This was an absolutely adorable book. It doesn’t start out in the traditional way, where girl meets boy and they slowly build up to a relationship. No, they have a ridiculously hot one night stand and she winds up pregnant. What I love about Erin is that she’s no-nonsense and has a backbone. Ian is pretty much a stereotypical rich guy who doesn’t do relationships, but he’s not really a jerk. I did enjoy the relationship they build together—becoming friends before hopping back into bed together. A few of the conflicts did seem contrived, but for the most part the book was believable and adorable. I read it all in one sitting.

This story was a fun, unexpected read that had me laughing, awing and finished with a satisfied smile.

4,5 stars

I haven’t really read many books where the heroine is above 40. Having a more mature female lead was a nice change!

Erin is a 40-years-old elementary school principal. She’s kind of an unconventional one since she swears a lot and is not really social. She meets Ian when he wins an auction for a date with her. He’s “Clark Kent” kind of hot; both smart and nerdy hot! After their night together, what they didn’t anticipate was an accidental pregnancy.

It was really interesting to see the relationship between these two. Ian is a workaholic, he lives for his job and doesn’t really care about anything else. Erin really wants this co-parenting thing to work but his letting her down constantly. I was so frustrated with Ian for treating her that way.

This book is the perfect read for a casual afternoon. It has some dram and funny moments too!! The ending was lovely and wrapped up the story just right!!!

One of my new favorite books! This author has such a way with words the pages flew by in no time! I can’t wait to see the next work by this author! This was such a joy to read!

This one was very cute! I’ll admit, I requested it because the title and cover were pretty great, I had to give it a shot. I adored that the main characters were over 40, it felt a lot more realistic to me having them be older! Erin and Ian has fantastic chemistry, it was so easy to root for them to have a HEA. I found myself laughing many times, definitely deserves being considered a rom-com. I loved the ending, just really a fantastic enjoyable book. I’ll definitely read more books from Hammerle!

Super cute spring read! Nothing too heavy here. Just a cute love story between Ian and Erin. Love the friend relationships, the side characters are just as fun to read about. Is this a series?? Hmm.

This was so fun and sweet. Exactly what I would expect from a fun chick-lit romance. I loved the main character Erin.

3,5 STARS

I had high expectations for this one, and I still like it but it wasn't exactly what I was expected!It was lighthearted,funny and sweet.Ian has so many issues and I felt the book was going on and on about his issues which frustrate me a lot! I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped!

A light and funny read which was exactly as expected (in a great way of course). I knew from the title and description of this book that it would be right up my street and Julie Hammerle delivered!! Thoroughly recommend this cute read!

This was about a Principal of a private school. Erin is 40 years old and has just broken up with her boyfriend. She is entered in the Bachelorette Auction dressed as Cinderella to help raise money for the school’s Athletic Academy.
Ian Donovan, a confirmed Bachelor bids for Erin. I loved the characters and the humor in this romantic novel. This was about relationships and families.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was super cute, really light and funny. This was my first read from this author and I was delighted by how smart and sharp the writing was. A bit more emotion or conflict might've elevated it a bit for my personal taste, but it truly is a light, sweet, fun read and it delivers exactly what you'd hoped to find if that's what you're looking for. This is a quirky story of a one night stand resulting in an unexpected pregnancy and the story that evolves is both adorable and fast paced. I liked it a lot and look forward to reading more from Julie Hammerle

This was a super cute book. I really liked the fact that both main characters were 40 years old. It was refreshing to read about people close to my own age. This book reminded me of The Kiss Quotient, the humor, the almost innocence feeling of it. I'm not usually one for rom-com, but this is a must read for anyone who wants to read a fast paced light hearted easy read.

Knocked-Up Cinderella, by Julie Hammerle, was such a fun book. I absolutely loved it. Erin is a 40-year-old principal who’s just out of a long-term relationship. She’s tired of falling for the same type of guy and decides to have a one-night stand with Ian Donavon. Ian is a venture capitalist, a strictly “no strings” guy who’s married to his job. It’s all well and good until Erin figures out that she’s pregnant and they have to break their ‘one and done’ rule to figure out what to do. Ian couldn’t possibly want a baby, and he certainly couldn’t want a future with Erin, could he?

