Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1) By A.L. Morrow
4-stars
Entwined is by far my favourite retelling of the classic tale of Cinderella. This is the most original retelling I have read to date, it’s exciting, dark, touching, surprising and action-packed. There was truly never a dull moment, I did find this story to be a shorter read then I was expecting but I am highly intrigued by the storyline and am really excited to read Book 2 as soon as I possibly can.
I really appreciated how this author wrote with so much detail, from the characters, their emotions, their surroundings, even the smallest of details was there, making it very easy for me to follow along and picture everything playing out. This is a book I would recommend to any fans of the original tale of Cinderella.

Morrow – Review by Kaitlynn Taylor
This book was completely not what I expected in a Cinderella retelling but I absolutely LOVED it. Steamy, fast-paced, action packed, what a delight! It is quite a short read, which left me wanting more. The Character and World building is phenomenal, I especially liked Ashling’s strength and how this isn’t just your typical damsel in distress retelling. I picked this book up, and didn’t put it back down again until I had finished (its that good!). *I don’t want to give away spoilers, but its worth noting that the book has M/M explicit scenes.

The Grimm Brothers would be proud. This is not a retelling of Cinderella in the traditional HEA genre. I love that the Prince truly is charming and while his name is Callum it could’ve been Charming and no one would have batted an eye. Author A.L. Marrow really knows how to drag you by the hair into a story! I love stories like that. I was so engrossed I almost missed my stop.
Back to what I was saying about the Grimm Brothers being proud of A.L. Marrow. If you have ever read a Grimm Brothers fairy tale you know how gruesome they can be. This story reminds me of that when it introduces the trom-laighe.
Every character was well flushed out and gave you a sense of “knowing” them you don’t often get in books. Ashling is charismatic, witty, strong and beautiful. Even in the face of danger from her “family” and from the trom -laighe she rises to the challenge. Since reading her father’s journal she knows how to defeat these evil creatures when no one else does. The author doesn’t focus so much on the Step Mother/Step Sister aspect that is usually emphasized and instead centers the readers attention on the enchantment and the perplexing labyrinth of mysteries surrounding Glenblath.
*One thing I will note is that this book is not intended for children and has some very erotic M/M scenes.

A.L. Morrow has brought new light to the story of Cinderella, with Entwined. A dark and twisty romance that I could not put down! The world the author created was beautiful despite the darkness that threatens beyond the arc. Callum, the crown prince, is feeling the pressure to produce an heir to keep the arc protection from faltering and letting the darkness in. Married to the man he loves, Teague, it was decided a ball would be thrown on their anniversary to find a young lady to court and join them. Ashling, our Cinderella of the story, only defies her stepmother’s orders and goes to the ball because the darkness has broken the barrier and she has to warn someone. Little does she know that she has captured the attention of Prince Callum. The character development is flawless, I felt for these characters as if they were part of my inner circle. A.L. Morrow has an interesting series developing that I can’t wait till book 2!

This book was great new take on Cinderella and definitely not like another retelling. The author does a wonderful job of really pulling you into the story. I hadn’t read the description of the book because I’m a sucker for fairytale retelling so it was a surprise to me to find out the prince has a husband! Sad it leaves you on a cliffhanger but I can’t wait for the next book! Review by Autum TalamanteView all my reviews

What an amazing retelling of a cult classic. The twist with the MMF just elevates the story to new heights. This is definitely NOT a kids fairytale, ADULTS ONLY!!! This book is HOOOTTTT I feel that A.J. Morrow did the original justice with her take on Cinderella. Although there is no pumpkin it is absolutely amazing and the characters are superbly written with a storyline that grabs you until the end….. and what an end!!! Cliffhanger!!!!! I can’t wait for the next book.

This book was so fun to read! It is a very interesting and unique take on the Cinderella story. However, it is not what you think. There are plot twists and character development aspects one wouldn’t think to add to Cinderella. Read this book if you like imagination, creativity, and being surprised.

Morrow – Review by Kayla Octaviano
Entwined by A.L. Morrow, is a unique take on Cinderella. It is not recommended for children. It’s definitely an adult book. Although it had some of the classic tale’s traits, it encompassed a lot of new flair. The intimate scenes were somewhat intense. I fell in love with the Prince. Like the classic tale he has such a pure heart. On one hand the story was made more realistic. No pumpkin carriage, or fairy god mother making her dreams come true. I enjoyed how inclusive the story is of the LBGT community. This story touched upon loss, romance, courage, and survival. I cannot wait to start the sequel. I need to know how this story plays out.

5 Stars Entwined (Stone and Cinder Book 1) by A.L. Morrow
Entwined is the first book in the Stone and Cinder series by A.L. Marrow . I absolutely loved this retelling of the Classic Cinderella but with a twist. Going in I thought it was going to be much different than what we actually got. Let me just say I love the cover. This is a fast paced story packed with lots of goodness. There was no disturbing me while I devoured this book. I’m a huge fan of the Classics but this author blew me away with this book and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. O highly recommend reading this you wont be disappointed.

