While this is book 4 in a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Cinderella's Cowboy is by far the least enjoyable book in the series. While I typically do not enjoy novellas, I did enjoy the first three books. Then we got to this one. The attempt to make it a Cinderella-ish retelling made it far too cheesy for my liking. There were also some continuity issues where it was tied to The Cowboy Next Door.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

The premise was good, the execution, unfortunately less so.

We only got bare-bones glimpses of the backstory that was at the "heart" of the heroine's stutter whenever the hero was around and his strange fascination with her, never really delving into their "issues" that were also at the heart of their day-to-day interactions with pretty much everybody.
The characters themselves were one-dimensional at best, with everybody and their cat (literally) chomping off "air-time" of the two leads...At least the step-sisters could've been evil and given a little *oomph* to the proceedings.

Instead, we got a sweet, feel-good, bouncy little story with no real bite, and no real *story*.
