Kitty's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 I wasn't sure how my psyche was going to take reading a true romance story. I have been reading so much paranormal and heavy romances, that I didn't know how I was going to react to true, unadulterated romance. Well, my heart swelled and I shed a few tears but I made it through this amazing book about true love and Cinderella finding her Prince Charming. 
 First impressions are just wonderful things. And Emily's first impression of Prince Luc is a hysterical. Hung over, naked and a woman's voice making its way through his fog filled brain has him wondering just what he did last night and why there was a woman demanding he get up and get dressed. As he rolls over, as he sees the vision in front of him and as he goads this uptight, straight-laced demanding woman, he can't but wonder what it would take to get her to relax and have fun. 
 Emily is a woman on a mission. It's up to her to get the Reality TV show back on line after its star, Prince Luc, just disappeared. With no Princesses lined up to date the playboy, bad-assed Prince, she has her work cut out for her. The last thing that she needs is a stubborn, hung-over Prince being defiant and ignorant. Her job is on the line, her promotion is on the line and she will not allow this arrogant man to throw her off course. 
 As the story unfolds and you see just what kind of a man Prince Luc really is and you watch Emily fall in love with him, your heart breaks and a tear slips your eye. She's not a Princess, she's not royalty. He will lose his inheritance, his title; he will be disowned by the King if he doesn't bring home a Princess Bride. She has to find him the perfect woman to stand by his side or he could lose everything that he worked so hard for. All this at the expense of breaking her own heart. 
 OMG, what an ending to this story. So much is revealed about who Emily and Luc really are and why they do what they do. And, I absolutely love strong, empowered woman that stand up for what they want and move forward in life with a purpose. Emily was that and so much more. The book actually took me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it and how entertained it kept me. There were humorous times, loving times and heart-breaking times. The story flowed from one scene to another without any breaks or hiccups. Lake Como and Alvernia were brilliantly described and the characters were brought to life. 
 With references to The Bachelor, a reluctant Prince, an adamant woman and a family that demands obedience, The Cinderella Princess had the perfect recipe for a true to life romance.
