Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 I'll read any Beauty and The Beast themed book; y'all know that. And this one had promise- Bella is the daughter of a archeologist-adventurer, and Miles is a duke that's turned his back on the world because ~reasons~ and spends all his time and energy with his house full of precious Egyptian artifacts. With the help of a fairy godmother of sorts and some magic shoes, will Bella melt his heart? 
 I have not read any of the other books in Drake's Cinderella Sisterhood series, but the Fairy Godmother and magic shoes are the tie-in device, and it's cute. 
 It's interesting how Drake tried to deal with the colonialist looting of artifacts: she mentions bills of sale from the Egyptian government a coupe of times, implying that Miles and his father rightfully paid for the items, and didn't just wander off with them because that's what British explorers did. I get it- who wants their hero to be a looter? And I appreciate it, but it's still like, not quite accurate. It's an interesting tension between being true to the historical flavor of the characters, and viewing them through the lenses we have now. I'm not sure what the right balance is, and I'm not sure this is it. 
 I was kind of disappointed by this book. It was okay, and I always appreciate a heroine that is outside the box, but... it was mostly just kinda there. This was a book I read. I didn't regret the time I spent reading it, but it's not something I'll be thinking about now that I'm done with it.
