So this was a free book on Amazon that was recommended by the website. This is one of the few reviews where I would have to say I was not impressed. This book wasn't for me, but it had good reviews so others must find it good. First, I don't think it truly belongs in the Fantasy category. The basis of the book is about fairies, but really it's a romance (like steamy romance) novel. the book doesn't focus on the concept of the fairy world, but rather on the relationship, or I should say sexual relationship, of our two main characters. Second, the idea of a fairyland and fairies are more supporting characteristics of the book instead of the main characteristic and focus of the book. I personally don't recommend it, but those of you who like romance novel might enjoy it.
The basis of the book is about two fairies being brought to the mortal world because of war in the fairyland of Rush. Brigit and Brindin find themselves in the care of an orphanage, but Brindin gets adopted by a family controlled by the Dark Prince. Brigit, now unaware of being a fairy, finds herself in the care of a homeless man named Raze after the orphanage burns down and now she must commit crimes of forging expensive paintings in order to survive. The current scheme involves a painting belonging to a man named Adam. The only problem is upon meeting Adam, Brigit realizes she recognizes him from her dreams. Ben shares the recognition. They both are attracted to each other, but both are protecting their hearts from future heartache.
Adam was an adventurous child and found his way into the fairy kingdom of Rush. A fairy foretold his destiny as being the person to find her daughter after the war and to reunite her with her twin sister. He was warned not to fall in love with her for she will never be able to be with him. Adam's father was unamused by his imagination and beat him for it. As an adult, his wife has recently left him for his best friend. When Ben sees Brigit he knows his life is forever changed. Ben invites Brigit to be his live-in maid and she accepts for she needs to be near his painting in order to forge it. Raze is being held captive as an incentive for Brigit to follow through with the scheme. Brigit finds herself falling for Adam, even though she knows she must hurt him by stealing his real painting of Rush. She also finds herself believing she might actually be a fairy princess as Adam opens up to her about his childhood experience in Rush, but they both still believe it to be an unrealistic and ridiculous thought. Brigit struggles with herself and faces the moral obligations in order to save Raze. Will she follow through in order to save his life, even if it means hurting Adam, the one man she loves? Ben also struggles with his decisions as he must chose to help Brigit find her sister and risk losing her forever or to selfishly keep her by his side and not fulfill his destiny.
So I know what wasn't a great amount of information about the storyline, but it is basically sums it up. The storyline is really not what the book is about. The book is mainly about the sexual and emotional relationship between Adam and Brigit and how they try to fight against their desires for each other. This book is definitely an adult romance novel and if you like that style, then this is a great book for you. If you're like me looking for more imagination, then I would suggest you skip this book and find another.
