i loved Warner's recent books..... I just a hard time with this one. I struggled to finish it..tooo flippant ( )

I enjoyed this book, although it had a little more far fetched idea than the first book in this series. The further I embarked in this book, I found myself losing some interest in the suspenseful story line only because areas seemed to be more make believe than the story I normal read. I say make believe as if everything else with vampires and werewolves are believable. Ha! I did enjoy this story and I would recommend to read, but I would also suggest being prepared to accept some far fetched scenarios. As always, Christine Warren, did deliver an amazing love story of a love others would dream to have. Even for the strongest willed individuals you find yourself craving the love and devotion that Warrens characters deliver, and you find yourself wanting the kind of protection that Warren's werewolf mates provide in these story lines. ( )

Fun paranormal romance - very very explicit, though. I do want both the previous book and the next one (I looked at both in the store). As a story, it's OK; as a romance, it's in the very explicit mode, which I find rather boring, but there are nice reasonably realistic obstacles reasonably realistically removed; as an urban fantasy universe, it's great. The setup is very much like Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, but better - richer, even in the one book I've read. ( )

Second in the 'Others" series and much better than the first. This one seemed to flow better, was more interesting plot wise and developed the characters from the first novel even further, adding depth to them overall. ( )

An interesting premise...Fiona, daughter of Queen Mab (Seelie Court) and King Dionnu (Useelie court) decides she's had enough court intrigue and politics and heads off to New York for a bit of a vacation...despite the fact that travel to human land are banned by her aunt, The Queen. She successfully slips out of her world and into the human realm and is almost immediately attacked by a demon and then saved by Tobias, a werewolf. This story is an interesting mix of the everyday "real" world, a separate magical world...and those places where the two mix. The basic gist of the story is that Fiona comes for a vacation...a little dancing, some good food, a little hankie panky and winds up stuck here, hunted by demons at what could be described as the worst time for this to happen...at a time when humans and otherkin of all kinds are negotiating otherkin rights. At a time when these negotiations are at a delicate place and where Tobias and his pack are working around the clock to ensure there are no "incidents" to ruin the negotiations.

What you get in She's No Faerie Princess is just romping good fun with a minor mystery thrown in. Probably the best part of the book is the chemistry between Tobias and Fiona. They have a very Han Solo/Princess Lea kind of sexual tension/animosity between them (sorry, but that's what came to mind as I was reading through the book) that manages to be both humorous and annoying. I guess that's what happens when you throw a sexually liberated and extremely stubborn Faerie into a romantic paring with an [..] retentive, driven to protect werewolf. That's not all it's got...in this story you get Demons, Fiends, Witches, Werewolves (and a Werejaguar), heck you even get Demon Police...the number of twists in this novel, while somewhat predictable, are totally fun and She's no Faerie Princess has sex that actually manages to be "hot" and well placed...instead of the plot being used to bridge sex scenes, we got more plot with sex as a key component to making it all work out right.

Overall, I give it four stars. She's No Faerie Princess is a light, easy read that is very entertaining. The female lead is feisty and while she must be rescued more than once...she's not a helpless damsel waiting helplessly to be rescued by the big, strong werewolf...I like that she was independent, strong-willed (read stubborn), and really just looking to have a good time. The only drawback I found was that at times, the overbearing "mine" mentality the author gave Tobias got a bit tired...we get it already; you don't have to beat us over the head with it. Other than that, a really entertaining, light read for those times when you just need a bit of fluff to entertain you. ( )
