Publisher's summary

Meet the Naughty Princess Club: a brand-new audiobook series from USA Today best-selling author Tara Sivec that introduces listeners to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity - and romance - that ensue when three women start a new business to make it rain.

Once upon a time, Cynthia was the perfect housewife. Between being the president of the PTA and keeping her home spotless without a hair (or her pearls) out of place, her life was a dream come true. Her husband was once her knight in shining armor, but now he’s run off with all their money...and the babysitter.

Dressed as a princess at the annual Halloween block party on Fairytale Lane, she meets two other “princesses” also facing money troubles: antique store owner Ariel and librarian Isabelle. When the women are invited to wear their costumes to a party where they’re mistaken for strippers, Cindy, Ariel, and Belle realize that a career change could be the best way to make their money problems go bippity-boppity-boo. But can structured Cindy approach a stripper pole without sanitizing wipes? And could the blue-eyed anti-prince who has been crossing her path become Cindy’s happily ever after?

At the Stroke of Midnight is a hilarious, empowering story where princesses can save themselves while slaying in stilettos.

Cinderella was never so much fun!

At The Stroke Of Midnight is a super fun retelling of Cinderella. The Naughty Princess Club is formed when Cynthia, Isabelle and Ariel need to find a way to support themselves. They take the lemons that life has given them and make some amazing spiked lemonade!!

“I don’t think this is a children’s princess party!” I shout over the noise of the rambunctious men as a shower of dollar bills land at my feet. One of the men yells “TAKE IT OFF!”

After being abandoned, divorced and left with no money by her husband, Cindy is just trying to keep up appearances for the PTA and her neighbors. But together with Belle and Ariel, she learns to shake off the persona that her ex-husband and MiL have built around her and she starts shaking something else!

“You are NOT going to die sexless and alone with anything stuck in your cookie, aside from another much larger, much more enjoyable frickle,” Ariel reassures me.”

I adore this really humorous series of steamy fairytales that are entertaining and loaded with heart and heat!!
-5 Stars!-

laughed out loud alot alot

funny, witty, sarcasm, fun



The friends talk to each the way my friends talk to each other. Fun booked, with some sex but it doesn't take away from the story. Tara Sivec, is now one one of my favorite authors. thanks for the laugh I needed it!

Overall good listen.

I love all of Tara Sivec’s books. I liked the women empowerment theme. I didn’t love the stripper aspect. I think my morales and personal beliefs made me not open up to the idea too much. Maybe I’m too goody goody. Haha. It was very funny. Enjoyed the romantic scenes. This just isn’t one of my favorite books from this author. Her newer stuff is hilarious and great!

Fantastic!

Super funny story - the humor was a bit over the top at times but still absolutely hilarious. This is a really unique take on a Cinderella story and I loved it. Unlike other fairtytales, in this one the princess didn't wait for a prince to rescue her, she rescued herself. I loved that Cindy took control of her own life and did what she had to do for herself and her daughter. She was a kick-ass heroine and this book had a fantastic women's empowerment vibe. Narration was really well done! I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for more in the Naughty Princess Club series!!!

The perfect RomCom

Funny, sexy, and sweet. The perfect RomCom. Tara Sivec does it again! Cindy and PJ made me laugh and swoon.

Lots of fun!

Downloading the next in the series! Love the corny twist on the fairytale theme. Not sure about Ariel’s story. She’s a bit too snarky... I’ll likely listen to that one, too, though.

a great start

I loved this book. It is a great start ,to a series with a very interesting twist on your classic fairytales. It is a book full of great characters that keep you engaged in their stories. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. It is a book I highly recommend.

Great story!

This story is different from any other one I have listened to and I loved it! I did actually laugh out loud. It is definitely a feel good story. It really brightened my day...

LOVED!

I absolutely adored this book! The only thing I think could’ve made this better is if it had some of PJ’s point of view as well. That being said that’s only because my preference of duel POV books. Definitely worth the money/credit! I may actually listen to it again (I usually only listen to books once) and will definitely be getting the other books in this series!

Just what I needed.

I've had a really rough couple of weeks and this story and narrator were exactly what I needed to bring a smile to my face and joy in my life. Thank you. <3
