The Reluctant Godfather A Retelling of Cinderella
A humorous and magical re-telling of Cinderella from a unique perspective.Burndee is a young and cantankerous fairy godfather, who would rather bake cakes than help humans. A disgrace to the fairy order, Burndee has only two wards entrusted to his care...a cinder girl and a charming prince. A royal ball presents Burndee with the brilliant solution of how to make his wards happy with the least amount of effort. He'll arrange a meeting and hope the two fall in love. The debut novella from Allison Tebo, 'The Reluctant Godfather' is a new addition to the charming fairy tale tradition of Cameron Dokey and K.M. Shea.

Re-read October 2017: I swear this story was even better the second time around. LOVELOVELOVE this book. <333 (I already want to reread it, to be honest.) Burndee bristled. It was his job to give disgruntled looks and call people fools. "Cakes don't pyschoanalyze you." "Nice? Twinkle-ly?" Burndee pondered the ramifications of the two words that he had never heard applied to himself. Coming from a human, he viewed it as faintly suspicious, possibly insulting. 5 stars!
