What's better than romance? Fairy tales of course! Eloisa James tells a great version of Cinderella in A Kiss at Midnight. Miss Kate Daltry is our Cinderella in this fun tale of triumph over unjust family circumstances. Her evil stepmother orders her to pose as her stepsister, which results in a stay at a castle with a single prince. She's supposed to act like her betrothed sister, but when she encounters the handsome Prince Gabriel, she has a little trouble sticking with her part. The prince is supposed to marry a princess, but there's nothing romantic about societal rules. So, do you think Kate gets her prince? Eloisa James was clearly inspired when she wrote this story. If you're not hooked on Ms. James after reading this book (or her other twist on a fairy tale classic, When Beauty Tamed the Beast), then you may want to switch to science ficiton instead. This is a truly fun read for grown-up girls.
