Review: A Midnight Kiss on Ever After Street by Jaimie Admans


Blurb from Goodreads:
A picture-perfect town; a place where dreams come true. Welcome to Ever After Street... Will a kiss at midnight change her life forever? Sadie Winters has spent her whole life doing as she’s told. But when her overbearing aunt forbids her from going to the farewell ball at the beloved local castle, Sadie has had enough! One magical makeover, one midnight curfew, and wearing a dress of her own creation, Sadie is unrecognizable as Ever After Street's shy seamstress. Sadie might dream of meeting a handsome prince but the only person to cross her path is Witt – the slightly awkward estate agent intending to sell the castle and dash Sadie’s dreams forever. As the clock strikes midnight, Sadie and Witt share a magical kiss and Sadie knows her heart is in serious danger. Surely Witt must feel the same way…? Sadie can't hang around to find out. But as reality dawns the next day, and fate brings Witt to Sadie’s door again, Sadie realises that her mystery estate agent prince has absolutely no idea who she is! Sadie can’t forget their midnight kiss, but is she brave enough to change her life and find love along the way…?
 
I'm not sure if I've read a Cinderella retelling before but I wasn't in love with this one.  If you want something sweet, it's definitely that.  And the story wasn't bad for a retelling but something was missing for me.  The cover of the book is probably my favorite thing about it although the world it created -- a sort of fairytale street in an English town -- was quaint and optimistic.  I just never got fully immersed in the romance of the situation.  Hope you have better luck!

A Midnight Kiss on Ever After Street comes out next week on July 4, 2023 and you can purchase HERE.  
'Absolutely no one shall go to the ball!' 
I look down at the gold-edged ticket in my hand and try not to let the wave of disappointment show on my face. I'd known what my aunt's reaction would be, but ever the optimist, I still thought it was worth asking when that fancy embossed card came through our door. It's all I've thought about since we heard that they were going to open up the castle one last time for a masquerade ball.

Review: The Lost Letters from Martha's Vineyard by Michael Callahan

The Lost Letters from Martha's Vineyard by Michael Callahan Blurb from Goodreads : A tantalizing novel of two women bound by blood but divided by a long-buried secret, and the island that holds the key to the fateful summer that changed everything forever. In 1959, Hollywood ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. Far removed from her Nebraska roots, she has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director… Until she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off. Almost sixty years later, Kit O’Neill, a junior television producer in Manhattan, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother’s attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that the grandmother who raised her and her sister Claire was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles.
