Cinderella #3
The Glass Slipper
Betraying the most powerful man in New York wasn’t something I ever envisioned when I first started playing games with Winston Constantine. But he’s engaged in far more dangerous games than ours, and his enemies are out for blood.
Winston has my heart, the Morellis have incriminating photos, and I’m left with nothing except three stepbrothers who want to hurt me and a future in doubt. I knew Winston wouldn’t be my prince charming, but that didn’t stop me from falling for him.
After all, the slippers fit, and I let myself believe I’d be dancing with Winston forever.
Until too much truth comes to light.
Until I realize instead of ruling the board, I was just a pawn.
In the end, I have only one question. When his game with me is over, will I be able to pretend as if the glass slipper wasn’t a perfect fit?

“I’ll let you say filthy, rude things to me while you fuck me if we can get ice cream after this.”
I shed the rest of my clothes and pounce on her. “Deal, my little fuck toy.” I smack her hand away to take over rubbing her pretty pussy. “This needy clit belongs to me. I paid for it long ago. You say girlfriend, I say whore.”
Her fingers thread into my hair and she pulls me to her for a kiss. I coax moans out of her with each rub against her clit. She squirms, trying to spread her legs to urge me inside of her.
“Greedy fucking girl.” I deny her what she wants, whispering kisses over her parted lips.
“Your pussy is so wet. Probably from dreaming about me calling you names like slut and come gobbler.” She snorts out a laugh. “Win!”
I bite her lip. “Hmm?”
“You’re so nasty.”
Any other words she tries to speak are stolen when I pinch her clit and roll it between my fingers. It only takes a few times of this before she’s jolting with an orgasm. I waste no time jerking her thighs apart and lining the tip of my cock against her slickness. She screams when I drive into her with a hard thrust. I fuck her hard—much longer than forty goddamn seconds, thank you very much—until she’s a trembling mess beneath me. With a contented sigh, I release inside her, filling her with hot come.
THIS BOOK!!! Fuck. Yes. Winston Constantine is EVERYTHING and more!!!!! I adored this conclusion to Winston and Ash's love story! It was everything I hoped for and more! I was so sad to see it end. AND THAT EPILOGUE WAS PERFECTION!! Ahhh, I loved everything about this book! One of my fave stories in the Midnight Dynasty collection! If you haven't read this story you MUST!

4 Stars!
... A so so so hot read.
After that disappointing experience I had with the second book, I'm glad I gave this series another chance. Just a recap of my previous review; I didn't like Prince Charming because of the too repetitious and tedious storyline. The subplots were overwhelming, I could not keep up. Getting into this book, I finally took a breather from the seemingly endless conflicts about the Morellis, Mannfords, Meredith, Manda, and so on. I don't give a shit about what happened between those messy fuckers because I was here purely and simply for Winston and Ash. I've mentioned it on my last review that I needed development with their relationship. And yes, there was a plausible development between them in this installment. I just wished we were provided a few more chapters of them as a couple after that last conflict before moving on to the epilogue.
Note: This is an age gap, forbidden romance.
The Glass Slipper is the third book in the Cinderella series.
That being said, this book was a good conclusion to this series. I've already said it in my first review, but I'll say it again. This series is a combination of ridiculousness, weirdness, dirtiness, kinkiness, and hotness that I really like. If you kinda hate these things in your precious books, I think it's better to steer clear of this series.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. The writing style gave the story a playful and intense mood that was suitable to the personality of the characters. The storyline was interesting but at times quite tiring because of the unnecessary dramas. Nevertheless, it was a great read, all in all. If you love easy taboo reads with a little kink and BDSM, this is written just for you.
I recommend this series to those who likes: K. Webster, forbidden, age gap, billionaire, taboo, erotic, and a happily ever after.

“Win, are we good?” A wicked grin tugs at one corner of his lips.
“No, baby, we’re not good. That’s not who we are. We’re bad, but don’t worry, we’re really, really good at it.”

