AshleyBeing New York royalty has its perks. It also has its major pitfalls. One of those is that my wealthy father wants me to marry someone just like him. He sees himself as successful and well-respected, but I see him as a womanizer without the ability to love. We don’t agree on my future, so he throws a Halloween party and tells me I can choose any suitor from the party. I reluctantly go, but … go, but what neither of us expected, was Mr. Mysterious. He shows up out of nowhere, steals my heart, and leaves me with a choice. One path leads to happily ever after and the other leads to the scandal of the century. I make my choice, but what happens when the two paths converge again?
Eli
To say that my stepfather is evil would bean understatement. When he prohibits me from something, it just makes me want it more, consequences be damned. So when Trevor tells me I can’t go to the upscale, elite Halloween party being thrown by one of the New York Elite, I know I have to go. What I don’t expect is for my revenge plan to go off the rails when I meet the one girl with the power to make me bend my knee. But I have a dark secret that would shatter the fragile trust that Ashley and I have built, and a stepfather who’s hellbent on destroying me.
Glass Ceilings is intended for mature audiences and contains situations that may be inappropriate for readers under 18. The story is steamy and scandalous, but has a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like your fairy tales twisted, this is the book for you!

This is most definitely not the Cinderella story my mother read to me as a child. This is a sexy twisted version, and I love it! Ashley is the Potty Princess. Daddy wants her married to someone in the appropriate social station, but she’ll have none of that. She hooks up with a masked man at the Halloween ball, but he disappears just before midnight, leaving one boot behind. It doesn’t take her long to find Eli, the gardener’s stepson. They embark on a raucous affair, and before long, they both have much different feelings, not just the desire for incredible sex. Unfortunately, Eli has a big secret, and someone’s threatening to reveal it. This book grabbed my attention from the beginning, and I would have read it in one setting if not for work and sleep.

This is a twist on Cinderella with the most unlikely characters of Eli, as Prince Charming and Ashley as “Princess” Cinderella. These two re-establish the boundaries of the have and have nots. It was definitely insta-lust in the beginning, but so many obstacles to overcome if they want their HEA. Good read!

Glass Ceilings (Fairly Twisted Tales Book One) by Lux Miller. I really enjoy a good re-telling of classic fairy tales but this one I thought was not only good- it was AMAZING! The detail and tragedy in this story are breathtaking. It swept me up and carried me away for a blissful getaway. I’m looking forward to more from this series and author and I would recommend to others. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I enjoyed reading this book I am a huge fan of a good adult fairy tale so Ashley and Eli’s book was a great fit for me. A good twist on the Cinderella story I am looking forward to the rest of the series
This is the story of Ashley and Eli; both have father’s or a stepfather they don’t really like. They weren’t supposed to meet but they do and they immediately like each other much to the disapproval of both fathers! It’s an easy fun read and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Breaking that Glass Ceiling
*** 3 1/2 Stars ***
Glass Ceilings takes the classic Cinderella story that all little girls grew up hearing and flips it on its head. Yep you have the outline of the classic story but Ashley (Cinderella) is the rich princess and Eli (Prince Charming) is the poor and abused one. The supporting characters play a good role in the story as when Ashley and Eli meet they discover they have a number of things in common and bond over them. But as all things in fairytale land they are parted quickly and the hunt is on by Ashley to find the the captivating handsome man who lost his shoe, well really it is his boot.
This story is fun and fluffy with a number of modern aspects incorporated into the story and a few unexpected twists. My only issue is that it could use some work to tighten it up in places and shed some of the length of the overall book. Additionally there were some proofreading issues, which drive me crazy when reading. However, I did enjoy reading this take on the classic fairytale as it is good to see the female character in the stronger position. I look forward to reading the next books in the Fairly Twisted Tales series by Lux Miller.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
The plot idea for this steamy, reverse Cinderella story is great, but the book itself in this moment in time has a long way to go before it too can be considered great, because there are simply too many inconsistent/contradictory descriptions and implausible events to ignore. In reality, if everything were written in the 3rd person without any inner thoughts or explanations from Eli and Ashley that would fix a lot of the problems with the contradictions at least. However, the implausibility issues remain: just one such example is why would a 22 year old manwhore with a tidy nest egg set aside ever consider living at home with a stepfather and stepsisters that he abhors? Then there is the idea that a 19 year old could have, within 3 years, both created award winning roses and then used them to build the aforementioned nest egg when it normally takes teams of botanists several years just to create a new variety worth introducing… the list would go on and on but I’m stopping there.
Jftr, kudos to Trevor for defending his daughter’s right to sleep around from Eli’s hypocritical accusations.
Also, I loved the fairy mafia godfather. This book has a lot of potential to be terrific.
