BOOK REVIEW- Cinderella's Cowboy

CinderellasCowboy-300dpi
BOOK- CINDERELLA'S COWBOY-  Chad Anders doesn’t know why mousy Cynthia Henley trips all over her tongue when she’s around him. Nor does he understand his undeniable attraction to this good girl. Wild and sexy is his type, like the dream-girl he caught a glimpse of years earlier he’s never forgotten.
Cynthia’s superpower is invisibility, especially with men. It’s better for everyone that way. Besides, she’s got a cat. She’s okay. But when playboy-rancher Chad hires her, she’s got a chance to shine. Professionally, at least. Until she learns of his fascination with a mysterious dream-girl, who was actually nothing more than a shy teenager on an ill-advised dare all those years ago. Cynthia knows she’s no man’s dream-girl and never will be.
But there’s magic at the ball. Princesses glow in the starlight, princes appear out of nowhere, and, sometimes, they look a lot like cowboys…

It was nice to read another story about the Anders brothers.   I didn't realize I had read the the other one until I recognized Chad's brother Eric and his girlfriend Leda (and their general story line).  That was the book, The Cowboy Next Door (This Old House #3)
I liked this  story as well.  Cynthia and Chad both had something to prove.  Her in a business way, she wanted to pay off her loan and make a success of the business.  She has what it takes but her two stepsisters were more trouble than they were worth.  Even though she loved them she ended up doing the majority of the work.  But they were also a condition of her loan too.  Her stepmother felt it would help draw them together even more and help her daughters learn to work, not just party.  The nice thing is that the stepmother Joanie wasn't the evil stereotype but she did tend to have her head in the clouds somewhat when it came to reality.  
What was Chad trying to prove?  That he wasn't the almost invisible brother to Eric, for one thing.  That he wasn't only a playboy type when it came to women.  That he wasn't going to keep the guilt money from his grandfather; he was going to help others re-build with it.  I thought the author did a really good job of drawing you into the feelings of both of the M.C.'s.  You could easily understand their feelings, and their insecurities.  
This was a sweet, charming story with several different good overcoming of obstacles themes. I liked that there was also more to the story when it came to Cynthia's tripping over her tongue when she was around Chad.

I received a  ARC  in exchange for an honest review.
