tn_bibliophile's review against another edition
5.0
Cynder and her father built an event planning business. After his death, Cynder finds out he left the business to his new wife. Cynder gets demoted to secretary but still does everything in her power to make sure the events go off without a hitch. When she sneaks into the masquerade gala Xander is throwing for his new charity, they meet.
This is a fun contemporary Cinderella retelling. I really like Xander. I love his dynamic with Judy and Wyatt. I also love the added dimension of Cynder's personality added to the mix. This book has Christian themes.
Content Warning:
-Death of a wife and child
-Talks of cancer
-Sexual harassment
*This is a clean contemporary romance.

Oh hey, it's a Cinderella retelling! This book was a nice story, but not my favorite in this series. Looking for something that's a sweet, fluffy read, this is a cozy modern take.

Such a sweet and well written book. One (of many) thing that I appreciate about this author is how she weaves a believable story that is so easy (in the best of ways) to read. The story is sweet without saccharine-just enough salty to cut through. I hope that the side characters get their own books!

Emma St Clair knows how to write a billionaire story! The fourth in her Billionaire Surprise series is one of her best. This modern retelling of the Cinderella fairytale is a must read for romance fans. I am so happy that Xander, whom we first met in The Billionaire Land Baron, finally gets his own book.
Xander is ruled by his private grief and shuts himself away from connecting with people. Cyndil is dealing with the death of her father and his unexpected betrayal as well as an evil stepmother & step-siblings. The journey of Xander and Cyndil to overcome the obstacles in their path, including hidden feelings, misunderstandings, and slight dishonesty, makes for a delightful book.
The Billionaire’s Masquerade Ball has all the components for a great book: villains you can despise, a lead couple that makes your heart ache for them, and well thought out secondary characters. It’s hinted that there may be a book about Lucy & Wyatt in the future. I would love to see Judy get her own story as well.
