Forget Cinderella, this New Yorker doesn’t need a fairy godmother — or a prince.22-year-old Gabriella Davis aspires to be pop music’s next big thing. And she’s going to make it. She’s got to – she’s got her kid sister to save. But first, she needs to get away from her gold-digging stepmother who has her working her butt off as assistant to her band. Super-hot singer Cole Grant is a country boy … Grant is a country boy at heart, so when he leaves his native Tennessee for New York City, he’s about as comfortable as a deer on ice. He’s determined to make the most of this chance of a lifetime, but with the explosive family secret Cole needs to keep, this is one opportunity that might just blow up in his face.
When City meets Country and fame and fortune beckon, can they open their hearts to one another? Or will the secrets they hold keep them from finding their happily ever after?
Manhattan Cinderella is a sweet and sexy contemporary romance retelling of the Cinderella story for fans of Lauren Layne.
This full-length book is a little sexier than my other “chick lit” titles, such as the Cozy Cottage Café series, but with my same light-hearted, feel-good tone.

Gabriella has a lot on her plate balancing a evil stepmother, working on her desire for a singing career and protecting her sister. This is a darling, happily ever after book that takes a lot of turns getting to that HEA ending. Characters that are easy to love or dislike whichever the case may be. I was looking for something light, witty and fun. This book fit perfectly. The shoe was an interesting addition. Definitely the right book for bedtime or just relaxing. Well done!
I really enjoyed Kate O’Keeffe’s latest book. She is one of my favorite authors to read. This book was fun and had just the right amount of romance. A perfect read!
The Cinderella elements are all here against the backdrop of a few pop stars and talented singers looking for a break,
Gabby and Cole have instant attraction even though they know she’s in New York and he’s in Tennessee. So they agree to just have fun with no strings attached.
Cole is such a gentleman. He’s sweet and caring and just suffered a huge blow family-wise. Because of the circumstances surrounding that, misunderstandings ensue and the romance meets rocky times.
Gabby is a people person being taken advantage of by her stepmother and step sisters. She plays their game to protect her younger sister showing her willingness to put her family first.
This was a good book although from personal taste it wasn’t the kind of music themed romance book I normally read.
Like the characters and story. Entertaining and fun read. Love a good romance! Like the conversations and interaction of characters. Would recommend!
