Blurb:
When the guy voted most likely to steal her heart comes back
to Asscrack, West Virginia, Ella Mae Bevinly is speechless…literally.
It's like she's been jinxed, but what are the odds of that? The opportunity of a lifetime is here, if she can get over her shyness long enough to play tennis in front of a packed crowd. Maybe wearing a magical glamour...and not sucking...is the answer she needs to change her life forever.
Of course, the heartbreaker has been a bad, bad boy. Magnus Cruze is the most popular tennis player on the Paranormal Professional Tennis Players' Tour. Now, he's back in his hometown of Asscrack to garner some positive public relations to save his career. He just has to be the perfect poster-boy of good behavior and not mess up again. That means keeping his hands off of Ella Mae…er…Tater Tate…or any other tennis player he comes across.
Tennis can't fix everything, but when jinxes fly faster than tennis balls, tell 'em to kiss your ace!

My Review:
Ella Mae Bevinly is very shy and is only able to talk to the
few people that she is very close to. Ella Mae lives with her step-mother and
two step-sisters who are always giving her orders and makes her do all the
house work and wait on them. Jinxerella is a Cinderella retelling. Ella Mae wants
nothing more than to make a life for herself so she can hopefully get out from
under her step-mothers evil thumb.
Her chance comes her way when a guy from her past arrives in
town looking for some good publicity to right some bad publicity. Tennis champion
Magnus Cruze from the Paranormal Professional Tennis Players' Tour is in town
to hold a tennis tournament for someone to go on tour with him.
Magnus is sort of an old friend of Ella Mae’s. Magnus just
happens to be her long lost prince charming so to speak. Yeah Ella Mae has had
a crush on our very hot Magnus ever since they were children playing together
in their hometown of Asscrack, West Virgina.
Ella Mae figures that if she joins the tournament then maybe
just maybe she can kill two birds with one stone as they say. If she joins the
tournament and wins then she can take the prize money to start her career and
then hopefully leave Asscrack behind or at least her step-mother and
step-sisters.
But she has one little problem and that is opening her
mouth. With her shyness she can’t even talk to the people at the registration
table so how she going to be able to stand in front of a crowd of people and
play tennis?
I love the little world that Cherie has created for the
Jinxed world and all of the amazing characters. Each character has a role to
play and they play it well even the evil step-mother and step-sisters. I loved
seeing Baba Yaga make an appearance.
Jinxerella is a short read that is so magically enthralling
that I couldn’t put it down I had to keep reading to learn more about each
character and where the story was going in this wonderful world of Jinxerella. I
like that we got to see the points of view from both Ella Mae and Magnus. I
like getting inside the heads of all the characters so that I can see how they
look and feel about what is going on around them and what their world is like.
I can’t wait to see where Cherie takes us next in the Jinx world.
I
highly recommend Jinxerella to all fans of magic, witches, retellings, fun
witty stories set in a magical little town filled with paranormal happenings.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
It all started with an old fashioned typewriter. When my
family brought it home, I knew what I wanted to do. All those stories rolling
around in my head could finally get out. The press and click of the keys were
satisfying in their own right, but when I pulled out a finished page, I knew
this was for me. Since then, I’ve graduated to a laptop, but the stories still
find a way out.
I’m a breast cancer survivor, a teacher, a wife, a mother,
and from the very beginning—a storyteller. Always a hint humorous and honest to
a fault, I love to make people laugh, smile, and have “a-ha” moments. My goal
in life is to achieve tact and stop procrastinating. The battle wages on.
