While this is the second book in this series, this is the first one that I have read. I was able to enjoy this book without reading the prior one. I also enjoyed that the author laid down a great foundation for the third book of the series here.
Daniel Stone is heir to the Stone fortune and legacy of the London based Stone department store. He is in New York to open a branch in the U.S. His mother is out to destroy the ever popular Eden’s department store. Emma Eden is the newly discovered half sister to Sophie and Mindy. She was not brought up with wealth. She was hidden away from the world until the grandmother’s death and reading of the will. Emma is fielding her way in the world of the privileged. On her way to work, she runs into a devilish handsome man in the elevator in her apartment building. Even though she his nervous, she tries to chat him up. Unfortunately his answers are minimal but in a oh so sexy Brit accent. It isn’t until later that night at a showing that Emma spots the handsome Brit.
The road to Emma and Daniel’s HEA is one filled with laughs, heartache and family troubles. The story just flowed beautifully. I didn’t feel that there were any low spots. The characters were easy to relate to and some of the scenes were hilariously funny (especially the zipper scene!)
I adored the dual POV format here. Seeing into the inner thoughts and feelings of these two people was a treat. You could really see the warm, generous and tender heart of Emma. Daniel has a plate filled with family strife. He is conflicted over issues with events from the past and the way his parents have dealt with it.
There were some sexy scenes nothing to really offend anyone but I can only in good conscious recommend this to someone over the age of 18.
A Cinderella Seduction is the second in The Eden Empire series but can also be a stand alone story. This is a story of trying to find your place within the family unit and finding peace with yourself. Emma Stewart is not only trying to fit in with her two half sisters but also prove herself capable of succeeding in the family business. Daniel Stone is trying to overcome his deceased brother’s shadow in the family business and prove himself worthy of taking over. Emma and Daniel’s families have been in a business feud for years but with their growing affection, they are trying to find a way to be together. The story that follows is filled with drama, laughs, love and happily ever after. Karen Booth is a new to me author but I will definitely be reading more of her stories, as she is a fantastic storyteller.
I enjoyed reading this story! Starts out with Daniel and you learn what is going on in his life then you learn what is happening in Emma’s life. I love reading what happens with Daniel and Emma lives and how the deal with everything that is happening to them. I recommend this book!!!!!
This is book two of the Eden Empire Series and it’s Emma and Daniels story. Emma was introduced in book one when Sophie and Mindy learned that their cousin was actually their half-sister. There was a lot of drama at the reading of grandma’s will. Now Emma is dealing with a whole world she wasn’t raised in. She didn’t have the money or clothing that the other two Eden girls were raised on. She was the family secret and now she’s in the spotlight which is not where she wants to be. Emma is a shy girl and doesn’t like to be the center of attention.
Emma meets Daniel and they start falling for each other. The problem is that they are from feuding families. Daniels family is in competition with Eden’s department store. Will love to save the day or will their families keep them apart?
I really liked this book. You start to see the three sister’s relationship start to develop. At the beginning of the book Sophie and Mindy make Emma feel excluded. Mindy was the worst of the two and I was really starting to hate her. Thankfully she turns around and surprises me so I’m looking forward to starting her book.
I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
This story has a little of everything, sweet romance, sexy overbearing and frustrating alpha make and a beautiful woman who has the right heart and spirit. Thoroughly enjoying and entertaining.

A Cinderella Seduction is the second book in Karen Booth’s Eden Empire series. This is a standalone read with characters you will immediately fall in love with.
A Cinderella Seduction finds Emma Stewart dealing with the aftermath of discovering she is an Eden. And the product of an affair her mother had with her sister’s husband. Emma now has two half-sisters she’s always thought were her cousins. But the biggest shock is that with the passing of her paternal grandmother Victoria Eden, Emma now owns one-third of Eden’s, the largest department store in Manhattan. She’s also now a billionaire. For the past three months, Emma has been working as the CFO of Eden’s alongside her half-sisters Sophie and Mindy.
In a PR move, Sophie has come up with a cover to explain why no one has ever heard of Emma before. After all, it wouldn’t look good to have an Eden grow up living paycheck to paycheck. Sophie and Mindy expect Emma to keep up with the act, but it’s clear they are still not truly welcoming her into the fold. Emma’s first introduction into the public eye will take place at the Empire State fashion show. The sisters are supposed to attend together, but at the last minute Sophie and Mindy bail. Not knowing anyone in attendance, Emma feels lonely and out of place until she sees the man from her building’s elevator.
Emma and Daniel strike up a playful interaction, where it’s clear the two are attracted to each other. After a wardrobe mishap, Daniel comes to Emma’s rescue. He even makes sure she gets into her waiting car okay. As the two say goodbye, their playful yet innocent kiss is captured by the paparazzi. The next day, to everyone’s shock, surprise, and horror the image is printed in the newspaper, with the title of Retail Royalty Romance! That’s right. Emma and Daniel had no idea who the other really was. Daniel is in fact Daniel Stone of Stone’s of London, a successful department store chain based in the UK. Daniel is in town to scout out a location for their first US store. It is the hope of Daniel’s mother, Margaret, that Stone’s New York will put Eden’s out of business for good. It seems that Victoria Eden and Margaret Stone have had a feud going on for years after it was discovered that Margaret was sent over to get insider information on how Eden’s was ran over twenty years ago.
A Cinderella Seduction brings back familiar faces for fans of Karen Booth. I personally love when she adds in characters from her previous books. The title fits this book perfectly. Emma really is a rags-to-riches woman. She and Daniel have more in common than just their family businesses. This is a story about love, family, and becoming the person you are meant to be.

