Just the sort of magical, reverse harem, and fae romance I needed! It did feel rushed towards the end and could have easily bled into another book, but everything ended well without any loose ends. I also appreciate the involvement of many romantic interests for different reasons; there are different types of love and this beautifully laces them together.

I enjoyed this book. An interesting story, well-written characters and a creative combining of the "real" and paranormal worlds.

Rosenwyn is a no-nonsense bankruptcy accountant who's been sent to investigate the financial problems with a pub in Cornwall. This is despite her mother's insistence that Rose NEVER, ever set foot there.

Once there, Rose meets the owner of the pub, Michael, and his twin brother Niall, both of whom seem to have something to hide. Rose is drawn to Niall, but determined to do her job quickly, because she has another reason for coming to Cornwall - she wants to find her father, who she's never known.

Rose's relationship with her mother has always been difficult, and she's certain she must be like her father, and is convinced if she can find him she will finally be accepted and loved for who she is.

Unfortunately, Rose's happy picture isn't going to happen. She quickly discovers that she's half fairy, and forced to play the dangerous games that the fairies take for granted. Completely ill-equipped for the intrigues and danger she's facing, Rose is forced to trust Niall, despite being infuriated and attracted to him at the same time.

The story moves along quickly, with lots of ups and downs and plenty of excitement. It's a fast, easy read and I would recommend it to fans of paranormal fiction.

I gave up on this book on page 147. It wasn't bad, it just didn't hold my attention.
