Faery Lust and Mortal Love!

"Tall, Dark and Not So Faery" MaryJanice Davidson Scarlett is on a mission. A very important mission. A mission from the King, and she will let no one stand in her way. Unfortunately for Scarlett it is not a person that is hindering her, but a large, heavy, wooden door that is constantly closing in her face. If she can just get through that door, Scarlett would discover a strange and odd mix of individuals, she would make new friends, find old family and quite possibly fall in love... But only if she can get through the front door first. "Pixie Lust" Lois Greiman Avalina has entered the Mortal world for one reason only, to search for a rare plant, a Fern. But this is no ordinary Fern, at least not to a Fay, for it is believed to hold medicinal properties, and Avalina, being a Fern Fay, is determined to find it. What she didn't count on was finding William. Only the fickle and decadent flower faeries entered the Mortal world to consort with men. So why then all of a sudden is Avalina acting just like the silly flower faeries she has so little respect for, and is being with William really worth all the trouble? "Dust Me, Baby, One More Time" Michele Hauf Sidney may be leading a double life, but both lives are as straight-laced as you can get. By day she is Sidney Tooth, librarian and Reverie local, keeping very much to herself. By night she is the Tooth Faery, silently entering homes and exchanging teeth for coins. Nothing can upset Sidney's work routine, nothing that is except Dart. Sidney may not have time to sleep, but is she willing to make time for Dart Sand, the Sandman? "A Little Bit Faery" Leandra Logan Tia Mayberry has never quite fit in to the Enchanted Realm. Everything about her just seems wrong compared to the elegant faeries that call the Enchanted Realm home. So Tia has decided to try her luck in the Mortal Realm, she is leaving the Isle of Man for the Isle of Manhattan. But will her luck be any better among the humans, and will she be able to overcome her secret past to find happiness in the future? In these four stories you will find naughty tales of pixy lust and adoring fables of faery love. Highly imaginative and vividly romantic, these stories are not for the faint of heart, these are definitely faery-tales for adults only. If you love faeries and love love, you will love this book.

Faeries Gone Wild

"Tall, Dark and Not So Faery" by Mary Janice Davidson In a continuation from her short in the "No Rest for the Witches" anthology, we meet Scarlett, a faery sent to count a household on the edges of nowhere. Despite finding a car that is possessed, a mixture of humans, weres and vamps all living together, she is slightly more surprised to see her brother, the Violent Fairy, living amongst them. But she is even more surprised to meet Coffee Ray, a half-giant who makes her six-foot-four-inches seem piddly. As this uptight faery meets this laid back giant, things get interesting. "Pixie Lust" by Lois Greiman William Timber had it all - escaped from his mother's hippy beliefs, a fiancé who looks great on his arm (and is the boss' daughter, too), and a great development project that is going to make his name in the business. Until the day Avaline drops, literally, intro his life. His instant lust/infatuation/love with her makes his goals all seem so far away and when those former goals threaten not just their love, but her, he knows something has to change. "Dust Me Baby, One More Time" by Michele Hauf The designated tooth faery for this sleepy little town loves her job. She has worked hard to stay here and assimilate with the humans, even getting a job as a librarian. But her hard-won freedom is about to be eliminated by a group of uppity parents bent on abolishing the Tooth Fairy. Help arrives in the unexpected form of Dart Sand, a sandman with a premature dusting problem, but with the abs of a god. Together, they work to free the town's children from a life missing the Tooth Fairy and other childhood wonders. "A Little Bit Faery" by Leandra Logan Tia gets booted from her home because she just can't seem to land a man. Things are going great and then BAM! No more guy. She can't figure it out until one day her mother finally tells her that she is half -human and the other faeries just can't stand the smell of her. So she heads off the mortal realm in search of her father. In New York, she meets injured firefighter, Alec, who runs the building she moves into. And while it seems they are moving quickly, they both realize they were meant to meet each other and help the other find their way. Faeries Gone Wild was one of the best anthologies I have read in a long time. I love every story, with its very different take on the theme of faeries letting loose. They were all charming, funny, easy to read and overall worth the money and the time. A definite must for fans of faeries and paranormals everywhere. Niki Lee Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Faeries Go Wild, But Sweetly