Entwined was a retelling of one of the world’s favorite fairy tales! It was well written and nothing that I expected. The story of Ashling and Prince Callum and the Duke Teague was fascinating and entertaining! The idea of dark things creeping in on our fairy tales was a wonderful twist! Highly reccomend!

A completely new retelling of an old tale and it was perfect! This is not the story of your youth so buckle up and get ready! Ashling (our Cinderella for this telling) has been raised on stories of monsters told to her by her now deceased father. The story really takes a new twist when Ashling decides to go to the ball put on by Prince Callum (Charming) and his husband who are in search of a mother to be for any future children they may have.
I loved the pace of this book and the characters. I will definitely be looking for more books by A.L. Morrow, she has piqued my interest.

Entwined: A MMF Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1) A.L. Morrow
This is an excellent retelling of a classic with a little bit of spice added in. This book has magic, an evil stepmother, danger, action, romance, some steamy moments and interesting characters. I found this story to be entertaining and original, I’m just sorry that it was such a quick read, I wanted more. I like how Ashling took charge when she realized the monsters were headed to the ball. I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to say that this is a must read. I am very interested to find out what the next book has in store for us.

Have to say I love reading the different ways authors convey the story of Cinderella. In this new series the author has blown me out of the water with their rendition. You will get drawn in fast and not wanting it to end as quick! Ashling, the leading character, is done with her evil stepmother and sisters! She is done with standing on the sidelines. This is one of my favorite retellings to date! Book 2 come out soon!

Morrow – Review by Stephanie Colley
Entwined by A.L. Morrow is the first book in her series entitled Stone and Cinder. It is a retelling of the Cinderella story like none before. It follows the common tale with a number of twists and expansions beyond the original story. The characters are diverse without betraying the stereotype of wicked step mother to an unfortunate girl. There is Prince Callum with his husband and Ashling who is the Cinderella of the story. A ball is to be held by the Prince and monsters lurking in the Kingdom outside.
This book was my first read by this author and I am looking forward to the next installment of Stone and Cinder. The books contains a combination of relationships m/m, m/f, and m/m/f so joy everyone may enjoy. I however fully enjoyed the story and would recommend it.

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.

Phew. If y’all thought you were getting a “normal” Cinderella retelling with Entwined- ya wrong! Because that’s what I thought I was getting and I’m so excited by what I got instead. I’m no stranger to MFM romances and this one is spicy and hot! My only complaint is I wish it was longer. I’m excited though because I know there’s more to the series! I really enjoyed the characters (Especially Ashling! What a great name!) The creatures were a great addition to the Cinderella story and I’m eager to see what else A. L. Morrow brings to this world! Check this book out- as long as you’re good with a little debauchery 😉

I really enjoy the fairy tale retellings so when I saw this book, I was really looking forward to reading it. Overall, I really enjoyed it, the author is new to me and I really liked their writing style. It was fun to read and very engaging. The whole story was multi-layered with so much detail and I would say its definitely for an adult audience due to the nature of the story. Whilst some scenes weren’t what I liked I quickly skimmed over them but I cannot fault the authors writing at all – it was beautifully written! I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this series and I highly recommend it.

Aishling Glasby is the daughter who has been left behind and who lives with her stepmother and stepsisters where she wiles away her days wishing her father would come back while also looking out for the things he taught her to see when nobody else would. Prince Callum is the only son of the King of but this brings responsibilities he and his husband would rather forget as it will impact on their future relationship as much as the kingdom that they will someday rule and it revolves around an heir.
It is just another day for Aishling catering to the whims of her step sisters as they order her around while she is trying to complete her chores, but today is not just any day, it is the day of the ball Prince Callum and his husband are throwing to celebrate their anniversary and all the women and girls from across the kingdom have been invited. As she is collecting something from the garden, she spots something by the arc barrier which shouldn’t be there, but she is soon distracted by her sisters again and thinks no more of it. Meanwhile, Prince Callum and his husband are preparing for the ball until their passion for each other wins out as usual, but once they are sated, they are ready to face the music despite how much it hurts the other.
As her family leave the house, Aishling is looking a the dress she had made wishing that she could attend too, however, she is distracted again when she looks outside and sees two creatures. They are testing the barrier and when one of the creatures passes through, she realises that the promise she swore to her father she would keep is about to become reality. Since her father left their homestead to chase the nightmare creatures which exist outside the barrier and whom drove him to madness, she has kept the belongings he created to fight them, so when she overhears them talking about attacking the palace, she knows what she must do. As Aishling makes her way there, Prince Callum is dancing with the guests and trying to comfort his husband, but when he sees Aishling he is intrigued and this continues as he speaks and dances with her, however when midnight strikes, so do the creatures.
Will Aishling and Prince Callum be able to defeat the creatures, or will they be torn apart before they can see what the future holds? This is a fairy-tale with a twist which keep you reading and engaged until the end as good fights evil to protect the lives of those around them.

