“Sometimes, taking care of something else, puts the pieces back together.”—Aunt MellieFairies don’t exist. Nathan is pretty sure about that. Except it’s hard to ignore a feisty fairy when she accidentally becomes human sized. Naked. Yeah…Nathan needs to help a fairy return home while dealing with a jealous ex, a curse that also shouldn’t be real, a creepy relative, and crazy, burning attraction to a certain fairy. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun before Katenia returns home; Nathan doesn’t believe in love. But just like all the other things he didn’t believe in before Katenia, love might be the scariest of them all…“There is one rule. Not to fall in love with each other.”—NathanThe book was entertaining and a quick read—both fast-paced and short (novella length). With our heroine being a fairy, we have some fun moments with language barriers (as Katenia takes everything literally) and with the fact that fairies don’t mind showing some skin—like all of it—while Nathan is trying to be a gentleman and not look. Add in another fact that fairies don’t have a problem with being shy about sex, and Nathan really has a battle to be a gentleman.He pretty much loses, and we get a medium-high heat level romance! But then there’s the pesky issue of fairies and humans don’t mix (as in burning hatred on the fairies’ part) and there are some villains willing to break up the two of them—as in let’s make one of them or both six-feet under. Plus, Nathan has to deal with some past baggage, which has pretty much given him a negative view of love. Luckily, Katenia is as fiercely protective as she is hot, and Nathan needs someone like that to protect him from his own cynicism about love.I thought the book depicting their relationship was entertaining (with some dark moments thanks to past baggage—or hypothetical future in the case of Katenia) although I did raise an eyebrow with their actions after dealing with the villains (and thought…really?? Now??). A little past that scene, the ending was perfect, and I loved it. Overall, this is a 3.5 out of 5 for me!(Originally posted on my blog; I received a NetGalley copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
