Can you recommend some cinderella themed romance novels?

Well, 'The Wallflower' series by Lisa Kleypas has some books that can be considered cinderella - themed historical romances. These books often feature heroines who are overlooked or in difficult situations, much like Cinderella, and then they meet their dashing heroes. Also, 'Silhouette Desire' novels sometimes have stories in a historical setting that play on the Cinderella idea. They usually involve a transformation of the heroine from a low - status to a loved and desired woman.

There are some self - published works that deal with transgender Cinderella - type romances. You can search for them on online bookstores by using keywords like 'transgender romance' and 'Cinderella - inspired'. Some small - press publishers also focus on queer literature and might have works in this vein. It might take some digging, but there are likely hidden gems out there waiting to be discovered for those interested in this specific type of romance story.

There's also 'The Cinderella Deal' by Jennifer Crusie. While it may not be strictly set in a very traditional historical period, it still has that Cinderella - like plot where an ordinary girl meets an extraordinary man, and it has a bit of a historical feel in terms of the character relationships and the small - town atmosphere.

A common element is the presence of a downtrodden female protagonist, like Cinderella. She is usually treated poorly by her step - family. Another element is the idea of a transformation. In the original Cinderella, it was her transformation with the help of the fairy godmother. In these novels, it can be a transformation of self - confidence or a physical makeover. And, of course, there's the presence of a male love interest, often someone of a higher social standing, similar to the prince in the classic tale.

In cinderella - themed historical romance novels, the setting is crucial. It's often in a historical period like the Victorian era or the Regency period. The heroine is usually in a situation where she has to endure hardships. She might be mistreated by her step - family or be in a difficult financial situation. The hero, on the other hand, is initially unaware of her true beauty or worth. But as the story progresses, through a series of encounters, often starting with a chance meeting at a social event, he falls in love with her, just as the prince did with Cinderella.

A popular choice is 'Love in the Key of C'. The main characters meet at a music conservatory. The story is full of passion and the power of music that binds them through their ups and downs in love. They face challenges like competing for scholarships and dealing with family opposition to their relationship, but music always brings them back together.

Another good option is 'Holiday in the Hamptons' by Sarah Morgan. This novel takes place during the holidays in the beautiful Hamptons. The story is about two people from different worlds who meet and fall in love. It has a great mix of holiday cheer, family drama, and of course, romance.

Well, there's 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes. The main character experiences a life - changing accident that affects her memory and her relationship with the male lead is deeply intertwined with this. Then, 'The Light We Lost' by Jill Santopolo, where the characters' past memories, including some lost due to an event similar to amnesia, shape their romantic connection. Additionally, 'Second Chance Summer' by Morgan Matson, which has a character dealing with a situation that mimics amnesia to some extent and there is a beautiful love story within the pages.

I'm not sure there are a large number of specifically 'KFC - themed' romance novels. However, you could potentially find some novels where the characters meet at a KFC or have a special moment related to it. You might want to search on some e - book platforms or in local libraries using keywords like 'fast food' and 'romance' to see if anything comes up.

One popular makeover themed romance novel is 'The Princess Diaries' by Meg Cabot. It's about a girl who goes through a major makeover to become a princess. Another is 'She's All That' which also has elements of a makeover leading to a romantic relationship.
