Welcome to out stop on The Cracked Slipper book blog tour!
According to Eleanor’s eavesdropping parrot, no one at court appreciates her unladylike tendency to voice her opinion. To make matter worse, her royal fiancé spends his last night of bachelorhood on a drunken whoring spree. Before the ink dries on her marriage proclamation Eleanor realizes that she loves her husband's best friend, former soldier Dorian Finley. Eleanor can’t resist Dorian’s honesty, or his unusual admiration for her intelligence, and soon both are caught in a dangerous obsession. She drowns her confusion in charitable endeavors, but the people’s love can’t protect her from her feelings.
When a magical crime endangers the bond between unicorns, dragons, and the royal family, a falsely accused Eleanor must clear her own name to save her life. The road toward vindication will force a choice between hard-won security and an impossible love.
Review: The Cracked Slipper takes the fairytale of Cinderella and turns it on its ear. What happened when Cinderella got her prince? Was he Prince Charming, of a Prince Dud? After you realize everything in the tale will be set on it's ear (an eavesdropping, communicating parrot?) with what seems like a renaissance setting combined with enchanted fairytale animals. Add in a solid romance book hero pinning for the taken Eleanor, and you have a love triangle that will hold your attention for the entire book! This is the perfect grown up fairy tale for adults to sit by the fire with on gorgeous Fall days!
