Cindy Revisited Reviews
4 ½ Blue Ribbons!
"Honey Jans takes a much beloved fairy tale and puts a modern spin on it with delightful results in her newest release CINDY REVISITED. I admit that I loved the fairy tale Cinderella but I enjoyed this story even more because rather than being sugary sweet, the plot is sexy, wicked, and far more realistic than the Disney version. There may not be a fairy godmother in real life but sometimes extraordinary things happen and you know - there's nothing wrong with dreaming about finding a special man ready, willing and able to whisk us away from the doldrums of life. This is a fun, imaginative tale with a bit of suspense which I'm sure readers will thoroughly enjoy."

"This is an unusual combination of a western themed erotic story with a Cinderella twist. There is also a pretty good element of suspense in the story. C.J. and Jake are both very strong characters. Jake is a very dominant alpha-type male. C.J. has had to be independent, since her father has spent all of her life either mourning her mother or dancing attendance on her stepmother and her children. The stepmother's only mission in life to maintain her lifestyle and social position, and to find eligible husbands for her pretty but useless and spoiled daughters and she either ignores C.J. or sees her as one of the servants. The daughters seem to have no redeeming qualities at all and fit right into the Cinderella theme. The attraction between Jake and C.J. is immediate and explosive and they seem perfect for each other. There are the inevitable conflicts between the dominant male and the woman who has always had to take care of herself. There clashes and the love scenes between the two are incendiary. I just loved the fairy godmothers and they provided some very funny moments in the plot. The suspenseful climax of the story is very well written and had me at the edge of my seat. I just could not put this story down and was very sorry to see it end."

"I really enjoyed reading Jake and Cyn's story. There was so much heat and passion, and just enough tension to keep you wanting more. This was the first time I've read Ms. Jans work and I will be looking for more in the future. I enjoyed her sense of humor and her writing style. There was a mystery to be solved between the sex that could have been better developed, but was lost between the sheets. I was pleased that the mystery was solved, but it held such a small part of my attention. I was more interested in the development of Jake and Cyn's relationship. Cindy was a great character. She was shy, but brazen enough not to hold herself back. I found her insecurities believable, though I could not imagine waiting until I was 29 before I lost my virginity! Cyn had a great imagination, and was lucky enough to find a partner that shared her sense of kink. Jake had magnificent Alpha-male sex appeal, which I absolutely loved. I could think of all kinds of fantasies I would like him to try out with me! Cindy and Jake were both smart and very likeable and believable characters."
