Spellbound Cinderella is book two in The Cinderella Body Club series. A series where four girlfriends make a wish on a locket, wishing they were beautiful, and looked like the girls they've always wanted to be. But of coarse there was a catch, the magic only lasted 24 hours, midnight to midnight.

For Tess feeling like plain-Jane, is not hard when you have models coming around frequently. Tess owns a small employment agency, which helps some of the models between shoots.
Parker is the photographer who works with those models and on the same floor of her building. Feeling like a pain-Jane makes it hard for Tess to come out of her she'll and strike up a conversation with Parker.
So when she woke up and found out the locket worked she was more than willing to step out of her comfort zone and talk to Parker. Will he be interested in her too? And if so will he still like her when the clock strikes twelve?
This is a perfect modern Cinderella ugly duckling story. Sometimes how we see ourselves in not always how we are seen.

It would seem difficult to think of an extended visit of girlfriends that doesn't take the opportunity at some point during the conversation for sharing of each other's own perception of physical attributes - regardless of the ages of the girls or women. Analysis of one's own physical beauty seems part of the life-long pursuit of happiness for a girl - a woman. Then think of the possibilities that begin with the setting of a girls' night with the dearest of friends in comfy clothes, uninterrupted time for sharing conversation, wine, home-made treats of delicious fresh bruschetta on crostini and exquisite death-by-chocolate squares. The shared conversation includes the show-and-tell of a grandmother's gift of a beautiful locket to her namesake granddaughter Cami and the retelling of grandmother's story - well, at least part of the story as shared up until Grandma Cami fell asleep. But the possibility of a magical locket gives the four (4) friends, Cami, Tess, Raven, and Annalise pause to create a "Cinderella" wish of their own for the next 24 hours. Will a wish come true? Is there any possibility that the wish could last longer than 24 hours?

I must add that I loved the feature of a daughter's birthday gift to her mother of a book and the promise of attending the book signing together on the author's scheduled day to visit their city of Portland. The insert of a feature such as this distinctive joy is one of the elements that raise my enjoyment of a story to a higher level.

I wish I could gift this series of stories to all adults who are searching for self-acceptance, self-confidence, and self-worth. I'd also like to gift this story to every public library, family member or friend that is searching for a special story to give to a reader searching for the understanding that each of us is in the driver's seat, holding the keys to our own public persona . I am not so naïve to think that all those searching for self-acceptance and self-confidence will have the same experience as Cami and Lance in Story 1 and now Tess and Parker in Story 2 but perhaps the stories can be the catalyst and inspiration to initiate a conversation that leads to a new beginning.

I am looking forward to the next titles in the series with delightful anticipation as my guess would be that the next girls' nights might also spark possibilities for Raven and then Annalise or for Annalise and then Raven!
