Billionaire Xander Callahan certainly seems to have it all. But a painful secret in his past keeps him from anything more than surface relationships. When a mystery woman captures his attention at his masquerade gala, Xander considers opening himself to love again--until she disappears.

After losing her father, Cynder Glass is stuck slaving under her ladder-climbing stepmother. When she sneaks into the masquerade gala she helped plan, Cynder is swept off her feet by their billionaire client. But if her stepmother finds out, she will lose her job and her chance to keep her father's legacy alive.

When his past and her identity are revealed, is there any chance for a happy ending?

Emma St. Clair's best book yet.

I'm a sucker for a Cinderella story, so I was excited to read this story. The story line was of course, predictable in it's more basic elements, yet it was unpredictable in so many ways. I was kept guessing throughout the book, wondering what direction the story was going to take. The dialogue was believable. Along with the complexity of the characters, this story truly came to life. I enjoyed the connection to another of her books, but it's still completely stand alone if you haven't read the other books in this series. It made for the perfect Christmas break reading.

Enjoyed this book

At first I was skeptical about the concept - not every book/movie that takes on the whole Cinderella concept always pulls it off but Emma succeeded with this novel. Some parts felt a bit slow in developing and adding to the overall story and that’s why I gave it 3 stars. I would however recommend this book if anyone is looking for a quick read.

A beautiful chance meeting

Cynder had been in a partnership with her father before he married and then died. She went from being a partner to a coffee fetcher. Then she snuck into a gala that her family was putting on for a billionaire who had started a charity. In trying to get away from her slimy step-brother, she ended up in the billionaire’s arms. And then things got complicated. Delightful read and I couldn’t put it down.

Fresh take on Cinderella

The Billionaire's Masquerade Ball features Cynder Glass, her step mother, 2 step sisters and step brother. Add a billionaire rather than a prince. Cynder is still grieving her father's death as she watches her step mother tear apart the event planning agency Cynder built with her father. This is an interesting story where the two main characters refuse to tell each other their true feelings. It is a well written, clean romance that captivated me from the first page.

A Delightful Book

A book that brings a smile and a tear of joy is always delightful. This is such a book. The story has a depth to it that satisfies and the characters are totally real and likable. Read and enjoy!
