Sleeping Beauty WAKES UP! A Novel *Alternate Ending* edition by Elle Lothlorien Romance eBooks
Ok this review is going to be a little different because it is about 2 books and yes I read both of them and loved them! Sleeping Beauty and Sleepy Beauty wakes up is basically the same book but with alternate endings! I loved reading them! So now on to the review.Claire is a woman who has issues about waking up in strange places like on sidewalks and just random places. She goes to several doctors to find out what is going on and all of them tell her she has narcolepsy which one of her doctors doesn't agree with so she is on her way to see a children's doctor. On her way she has one of her episodes and wakes up to a guy telling her that she should be wearing a helmet. Now Claire is a petite woman who could pass for a minor so she is use to the way people treat her like a child and it aggravates her. So when she gets to the doctor's office she makes the nurse mad because she tells her that she isn't a minor. Then kicks the doctor's partner out because he hadn't read her charts. So when her actual doctor comes in laughing about her spunk and starts asking questions about her symptoms and what is going on. The doctor decides that Brendan (her partner) will be doing a sleep study on Claire the next night. So Claire calls her brother's boyfriend Devin to come pick her up and take her home. Devin is a surfer who has a degree in computer science and takes care of Claire while her brother is out with his band. So Devin knows what happens before one of her episodes and knows that Claire doesn't remember anything except what she is told. So when he finds out about the sleep study and he knows that one of her episodes that takes her out of commission for weeks is about to happen he asks if she told the doctors all of the symptoms. Which includes sexually attacking any guy that is around to the point of violence. Claire is very modest of this and just ignores it. So she goes to the sleep study and then blacks out.
Here is where the books start to separate and you get 2 different stories about how her life plays out and I have to say that my favorite book is Sleepy Beauty Wakes up. To give you an overview of both books Claire attacks Brendan at the sleep study but she also is very attracted to Devin and has went after him too. Devin who is really bisexual has some issues with his feelings. So it all depends on who you want to see Claire end up with. The books has very comical twists and turns and the dialog will have you laughing. I couldn't put them down and I read Sleeping Beauty first and just kept hoping for the other guy. So I read the other book and fell in love with that one too!

Sleeping Beauty WAKES UP! A Novel *Alternate Ending* edition by Elle Lothlorien Romance eBooks Reviews
I read the original book first and then read this alternate ending book. I really loved the book and would recommend it to anyone that likes a good story. It is not the famous Sleeping Beauty tale, but a more modern twist to the Sleeping Beauty tale. I will warn you - if you read the original book first, which is not necessary, you can start this book at Chapter 11 because all of the previous chapters are the same. If not, you can read this book through, and then get the original (if you are interested), and start that one at Chapter 11. Either way, I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a good love story, scandal, and mystery.
Surprised me that I chose this book, as I am a "cover lover" and this cover-awful, well I just shut my eyes and tried to ignore it, I downloaded the alternate ending (because of the reviews)...but no way will I read it, I forced myself out of curiosity to finish this...I like the way it started out, it did pull me in...but then it got just to unreal. Amazed at the reviews it got, that also pulled me in....guess I am a totally different reader than those that loved this book. Seemed like same ole, same ole, and some of the parts got me so turned around, would go back to read, and couldn't figure how I got there from here, was she a schizophrenic? or was there a page missing? not worth the effort with this one....sorry.
No recommendations here.
I loved the original Sleeping Beauty novel she wrote but I wasn't sure about the ending. When I saw that she rewrote it to have Claire end up with Davin I was really curious. I don't like all the changes she made. The amount of things she changed with Claire's time with Brendan and the trial left me feeling like the question of guilt wasn't definitive this time. Which just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially for what should be a light-hearted story. All of Claire's time with Brendan was written with so much disinterest, I think the author would have completely rewritten the story but didn't want to stray from the basic storyboard. Basically I think she should have changed less or changed much more.
I'm always a little put off when I find that a book, movie or song is being reworked, whether it's because of public outcry or maybe the writer simply got an epiphany. Either way, I generally don't buy into it and tend to avoid them at all costs. Upon reading the reviews on and also the comments on Facebook, I know that not everyone agreed with how the first book ended, so Elle worked some of her mystical powers. I don't know how she did it but the subtle tweaks thought, the alternative ending (only to those that read the 1st one) and the insertion of the memorial service video was brilliant. I haven't been this excited about a book since I read my very first Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I love your style, Elle. Keep up the good work and you can guarantee me as a fan for life.
I love all of Elle's books and can hardly wait for the new one, but I struggled with this one. I guess I had too hard of a time removing the first story from my head. I kept getting confused even though I KNEW the story was going to take a hard left in chapter 11, I kept thinking that it just didn't feel right. I actually didn't finish it because I had such a hard time separating the two books. (I even set it aside for over a month to see if that would help.) I know that if I had not read Sleeping Beauty first, then I would have completely loved this one so the reason for the 4 stars is not the fault of the book. But rather that I had such a hard time reading an alternate ending that I'm not sure if it is a good idea.
I think the next book - Gilding the Lilly-pad - will be easier for me because the PLOT will stay the same but the point of view from a different character will be fun.