Re-read 3/28-3/29
Slower than I remembered. While I enjoyed all of the twists and turns I missed all that sweet sweet degradation smut. Plus I hate when mommy and daddy are fighting.
Original review 4/19-4/20/21
Perry really is her fairy god mother and Jiminy Cricket combined. I think I love him just as much. Really I love all the Constantines, even Caroline. Most definitely team Constantine.
I forgot to mention it in my previous review, but can we discuss Win and Shrimp? If that’s not the most adorable situation ever than you’re dead inside.
Case in point;
“A flash of pink divebombs me, screeching angrily. Shrimp lands on my shoulder, chirping all sorts of bitchy birdie nonsense in my ear. “It’s her fault,” I explain, reaching up to stroke his tiny head. “Don’t worry, I punished her earlier.”
😻🦜 btw way cuter than the birds and Sully in the Goddess Isles series. Fuck that guy!
You know I read a lot of age-gaps and yeah I can appreciate when the h is mature for her age. But sometimes, if done right, why not just let an 18 year old act like an 18 year old. And better yet, for a nice change let’s bring the H down to her level. Kristi did a fantastic job of making Win both a domineering, brutal leader and what Ash made him; lighthearted, fun and ornery.
One by one puzzle pieces fell into place creating an intricate beautiful picture.
The epilogue was adorable and I’ve never been more sad to see a book end. I’m really gonna miss them.
“I think they call this a filthy fucking happily ever after.”

The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: ❤️💙💜💛❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📙📕📗📙
World building: 🌎🌏🌍🌎🌍
Character development: 😌🤓😤😳🤯
The heroine: Ash Elliot (a.k.a. Cinderelliot) - Ash was a maid in the building where Win is the CEO of the Company. She has been harassed by Leo Morelli for weeks and hasn’t told Winston.
The Hero(es): Winston Constantine (a.k.a. Win) - Win and his family have many enemies, but mainly the Morelli’s whom he thinks may have murdered his father.
The Love Story: Win likes his Kink and has been paying Ash for all sorts of kinky acts. Ash has now got more than enough money to go to college plus a bunch of extras, like a car and a yacht. Though she has fallen in love with Win, and he won’t admit to having any feelings for her.
There is a lot to love about this book and the entire series. For starters though Ash is only eighteen, she is a strong and intelligent character. She is extremely likable and she makes Winston more likable because of his reactions to her quirky character. He has these inner thoughts like a devil on his shoulder about how she is not his girlfriend and how he isn’t falling for her and more, then he also has this angel on his other shoulder that calls him a liar every time he thinks that way.
Another thing that was great about the book was Ash’s relationship with Perry Constantine, who is Winston’s brother. Perry and Ash became fast friends when they first met and he is quite a character as well. Their banter and the way he is there for her is terrific.
I also enjoyed the steamy scenes and the fact that Win and Ash are quite kinky and both of them own it. Sure Win is paying her to do things and it could seem a bit like prostitution, but to them it is a game. Throughout the series Ash gives him money back for things that show his affection to her.
Another thing I just love in books is when one or both of the protagonists has a pet. I love animals and they just add something to the world building. Ash has a bird named Shrimp, and though I am not familiar with birds, I just love it when there is a pet with a personality to add to the story. Though since she leaves his cage open, I kept wondering if he uses his cage as a bathroom or if bird poo is all over, but I googled it and I guess you can cage train birds. So that calmed my nerves with regard to that situation.
The one thing I didn’t like about this book was the fact that Winston is 37 and Ash is 18, it wasn’t so much the age gap that bothered me (though I think that was a bit too much of a gap. I would have liked it better if he was 34 and she 20. The thing that bothered me was that they kept making a joke of the fact that she was still a teenager. She also kept calling him old man. All the joking about it just made it seem like it bothered them a lot more than the pretended and the joking made it seem all the more depraved, but not in a good way. Though this only took a small amount off my story points.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

