Blurb:
Orphaned
shop girl Cinder, and Rome, the Prince of the Fae, have been best friends most
of their lives. And she’s loved him for just as long. But with the death of her
father, she’s now trapped as the sole breadwinner for her stepmother and
half-sister—leaving little time for anything more than dreaming of getting
away.
Rome
loves Cinder as well, but her free spirit and lack of noble blood have stood in
the way of him doing something about it. That is until his father, the king,
decrees a three-part contest will determine Rome’s new bride.
Even
though Cinder possess more magick than has been seen in a hundred years, only
those with the highest royal blood are able to enter the contest; leaving
Cinder out of the running for good. That is until a Fairy Grandmother steps in
with a disguise and a plan.
But
a hidden evil has been scheming for centuries and is vying to be more than just
Rome’s new bride. It wants all of Ville DeFee.
Cinder’s
magick can stop those out to ruin her kingdom. But it may mean giving up her
life to do it.

Review:
Cinder
the Fae puts a slightly different spin on the Cinderella story. Yes, Cinder is
the orphan child of a nobleman, but she was born “on the wrong side of the
sheets,” and her father never acknowledged her or told her who her mother was.
Therefore, the assumption is that Cinder is descended from a servant, and is
only half royal blood, which she can’t even legally claim.
Cinder
still has an evil stepmother, but she and her half-sister have a close and
loving relationship—when the stepmother isn’t looking. As for the Prince, he
and Cinder have been friends all their lives. Her father was the king’s most
trusted advisor, and as a child she had free run of the castle. Now all grown
up, they’re in love, but neither has had the courage to admit it to themselves,
let alone each other. Until the king gets tired of waiting for Prince Rome to
choose a wife and declares the young noble
ladies of Ville de Fee must compete for his hand. The one with the strongest
magick will win. It’s too late for Rome to declare his love for Cinder or
propose to her, and she’s not allowed to compete, despite the fact her magick
is superior to everyone else’s in the kingdom.
But
Rome’s grandmother has a niggling feeling at the back of her mind—a not-quite
memory of someone who looked a lot like Cinder. Someone of noble birth with
strong magick. But she can’t quite put her finger on it. The harder she tries
to remember, the farther it recedes. One thing she does know—Cinder has the
strongest magick in the kingdom, and loves Rome as much as he loves her. Cinder
must compete and win the competition. So, she uses a bit of her own magick to
help Cinder with a disguise.
However,
just winning the contest and Rome’s hand isn’t enough. There’s more at stake.
Before they can marry and celebrate their wedding, the evil that’s been lurking
within the castle kidnaps Cinder. And they don’t want ransom; they want to keep
her prisoner and use her magick.
Cinder the Fae was another good read,
but it was tarnished by inadequate editing. It’s such a shame when an author
suffers from errors that should have been found by her editors. Otherwise, I
highly recommend this story about a damsel who is definitely not in distress. Well, not totally.
