Syndea Ellerby doesn't participate in the bondage practiced in the private club she manages-The Glass Stripper-but fate keeps her shackled there nevertheless. When her father died, he asked her to take care of her stepmother and two stepsisters. Wickedly selfish stepmom Violet and her two daughters, Iris and Pansy, give new meaning to the words "dysfunctional family".

With a demanding stepmother to please, Syndea often feels more like a servant than a business manager. Moreover, the business is floundering. But when she mentions their financial problems to her stepmother, Violet assures her she has the situation under control, due to a "special customer" who is coming that evening, a Mr. Luciano Charmanti.

Doing some quick research on her computer, Syndea discovers that Luciano is the chief executive officer of an investment company. But what kind of investment company would be interested in a private club specializing in sexual fantasies?

Meanwhile, Luke Charmanti is outraged to learn that his mentor and boss, Isaac Gala has arranged for him to visit The Glass Stripper and investigate its potential. He, too, thinks the idea of investing in such a place is ridiculous. He has no idea Isaac has an ulterior motive-he wants Luke to meet Syn.

One of Syndea's many jobs is to keep an eye on "appointments" through the security cameras to make sure all goes well. As she settles in to watch Pansy and Iris entertain the mysterious Mr. Charmanti, she receives an unexpected IM on her computer-a message from YFG. She's rattled to learned that YFG stands for Your Fairy Godperson.

Soon the situation turns even more surreal. Looking through the camera she discovers that Mr. Charmanti is a handsome hunk. And YFG suggests Syndea needs to get to know him better. When Luke is less than charmed by her stepsisters, a second appointment is made. But this time YFG wants Syndea to appear in the fantasy scenario and charm the investment CEO into saving The Glass Stripper.

Sahara Kelly has masterfully combined hot sex and delightful humor in this modern-day retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. Take one beautiful heroine named Syn, a handsome prince of a guy, two bimbo stepsisters with half a brain between them, an evil stepmother with her own nefarious plans, and an up-to-date fairy godmother who's a whiz on the computer, then stir in a few red-hot sex scenes, and you have a Cinderella story like you never imagined.

The magic may not end at midnight, but that's when the appointment is over. And Syn disappears just as effectively as Cinderella ever did. But like the prince in the fairy tale, Luke is determined to find the beautiful seductress who's aroused his passion in ways no other woman ever has. All that stands in his way is Violet, Pansy and Iris. With a fairy godmother to make the light-hearted romp complete, Kelly manages a fresh retelling of an old story with a wonderful twist of humor.

Rated e-rotic by Ellora's Cave, The Glass Stripper contains sexual scenes and some light bondage.

A Kink In Her Tails is the story of four different couples that live in the same apartment complex. Four different couples who find out if they open their minds to new and different things they could find happiness that lasts a lifetime.

APARTMENT 4B - A young woman is awakened early one morning to find a gorgeous man delivering a package to her that was accidentally delivered to his apartment door. Inside the package she finds a kinky sex toy and has no idea who would send it to her. While having coffee together, Eve and Simon find that the attraction between them is very strong. Will Eve and Simon find something between them that will last a lifetime? Will Eve's new toy help open their minds to new possibilities? Open their hearts to love?

APARTMENT 6C - Laura and Adam have been married for quite sometime and found that their lives have become very routine. Including their sex lives. They know that their love for one another is still very strong but something must change between them before everything goes down hill. When a friend from Adam's past suddenly dies, Adams must tell Laura of his past life. When she learns the truth, will she leave him or embrace Adam's past in hopes that this is what they need to re-ignite the flames of their desire for one another?

APARTMENT 71 - Adele Martin has reached the ripe age of 41. She is a successful photographer; a photographer who took pictures displaying a man and woman wearing the newest kinky clothes and sex toys for a large sex toy company. She has always lusted after the male model who was charming, handsome and a body to die for. She has never let her interest in him show though because of the great age difference between them. Why would a man eight years her junior want her when her body is starting to show her age? They had no future. When her female model blows off an assignment that was due in just a few short weeks, Brian somehow talks Adele into filling in for her. Will Adele be able to overcome the age difference between them when posing with Brian leads to very hot and very passionate sex?

THE PENTHOUSE - Jason was a somewhat reclusive writer and a successful businessman living alone in his penthouse suite. When he comes home with some very good and hard to attain scotch from one his tenets' weddings, he finds himself thinking back to the wonderful and painful memories of his past. Memories of a love from his past; a love like no other, with a woman he could never forget. Jason and Francesca's relationship was very intense and at times very kinky and one that he mistakenly thought he got over years ago. His memories of their times together overcome him and he realizes that he should never have let Francesca get away all those years ago. Will Jason be able to come to terms with past? Is it possible that after all these years he can find the woman that meant so much to him?

A Kink In Her Tails is a wonderful mix of stories with a little kink in them and a whole lot of love and romance. Ms. Kelly is a great author with the ability to make her readers feel a wide rage of emotions while reading each of these stories. All her characters are very likable and so down to earth that you feel that you personally know them yourself. Each story is very unique and very hot. At first the BDSM theme had me hesitate but once you start to read each story you find that the BDSM is very light and everyone can get into and enjoy. I enthusiastically recommend this great mix of stories.