In this fairy tale, he catches his princess and does very, very filthy things to her.
Highly recommended for an entertaining, OTT sexual retelling of Cinderella - complete with a pumpkin orange muscle car, Perry the “godmother” and lots of other Easter eggs hidden within the series.
✔️Erotic humiliation
✔️Age gap (18/36)
✔️Daddy kink
✔️Lite D/s
✔️Excellent banter and snark
My heart beats wildly for her, and I don’t know that I’ll be able to stop it now that she’s shocked it to life like a goddamn defibrillator.Ends with the most perfect storybook HEA!
Books must be read in order, not a standalone!
*Zero desire to read the three step brother’s books after the way they assaulted her repeatedly in these stories

Glass Slipper is the conclusion to Ash and Winston's story. I was very nervous about how the last book was going to unfold, and if I would be disappointed, K.Webster put my mind at ease and delivered a phenomenal book.
Ash has come a long way from the slacking office cleaner who left a trail of starburst wrappers to what she is in now a force and can match Winston toe to toe. And Winston, I thought his mother is calculating. Move over Caroline, Winston steps it up, takes it to the extreme, and handles it with ease. I LOVE IT!!!!!! He always delivers when they least expect it and have curveballs galore while never showing his cards.
Winston and Ash are still up to their kinky games, and holy hell, it's still hot as ever. I love how she brought out a different side of him. So swoon-worthy. Many secrets, lies, betrayal, and revenge will be revealed. I was seriously sucked into their world and loved every minute of it. Glass Slipper checks off all my boxes, and I hope to see Perry have a book in the future.

Me: trilogies suck, why can't authors just write 1 book? Boo! 🚫👎
Also me: keeps reading trilogies because I'm a sucker 💸💸💸
This was actually a fun and really hot trilogy for sure and I did enjoy it but I still stand by the fact that it really could have just been the 1 book. There wasn't THAT much plot that it needed so many pages but hey, I still read it all and enjoyed it so I'm clearly confused AF about my own stance on trilogies 🤷
If you've got money to burn (I don't and don't tell my husband) and want a hot AF Cinderella retelling with a kinky twist then I highly recommend.
This confusing review was brought to you by lack of sleep, the flu and not enough coffee.

I loooove finding a new series to binge. I finished this trilogy in about 2-3 days. I couldn’t stop reading! It was hot and kinky and the chemistry was fire. If you want a dirty Cinderella retelling with a filthy rich hero and an age gap, read this series! It’s slightly mafia adjacent too.
I know K. Webster is planning on writing a romance for the terror triplets and ngl I’m terrified of what kind of romance that will be. But I’m still reading it!

Genre: Dark Romance
Type: Book 3 of 3 from Cinderella trilogy
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
4.25 Stars
Ash Elliott knew firsthand the consequences of betraying a Constantine. When a scandal broke out, she was forced to face more than she could handle. Winston Constantine could turn out to be her savior or the one leading to her doom.
Ash might have messed up, but I liked how she was determined to fix it. I loved how even though Winston's emotions evolved he stayed true to himself. They were a perfect pairing to complement each other.
I enjoyed the overall storyline, though I have to say I wish there were answers to some of the unresolved questions I have. Perry and Shrimp amused me. They added heart and comic relief to the dark, sexy story.
The Glass Slipper is the conclusion of the Cinderella trilogy. This series would appeal to readers who enjoy a dark and kinky fairytale retelling.

I still stand firm on my opinion that this book has too many unnecessary conflicts in them. The Morelli side plot? Unnecessary. The Mannford side plot? Unnecessary. The triplets? Okay for the first book but in the last one, unnecessary. (It might be necessary to build up for another book series, but unnecessary in term of this couple.)
I still like it though. I still freaking love these two relationship-but-not-a-relationship antics. I still love the possessiveness of the hero and the mental strength of the heroine. I still love the Constantine clan. These things could be put in more if we could remove those pesky side plots that went nowhere as in inconsequential for the growth of the MCs.
So yeah. The whole series was a bit of a let down but quite enjoyable nonetheless.