In this adorable anthology, you will find four novellas of fairies in search of romance. They go mildly wild, yes, but sweetly. All of the authors are from Minnesota. The 4 stories in the collection are: 1. "Tall, Dark, and Not So Faery" by MaryJanice Davidson. Faery princess Scarlett travels to the mortal realm to take a faery census in the home of her brother, the Violent Faery. He's just married a dryad, and they have a new baby. He also shares quarters with a vampire, a werewolf, and an enchanted automobile named Judith. Quite unexpectedly, Scarlett finds a love of her own...Coffee Ray, who happens to have some giant in him. 2. "Pixie Lust" by Lois Greiman. Fern faery Avalina travels to the mortal realm to protect an endangered species of her favorite plant. Accidentally plucked along with a flower while she's in her tiny form, she grows to human size and takes over the life of down-to-earth William. William must learn to rediscover his hippie heritage to rescue the fern, and Avalina. 3. "Dust Me, Baby, One More Time" by Michele Hauf. Sidney is a tooth faery with a boring social life and a liking for Carrie and the girls of Sex and the City. She literally bumps into Dart Sand, a sexy blond surfer-dude sandman, on the job, and there is an instant attraction. There's only one problem: when Dart gets excited, he dusts everything in sight, sending Sidney snoring. Will they be able to overcome his premature dusting problem...and a town full of women urging their children not to believe in the tooth fairy? 4. "A Little Bit Faery" by Leandra Logan. Tia Mayberry is stunned to learn her father is human. She travels to the mortal realm, hoping to meet him...and runs into Alec Simon, a hunky firefighter recovering from being injured in the line of duty.

Faeries Gone Wild

the main reason I bought this book was for the Mary Janice Davidson's story as she is one of my favorite current writers. I found however that each and every short story is worth reading in this book. Those who like Mary Davidson's story in NO REST FOR THE WITCHES will enjoy the return of the same characters in Tall Dark and not Faery and a census count of the supernatural inhabitants of the house has to be accounted for. Pixie Lust deals with a fairy who falls for a land developer who must choose between the wealth and job he always known and what in his heart. It has the type of ending to the story I didn't see coming and totally romantic. Dust me one more time is about a tooth fairy who lives on earth so she doesn't have to travel been earth and fairy world each night. The mothers in town are practical and don't believe in holiday icon nonsense. Haven't already removed one icon from the town they plan to remove the tooth fairy as well. Having fallen for the local sandman she isn't given up without a fight. He might have to give up more than he expects if the two plan to have a future together. A little bit fairy is about a fairy struggling not to blend her way and not how mother and the others she wanted. especially when a fire fighter has sparked the flames of love in her heart.

Winged Things

Four Minnesota based authors, four tales of faeries lusting and loving, one anthology full of humor and strange hijinks. [TALL, DARK AND NOT SO FAERY] by MaryJanice Davidson, When six feet and four inches of counting obsessed faery comes looking for Lent, the Violent Fairy to do the duty the faery king has sent her to do silliness ensues. Fortunately, Judith, the enchanted car decides there's another town resident that this gigantic faery should count and she won't take no for an answer. -- This story HAS to be read AFTER you've read the previous installment from the No Rest For The Witches anthology. It will make NO sense unless you do. That said this story was a bit silly and very weird (as the other was) but if you're in the mood for that sort of thing it's okay. 3/5 stars [PIXIE LUST] by Lois Greiman, Avalina is on a mission to find a very special fern in the woods of the Pacific Northwest but when a human unknowingly interupts that quest it will change both of their lives in ways neither expected. -- More of a lusty tale, this is a very fish-out-of-water kind of story. I, personally, found it different in a good way and really liked Greiman's writing style. 5/5 stars [DUST ME, BABY, ONE MORE TIME] by Michele Hauf, When you're the tooth fairy, having a love life can be more than a little complicated. Especially when the rules of your job include a no fraternizing with other night-workers clause and your best chance at some male attention is a premature dusting sandman. -- I dunno what it was about this one but it was so silly it was cute and I loved it. Hauf did a wonderful job of taking fairytale fairies and making them real enough to be great story characters. 5/5 stars [A LITTLE BIT FAERY] by Leandra Logan, When her living situation in the faery realm gets shaken up Tia goes on an adventure from the Isle of Man to the Island of Manhattan in search of a new life. While there she enchants a down-on-his-luck fireman and gets more than she bargained for in her search for her father. -- This well plotted storyline works really well but the faery elements were very weak and I didn't care for the hero or heroine. Not a bad contribution, just not quite as funny as the others which in my opinion seperated it from the group in a bad way. 4/5 stars In general this anthology is sure to get mixed reviews. Most I think will be buying it because of MaryJanice Davidson's contribution and thus might be disappointed. If you're buying this one for the reason I did--faery stories for adults, yay!--I think you'll likely enjoy it more. This one definitely isn't for every reader but if you like faeries (not fae, sidhe or elves but pixies!) and can handle the funny I think this one is worth picking up.
