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 that 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.

At The Stroke Of Midnight centers around Cynthia, a perfect housewife whose husband abandoned her for their babysitter, leaving her and their daughter behind penniless. She tried her best to hide the truth from everyone she knew but things were getting difficult when she faced money problems. She need to get money fast...

I bought this book after reading a review from a book blogger and thought it would be a fun read. At The Stroke Of Midnight is a fast paced book but I could not relate to the characters in it. Sure, it is a fun read but I still could not understand the logic behind their decision to become strippers. To me, she was just whining throughout the book and it annoyed me. The part where she shined was when she stood up against her husband at the end.

This book wasn't for me but if you like the premise, go ahead and read it.
