About this listen

In this modern Cinderella story, New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker weaves a tale of stepfamilies, stalkers, and a suspenseful, sweeping romance that proves true love can conquer all.

Former military man and member of a royal family Callum Redmon can’t deny his sense of responsibility. So when his cousin’s latest love interest claims to have a stalker, Cal reluctantly meets with the young woman and her mother. He wants to write off the situation as a complete farce—if only his feelings for another member of the household could be as easily dismissed.

Since her father’s death seventeen years ago, Juniper Rose has been at the cruel beck and call of her stepmother and stepsister. Her fantasies of escape mean leaving behind her father’s beloved home, but enough is enough: when Cal offers her a way out sooner rather than later, June takes the leap.

Cal’s home in Maine with his military brothers seems like the safest place to start fresh. But as Cal and June’s fairy-tale romance blossoms into something real, they find that the dangers stalking them may have been real all along.

Cinderella but not

like mist reviews say, this was indeed a Cinderella inspired plot. someone said beauty and the beast as well, but I think not. Susan gave me a character that is everything an alpha dreamboat epitomises, then she brings him into the real world and adds a heroine that grounds him.
the romance and suspense move along at a good pace, and through all doubts and fears, HEA prevails.
it was wonderful as always to catch up on characters from previous books, and then I got a surprised insight into a future character. when the angst ramped up and peaked, I thought. how easy it was for the antagonist to get to that point, but I found that's what made it flow so easily.
Unlike other books of Susan where you get military action, espionage, other countries, and nefarious plots, this book just kept me listening, even though I kinda knew where the storyline was going. the journey was awesome, and so Susan.
narrators I have listened to before. CJ Bloom is wonderful. However, I feel she didn't do justice to a couple of female voices, I would have preferred a bitmire grit
but that's just me. thanks for another great book, Susan.

Meh!

I'm a huge Susan Stoker fan but this book was not my cup of tea at all. Guess we're all allowed a miss now and then. 😞
