I received this book in exchange for an honest review.After reading the first installment of the Kingdom Series books, I literally couldn't wait to open this book. In the first book, "Her Mad Hatter", you are introduced to each of the 5 sinister heart throbs in brief and, you already begin to anticipate each of their journey's. I perhaps anticipated his most of all because, he is the unknown playboy of a story we all thought we knew so well.When I opened the book and began to read a smile spread across my face at the promise of greatness. It starts once again with the wonderful Danika fairy. This time she is on the hunt for Gerard, the unknown other man from Beauty and the Beast, getting a little help from another of her famed bad boys. You can't help but love the quick wit the fairy God-mother of these stories has. Her character instantly makes you laugh aloud and wish you could be her.Danika brings a battered Gerard to earth to face his one true love and save him from his coming fate after he woos the wrong girl, and gets a price put on his head. If Danika can't convince those at trial of his change, he may never make it to see the light of another day.Gerard, right from the beginning, we know he does not want to settle down especially not with a human from earth.Betty is a librarian who loves nothing more than her books, and is definitely not looking for a man. But, she isn't blind and who could resist that accent right?For me, the book was somewhat disappointing. It seemed to drag along taking a while to really get into the story itself. Though I did enjoy reading it, I was left wanting more. Betty's snarky attitude was entertaining. But, not enough for me to really get pulled into the story.Though I found the book to progress slowly, I would recommend reading it along with the rest of the series. The author really seems to have a handle on the fantasies of our youth, and anyone who loved fairy tales as a girl or boy, should definitely add this book and the Kingdom series to their reading list.
