This was an interesting read. Not my favorite book but I did enjoy it. Not sure it'll stick with me though.

This book was cute and adorable but it was slow and took me a while to get into it. There are other romcoms I would recommend before I would list this one

So many expectations… So little of them met. *sigh*


I think I jinxed my good reading mojo… It’s only a couple of weeks ago that I was praising Entangled Publishing (for publishing books that would make good book to screen adaptations). I’ve since read two other books by Entangled (one of them being this one that I’m reviewing right now) and both have been… underwhelming



Like I said above, I was so looking forward to Knocked Up Cinderella. The synopsis, the cover and the author all pointed to this being a laugh-out loud-because-it’s-just-that-funny read. I was laughing alright but it was mostly in disbelief at Ian’s character. I mean in this, the year 2020 are we still writing characters like Ian’s? (and that too in a non-ironic, completely serious way? At first I was like the author’s probably wrote him like that on purpose, in an ironic “look at this guy” kind of way but I read on and realised the author was actually serious, no irony here). I should’ve seen it coming though because the first thing I thought as I read the first few chapters was “I’m not liking either of these characters.” 


For a book that was meant to be modern/contemporary the characters felt dated… You know that one relative that tries to sound “hip to the times” at family gatherings but everyone can see that he’s trying too hard? The characters (Julie and Ian especially) came off like that. 


It didn’t help that the male character was called Ian and wore glasses, all I could see when I read that was Ian Beale. Ian Beale has has irrevocably ruined (for want of a better word) any and all Ian’s for me (anyone who has ever seen an episode of EastEnders will know exactly what I mean). I had hoped that this book would change my perception/image of the name but alas! Nothing like that happened. And on top of that you had him using sentences like “pinged my desire.” When I tell you I cackled!  I had no idea desire pinged haha… 


I have a note on my kindle marking Knocked Up Cinderella as a possible did-not-finish (because of all of the above). I guess my instincts were right because I put Knocked Up Cinderella down at 23% (I gave it an extra chapter before deciding, hoping it might change). I wish I had something positive to say about the book, but other than the cover’s nice, I don’t have anything else to say.

Here lately I've been into reading romance and rom-coms. This book is about Erin who is 40 years old, single and an elementary school principal. She decides to have a one night stand, no strings attached with Ian Donovan. He's a ladies man and doesn't attach himself to anything but his job. Erin discovers she's pregnant and tells Ian. They decide to stay single and be apart of their child's life. Throughout the book and Erin's pregnancy, they discover they can't stay away from one another. The get together again a couple more times and text each other every day. In the end, they both have to decide if being single or being together is the best thing for them. 
I liked this book, I did. I feel like maybe something was missing. I can't put my finger on it but I want more. I didn't really care for Ian. I understand he tried to do good on behalf of his son, but his personality or attitude just annoyed me at times.

An easy read that I flew through in just a couple of sittings. Full of laugh out loud moments, a surprise baby, and close-knit friends, this is an undeniably fun comfort read!

Blurb: Ian, a totally rich playboy, and Erin, the responsible school principal decide to have a night of no-strings attached sex, but the two don’t anticipate the little surprise that comes with their one night stand.

An opposites attract, surprise baby romance that is all about Ian and Erin navigating what they really want out of life and if they can build a lasting relationship. This is a surprisingly quick and enjoyable read with strong characters, great banter, and lots of cute misadventures. An adorable and non-cheesy romance that I really loved! I want to read more from this author!

I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant going into this book as the protagonist is probably the oldest one I've read (I then proceeded to picture her around my age group to help with that)  That aside though, the plot was so interesting that I didn't find myself noticing that she was older than my Mother. 

The chemistry between her and the love interest was adorable and I loved watching them fall in love with one another. The writing style was right up my alley and every page was gripping, I truly couldn't put this book down.

Unfortunately not the book for me, I ended up DNFing this particular story. Just couldn't connect with the main characters :(

This book was not for me. I did not particularly like it and ended up DNFing it thus won't be able to provide a detailed review.

I expected to enjoy this book a lot more than I actually did. I'm usually a fan of surprise babies but I just didn't find this book too enjoyable.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review Knocked-Up Cinderella. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish this book and won't be rating or reviewing at this time. Should I decide to give it another chance down the road, I will rate and review on my blog, Goodreads and retailers at that time.

This was an absolutely adorable book. It doesn’t start out in the traditional way, where girl meets boy and they slowly build up to a relationship. No, they have a ridiculously hot one night stand and she winds up pregnant. What I love about Erin is that she’s no-nonsense and has a backbone. Ian is pretty much a stereotypical rich guy who doesn’t do relationships, but he’s not really a jerk. I did enjoy the relationship they build together—becoming friends before hopping back into bed together. A few of the conflicts did seem contrived, but for the most part the book was believable and adorable. I read it all in one sitting.

This story was a fun, unexpected read that had me laughing, awing and finished with a satisfied smile.

I was overjoyed to read about, Ian and Erin, our lead characters who were both 40 yrs old! The story was sweet, mature, and simply lovely.

4,5 stars 

I haven’t really read many books where the heroine is above 40. Having a more mature female lead was a nice change!

Erin is a 40-years-old elementary school principal. She’s kind of an unconventional one since she swears a lot and is not really social. She meets Ian when he wins an auction for a date with her. He’s “Clark Kent” kind of hot; both smart and nerdy hot! After their night together, what they didn’t anticipate was an accidental pregnancy.

It was really interesting to see the relationship between these two. Ian is a workaholic, he lives for his job and doesn’t really care about anything else. Erin really wants this co-parenting thing to work but his letting her down constantly. I was so frustrated with Ian for treating her that way.

This book is the perfect read for a casual afternoon. It has some dram and funny moments too!! The ending was lovely and wrapped up the story just right!!!

One of my new favorite books! This author has such a way with words the pages flew by in no time! I can’t wait to see the next work by this author! This was such a joy to read!

This one was very cute! I’ll admit, I requested it because the title and cover were pretty great, I had to give it a shot. I adored that the main characters were over 40, it felt a lot more realistic to me having them be older! Erin and Ian has fantastic chemistry, it was so easy to root for them to have a HEA. I found myself laughing many times, definitely deserves being considered a rom-com. I loved the ending, just really a fantastic enjoyable book. I’ll definitely read more books from Hammerle!

Super cute spring read! Nothing too heavy here. Just a cute love story between Ian and Erin. Love the friend relationships, the side characters are just as fun to read about. Is this a series?? Hmm.

This title is funny, snarky and oh so sassy! The MC is a riot and I instantly wanted to become best friends with her! This is not your typical romance with a shrinking violet! This story is every bit the perfect romance novel!

This was so fun and sweet. Exactly what I would expect from a fun chick-lit romance. I loved the main character Erin.

3,5 STARS

I had high expectations for this one, and I still like it but it wasn't exactly what I was expected!It was lighthearted,funny and sweet.Ian has so many issues and I felt the book was going on and on about his issues  which frustrate me a lot! I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped!
