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.

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 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.

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.

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.

'Heated Rivalry' is a great hockey themed romance. It not only has the thrilling hockey games but also delves deep into the relationship between two players on opposing teams who fall in love. The story shows how they navigate their feelings while also dealing with the competitiveness of the sport.

One example could be 'The Girl with the Louding Voice' which, while not directly about pestilence in the traditional sense, the difficult circumstances in the story can be somewhat analogous to the chaos and challenges that a pestilence might bring. The relationship that develops between the main characters against this backdrop is quite romantic.

One great fall - themed romance novel is 'Autumn in the Vineyard'. It tells a story of a woman who returns to her family's vineyard in the fall and falls in love with the local winemaker. Another is 'Falling for You in Fall', which features a couple who meet during a fall festival and their relationship blossoms as the leaves change color. And 'A Fall to Remember' where the characters' love story unfolds against the backdrop of a beautiful fall landscape.

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.
