While her stepsisters are TV stars, twenty-four-year-old Cynthia "Cyn" Lopez is more of a maid to her siblings Lila and Ami at RTV; she is at the spoiled beck and call of the famous "devil diva" twins. However, in less than a year she inherits her late dad's wealth that her stepmother currently controls and wastes; at that time her deathbed vow to her dad ends and the stepsister divas and momma diva will be out of her life.
At a gala she manages to attend, Cyn meets AmerCon CEO Eric Sandoval, who is five years older than her. His company owns RTV. They begin to see one another, but each hides their profession from the other. Her stepsisters learn of her seeing Eric and dynamite her relationship. Desperate she turns to her friend, the makeup artist "fairy godmother" to help her win her Eric at the RTV Music Awards, but loses a glass Manolo and probably the man she loves.
CINDERELLA LOPEZ is an adult-style, Latino, chick lit telling of the fairytale. The storyline is fun to follow as each of the characters steps out of the fairytale and into a modern role. Fans will enjoy Cyn's transformation from doormat to lovely belle of the ball as she goes all-out to win her "prince". A fun tale as Berta Platas provides a unique chica spin to Cinderella.
