I really enjoyed the story of Roman and Eli. When the story began my heart sank at the swap suggested by her twin. Roman is so sweet that, of course, she reluctantly agreed to help out but I felt myself in her shoes at being thrust into a totally different lifestyle. I found this book difficult to put down and so spent an enjoyable afternoon deep in this romance. Read it, you will probably feel the same!

Twin sisters Willow and Rowan, may look alike but they couldnt be more different. Willow is living a glamourous life as a model and Rowan walked away from that life and now lives a simple life in a coastal village making clothes for locals. When Willow turns up at her twins front door, in need of a favour. Rowan cant turn her sister down, Willow has recently split up from her ex and has found out she is pregnant. In need of a quiet place to decide what to do, Willow asks Rowan to go to New York and pretend to be her. Been seen around the city, so her ex doesnt work out she is gone.
When Rowan walks into her sisters apartment she comes face to face with a strange man and ends up having a panic attack. Eli helps her through the attack and tells her his brother said he could come and pick up some paperwork from Willow's apartment. Eli is really surprised by Willow she is not what he was expecting. As Willow plays her part in her sisters ruse, her and Eli start to spend more time together. Eli finds he is attracted to Willow but cant go there as its his brothers ex. Rowan feels the attraction too. As the truth comes to light will these two be able to find their way to a happy ending? Cinderella in the spotlight is an enjoyable read one you wont want to put down. I look forward to reading Willow's story in the future. Highly recommended for fans of contemporary romance. ARC received via Netgalley & Mills & Boon in exchange for a honest review.

Rowan is sweet, kind and caring everything the big city of New York is not, so when she is asked to step into her sisters place she starts to spread her heart into the city, when she meets Eli he cant help but be drawn to her.
This is a really sweet romance and an enjoyable read

Cinderella in the spotlight is a romance novel by Sophie Pembroke.
This was such a quick read. The story was easy to follow and it has a great cast of characters. It's short enough to curl up with and binge read in an evening. A very enjoyable read that I highly recommend.
❤️ Thank you to netgalley and Mills and Boon Insiders for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Rowan is lovely. A kind, generous and beautiful sister who swaps with her twin to help her out. She spreads her kindness, and joy to the world of New York, not quite in her sister’s footsteps but definitely touching her world. Eli is a goner, and falls for her, against all his better judgments, but he knows something isn’t quite right, both Eli and Rowan care for each other, their jobs and what they can give for charity and it helps to have both their siblings as pushy and in one case nefarious. A lovely love story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A story of discovery
Rowan’s identical twin Willow has shown up on her doorstep on the Cornish coast pregnant and in need of a favour. She needs Rowan to go to New York and pretend to be her whilst she figures things out. Things get a bit more complicated when Rowan starts to fall for Eli, the brother of Willows ex boyfriend
I loved this book, especially Rowan. She is so conflicted, pretending to be Willow introduces a lot of stress to her life, Willow is still a successful model whereas Rowan quit that life and instead became a dress designer and this book looks a lot about the conflicts in Rowan. Who she was and who she is becoming whilst in New York, she is having to channel her inner Willow so their scheme doesn’t get found out and it also makes Rowan look at the life she has created, is she really happy or is it just an escape from her past are questions that get raised and seeing Rowan develop from the beginning to the end showed the person she was able to become. Eli was a harder character to get to know initially, he has a lot of emotional baggage and experiences a lot of internal conflict between the Willow he thought he know from the news cycle and the one he meets in New York, one good thing for Rowan and Willow is that Eli has never actually met Willow but he does get the sense that she is hiding something and his reactions to this as well as those of Rowan made them feel more realistic to me
I read this book over the course of two nights and will admit that it did keep me up later than it should have done as I got more involved in Eli and Rowans story. I think something that really appealed to me was that they were both involved in charitable causes, but not just as figureheads, Eli has his own charity and Rowans dressmaking is often done for those who want to feel beautiful even when they might not feel it and or confirm to the societal views of how they should look and this really struck a chord with me. I often struggle to find clothes that make me feel pretty so that’s probably why I bonded with Rowan as a character. One thing I have to add is that I’m really looking forward to reading Willows story when it come out, I need to know what happens and if she gets her HEA
I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a romance full of emotion and personal journeys which will capture your heart and imagination

This was an enjoyable story but I was unhappy about the sister’s situation. Her boyfriend Ben was an utter jerk in this book and I cannot imagine any way in which he can be redeemed in the next book. It meant it coloured my view of the pregnant sister and that kept interfering with my enjoyment of this book.

I don’t like the idea of a heroine being pregnant with a man who will not be a hero.
