Summary: Blue Suede Shoes
Review: Once upon a time, in a magic kingdom, there lived a handsome prince. Prince Charming, he was called by one and all. And to this land came a gentle princess. You could say she was Cinderella. Magic kingdom? Okay, if you're going to be a stickler for accuracy, in this fairy tale the kingdom is Manhattan. But there's magic in the Big Apple, isn't there? Prince Charming? Oh, boy! You've heard the rumors, I suppose. So, he's Prince Not-So-Charming on occasion. So he drives an orange pick-up truck, not a pumpkin coach. Big deal! He is handsome. A gentle princess? Picky, picky, picky! Who says a woman has to be soft and fluffy all the time? Haven't you ever heard of PMS? Cinderella? Well, maybe she does wear blue suede shoes instead of glass slippers, but she's looking for happily-ever-after just the same. And Ms. Hill makes sure she gets her prince and her castle, not some hound dog and Heartbreak Hotel.

Summary: Elvis meet Cinderella
Review: Sandra Hill has done it again. She has created some of the most memorible characters. Her books are never boring. They always have action, passion, heated arguments, and humor. I would recommend any and all of her books to everyone.

This one starts off when we meet, Prince"Charming" Perico Tomas de la Ferrama, aka P.T. as he is getting into character for his Princely role of owner of Ferrama Shoes. He has, with the help of his two best friends, created a highly sucessful company that is about to go public. He has taken his step-fathers old shoe company and turned into a multi-million dollar business. He spots a possible problem though in the body of a long legged beauty holding picket signs using crutches. He is breahless at the sight of her but when they actually meet he finds him self breathless from the punch she throws him. Cynthia Sullivan is known on Wallstreet as the Shark and when she is injured wearing Ferrama shoes she threatens a lawsuit unless they settle on her terms. Cynthia will not admit to anyone that P.T. has knoced her for a loop. She stands her ground which is the cause for her downfall. P.T. has two step-sisters that need the money that going public will give them and they are not about to let her interfear with those plans. They kidnapp her along with a Elvis wanna be named Elmer Presly. P.T. goes after her and finds hims self kidnapped as well. Soon Elmer, who claims to be thier fairy god-father, works his magic on the two of them and they can't keep thier hands of each other. The passion is so hot that they almost burn up. But below the surface of the passion lies love that both are fighting. Its a struggle to see who will win love or thier stubborn natures.

The secondary stories and secondary characters of this tale are fab and make this all the more enjoyable to read. You've don it again Sandra! Way to Go!

Summary: Another winner!
Review: Sandra Hill is one of my favorite authors; I buy everything she writes as soon as it hits the shelves. LOVE ME TENDER is one of my favorites, a definite Keeper, full of her usual humor and sexiness. I grabbed it for the great cover, but stuck around for the even better story inside!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Simply Boring
Review: Sandra Hill of course is one of my favorite authors, so you could imagine my distain when I read this particular book. It was unbelieveable, and outlandish. I lost focus halfway through and that is totally uncharacteristic for her other books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Definitely her best effort.
Review: This is Sandra Hill's finest, as for once, she actually writes a decent plot instead of relying on jokes. And it is still fabulous romantic comedy.

Cynthia and PT are wonderful characters, though PT sometimes get a little too glib for my liking. The Elvis angle is slightly distracting, but overall I enjoyed reading this book. It's funny, romantic, and it actually has substance.

Obviously Miss Hill is capable of so much more. I can't wait for her next books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a hoot!
Review: This is the most hilarious play on the old Cinderella theme. And the Spanish prince in this story is to die for. I laughed and sighed and wished fairy tales like this really could come true. A great book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a funny romance!
Review: This modern-day Cinderella story held my interest from beginning to end. I loved the tart-tongued Cynthia and wept at the childhood of poverty that had killed her dreams. I loved the roguish Peter, who was pretending to be a prince. And the Elvis-impersonator godmother...I mean, godfather...well, he was only icing on the cake. A very enjoyable read by the very talented Ms. Hill.

Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: This was my first Sandra Hill book and I cannot believe that I was told how good her books are! There were several funny spots but overall I was sorry that I wasted my time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I thorougly enjoyed it!
Review: This was the first Sandra Hill book I have read. So many people had told me how great an author she was and they were right! This book makes you laugh all the way through (not a good idea when everyone in your house is sleeping<g>). The hero and heroine were hilarious, and I enjoyed watching them fall in love. The Elvis 'thing' was also funny, and I loved the secondary characters. I'll be looking for more of Ms.Hill's books in future!