Erin is such a kick ass heroine. I loved her! Who wouldn’t love a principal that drops f-bombs? Not at school of course! She’s bright and witty and caring and confident and so many wonderful things. Ian was equally great. He has heart, despite the choices he makes in his personal life, and I can’t remember the last time I read a character like him. From the get go his feelings for Erin are clear to the reader but he takes time working through them. The back-and-forth he shows makes sense. The heat between Ian and Erin is sizzling. I loved their chemistry. I loved watching the 2 of them fall for each other. The plot is thoughtful and well-paced, giving the reader a deliciously slow build toward love. They both have some baggage that was sparingly doled out into the plot to lend authenticity to the connection between them and their situations. I wish I had the right words to tell you how good this book was. It was the perfect quick read for anyone who wants a cute romance with some heat.

This book is about a 40 year old woman who is recently divorced after
a bad relationship, Erin ends up having a one night stand with Ian,
the town's playboy who is married to his Job, This one night stand
leads to Erin deciding that she is goîng to stay single for a while and
get her life back on track. This is all working out fine and dandy until
she learns that she is pregnant, With Ian's baby,
This book was so fun to read. It takes place from conception to
birth, That's a lot of time to cover and build a relationship between
characters. I think that Julie Hammle handled this very well.
There were things that happened that were missing or that were
referenced that we didn't get to see unfold but it wasn't anything
that took away from the story, if that makes sense.
I expected to go into this book with it being a 3 star read. But it
wasn't! There were poînts în the story where the maîn characters
annoyed me, but that's to be expected. I feel like this was well
written rom-com and is perfect for this time of year, The beginning
takes place around Christmas and despite goîng into the summer
months, I still am really glad I read it at this time.
If you're lookïng for a super quick read or a nice romantic comedy,
I say go for this one, It is out now, my review is going up later than
originally anticipated but that's okay! I gave it 4 stars and I am
excited to read more from this author

A big thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I liked this book. Had humor, romance, fast friends. A one night stand leads to pregnancy! But Erin isn't a 20 something...She's older, She and Ian are lovers, then become friends to parents. Some may not !Joe it, but I did. I rate it a 4. Ian has issues, but I truly enjoyed Erin.

This was a cute read. Older heroine is knocked up by a work-a-holic commitment phobe. Will they be able to come together for the baby? Or go their separate ways?

This is very light on steam so if you like that you will probably enjoy this. I did not really feel the connection with these two. They seemed more like good friends.

Seasoned Romance

I though Julie Hammerle's Knocked-Up Cinderella had a lot of potential, I loved the idea of a 40 year old heroine and liked the humor. Unfortunately it just didn't come together for me. Erin and Ian were a friends to lovers relationship that just took too long to get there.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

I loved Erin from the very first page. But Ian, the 40 yr old workaholic manwhore took a little effort to fall in love with. But the author did a great job of developing both characters and crafted a cute, quirky romance that is definitely worth reading.

With the title you can only draw speculations. But this one had low angst but enough to keep you drawn in. Enter a Manwhore and a woman with her own mind.

It’s a good combination for a premise. The execution was good. Not great, I’ve read worse. Far far worse.

What makes a good book are fleshed out characters. This one did pretty good. If you want a longer explaination.

Read the book. It’s not disappointing.

4 out 5

I received this ARC for a honest review. That you to the publisher, Netgalley and the author!

Knocked-Up Cinderella by Julie Hammerle is nothing like I expected with this title.
I will not spoiler here, but there's no virgin who finds her soulmate alpha man in the blink of an eye. No mam, it's better, much much better.
Take Erin Sharpe, a 40 years old elementary teacher and principal, put her up for a charity auction after you put her in an hilarious costume; deep breath; and Ian Donovan, a businessman who loves his single status and that business is his life, mix them together, lean back and wait what happens. And there's about a lot that will happen.
Knocked-Up Cinderella is a well written, beautifully thought out and told romance. I loved the story and the characters and I'm a huge sucker for this kind of oops stories with a beautiful HEA. Knocked-Up Cinderella is a witty and fun read, kept me well entertained and I give beautiful 4,5 stars.
