Product Description:
THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF CINDERELLA IN EVERY WOMAN . . .
. . . except Darby Landon, or so she thinks before meeting the three fairy godmothers of Glass Slipper, Ltd. They guarantee they can bring out the princess in any woman. But they’ll have their work cut out for them with Darby, who’s more comfortable in jeans and cowboy boots than designer gowns. But when she’s called from her Montana ranch to squire her impossible-to-please father’s star client around the D.C. social scene, Darby has to turn into the queen of chic . . . and fast.
Between torture-chamber sessions of tweezing and teasing, and horrifying lessons on place settings, Darby finds herself drawn into a fairy-tale romance of the very adult variety with Shane Morgan, the devastatingly sexy (and reluctant) heir to one of the city’s largest companies. But when another Prince Charming arrives on the scene, Darby‘s caught between the woman she is and the woman she’s supposed to be, between two very different irresistible bad boys. Now Darby has to choose her own happy ending . . . and with the help of three very unusual fairy godmothers, this modern-day Cinderella is determined to stay dancing way past midnight—no pumpkins required.

I had to take this book back to the library without finishing it because the characters really started to annoy me. One of the things that makes contemporary romances fun to read is that the characters are real people. They have flaws, like everyone else. This book was about two perfect people, with their two perfect lives, get together. There was no mystery...what you expected to happen, happened.

This was the very first Donna Kauffman novel I read and I loved it. Darby and Shane had very good chemistry along with amazingly witty lines. The Godmothers do play secondary parts and you really only explore their characters in "Dear Prince Charming"
Personally, I loved it. But I just recently read "The Big Bad Woolf Tells All" which was SO much better. But I absolutely adore the ending of "Cinderella Rules"
It does have quite a few adult scenes, so reader should not be under the age of 14 or 15.

This was a fantastic book, but only for girls(I don't think a guy would want to read this) over 14 or 15, some very mature parts, I loved it, but wouldn't want a little sister reading it.

Sisters Darby and Pepper couldn't be more different. Darby is grounded and prefers the wilds of her ranch in Wyoming to the schmoozing of Washington DC. When Pepper calls her in desperation to take her place as the date of one of their father's business associates, Darby reluctantly agrees. Enter the makeover mavens from Glass Slipper, Ltd. They specialize in taking even the toughest gal and turning her into a princess. They will have their work cut out with Darby.
Shane, the nephew of one of the founders snags a seat on the limo and instantly is attracted to Darby, and watches with amusement as she endures her makeover hell. The story starts out with so many possibilities, and is quite humorous. Then suddenly it becomes an industrial espionage story invovling Interpol and becomes so convoluted, that you just want to say "enough already!!"
I was disappointed - had she stuck with the original premise, the story would have been a fresh take on the fairy tales we grew up with. This one isn't on par with "Dear Prince Charming" or "The Big Bad Wolf Tells All" - might as well skip Cinderella, as this glass slipper does not fit.
Rated by buyers -
I'd give this book 2.5 stars if I could, but then I'd need to subtract one for the continual use of the words "murmured" and "muttered" -- it was all Darby seemed to be doing--- aside from Shane that is.
I thought this book was a real silly story, but since I started on a plane, it helped me to sleep. An over-blown "romance" would be an apt description. I guess I'm just fed up with shallow, self-absorbed characters like Darby and Shane who do nothing but each other, and moan (mutter!) about how they just want to be HAPPY and FULFILLED with their LIFE CHOICES, despite the piles of cash the family has. Boo hoo.
I agree with the other reviewer- when Interpol was thrown into the mix, I returned the book to the library. It was just, well, boring, and I found nothing compelling about the main charcters, the "godmothers" (I kept thinking Golden Girls) or the whole silly premise of the "rules" (darlings.)
