I’d imagine mine as Snow White and Seven Hot,,I mean Dwarves
Seven men to choose from, only one’s a prince–it’s up to our lovely White to choose which one.
It’s perfect!
I’m kinda partial to Beauty and the Beast but since that was done, Cinderella comes in at a close second.
It has so many realistic elements to it that everyone can relate to the hardships and wanting to meet Prince Charming to take you away from it all!

I would choose The Princess and Pea. I’ve always loved the story because there is a lot of mystery remaining about who the princess is. I think the pea is only the beginning.
I would pick Cinderella. I really like it in all the versions I have seen.

Since my fav beauty and the beast was already covered, my second would have to be snow white. Awesome giveaway. Thanks for the chance.

Beauty and the Beast for me. I like seeing the Beast reformed
Thank you for the wonderful giveaways. All these authors are knew to me but I have heard great things about their books.
The Princess and the Pea would be interesting… or Rupunzel…
This looks like a great series that I need to add to my list!
I think I would write the fifth book based on Snow White. That has always been my favorite fairy tale.

I like Beauty and the Beast but since that’s been done, probably Sleeping Beauty. The idea of waking up to the one person who made it through so many obstacles to find you just seems so fairy tale-esque and fun.
Wow! There are so many fairy tales to choose from! While I love the ones already chosen, I think I’d have to pick Sleeping Beauty. I haven’t seen anything recently with that story so I think I’d like to read that one.
I LOVE The storys already!!
I am particularly partial to Cinderella. I like the idea of the underdog winning in the end and the “terds” getting a taste of their own medicine. This could be a really interesting tale to twist into a paranormal!

Definitely Cinderella.
I think I would choose The Frog Prince. Having the hero and heroine be from such different backgrounds creates tension. The story would be full of conflict but in the end they would realize they need each other.
I would choose Cinderella because I’ve always loved that story. It already has a paranormal twist with the fairy godmother and her magic pumpkin coach, and I’d like to see what other twists an author could come up with to fit in with the theme of the Royal House of Shadows series.

LOL I would write Cinderella. Knowing with my mind I could envision some very hot and intense scenes of the prince being very alpha with her. Yummy! LOL!
Thanks for this giveaway!

The little mermaid
I’d probably go for Rapunzel
How would the world look to someone who was shut off in the tower? That would be what I’d base the fifth book on
Thanks for the lovely giveaway. Count me in. judimello AT gmail DOT com
I would go for The Frog Prince. Definitely love the major opposite attracts going on here.
I think I would have to choose The Little Mermaid. To have the story be set at least in part (a greater part) under the ocean would be interesting.
Thanks for this giveaway!

I think Rapunzel would be fun. Not too much done with that fairy tale that I can think of. Would be cute to see how one of those fab authors could um..spin it *G*.

Snow White or Cinderella
Rumpelstiltskin… talk about creepy elements in that one!
There are already two different Snow White movies coming out next year, I think I’ll have to go with Cinderella.
I’m going with Cinderella. But wouldn’t be cool if the roles were switched? The “Prince” can be the step-son and Cinderella can be the Princess looking for the man who wore glass…um, I don’t know! Either way I love Cinderellas tale.
Thanks for the giveaway!
The frog prince it just seems more fun and funny to fall in love with a frog lol
My favorite fairy tale is the Swan Princess. It’s about love and forgiveness and true love to break an enchantment.
It has been my favorite since I have seen the Russian ballet performing it.
hansel and gretel would be my pick
meandi09@yahoo.com
I like the idea of Rumplestiltskin being a complex, brooding character that seems evil at first…and morphs into a lonely, bitter hunk that just needs some TLC
Woot! What a fun giveaway! Thanks
I’d have to go with the Little Mermaid, but as a twist I’d make the prince a sexy merman…hmm, might have to change the title
The underwater scenes would be ubercool!
