And I'll have to read Girl on a Plane, it sounds interesting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772971731747379071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-20991036851087373332017-05-01T20:14:50.926+10:002017-05-01T20:14:50.926+10:00It's an old Harlequin Intrigue.

The heroine, Danielle, is inspiring, capable and caring.

Hope for a better life after adversity, hope for the justice of karma (ooh, that nasty step-mother!), hope for finding that one true love. Ever After remains one of my favourite Cinderella movies, although I also love Ella Enchanted. My favourite Cinderella book is probably The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. Lots of fun, but poignant too.Marilyn Forsythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264683453138649702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-83937471942685984272017-05-01T17:24:28.939+10:002017-05-01T17:24:28.939+10:00I love Ever After, too, Cassandra.

My fave movie based on Cinderella is Pretty Woman. This girl who won't let the bad situation she's in bring her down meets this guy who discovers she's more than someone to look down on. He wants to save her from the situation but she ends up saving him so he gets back the wonderful man he used to be. In book form, my fave is The Bride Protector by Gayle Wilson. I love that book for so many reasons and one is the saving, again, of each other.Enisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618040099949009436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-73182893721561523502017-05-01T11:57:03.552+10:002017-05-01T11:57:03.552+10:00I have to agree with Cassandra. The film 'Ever...I have to agree with Cassandra. The film 'Ever After' smashed the Cinderella stereotype forever for me. Instead of the prince 'rescuing her' she rescues herself (and women cheer the world over). But I do love an excellent rags to riches romance; it's a romance trope I really love. One I can highly recommend is 'Christmas in the Boss's Castle- by Scarlet Wilson, which I read in that delicious 'down' week between Christmas and New Year last year. It's a boss and a chambermaid story, so hello 'Cinderella'! But it's much deeper than that with tremendous depth and heart - such a lovely story with a wonderful festive feel (but you could read it any time of the year and rejoice in the tenderness). Thanks Sharyn for your post, I'm enjoying your take on tales as old as time...Malvinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643063300200396369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-76666638845752102212017-05-01T09:29:47.957+10:002017-05-01T09:29:47.957+10:00Ever After is my fave re-make of the cinderella st...Ever After is my fave re-make of the cinderella story with Drew Barrymore. It sticks pretty closely to the original story but the reason she puts up with the situation is for the other servants/staff that work at the house. She is strong, capable, loving, and compassionate. It is these traits that the prince falls in love with. So, yes, I do love a good Cinderella story as long as it is done right.Cassandra Samuelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818025453828445251noreply@blogger.com
