INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Review of Second Chance Cinderella (The Cindella Book Club Story 3) by Sharon Kleve




Second Chance Cinderella is story three in the new romance series, Cinderella Body Club. A timeless Cinderella story reimagined where four girlfriends make a wish on a magic locket. They all wish they are beautiful, confident, and able find their Prince Charming.

Raven St. James is a Phlebotomist in a prominent Portland, Oregon hospital. She is petite, with jet-back hair, green eyes, and extremely shy. She dreams of being like the nurses on the daytime hospital shows—perfect. Tall, blond, blue eyed, with big breasts.

Dr. Quinn Taylor admires Raven’s skill, and the caring she shows with her patients, but can’t get her attention. Until the day she winks at him.

Raven only has 24 hours in her Cinderella body. What will she do with it? Will she become the confident, strong, flirty girl she wants to be? Will she get the guy she’s always wanted? Quinn.

MY REVIEW:

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF FAIRY TALES AND FOREVER AFTER STORIES.  SECOND CHANCE CINDERELLA IS A MODERN DAY CINDERELLA STORY.  IN THE MODERN WORLD, WOMEN LACK THE SELF CONFIDENCE, ARE SHY AND ARE AFRAID OF PURSUING WANT THEY WANT.  SOCIETY TODAY HAS NOT HELPED WOMEN BY CONCENTRATING ON APPEARANCE, LOOKS IF THEY ARE FAT OR SLIM.  EVERYTHING IS ABOUT APPEARANCE AND NOT WHAT IS IN THE INSIDE.   I FEEL THIS SERIES IS PERFECT FOR ALL WOMEN TO READ.  IT WILL HELP THEM BE WHO THEY TRULY ARE AND NOT BE AFRAID TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS.   I CAN RELATE TO ALL THE WOMEN IN THE SERIES ESPECIALLY RAVEN.  I THINK RAVEN IS LIKE ME IN ALOT OF WAYS.

SHARON HAS WEAVED TOGETHER ANOTHER PERFECT LOVE STORY.  SECOND CHANCE CINDERELLA IS A MAGICAL LOVE STORY RIGHT OUT OF THE FAIRY TALE BOOKS.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RAVEN AND QUINN.  THEY ARE PERFECT FOR ONE ANOTHER.  QUINN SAW THE REAL RAVEN FROM THE BEGINNING AND WAS INTERESTED BUT NEVER COULD GET HER ATTENTION.  THANKS TO THE MAGICAL LOCKET, HE GETS HER ATTENTION AND WASTES NO TIME IN BEING WITH HER.   WILL HOW QUINN FEELS CHANGE AT THE STRIKE OF MIDNIGHT?

THIS BOOK AND SERIES IS A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.  I LOVE SHARON'S WRITING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF HER BOOKS.  SHE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE WRITERS.  5 STARS






Sharon Kleve was born and raised in Washington and currently lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her husband.
Sharon is a multi-published author of paranormal and contemporary romance. She loves romance. She loves reading romance, living romance, and especially loves writing about romance. She gets no greater feeling than watching her characters come alive in each other's arms. Most of all, she loves giving her characters the happily ever after they deserve—with a few bumps and bruises along the way.
One of her favorite things to do is picking up a new book and sinking into the story, immersing herself in the emotions between the characters. She hopes to inspire her readers the same way her favorite authors have inspired her.
When not writing, she can usually be found either curled up in her recliner with her cat and a good book, or in the kitchen baking sourdough bread or bagels.


I’m asked on a regular basis why I have some sort of animal in every one of my books. It is simple…I love animals and I love writing about them. It doesn’t matter what kind, shape, or size. I love them all!

Throughout my life I’ve had dogs, birds, frogs, lizards, rabbits and of course precious cats. My husband and I have a dozen bird feeders, two water fountains and multiple yard-art fixtures that we put food and water in for the critters.

Several years ago our cat of fifteen years passed away and we were going to wait awhile before getting another one but as the days went on we missed having a cat. It was during the winter so there weren’t any kittens available. I searched all the shelters and saw pictures of an eight-month-old female, shorthair cat.

When we picked up Ardy from the Bremerton, WA PAWS, they said we'd never be able to pick her up or touch her. She'd been abused. My husband played with her and instantly fell in love. We took her home and after many months of special care, she loves to be held. We laugh because she likes it so much she won't let you put her down.

All animals deserve a little time, patience and a good loving home.
