THE FOOTMAN

Heartbroken over her father's death, Cynthia is left behind with her step-mother and step-sisters. Her half-baked scheme to flee her home with her valiant steed, Luke, is stopped before it's ever begun. Enter the mysterious fairy god-mother Cynthia never knew she had, who, with a wave of a wand, turns her into a lady worthy of a prince, the mice into horses, and her horse into a strapping footman—a footman who will stoke her desires and awaken the impossible. Destiny comes for Cynthia, but will it spell her demise after the climax?

  • That was one wild ass Cinderella retelling lol. The completely different direction that went with the palace and who she falls for caught me off guard lol obviously based off the title the footman is a main character, and man oh man did he play that part 🤣 The phrase “hung like a horse” has taken things far too seriously, so be prepared for quite the star feature of the show lol Thank you to S.A. Burd for the eARC, it was hilarious and fantastic! Short and to the point with a HEA.

  • 4.5 for me This was a really fun, quick read that took the Cinderella story and turned it on its head in the best way possible with some very interesting spice 😉😏.

  • My mouth is still hanging open after reading S.A Burd's The Footman. It has everything you want in a Cinderalla retelling, the evil step sisters, the fairy godmother, the cute little mice and man oh man does it have the horse. If you want a twisty, turney tale that gallops into taboo territory with a very chivalrous horse MMC who's large in ALL the ways...then step on up, this books for you!