This last instalment of Cinderella was amazing. It was fast paced with mystery elements that added to the entertainment, the writing was really good and the ending very satisfying.
Winston definitely found his match in Ashley. I enjoyed this series a lot but this last book is my favorite of the three.

This book picks off right from where it ended in the previous. The thing that I liked most about this book was that it had some plot and that just because the main characters had feelings for each other they didn't immediately throw themselves at each other. I was totally expecting that plus no plot 😅 glad that didn't happen and as usual this book was steamy🔥
Let's take a moment and appreciate all Winston's relationships. I seriously enjoyed reading about Winston and the-bird-who's-name-I-forgothaha kill me now, it was the highlight of the book and so was the Winston's and his brother's (Perry) relationship and well also the whole CoNstAnTiNe FaMiLy.
Overall this series is pretty enjoyable and steamy for that matter 🥵 I totally recommend this series. Hope you guys enjoy it!

3.5 ⭐
The finale book in this trilogy and it was everything I wanted!!! And my finale rating for this whole series is a 3.5
I'll be honest I was scared how Winston would react when he found out Ashs secert keeping and thank God he wasn't fully a dick lol then he normally is but he did put back up a wall around himself and was more dickish around her and playing his long game taking down their enemies left and right. But my girl ASH WAS BOMB DOT COM!!! she took every cruel sneer, tongue lashing and showed her man she made a mistake but she wasn't giving up on them. I love how the brother was always Team Ash and made sure his brother saw he was a dick 🤣🤣.
With tension there still more twist and turns and secerts coming undone but boy those two still have that sizzling spark.. I love they finally got there happy ending.

Edit To Come
This book was incredible!
This whole trilogy is exactly what I needed, even been an age gap (one of my least favorite tropes), those books didn't disappointed at all!
Glass Slipper pick up exactly where Prince Charming ended, and it's super fast paced!
I love that! No bullshit. No fillers, and every open plot was answered and solved.
I've read K Webster before, and I'm happy to say that this woman can write anything! This Trilogy is now my favorite!
Winston Constantine can degradate me anyway, anytime at any day he wants! This man is an iron package of hotness on the outside, but with delicious and sweet red gummy bears on the inside!
And I'm happy to say that I liked Ash too! YESSSSS! She was sassy and feisty and she gave it as much as she took it from him! They're a true match!
Her friendship with Perry is another positive point... He's a sweetheart and I'm here for his book too
Their banter, their messages, their exchanges are still my favorite part of this Trilogy, along with the sex, that is still amazing and hot as hell!
I highly recommend this trilogy!
Thanks to my bae Darija for gifting me them, and insisting daily for me to read it! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️.
Sorry it took me so long!
Winny is everything!

Definitely my favorite book of the trilogy and I'm low-key loving this Midnight Dynasty world.
I loved seeing Winston's softer side, even when he tries to hide it, and the relationship dynamics between the two of them are the best. It's less bdsm-y/degradation and more about the dynamics and them two being together and realizing feelings. Also, the plot finally gets a move on, so no more dragging thankfully.

In this final book of trilogy, Ash Elliot is determined to overcome her betrayal to Winston Constantine. With various threats at bay, Winston remains at the top of his game and is positioned to secure all under his family’s name. But when it comes to his Cinderelliott, Winston’s impenetrable walls may crumble just a bit.
Narrated in dual POV, the constant combustible dynamic between Ash and Winston is ever present. Adding to the plot tension are secrets that drive the trajectory and lead to consequences. As Ash professed to be #TeamConstantine, her unyielding loyalty shows her maturity, yet her playful side also rounds out Winston.
I must say, Winston ticked all my boxes and I liked how the author maintained his frosty edge while showing he is capable of some change. Ash was refreshing and her ability to tempt and provoke Winston was entertaining on many levels. Of course, Perry made me laugh and he proved his worth. Lastly, Shrimp added a lovable quality to the story too.
The Glass Slipper is a dark and erotic fairytale retelling sure to sate.

