Kiss of Midnight by Eloisa James

Yet another fairytale remake - this one based on Cinderella. There were quite a few similarities (maybe moreso than the others) but enough differences that you really have no idea what is going to happen until it actually does.

The FMC is the Cinderella character, she is coerced by her wicked stepmother into impersonating her step-sister on a visit with the step-sister's finacee to meet his Uncle, a prince, to get the prince's approval of the engagement before the marriage can take place.

The Prince is (of course) gorgeous and wildly attracted to the FMC despite her purported engagement to his nephew and his own engagement to a russian princess. And there is a godmother, and rats (such as they are) and glass slippers and a royal ball and everything you could want in a Cinderella story!

I should also note that I read 3 of the 4 Eloisa James books in 1 day - they are kind of addicting. Too bad I killed my monthly book budget and it is only the 4th of the month, because she has written TONS of books I am dying to read!
