Entwined (Stone and Cinder Book 1) by A.L. Morrow – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an enjoyable and engaging fantasy romance, which is a retelling of the classic Cinderella fairytale. This story is definitely for more mature readers though, as it’s a very different version of the tale, involving a prince already married to a man and sexy scenes of a ménage. Ashling Glasby has grown up with tales of the dark creatures who live beyond the barrier arc that protects them. Now living with her bitter stepmother following the loss of her father, his final warning that one day the beasts would attack is coming true. Ashling turns up at Prince Callum’s ball to warn him and Callum is intrigued by the women who seems to know about the nightmarish creatures that are threatening his kingdom.
Meanwhile, Prince Callum and his husband Teague are searching for a women to join their relationship as the Prince needs an heir of his blood. As Callum and Ashling dance the Prince believes that she is the women they have been looking for, but then in true Cinderella style, midnight strikes. This is a fun fairly short easy read which had me hooked from page one. The storyline flowed well and the descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life which helped make me feel immersed in the story. I look forward to book two in the series.
