When her stepsister needs a stand-in at her betrothal ball, Kate Daltry is forced by her stepmother to take her sister's place. There she meets Gabriel, an impoverished young prince who needs a rich bride to support his run-down castle and wayward relatives. Even though he is drawn to Kate, Gabriel must marry the princess that his brother has picked for him.

This is a fun retelling of Cinderella. I thought the first couple of chapters were choppy and wasn't sure where the story was going. But this book is full of eccentric characters, a trio of Maltese known as "the rats", and a hilarious Godmother named Henry. Don't be put off by the modern language in this story...just ignore it. It's a fairy tale. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
