Who doesn't want to find true love?  The fantasy of finding that one person who fulfills our every dream and makes our heart skip a beat is something I think we all desire in our lifetime. If we could find that someone could we abandon our everyday life and just live in the halo of that other person? Could we frolic and bask in the glory of true love and life would then take care of itself? What about the responsibilities that fall upon our shoulders to just survive and be a productive member of society?  Where does this come into play while we are so consumed with ourselves?  Brigid has to come to terms with this reality when her fiancé comes back from the forest a changed man. Once a hardworking, strict fellow, Connell has been transformed into a playful attentive guy.  Spending every waking hour at her side, the transformation is astonishing.  Brigid has always been an outsider since her contact with the Faerie Queen so the attention she is getting, is welcomed but why the transformation?This is one book that was hard to put down. I haven't read that many fairy books but this one is definitely a keeper.  The action was rolling from the beginning and didn't stop till the last page was turned. I found myself yelling at Brigid, trying to tell her what to do and just shaking my head as I read at the drama that was unfolding before me.  Brigid wanted to create a life of her own but felt she had responsibilities that got in the way which created tensions along the way.  I enjoyed her relationship with her mother as it had many emotions and it was like their relationship was backwards.  Great read.
