One kind deed can change your life forever...

Brynn Tomlin could never afford to follow her heart. But when she sees a stranger shivering in the snow outside of the college library, an inexplicable urge leads her to buy him a hot cup of coffee. It's just a small act of kindness, a few words of conversation. Brynn should be focusing on her finals, after all, not on the man who looked up at her gratefully with piercing blue eyes.

He could have been anyone - a janitor on break, a graduate student, a bum. But the man standing outside in the cold turns out to be Dr. Eliot Herceg, one of the most brilliant minds in mathematics and heir to a fortune. After years of reclusive isolation, he now finds his heart awakening to the kind girl whose name he does not know.


Brynn has spent her life trying to forget her desires, and Eliot's deep wounds have taken nearly a decade to heal. After so much hurt, will either of them be able to open their hearts again?

My Thoughts:

Brynn Tomlin is a hard working math student with her sights set on the internship that will ship her to Budapest. Brynn when to a cafe and saw a lonely stranger outside sitting in the cold. Money is tight and she barely had money but with a stroke of luck she found some money and brought herself and the stranger coffee. Up close to the stranger she realizes wasn't homeless as he first appeared but looked decent and just one look in his eyes stirred some deep feelings that are new to her.

Eliot is a Mathematician who is still grieving the loss of his wife and has pretty much closed himself off to those around him. That goes to say he's shocked when a random generous girl hands him a cup of coffee. When he sees her she seems to bring out the old feeling he once used to have.

Brought together again by a test and a trip to budapest both of them slowly start to fall for each other. The problem is, shes a student and he's a professor and it can be complicated. Will they be able to get past their pasts and learn to love one another?

"After so much damage, I cannot fully trust words. Unlike mathematics, words can be twisted too easily to deceive, to cover up to hurt."

Me, Cinderella? is about two broken people with pasts that are hard to forget and get past. Both will learn to heal their wounds and learn to love and trust. I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters. I loved how real they seems and they were very likeable. I loved the connection between the two. I loved that there was two points of views of both Brynn and Eliot. I loved the cover of the book, its interesting and beautiful. The title and the cover was what draws me in for the book. I never had actually read the description when I signed up for the book, it took a leap of faith hoping this book was good and end up finding its a great book. I think my only problem is that there wasn't enough conflict. After was it was over I was hoping for more, thats why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

Overall I loved this beautifully written book and recommend you lovely readers to check it out.

"They say time heals all wounds, but not always. Sometimes woulds pucker over and leave scars, and sometimes they heal silently and secretly, so that only one person knows the hurt was over there."
