A Bond of Broken Glass

The Severed Realms, Book 3

De: T.A. Lawrence

Narrado por: Angel Pean, Tim Sailer

The shoe fits, but she's no Cinderella.

Ellie knows what she wants in life: Open a glassblowing shop in the art district; See her father retire; Marry for love (if she can find someone who can keep up, that is).

Winning the fae prince's heart doesn't make the list. So, when Prince Evander throws a ball to find a human bride, Ellie respectfully declines. When she reads the morning paper and discovers the prince danced the night away with a mysterious stranger, only for the woman to flee at the stroke of midnight, Ellie can't help but laugh.

Until she learns the mystery girl left behind a glass slipper. Ellie's glass slipper. From the set that went missing from Ellie's workshop.

When the idiotic prince decides it's a good idea to use the slipper to identify the love of his life (because, you know, no two women could possibly share the same shoe size), Ellie doesn't hesitate to prove the slipper is hers. Little does she know there's been a modification to her work of art.

The prince may or may not have attached a fae bargain to the shoe, and when Ellie places it on her foot, she finds herself both legally and magically betrothed to the very prince she detests. Not that Prince Evander is thrilled about the situation, either. After all, he'd thought the shoe would only fit Cinderella.

Together, the unhappy couple must discover a way to break the fae bond, but there's danger along the way. After all, what's more dangerous than falling in love with someone whose heart belongs to another?

Hilarious and filled with witty banter, this not-so-retelling of Cinderella takes a fresh spin on the classic tale, pairing the dangerous politics of Alondria with the swoon-worthy chemistry of a romantic comedy. A Bond of Broken Glass is the third in the Severed Realms series of interconnected standalones, but you just might recognize a few faces along the way.

Can a glass slipper do that much?

The book keeps you on your toes. I like that it has a solid spin off of Cinderella but molds the story line into a different path. I really enjoyed this. This book will make you think one thing then BAM it is not what you expected. I suppose that’s how most good books are. They keep you clawing for more details. Who’s that person? Is someone lying? Is something going to blossom? Are they going to give in or keep pursuing their goals? How will it end? Depending on the format whether audio book or book, I had to rewind or reread certain areas cause I didn’t absorb the clues there at times. I hope you read this and enjoy it as much as I had.

Once again...

Beautifully written and narrated. All the tension, none of the cheap and crass scenes. Amazing love story and an ending that I thought I saw coming, but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't. I can't wait for the others to show up on Audible. Please hurry.

Great Series

This series is amazing one of my all time favorites!!! Can't wait for next book!

Another great story!

I again really loved the concept and the twists on a classic. The narration was very well done and I loved the characters. My only thing I didn’t like as much was just how unforgiving Ellie’s character was. I understand her motivations but she could be very mean. It made it difficult for me to be on her side sometimes.

Slow start but once…

The story kicks in, it’s very engaging. Left me wanting more, with so many ends to be resolved. Next book?

Plotttttt

Loved it, absolutely captivating. I was completely immersed in the world and characters cant wait to read next book

Old story, somewhat new twist

If I had known it was about an old fairy tale I would never have sent the credit that i covet!
