I had such high hopes for this story after reading the short story on harlequin.com but this was a major let down. I wasn't convinced by the romance, it just felt forced. I didn't really understand Naina, one moment she was shy and hiding, the next outgoing and confident. Vikram.....I just didn't really like him. I understood why he'd acted as he did, what a huge burden he'd been left with but he felt cold almost, except for these feelings he has and doesn't want to admit to about Naina.
For me it would have worked better as a straight romance, the pushing it to fit Cinderella felt too forced and I think it was detrimental to the flow of the story.
