This should never be allowed to happen to a MMA fighter….
Can you imagine this guy giving fashion advice? On women’s clothing?
Wouldn’t you just love to see how he'd accessorise you.
Well how about this bloke spouting dating tips?
No?
Well that's what we're expected to believe about the hero in Seducing Cinderella.
We all know the story of Cinderella, right? Where poor, plain Cinderella undergoes a transformation courtesy of her Fairy Godmother and snaps up Prince Charming.
In Seducing Cinderella w...more

This book was so fun to read!!! It pretty much pulls you in hook line and sinker from the very begging. It's steamy, steamy good! Reid is a MAJOR hottie and super smooth. Some of the things that come out of his mouth leave you feeling week in the knees! This book was really sweet and had so many amazing moments in it...I loved it! Can't wait to read more by Gina Maxwell :)

This was a yummy 3 star read for me.
"Heart. Any fighter can win against any odds if he has more heart than his opponent."
It was short, predictable and more-than-a-little cheesy, but still, it was cute and had a fuzzy HEA.
Reid is a highly successful, smokin' hot MMA fighter. He works hard at his job, is dedicated and right now does not have the time to be injured. Which is what leads him to Lucie. Lucie works as a physical therapist. She's a cute, clumsy bookworm who is utterly infatuated wit...more

My Goodreads’ Rating: Hmmmm....I have been struggling with how to rate to this book. For the majority of Seducing Cinderella, it was most definitely closer to a 3 star read for me. However, with this being said, I really enjoyed how the author brought in some drama and ended the book. So....4 stars it is!

Little does she know that this is Reid Andrews, her brother’s childhood best friend and current MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) champion. At his prodding, Lucie con...more

A very promising debut novel by Gina L. Maxwell.
I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down! It's fun and relatively angst-free read. The storyline is quite predictable but it's beautifully executed.
Lucie is sweet and funny. She's beautiful but can't see it in herself. She is a mixture of professional competence and personal insecurities. She's pining for the wrong guy.

Oh wow! What a great book! Such an intense, sexy read! I must say I love Reid, even if he was a jerk almost at the end of the story. I feel he acted like that because he was scared and didn't feel he was enough for Lucie. But Reid you are more than enough! Who doesn't want a sexy, gorgeous, funny, disciplined, successful, considerate, witty man? I for sure wouldn't mind!
I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a hot, funny, sexy and sweet story. And just as an incentive to re...more

Very cute, super steamy, corny but lovable, easy read. That just about sums it up I think.
Reid and Lucie are very likable, inoffensive characters and the plot is simple, light on angst and tension, a little predictable but sweet.
The sex scenes were hot!! Seriously hot! Reid is a professional fighter, sexy, hench, yet he has a softer side, is a closet sculptor and a master at seduction... obviously. He would be wouldn't he?!

I FINALLY got around to reading this over the weekend. Here's my quick review:
What Worked for Me
The story setup is great. Even though it's totally predictable, you know it's going to be fun. I really liked Reid! It was male POV and dialogue that really felt like male POV and dialogue. This is one of my biggest issues reading romance: if the hero is an alpha male, he has to swear. He needs to sometimes say and do crass things. It doesn't necessarily make him an asshole...it makes him real. {end...more

I love the relationship dynamics and dialogue between Reid and Lucie. The author has created two very likable characters, and the story is fun and moves along at a good pace.

This was enjoyable enough but nothing really new here.
Reid is a great bad-boy turned good and the love scenes were very good.
But I wasn't a huge fan of the style of heroine. You know the type..."beautiful? Who? Me? no! surely you mean my best friend cause I'm just plain Jane" OK. Yeah love, whatever! That's why all the hot dudes are drooling over you.
She does get a bit of a backbone by the end though so that was good.
