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!

Another great story.

When Princess Fiona from the Seelie Court meets Werewolf Tobias Walker the sparks fly.This book has it all intrigue,romance. Oh of course heat. Great story!

A Winner for Warren!

Fiona may be Queen Mab's niece-yes that Queen Mab, the Queen of Faerie-but she's had it with court life and its intrigues. Time for a little vacation in the human realm-some Faerie R & R. But the moment she steps from the portal of Faerie into our world, she's attacked-by a demon. Only the quick action of cranky werewolf Tobias Walker, and her own desperate use of the last of her magic saves her-and Tobias-from the demon. Never mind that she's hot and he really needs some time between the sheets-with or without a woman-Tobias is not about to get involved with this, this FAERIE PRINCESS. He's got a major case of the hots for her, sure, but he's also short on sleep and likely to stay that way until the human/other alliance is settled. Representatives of weres, vampires, etc., along with humans of all nations have come together to hammer out a mutual accord that will result in Tobias and his kind being revealed to the world as real, rather than figments of fabled imagination. Problem is, the humans are skittish. All they need is the new influx of demons which has somehow made its way into this world, and is killing humans, to set the minds of the human delegates completely against the others and begin a new witch hunt the likes of which has never been seen. Complicate that with the arrival of one of the heirs to Mab's throne-a real Faerie Princess-and Mab's justly feared fury at anyone who might allow harm to come to the Princess, and you've got a bigger mess than a whole mess of werewolves can handle. Warren sets up a fast-paced killer of a paranormal, with plenty of plot twists, action and hotter-than-hot sex scenes that will keep the reader glued to the page and howling for more when they've all been turned. The few loose ends not tied up don't manage to deter from the satisfactory journey through demons, faeries, werewolves and the resultant carnage of mixing them all together. The romance between a reluctant faerie princess and her the-other-side-of-the-tracks werewolf lover burns up the pages, adding great sexual tension to an already tense and rapid-fire plot. Well-formed characters and well-turned action succeed in drawing the reader in to a well-defined world-one you'll look forward to revisiting as soon and as often as possible. Recommended.

Charming Paranormal

Fiona a Fae Princess escapes to New York for a vacation to avoid all the court intrigue. She runs into a little demon trouble and Tobias Walker a werewolf who she works with to stop the demons. The Hero is an alpha male and yes, there is the whole "Mine" and Marking issue but really it's not unexpected he's a werewolf and it didn't detract from the story or the romance. Fiona is a really Fun character and a strong female. I laughed out loud a couple times and really enjoyed the book. I'm looking forward to her next book.