A Cinderella Seduction
The author put a marvelous flare on a Cinderella story spiced up with seduction and conflict between family loyalty and love. A Cinderella Seduction held my attention from the beginning to the end. I liked how the author showed Emma’s and Daniel’s interaction with their family members and how their pass demons are now dictating how they are dealing with their family businesses.
A Cinderella Seduction is the second installment to the Eden Empire series, but I was able to read it as a standalone novel. This is the first book that I have read in this series, but it won’t be my last because It’s Just That Good!
I haven’t read a Harlequin in quite a while, but the plot for A Cinderella Seduction pulled me in and it was definitely worth the read.
Its a Cinderella-ish story with two half sisters and a rags to riches heroine, who is now a department store heiress. Its the 2nd book in the Eden Empire mini series.
Emma was an interesting heroine. She’s smart but still has traces of vulnerability and naivete. That’s really what I loved about her, and unlike Cinderella, she doesn’t completely bow to the wishes of her sisters though she has a strong desire to be part of a family
At a huge fashion event she’s left to her own devices. That’s where she meets Daniel Stone, son of her family’s revival department store/enemy. There’s a strange family feud going on and no one is quite sure if the relationship growing between the two is real or if Daniel has something sinister in mind.
The chemistry between the two is instant and when they come together everything is electric and hot, very very hot!
To make things more interesting when her sister Mindy’s boyfriend starts making trouble for them. I really hated Sam, and I’m not sure how he’s going to figure in to the next book because he was an absolute jerk.
The real fairy tale nature of the story is how perfect the relationship between the two becomes even though both families are mostly against it. (More on one side than the other)
What Daniel does to keep Emma really warmed my heart. This was fabulous story!
Emma and Daniel are the ones thrust in this modern day fairy tale. But they definitely have obstacles besides family to overcome. Good characters with an exciting and intriguing story.

I just loved how this gave a nod to the Cinderella story but also is its own story, Emma is trying to fit in with her new way of life however isn’t use to all the flashiness of it and is wary of her 2 sisters Mindy and Sophie. It was good we got bit of a glimpse at the sisters to see what they were like but it still felt hard to decide if they really wanted Emma around or not and then there is Daniel and his motives. Daniel is trying his best to prove he is as good a son as his brother but his mother is far to busy with her old grudge to care how he feels. There is some good laughs, some cringe worthy moments along with some heartbreak and hope that has you hooked until the end and In just love the scene in the plane at the end it cracked me up!

I’m thrilled to leave a review in exchange for an advanced copy of this book! Daniel & Emma were absolutely a joy to read!! I love the series
BUT THIS ONE SET THE BAR for sure. The rival department story line was a great choice for the series & these two come from completely different backgrounds so the sweetness of Emma was just so well written that one could almost FEEL her emotions ! This also goes down as one of Karen’s more steamy reads which is fine by me! Bravo ! Excellent beach read that you’re sure to devour in 2-3 sittings!

Emma may be the princess, but will Daniel be the prince?
I love Harlequin Desires stories and especially authors who write in dual point of view! Karen is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! Emma inherits an equal share of Eden’s with her 2 stepsisters when their grandma passes. Emma meets Daniel in the elevator of their building one morning and tries to start a conversation with him, but gives up after his monosyllabic answers. When Emma sees Daniel at the Empire State Fashion show, she heads his way after they make eye contact. The two hit it off until Emma has a wardrobe malfunction to which Daniel comes to the rescue. When the press releases the photo of the two of them, they discover their companies are sworn enemies. Can they continue to enjoy their time together or will their companies and families step between them? You have to read to find out and will enjoy the steam and plot twists.
