I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.I wouldn't classify this book as "A Faerie Tale for Grown-Ups". The plot, characters, and story were way to simplistic and nave. No juice at all; more like a teenage fairy tale.The hero, Seamus is an inept faerie who is supposed to grant true love to humans who wish for it.  So far he has failed with Lancelot and Guinevere, Bonnie and Clyde (etc. -get the picture).Because his father was a warrior, Seamus wants nothing more than to be a warrior. He was inept at being a warrior, so he became a true love wish granter. Almost half of the book is details of Seamus failures as a warrior and as a matchmaker. The second half gets more interesting when the human, Dr. Kara Sebree, an anthropologist and workaholic is introduced. She only believes in what can be proven by science. True love cannot be proven by Science; therefore, isn't real to her.The name that Seamus is given when sent to the human world is Finn McCool. The name is close to that of his hero. The story has its moments, but it seems too much like a child's book. The ineptness of the hero becomes boring and many times too unrealistic even though it is a tale. No one can be that clumsy or unlucky.There were also numerous typos in the book. I wouldn't recommend this book to adults unless they were very prudish about the things they liked to read.
