Fooling Around with Cinderella

Storybook Valley, Book 1

By: Stacy Juba

Narrated by: Karen Commins

What happens when the glass slippers pinch Cinderella's toes? When Jaine Andersen proposes a new marketing role to the local amusement park, general manager Dylan Callahan charms her into filling Cinderella's glass slippers for the summer. Her reign transforms Jaine's ordinary life into chaos that would bewilder a fairy godmother. Secretly dating her bad boy boss, running wedding errands for her ungrateful sisters, and defending herself from the park's resident villain means Jaine needs lots more than a comfy pair of shoes to restore order in her kingdom. First in the Storybook Valley series, a blend of sweet romance, chick lit, and fairy tale fun.

Perfect Summer Escape!

Any additional comments?

Fooling Around with Cinderella is the perfect beach read that includes several laugh out loud moments. It is a great first book in the new Storybook Valley series by Stacy Juba. Having worked at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio over the summers during my college years, I could easily relate to the setting of an amusement park and the pecking order of "the talent."

The story centers around recent college graduate Jaine Andersen who proposes a new marketing position to the local theme park, Storybook Valley, in part, because the park no longer attracts the crowds it once did when Jaine was a little girl. The general manager of the park, Dylan Callahan, sweet talks Jaine into playing the part of Cinderella for meet and greets with the youngsters, along with hiring her part time as the marketing department. Needless to say, Jaine falls for her boss and shenanigans ensue when an old girlfriend (who also works at the park) starts to sabotage all of Jaine's good efforts.

I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Karen Commins who did a wonderful job. I was totally engrossed and imagined that I was listening to Jaine's thoughts and snarky comments, rather than listening to a reader's narration of a book. In short, Fooling Around with Cinderella is the perfect summer escape!

Fairly Tale Ending

I was gifted this audio ARC from the author for a honest and unbiased review
I LOVED this book. It was so sweet and actually touching.
Stacy Juba is one of my new favorites as is Karen Commins. Both did a really great job.
I found this book to be entertaining with an unusual storyline.The story is set in an amusement park where the main character ends up dressing up as Cinderella to help out the new boss and provide extra hours before they can hire her full time. I imagine that one does not think of Cinderella and playing one in a theme park as a means to ideal marketing job.
