Once upon a time Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the President of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money…and the babysitter.

     Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo.

     But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince that has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after?

     So I confess that I started reading this book cause I saw the cover for Kiss the Girl, the third book of the series and I fell in love with it. When I saw it was the third book of a series I decided to try the first one to see if I was going to like that third book cause I definitively want it. well, lo and behold I went absolutely bonkers for this series and I already bought book 2 and preordered book 3. The sad thing about it? They are not published on paper but hopefully, it will happen. Even if I have the eBooks I need the paper copies!

     Now that I vented a little let us get to the heart of the matter. These series of book are a modern day re-telling of the Disney movies, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid. From the moment Cin meets Ariel, it is a rollercoaster of laughter and humor with a dash of sexy and a lot of self-discovery.

     I loved all the small details that tied this book to the original Cinderella story but what I love the most was this fresh spin on it.

     The book is told in first person POV and though it is not something I love there is once in a while a book (or series of books) that will suck me in and chew me out and leave me wanting more. This is one such instance and I am happy to say I will add Tara Sivec to my list of #FutureAuthorStalker in which if it's a new to me author I'll read everything on their backlog and any future releases.

     I can't wait to start reading In Bed With the Beast. Beast in this book was very intriguing (and rude) and Belle was very mysterious there in the end.
