I really loved the familial relationships in that book, but on the upside, the romance between Cinderella and Friedrich is superb and deserves to be the focus of this story. Personally, I didn’t like the characters of Cinderella or Friedrich as much as I liked Elise and her bros in The Wild Swans. Also, there’s a cohesive universe being developed between these stories that genuinely intrigues me, yet each story stands well on its own. The Timeless Fairytales series delivers retellings that have an idealistic undertone, but the heroes and heroines have teeth, grit, and enough interesting character tweaks to be interesting. In particular, I love retellings that are sweet/clean romance and deliver the happily-ever-after (HEA) ending. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys clean romances and humor in their fairy tales.I did not intend to go on a retelling kick…but I went on a retelling kick. “Cinderella and the Colonel is a sweet and entertaining novel with a likable heroine.

Unfortunately the rakish Erlauf Colonel Friedrich has other ideas.Ĭinderella thinks she needs a pile of money to save her duchy, and for the Erlauf invaders to leave.
Romance and forgiveness are the last things on Cinderella’s mind. Instead, Cinderella dons servants’ clothes and sells all her luxuries to save her servants and her duchy from the mountain of debt she’s racked up due to Erlauf fines and taxes.
Since Erlauf took over her home country, Cinderella has been forced to manage her once opulent duchy like a tightly budgeted farm. The country of Erlauf is the enemy, as far as Cinderella is concerned. Sparks fly when an enemy colonel tries wooing a destitute duchess…