The final book in the Winston & Ash trilogy is mind blowing. So much is happening but I still need more.
Ash has made a mess, bigtime and she knows she'll have to convince Winston that she did not betrayed him. Luckily she managed to make Winston see that she is not the backstabber.
“No, baby, we’re not good. That’s not who we are. We’re bad, but don’t worry, we’re really, really good at it.”
The thrilling story unravels with some unexpected twists and turns, shocking and life threatening events.
I keep holding out hope that there will be a, maybe multi author, epilogue tying all the different stories together.
Books in the Cinderella Series, must be read in order:
Read Win & Ash's Happily Ever After
September 30, 2021
The finale of the series. Mysteries are solved and hints of more come to light. Win is just too much. I love how he loves Ash so much and how she never loses faith in him.
Awesome finale!
Awesome finale!

Safety gang:
- Age gap (H 36 & h 18)
- No cheating / no sharing
- No OM/OW drama
- Humiliation and degradation
- Sexual & physical assault (not by H)
- Death & talks of suicide
- HEA (married with 3 kids)
Well, that was an ending I was not expecting. Immediately after finishing book 2, I jumped and started book 3 and stayed up late just to finish it in one sitting.
To find out that the real villain behind almost everything were 3 bands of idiots – priceless.
Nate was sketchy in my eyes from the beginning, I couldn’t put my finger on it as to why he was being the way he was, but I had a feeling it had to do with money, but the extent is surprising.
Meredith, Manda, and him all conspired for years to steal money from Winston. Nate had been in love with Meredith since they were kids, but she always chose Winston and lied to Nate about her feelings when it was necessary for her, she married someone else, so they weren’t obvious in their schemes. What a shitty friend – all because he was jealous of his last name? Meredith dicked him around and he blamed the guy who has been his best friend and barely even was with her in his TEENAGE years about how his life turned out? Meredith killing him sealed the fact she never loved him.
I hate and I mean this in the worst way HATE Ash’s father. He chose his new wife over his own flesh and blood. He chose to LIE about her inheritance, claiming it was his right to have it, claims that his daughter is being selfish and lying about all the allegations (which it’s not since there is a massive amount of evidence and she is being convicted. I am appalled by his behavior and it saddens me that he didn’t step up. Even after the scandal came out he seemed kind and then switched up real fast to choose his step-sons and wife over his own child. I was confused at that moment until the inheritance scheme was revealed and I knew he was as money hungry as they come.
We don’t really get an answer as to WHO killed her mom since it’s being hinted that she was killed, and it was possibly Manda. The triplets were probably forced by their mother to act the way they did with Ash and somehow get one of them to marry her so they could get her inheritance cause it all was hush hush from Ash herself that she even had one – or that in order to get it she had to marry a Morelli and guess whose father is a Morelli? The triplets. Vincent is the uncle of Leo/Lucian.
There is a lot of unanswered questions: Did she get the inheritance? How much was it? Who killed Lane (H’s dad)? Who killed Maggie (h’s mom)? Why is her dad such a piece of shit and is Manda really worth it? How many years of prison time did they get? I am assuming some of these questions will be answered throughout the other books in this world.

Oh, she's a gold digger.
*ARC READ*
Man, book 2 wasn't my cup of tea. I will admit it! I get y'all love Win, but I just felt sorry for Ash. BUT DAMN, BOOK 3 wrapped it all up nicely. Ash and Win had a tumultuous relationship, and in book 3, they finally reach THAT point. Their growth shows here! The family rivalries are as strong as ever, and the twists are bloody unpredictable! I didn't even think this would be how things ended. Don't worry. Our favorite spicy couple remains bad. SUPER BAD. Steamy as always. K. Web did her thing again. I can't wait for Leo's story to unfold in Amelia Wilde's trilogy!

