She’s got it all under control...
As a project manager in a large consulting firm, Ellie Hudson is used to controlling every aspect of her life. It’s worked so well that she’s succeeded in a firm known for its “glass ceiling.”
Until she doesn’t...
When long-time boyfriend, Noah, surprises Ellie with a Valentine’s Day proposal at the same time as a huge promotion looms, she’s rattled. If she says “yes” to Noah, her boss will consider it a “no” to taking her career to the next level.
When everything starts to unravel...
Ruthless rival, Baxter Thorpe, captures Ellie’s first professional misstep on film. It’s a perfectly innocent kiss, but it won’t look that way to the company... or to Noah. Baxter starts spreading the word, setting off a chain reaction that Ellie seems powerless to stop.
The only thing left is magic...
With an ever-expanding web of cracks threatening to shatter everything she holds dear, Ellie throws common sense to the winds and buys a vial of “Wonder Glass.” Can this so-called magic potion deliver on its promise and put her life back together again?

About the author
Yvonne Collins
29 books81 followersWhen I'm not writing books with Sandy, I can usually be found on a film set, where life is anything but dull. I've hung off the side of Toronto's CN tower, faced down a Grizzly bear, danced with Gregory Hines, and shared a beer with Ireland's Lord Guinness.
In 2003, Panavision Canada recognized my camera skills with the coveted Woody Award. It's an honor. Really.
And to think I almost became a cop. Fortunately for the citizens of Toronto, I flunked the psychological profile. Then, there was my brief stint as a bank manager, but I don't want to dwell on that.
Better to dwell on the restaurant job where I met the man who became my husband. I was the bartender; he was the busboy. It's still a perfect match: I get to call the "shots" and he cleans up after me. More importantly, he cleans up after our schnauzer, whom we affectionately describe as a four-bagger (Note: Dog-owners, you know what I'm talking about here).
I am a tea granny and a home dècor magazine junkie. I play the piano, although I don't own one. I own two guitars, although I don't play them. I sing to my dog, wear fleece even in summer, and never miss an episode of Coronation Street.
I could go on, but my tea is cold. And let's face it, you probably stopped reading after I mentioned the Woody Award.

Ellis Hudson was on the fast track(???) for partnership. Not exactly fast considering she had been working towards the goal for 15 years. But her mentor had assured her if she did the 6 month stint in Australia, she would be the next partner. The day before the announcement she is blindsided by a public marriage proposal from the love in her life. But the fact is she wanted to make partner first. The day of the Partner's Meeting couldn't go worse. Hung over, no partnership in sight, she is forced into accepting project director for the upcoming post office project. It is totally unfair. The next day is Valentine's Day and driving to work hung over she discovers a chip in her windshield is getting worse. She stops to get it fixed but it may be too late...although a bottle of a magical Wonder Glass may be able to fix everything.
A sweet story with many moments of surprises (good and bad) and a whole lot of hope for the future!

I really had fun with this story but I really wish the author had taken the time to make it more. The premise was outstanding and even the buildup and the characters. It's a sweet read about a lady who learns what's important. The fact that there's some magic and jealousy, and silliness and even a tug on the heartstrings just make it better. The thing that hurts is that it's too short to take advantage of the things that make would it a great story.
I haven't read this author before but I did enjoy her style and would love. If you are a lover of sweet and short you will enjoy her as well.

Ellie is having a bad few days. Can a vial of “Wonder Glass" make her life shatterproof? Loved Noah. A romance, a misunderstanding, pressure, sabotage and a little magic.

Cute romance book with just a little bit of magic. Read it in one evening.

This book, actually more like a novella, was a fluff (and sweet--no sexual situations) romance. There were some good elements in the story including an interesting heroine and a great "villian" in her corporate job, but there ended up being no depth. While it was a quick and easy read, the inclusion of several subplots meant that there was no time to develop any of them. I ended up being disappointed at the end because the story seemed like it had so much potential. This book gets 2 stars instead of just 1 because the writing style was good, not distracting, and because of the interesting story.
