Product Description
Queen Mab's niece, Fiona, has long been bored to tears by the intrigues of Court life. She'd prefer to cut loose at a punk club, knock back a few Thai beers, and hook up with a likely lad of similar interests. But when Fiona goes AWOL, she only gets as far as Manhattan's Inwood Park before a nasty demon nearly puts a permanent crimp in her plans - and a dark stranger sparks her desire...All work and no play make Tobias Walker one cranky werewolf. After six months of doing his part to keep the peace during the delicate negotiations between the Others and humankind, he'd like nothing more than a good night's sleep - preceded by an enthusiastic mating session. The alluring woman he rescues in the park might be the answer to his most lustful prayers, but only if they can both stay alive long enough to find out who wants her dead and why. Now, Fiona and Tobias must unravel a tangled web of treachery that spans branches of the Fae, Other, and mortal worlds, all the while falling into a dangerous attraction that could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship - or the end for them both...

this book was not what i was expecting, in a very good way! it's a little racy but in no way corny or predictable. great! i really enjoyed the way the werewolves weren't the bad guys (it seems they always get a raw deal) and i totally fell in love with every character. i nearly cried when i noticed i had only a few pages left to read and i'd have to say goodbye to them all! i love escaping the real world in my reading and even though this is set in modern new york it really does take you to another world- a world where werewolves and vampires and all things magical can fall in your lap when you least expect it.

She's no Faerie Princess is book number 2 in the "others" series which introduces us to Tobias Walker (werewolf) and Fiona (Fae) the two meet under pretty unfortunate circumstances when Fiona is attacked by a stray demon on entry to Manhattan. Walker of course is her knight in a shining fur coat ultimatley saving her from becoming demon fodder. Of course the road doesn't get any easier for the pair when the two are forced together to help to discover firstly how a demon has managed to find it's way from below (Fae term for hell) when no demon has set foot on earth for centuries, and secondly why the gate which Fiona passed through from her homeland in Faerie is now suddenly cut off to her, leaving her stranded on the earth plane. Of course things get a helluva lot more complicated when the body count starts to rise and it starts to becomes apparent that there's another level of evil at play behind the demons sudden appearance. It ultimately falls upon Walker and Fiona, with the help of Walkers fellow brethren to get to the bottom of it.
Overall yes, i did enjoy the story. Though I cant say i was surprise by the outcome on both Walkers and Fionas relationship and the mystery behind the precense of the demons. It's all pretty step by step and fairly obvious in that sense. Also i found myself cringing when during the frequent moments where Fiona and Walker get carnal he suddenly picks up this annoying habit of vocally staking his claim over Fiona with one aggravating word..."mine"
It's okay the first couple of times, but after a while it started to grate on me. It got to the point that i just wanted to yell out "we get the picture buddy!"
Okay i know i'm picking there, yet for me it was just to much like what i'd expect a Neanderthal male to grumble while he's getting busy. Other than that i cant fault the passion between Fiona and Walker and they way they deal with it, both physically, and mentally. Those are the only down sides for me in an otherwise enjoyable story.
So all in all, i recommend this book if your looking for an interesting new dimension in an ever growing genre. There are also some likeable secondary characters that i should expect we will see more of in later books in this series.

Christine Warren's books are unashamedly trashy paranormal romances, but there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect the same quality of writing that you get with other similar writers (Christine Feehan or Tate Hallaway or Gerry Bartlett for example) because you won't find it here. She does inject plenty of passion into the books though, so that's an upside!
"She's no faerie princess" is definitely better than the first book "Wolf at the Door", although it features some of the same characters. The storyline is a little more on the whodunnit side which I found more interesting. This book focuses on Fiona, a member of the Fae, who happens to be the niece of both the Queen of one realm and the King of another. Finding herself much in demand as a mate by other ambitious members of the fae, she ventures into the human world against the express wishes of her aunt. Almost as soon as she enters, she is attacked by a demon, something she has heard of but never seen before. Her rescuer Tobias, a werewolf, takes her back to his home and they immediately indulge in their mutual attraction. However, his quick discovery that she is fae puts a dampener on things. He feels that she is his mate but he is confused by the fact that she is not a were. She feels an attraction and as the fae indulge in whatever they feel when they feel it, has a mind to have a passionate fling with him, not join with him for life. When she tries to re-enter the world of Fae, she finds the entry closed. And so begins the story of who is trying to cause trouble with the Fae and bring demons into the human world.
I know it sounds as though I have told the whole story but that's just what happens on the first few pages really!
The writing isn't great, the dialogue is pretty terrible in particular, but the story is interesting enough and hot enough when it needs to be too. It's a quick trashy read, but sometimes that just what you are after!

Light, amuzing: no serious read this
If all you want and expect is a light, amusing romp through the 'other' world of NY city, then this is for you. An entertaining bit of froth. Very valuable in its place. Read more
