Description

The Cinderella hour. The midnight chime of magic, fairy tales, and love. An enchanted hour for those who dare . . .

Sixteen years ago, Snow Ashley Gable fled Chicago, running away from the kind of loss that comes with love—and from a friendship that turned into betrayal. Now she is coming home, bringing her successful late-night radio talk show, "The Cinderella Hour," to the Windy City.

There are risks for Snow in returning home—risks and fears. The father she never knew. The mother who indulged in dangerous fantasies. The high school heiress who uncovered her greatest secret. And above all, most of all, there is Lucas Kilcannon, the troubled boy she loved, will always love.

Luke has never forgotten Snow or the love they shared. His fury that she ran away from their love, without warning or explanation, still burns deep and bright. He wants to know why Snow fled, and he intends to find out. He plans to see her, confront her, and insist that she tell him the truth.

But it’s a truth Snow doesn’t fully know—not yet—for there are aching secrets that have been in hiding, all these years, even from her.

    Hard to get into and I read a lot. I finished the book but felt it drug on in several chapters, I really wanted to love this book but I just couldn’t get attached to a character enough to stay invested. Drawn out story with rushed ending, overall unsatisfying-unfortunately.

    Horrible! Rambling, disjointed story. So hard to follow that I stopped reading and deleted it.

    Beautifully written. Could not put it down. Read it in one day and worked that day. Read on breaks and lunch. Could not wait to get home to finish. A must read.
  • Good but confusing

    Very confusing, switches POV often and introduces character with no explanation. There are times where it’s it a very good read though and you can really feel for some of the characters and that’s it’s redeeming quality.
  • Very enjoyable read

    What a wonderful intriguing book. Katherine Stone, the author, created such vivid characters, their personalities and suspenseful drama that you will not put the book down until you have read the last page. There was one main love story in addition to three sub love stories. I hated to see this book end. I will be seeking more of Katherine's books. She really you feel so much with her writing.

    Do not waste your time. It is/was depressing, confusing, and boring. I have read thousands of books and have never read one that had well over 117 pages in the fore word.

    I couldn’t follow the story. It was very confusing and hard to keep track of what story I was reading as it seemed to change every chapter.
