Description:
She’s about to get charmed…
Libby Fay’s safe little life as a waitress at a posh New York boutique hotel implodes when Sheikh Rasyn Al Jabar, black-eyed and seductive, crashes into her world and swears that he loves her.
The powerful sheikh will do anything to prevent becoming the ruler of his North African homeland, including marrying a woman who is inappropriate to be queen. When he sees the beautiful, bubbly waitress, he knows that she is the perfect wife to help him avoid the throne—all he has to do is make her fall in love with him.
All her life, Libby has longed for the same loving, equal partnership her parents had—something she couldn’t possibly have with a forceful sheikh who ignores all her objections. But Rasyn seems to be able to charm her into anything, including his bed. Soon, she finds herself on a plane to Abbas, transported into a fairy tale come true.
Unfortunately for Libby, a Cinderella is the last thing this Prince Charming wants.
As you might gather from the title, Cinderella and the Sheikh, is a modern-day fairy tale, but there’s a twist and no magic fairies, just a gorgeous hottie with LOTS of money. Libby has always wanted the “perfect” love that her parents shared, but being five when her dad died, Libby’s memory might not be totally accurate. Rasyn has been blessed with a life of privilege and even though he lost his parents at a young age, he’s always had the love of his uncle the king who has made Rasyn his heir.
Rasyn’s uncle is sick and Rasyn is sure that he is not the best choice to inherit the throne; he instead believes it should be his cousin. So, Rasyn sets out on a mission to find the most unlikely commoner to marry and force his uncle’s hand. Libby is a waitress, who finds joy in serving others, but she manages to find herself swept away by the silver tongued Sheikh Rasyn and the fairy tale begins as she is taken the Rasyn’s home country in North Africa.
This is a good story about honoring every person and following your heart. If you like fairy tales with happily ever afters and transformation and growth by all the characters, then this story is for you. I hope you enjoy Rasyn and Libby’s tale!

Good review! This sounds like a sweet romance with several problems to solve (like the fact the h/h each have different goals in mind – she wants love and he wants a way out of his duty)and I’m very curious about how they get to their HEA.
Gennie, thanks for the review. This is a new to me author and it sounds like a good story line.
