In the land of the Five Hundred Kingdoms, if you can't carry out your legendary role, life is no fairy tale.…Elena Klovis was supposed to be her kingdom's Cinderella — until fate left her with a completely inappropriate prince! So she set out to make a new life for herself. But breaking with "The Tradition" was no easy matter — until she got a little help from her own fairy godmother. Who promptly offered Elena a most unexpected job.…Now, instead of sleeping in the chimney, she has to deal with arrogant, stuffed-shirt princes who keep trying to rise above their place in the tale. And there's one in particular who needs to be dealt with….Sometimes a fairy godmother's work is never done….

Light and fluffy - just what I needed!
Lackey tends to excel at world-building and I really enjoyed this new universe. Take a couple of interesting characters, throw in subverted fairy tales and some romance, and stir!
I do see why a lot of bookstores have trouble deciding where to shelve it. It is definitely fantasy, but it has the feel and structure of a romance novel. Luckily, I enjoy both!
