Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

New York Times bestselling author Christine Warren returns to the scintillating world of the Others—where even the strangest love stories start with “Once upon a hunk”…

After her two best friends marry a blood-sucking vampire and furry-faced werewolf, Corinne DAlessandro is making a vow of her own: NO interspecies dating. But when her editor asks her to investigate “leprechaun” sightings, the sassy New York reporter finds herself on the trail of the hottest story of the year—and the sexiest man alive…

NOT YOUR ORDINARY FAERIE TALE

His name is Luc, and hes as gorgeous as any Prince Charming in any bedtime story. Theres just one problem: Hes not human, hes fae. A captain of the Fae Queens Guard, Luc is on a dangerous mission—and he could use the help of a certain leprechaun-hunting reporter. But when their two worlds collide, the sparks begin to fly. If Corinne and Luc cant control their lust—and focus on the villains in this story—their faerie-tale romance wont end happily ever after…

“In this world…theres no shortage of sexy sizzle.”

—Romantic Times BOOKreviews

Review:

"With wit that never quite hits its mark and insufficient fantasy glitter, Warren's 12th novel of the Others (after May 2011's Black Magic Woman) is in fact a very ordinary Fae-meets-girl story. Reporter Corinne D'Allesandro and Luc Macinaw, head of Queen Mab's Guard, collaborate on a haphazard search around Manhattan for the queen's nephew. Luc is shocked that Fate has chosen him a human heartmate, but Corinne's happy to have the sexy attention and willing to suffer the teasing of her already Other-mated friends, even if Luc never stops being vaguely insufferable. Luc's only supernatural characteristics are pointy ears and a tendency to glow after the clumsily described sex ('like soul A and soul B matched on some sort of elemental plane'), and the plot is painfully obvious and unengaging. Only longtime fans will be interested in this installment." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

About the Author

Christine Warren is the bestselling author of The Others series, including Wolf at the DoorBig Bad Wolf, Born to Be Wild, Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here, and Black Magic Woman. Born and raised in coastal New England, she now lives as a transplant in the Pacific Northwest. (She completely bypassed those states in the middle due to her phobia of being landlocked.) When not writing, she enjoys horseback riding, playing with her pets, identifying dogs from photos of their underbellies, and most of all reading things someone else had to agonize over.
