Betting on Cinderella (The Cinderella Romances Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 267 ratings

Once upon a time in Biloxi, Mississippi . . .

Garrett Tucker inherits his grandfather's casino empire and steps into the reclusive tycoon's shoes as the new "Prince of Vegas." Discovering embezzlement in his newly purchased casino in Biloxi, Garrett 
goes in undercover. His prime suspect? The new finance supervisor . . . a feisty brunette who stole his heart at first sight.

Andi Ryan moves to Biloxi to take care for her godmother. Taking a job as finance supervisor for the renovated Bayou Princess casino, she discovers someone is skimming from the till. Andi starts her own investigation, worried she will be blamed for the theft when the handsome new owner discovers her godmother likes to gamble.

Industrial espionage is afoot at the Bayou Princess, and Garrett and Andi are soon forced to work as a team to prove her innocence and save the casino before it's too late.

This swoonworthy modern-day fairy tale joins the other Cinderella stories in the series. Each provides a new opportunity to retell the classic fairy tale, happily with returning characters to share in these adventures.

    The characters are so realistic you are cheering and booing throughout the entire book. The plot has you thinking now what, oh no and really while you want more. I recommend it to anyone who wants to escape their problems and visit a fairytale.

    Garrett receives word his grandfather has died suddenly, a stroke and has already been cremated per his instructions. Sam left everything to Garrett if he can make the Bayou Princess profitable in two years. And is at Rhett and Lily's weddings and sees Andi. He wants to meet her but he got word his grandfather died. Garrett goes to casino undercover to find out what is going on there. Good story and characters.

    A bit long winded in places, but a good read overall.
    Garrett inherits grandfather’s casino in Biloxi but must make something of it within a year as it is failing or lose it.
    Andi, an accountant, and great fried of Lily’s from first book in series, has a godmother who lives in biloxi. Godmother sends in Andi’s résumé to corporate and get the job at casino.
    Through the old Cinderella storyline, Andi is subjected to cruelty from evil stepmother and one stepsister that also works at Bayou Princess casino. Add the beast, Costa, and you add another storyline.
    But here, the storylines worked.
    The reader wonders about the mystery surrounding the story and is surprised.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019
    This book was good enough that after several months I went back and read it again. A good effort to put a different spin on an old story. I enjoyed Garrett’s struggles to keep his two lives separated while trying to move into a true relationship. Keeping track of who was with the bad guys and who was with the good guys and who was somewhere in between keeps you busy. I’ve enjoyed all the books that can be read as stand alones.

    This is a very entertaining romance. It has a good balance of romance and intrigue. The main characters are believable and the story building is well done.

    I suspect this is going to be a trilogy and I'm ready for Aidan's story!

    I loved Garrett's story! It wasn't just a romance, but a mystery too, with some nifty twists and turns. The only thing I didn't like was I didn't learn what happened to "the skankers." Hopefully Petie will rectify this in a third book!
