Cinders Like Glass by Clarissa Kae
4.0
Cinders Like Glass was completely unputdownable. This was unlike any Cinderella retelling I have read and had me guessing the entire way through. Ada suffers from a stutter and as such fears she is at the mercy of her adoptive brother, a man who has been nothing but cruel to her. When the Duke of Girard closes in on Nicholas for his role in a plot against the crown, he threatens her to keep her quiet. But the Duke surprises himself with how much he grows to care for Lady Ada, becoming fiercely protective of her almost at the risk of his own investigation.
The push and pull between Ada and Girard was delightful. Ada has been cowed by her brother for so long but almost instinctually feels safe in Girard's presence. The tenderness he shows her as she opens up about her disability just about broke my heart. This book is whip smart and absolutely charming, there is no doubt I will be picking up the next one to see where how the story unfolds.
