Product Description |
Queen Mab's niece, Fiona, has long been bored to tears by the intrigues of Court life. She'd prefer to cut loose at a punk club, knock back a few Thai beers, and hook up with a likely lad of similar interests. But when Fiona goes AWOL, she only gets as far as Manhattan's Inwood Park before a nasty demon nearly puts a permanent crimp in her plans—and a dark stranger sparks her desire...
All work and no play make Tobias Walker one cranky werewolf. After six months of doing his part to keep the peace during the delicate negotiations between the Others and humankind, he'd like nothing more than a good night's sleep—preceded by an enthusiastic mating session. The alluring woman he rescues in the park might be the answer to his most lustful prayers, but only if they can both stay alive long enough to find out who wants her dead and why.
Now, Fiona and Tobias must unravel a tangled web of treachery that spans branches of the Fae, Other, and mortal worlds, all the while falling into a dangerous attraction that could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—or the end for them both... |

Loved It! |

I wasn't sure I'd like this book because I don't normally read or enjoy stories or books about the Fae. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually laughed out loud at the parts Squick (and briefly Babbage) had. I do enjoy stories that mix a little humor in them. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. |

Superb |
All she wanted was just a vacation! Okay, so vacationing to the human world is banned by Queen Mab but Fiona's never listened well to authority. Especially not when the authority is her aunt! However, a demon isn't supposed to be waiting for her when she arrives. Worse yet, the way back to Faerie is now barred and she's trapped with cranky werewolf Tobias Walker as an escort. Can things get any worse?
I thought WOLF AT THE DOOR was good but SHE'S NO FAERIE PRINCESS simply blows the first book away! The tension between Fiona and Tobias crackles as the snappy retorts fly fast and furious. Fiona is a feisty heroine and she's not going to let one overbearing werewolf get the best of her! Tobias is used to being the top dog, er werewolf that is, next to his Pack's Alpha and he's certainly not going to listen to some Faerie woman. Oh my, the sparks between these two simply sizzle!
I can't believe I took so long to get to this series. SHE'S NO FAERIE PRINCESS has been hovering in my TBR stacks ever since it was first published. I was worried it was going to be another stereotypical Faerie book. Oh boy, was I wrong! The twists and turns keep SHE'S NO FAERIE PRINCESS rolling along with the fast paced plot where nothing ever goes quite the way you'd expect. Superb, absolutely superb!

She's No Faerie Princess |
Fiona has the supreme pleasure of being the niece of the current faerie queen; not. Despising court life, she yearns for the freedom afforded her when she sneaks into the human world. Today is one of those days and while her interesting companions, a pixie and an imp, try and talk her out of sneaking away from Court, Fiona doesn't listen and heads towards the human world. Once there she runs into a bit of trouble in the form of a huge, hoof-footed demon intent on causing her immediate demise. Rescue comes in the unlikely form of a werewolf of all things. An attractive, somewhat irritated werewolf that Fiona suddenly desires very much.
Ever since negotiations began six months ago between the Others and humans, Tobias Walker has been patrolling his area of the park without much help. Tired, horny, and just downright disagreeable at times, he yearns for uninterrupted sleep and a nice good session of sex. When he hears a scream in the area he is monitoring, Tobias runs to find the source of the disturbance and comes face to face with an alluring, somewhat alternative looking woman being chased by a demon. Coming to her aid, he is surprised and completely taken aback by what she makes him feel. Now if only he can keep her alive long enough to explore the attraction he has for her.
After reading Wolf at the Door, I was looking forward to She's No Faerie Princess very much and wasn't disappointed in the least. I love how Tobias started out being grumpy and Alpha, and after one encounter with Fiona, his entire life changes for the better, even if at first he doesn't even understand what hit him. I adored Fiona from the first scene of the book and loved her by the end. Not afraid to be herself, even if different, was enlightening to me and I thought her a most worthy heroine as well as the perfect mate to Tobias.
I first discovered Christine Warren's wolves and shape shifters novels at Ellora's Cave and I can't be more proud of the fact that her wonderful tales of mating, Alpha-ness, and just downright sexy shape shifters are now in mass market. I have yet to read a Christine Warren book that I haven't enjoyed and She's No Faerie Princess was plain and simply just a stunningly fun book to read. I can't wait for the next installment!
