An Unsuitable Heiress by Jane Dunn

 

1815  A Cinderella-ish story with beautiful clothes, dogs and horses. A damsel dressed like a boy, rescued by a group of male friends, who are from upper society, as she is running away to try to find her father. Better protection probably couldn't have been found even though a few small things were quite risqué. Cory is quite a girl.  The guys are quite the guys, rogues yet honorable, caring and soft hearted. Not a quick read (thankfully!) as you must continually keep reading to see what happens next, yet you don't want it to end too soon. Excellent read. (Just a few places that could offend.)

Vying for the Viscount by Kristi Ann Hunter

 

Christian Historical - Cinderella with horses

This is one of the most enjoyable books I've read. I didn't want to put it down. Bianca is raised by a stepmother who doesn't want her around. She goes to a neighboring stable to ride and exercise the horses because she loves them so much. Hudson has inherited the estate, arriving from India where he was raised. He doesn't know anyone, but as a member of aristocracy is expected to blend in and advance himself and his estate. Luckily he makes some good friends. Beautiful story unfolds of self discovery and learning what is important in life. Some of the most likable and alive characters you will meet. Loved It! Fabulous series.

Finding Lady Enderly by Joanna Davidson Politano

A rag girl posing as Cinderella, or rather a Countess. What a deep and interesting story. It started out as a quick opportunity for the girl, then she was forced to continue in the ruse. Raina was used to taking rags and restoring them, delighting in the finer things that she encountered along the way. When she was down, she decided to do the same thing for the surroundings she was in. There are twists and turns, danger and a deep love story, with roots in the classics. If you're a deeply romantic story lover, this is for you! Lessons of faith are threaded throughout. Excellent read.

After A Fashion (A Class of Their Own Book #1) by Jen Turano

Another delightful, nonstop, madcap and mayhem story by Jen Turano! Kind of a cross between the Thin Man and Cinderella, only without the murder, it's a Christian Historical Romance set in 1882 New York City.

Harriet, who is actually very talented, is currently working in a hat shop. She also redesigns cast-off clothes from the wealthy for herself, and has quite a flair. And she's beautiful. She's asked to make a delivery of hats to the home of one of the wealthiest men in America, and thus starts the story. There is never a dull moment as turn by turn of events has her agreeing to accompany Oliver to a dinner with the Duke of Westmoore. Of course none of this goes smoothly, and it's hilarious all the way through. There's also the influence of a Reverend Gilmore on both Oliver and Harriet, keeping it grounded in faith.  This is such a satisfying read. If you want to lift someone's spirits, give them this book! It looks like it's the first in a series - I'm really looking forward to the next one.  Isn't that a great cover?
