Lightning review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 The Prince Who Loved Me by Karen Hawkins is a Cinderella story with a twist. I enjoyed the fairytale aspect of the novel, but it definitely had some problems. 
 So what were the problems with this book? Alexsey's mother was Romany, and this book sometimes trips itself up with "exotic gypsy" stereotypes. For example, Alexsey's Romany grandmother curses people and threatens to turn them into goats. Noooooooope. So much nope. 
 Also Alexsey sometimes comes across as an oversexed douche bag. 
 I did like that Bronwyn's stepsisters and stepmothers weren't villains. Her stepmother is sometimes insensitive, but it's never intentional. 
 As a Cinderella story, The Prince Who Loved Me was okay, but the Romany stereotypes and (sometimes) Alexsey's behavior pissed me off.