THE FROG BECOMES A PRINCE AND CINDERELLA RESCUES HERSELF -- SORT OF
**3.75 stars**
“In this fairytale, he catches the princess and does very, very filthy things to her.”
If the glass slipper fits … I ended up loving this wack job couple and their twisted fairytale from the romance angle. Winston was no prince in the first book. He turned me off, and Ash was too much of a lovestruck, insta-love pushover. The fairytale seemed unrecoverable, but then I was charmed by the second book and their slowly disarming romance. Cold and cruel Winston finally caught feelings in constant denial, and their transactional relationship transformed into a cute partnership, complete with smexy times and a tiny little guard bird named Shrimp. He and that bird were priceless. I laughed, swooned, and fist-pumped at the gradual thawing of Winston’s heart, while Ash’s spirited sass kept him on his toes and always coming back for more. She read him like she wrote the manual, and he was defenseless against her spunk. How masterfully she sweetly played the long game of true love and taught him things about himself with confidence and certainty that only an unjaded 18 year old could. She always knew what he tried to deny. Nothing has tickled me as much as the “whore apartment” and Ash spinning it around to use against Winston. Twisted fairytales are the best kind.
Winston was a such a lovably sarcastic and grumpy bastard. Their snark was a hoot -- funny or dramatic. What could be better than a villainous prince, a sassy Cinderella, and a cutesy bird?
“The girl who stormed into my world leaving a trail of Starburst wrappers, pink feathers, and a whole lot of fucking attitude.”
After that cliffy in Prince Charming, I expected some real fireworks and drama from all the betrayals, but the plot never really got off the ground after 3 books' worth of buildup. All that stuff about her dad and evil stepmother, and the terror triplets was compounded by Winston’s business rivalry with another family, but it ended up all tell and no show. It’s a problem for me when a trilogy stretches a story beyond its limits in a disappointing payoff. There were some interesting surprise twists for Ash, her family and Winston. Only wish they’d been better developed instead of rushing it all at the end.
The romance by itself was the best part with Winston dragging his feet to love, and Ash propping him up all the way. There was poetic justice to Ash’s untraditional damsel in distress role and end rescue with a twist that added to her independence. Who cares who rescues whom or how it happens? It shouldn’t have been a trilogy and the end drama was hokey, but I loved their romance. And that epilogue was a sweet slice of the future for the charmed couple.
“We’re not good. That’s not who we are. We’re bad, but don’t worry, we’re really really good at it.”

4.5⭐️
Book 3 of a Trilogy. Must read Stroke of Midnight and Prince Charming first.
Book 3 picks up exactly where the previous book left off.
“Maybe our story isn’t one of princes and princesses and happily ever afters. Maybe ours is a wickedly hot villain and a filthy maid who are happy for now.”
**Recap:**
- Who is the Hero? Winston Constantine (age: 36).
- Who is the Heroine? Ash Ember Elliott. (age: 18).
- The Story Ash (Cinderelliot) was a maid (for about a minute) and now gets paid by Winston (not your average Prince Charming) for kinky stuff. She has evil step brothers that she refers to as the Terror Triplets.
At the end of book one, the brothers destroyed her “Cinderella” party dress, took all her money, took possession of all her “dirty /kinky” photos and videos and put her in a position where she was forced to make a deal with Prince Charming’s enemy. At the end of book two Ash’s association with the enemy was revealed.
Winston is not quick to forgive in book 3 and all the progress they made toward something “more” has been erased because of the secret Ash kept. Plus, Leo (the enemy) has a scandalous sex tape in his possession and isn’t afraid to use it. But, it might not have the impact he imagined.
~ “There probably won’t ever be another sex scandal to outperform this one. I’m a Constantine. We go big or go home.”
** The following are my thoughts about this book: **
* * Their banter kicked up another good notch in this book. Ash knew what she wanted and she knew that deep down Winston wanted it too. She just had to get him to admit it. Their “outside of the bedroom” dynamic continued to evolve throughout the series and I really liked where they ended up.
~ “Things are changing.
I’m beginning to accept that Ash is a formidable opponent.”
* * Ash was strong and I was glad to see that she held her head high in the face of public scrutiny.
* * Winston’s attachment to Shrimp was a little heart melting. I love when an an animal can steal a scene or two.
* * I thought this book had more of a plot than book 2. There was more than just kink with this one. The plot had a few things I predicted, a few things that were surprising. To some extent, I felt like it was all saved up for this book but maybe could have been used in the previous book to give that one more meat.
* * Perry…. When he was introduced in book one, I thought he was going to be a pathetic character. But by book three, I really liked him and I liked the relationship between him and Ash.
* * the Terror brothers…..that was a little brutal, but I can’t say I’m sorry for what they suffered.
* * Ash’s father disappointed me. I’m glad she had Winston‘s family for support.
* * Not all the secrets were revealed. This resolved for Winston and Ash, but the mother is hiding something and it sounds like that might come out in a different book.
**Quotes**
“Ignore Perry. He’s found the stick that was in his big brother’s ass and decided to sit on it.”
“Caroline, in a leather armchair, is no longer wearing her smart suit but has changed into what must be considered casual for her—a rose gold velour tracksuit. It’s such an old lady thing to wear but of course she looks like a million bucks. Not a billion because, well, it’s a tracksuit.”
“I try not to admire her fiery determination or the sexy way her lips quirk into a knowing grin or how fucking hot she is in her take-no-shit outfit.
I also fail.
Miserably.”
“How does one have Winston Constantine and ever go back to life as it was?
The answer is you can’t.”