Morrow – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1) is an absolutely amazing twist to one of my favorite childhood fairy tales of Cinderella. It’s the grown up version of Cinderella for the adult women. This was a quick and fast paced read if you are not one for long romance stories. This book does contain MMF super spicy romance between Ashling and two other characters without spoiling for anyone. It is an LGBTQ+ book written by an amazing author. This is one of my first reads of hers and I love it. Defiantly a bit of a cliffhanger. If you do not like that kind of writing then this would not be the book for you. The book plot line is still based upon Cinderella’s father’s passing and being forced to stay with her horrid step mother and mean step sisters. Obviously there is still a ball from there the rest is history. Ashling is a force to be messed with and her love for Prince Charming is something that is sexy and on fire. I am anxiously awaiting book number 2 to this series to see what happens next to Ashling, Prince Charming, The husband and the realm of Fantasy and Monsters etc.
What an inventive retelling of Cinderella. Ashling is a brave young woman who can jump right in there and fight monsters with the guys. Prince Callum and his husband, Teague, think she is the perfect candidate to carry their heir. Along the way, we have monsters, evil stepmonsters (oops, stepmothers) and a ball, along with a few other items. There is a bit of steam included for the romance fans (definitely 18+). I loved the well-written characters and detail. The original story with its little bits of unpredictability were fun and quite refreshing. I’m looking forward to Book 2 coming out in March 2022. Highly Recommend.

Entwined (Stone and Cinder Book 1) by A.L. Morrow. This book knocked me off my feet. I was expecting a sweet and tender retelling but what I got was not that at all! This book was full of secrets, debauchery, monsters and lust. Our Cinderella is Ashling and our Prince Charming is Prince Callum who are modern day prince and princess. Ashling is strong, independent and beautiful who in this retelling ends up taking care of Prince Callum. Ashling was left by her father when he wandered into the Winter Woods and was driven mad by the monsters there. She was left with her mean step mother and was left to fend for herself. When Prince Callum’s ball happens he is smitten with Ashling and he thinks she may be his Princess but will the monsters outside come into the Kingdom to destroy their happiness? Read this new telling of Cinderella to find out!

I gave this book 3 stars because it was not at all what I was expecting and not a genre I prefer, but not because of the book itself. The first chapter is a nice, easy read and then BAM. The second chapter completely caught me off guard, lol. The book is a very fast read and does parallel Cinderella very well. There are some themes that I personally choose not to read incorporated. The book is well written but I wish I was better prepared going into this book.

Author A.L Morrow took the story of Cinderella to a whole new level. A Disney classic meets the dark parts of Harry Potter so to speak. A twisted love story you will not expect. Ashling is our Cinderella and Prince Callum is the Prince on the white horse. Life is not as it seems and danger is awaiting the unexpecting Prince. Can Ashling keep the Prince safe? Will she be forever in her stepmother’s grasp? If you love Cinderella and want a more grown up version with lots of surprises, this is a must read.

My only complaint about this book is that……. it wasn’t long enough!! I can not wait to read part two!!! This is not your typical Cinderella book. This retelling is so different and fun and interesting and catching! It sucked me in!! I read it so fast that I was upset there wasn’t more for me to read right away. LOL. The Prince and his husband are searching for a woman to help bring an heir to their family and the realm. So what better way then to throw a huge ball and meet all the ladies in the kingdom right?

Morrow – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
Entwined is the first book in the Stone and Cinder series by A.L. Morrow. It is a captivating Cinderella retelling, with a bit of a twist. Ms. Morrow has taken the classic fairytale and given it a bit of a sexy shake up. This original story is full of fantasy, magic, romance, agendas, high stakes, chemistry, a menage- with M/M… M/F… & M/M/F, drama, and more. I don’t want to give too much away and spoil it for you, because if you love fairytale retellings with a sexy twist, then you are definitely going to want to read the story for yourself. This is a short story- which made for a very quick and easy read. It is told from multiple points of view, which made it all the more interesting. Bring on Book #2!

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling is my first read by A.L. Morrow. I enjoyed this quick read very much. Unlike other retellings of the classic, Entwined was unique and dark, and I appreciate the inclusiveness of the LGTBQ+ community. My only wish was that it did not end on a cliff-hanger! I will definitely be on the lookout for book two!

Entwined (Stone and Cinder Book 1) by A.L. Morrow was a beautiful retelling of a classic tale with several interesting twists and turns. The characters were very well described and while some things in this retelling are different, but she makes sure to leave enough the same that the reader will definitely know which classic we are retelling. Her scenery descriptions are wonderful, there are a few spicy scenes so I would definitely recommend to an older Group of people, but we are well earned in advance. There are several creatures, princes, a kingdom and so much more that will have you delving into this short novella, and leave you craving more.
