I absolutely LOVED this book. How awesome is it when a book truly makes one want to believe in the power of true love and magic. The characters are warm and heartfelt and the story is magical and enchanting. Although at times I might have found myself a bit frustrated with Eileen's blinders in regards to her boss, that was easy to overlook in the context of the whole story. It's a true Cinderella story, including the evil step-sister/mother and all!!! :)

This book is Magical by Gina Harlan

I read about 10 to 15 books a year, but it has been over 15 years since I read a romance novel. I believed that they just didn't do it for me. While reading the recommended book, Glass-slipper.com, I expected to read a chapter and then put it on the shelf with all the other half-read romance novels, but something different happened this time. It was like a spell came over me and I couldn't stop until it was finished. Since I read so many books, I know good writing, but Ms. Anderson has a style that captures not just my love for good writing, but there is something magical in her words. Maybe this story is considered a Modern-Day Cinderella story with the expected happy ending that will stir emotion in anyone, but the message is written between the lines. Rebecca Anderson possesses something that is magical, almost like she is channeling the greatest writers of our time, as well as the Wizards and Fairy God Mothers of lore. As I finished the book, I not only got a wonderful story to remember, but I received a strong message that will last a life time. When I read the last word, it was like losing a good friend, but lucky me, I have her next book on my night stand. Half way into the first chapter, I've been mesmerized again. I think Ms. Rebecca is more than just a good author and storyteller. I believe she is gifted with some of the qualities of the "Grantor" across the courtyard. She has a way of speaking to us mere mortals that gives us hope for our own lives. All we have to be is open and willing. Her books have more than a fun story to read (which should be a movie by the way). There are some life-changing messages that will help to spin you into the ether of life. If you allow the words to penetrate your mind, your heart will feel like it's been given a new lease on life. Ms. Anderson, please don't ever stop writing. You have a gift that is unexplainable. I look forward to seeing you on Oprah.
A great uplifting romance

One of the best romances I have ever read! Mirabelle Saintly and Gus her helper are wonderful characters. Ms. Anderson has a lively writing style that makes you want to keep turning the page. Not only does she imbue romance but she integrates them beautifully with little lessons for you to take to heart and help become a better person.Absolutely enchanting.
Fairy tale magic

Glass-Slipper-dot.com is a delightful retelling of the classic Cinderella story. Ms. Anderson's characters became like friends and their dilemmas tugged at my heart. By the end, I wished for my own personal fairy godmother. This is a special story with an uplifting message to share.