* * Perry…. When he was introduced in book one, I thought he was going to be a pathetic character. But by book three, I really liked him and I liked the relationship between him and Ash.
* * the Terror brothers…..that was a little brutal, but I can’t say I’m sorry for what they suffered.
* * Ash’s father disappointed me. I’m glad she had Winston‘s family for support.
* * Not all the secrets were revealed. This resolved for Winston and Ash, but the mother is hiding something and it sounds like that might come out in a different book.
**Quotes**
“Ignore Perry. He’s found the stick that was in his big brother’s ass and decided to sit on it.”
“Caroline, in a leather armchair, is no longer wearing her smart suit but has changed into what must be considered casual for her—a rose gold velour tracksuit. It’s such an old lady thing to wear but of course she looks like a million bucks. Not a billion because, well, it’s a tracksuit.”
“I try not to admire her fiery determination or the sexy way her lips quirk into a knowing grin or how fucking hot she is in her take-no-shit outfit.
I also fail.
Miserably.”
“How does one have Winston Constantine and ever go back to life as it was?
The answer is you can’t.”

Absolutely brilliant!!
I’ve never really been a fan of fairy tale retellings until I gave in one day a few years ago and read one written by one of my favorite authors and it opened my eyes to the endless possibilities! I’ve read quite a few in the last couple of years but none of them even come close to this delicious #kinkyfuckery! Not gonna lie, I’m a slut for #kinkyfuckery, the kinky gritty dirtier, the better. #sorrynotsorry LOL Kristi out did herself this time. It was absolutely perfect in my eyes. The story rounded out epically, the twist had turns that twisted and the debauchery made not only my panties melt but my insides turn to fire as well! GAWD, these two!
My favorite and most captivating aspect of this story was the spin into crime family drama the story had. It added a layer of edginess to the story. The criminal underworld aspect added gripping plot points that kept me on my toes. It wasn’t just Ash and Winston that had me glued, but also the storyline outside of their journey. This entire trilogy is a crazy whirlwind of unexpected turns that will sweep you right into its vortex and have you deliriously spinning for hours on end, and you will love it! #trust

A great ending! There is a lot of loose ends in this book, but it’s because there are books about the morellis and constentines by other authors. I kinda want to reread lessons in sin to catch the references to Tinsleys family 😂 but Winston is very cold and mean, trying to keep himself distant from Ash but she is clearly the most important thing in his life. Them plotting to get back at all the people screwing with them was interesting and satisfying and I enjoyed seeing Winston just be happy in the end. A great series if you love billionaire romances!
