Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. Romance. 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.… (mer)

She's No Faerie Princess was pretty good. Fiona is a Fae princess who is bored and wants to take a vacation. She decides to visit the human world to do this, even though it's forbidden by her aunt, Queen Mab. Walker is a beta lupine of the Silverback Clan. The Others are brokering basic rights with the humans before they are introduced to the populace. Walker is currently on patrol to make sure none of the Others get out of hand while the negotiations are taking place. However, when Fiona crosses over to the human world, demons are determined to kill her.

I have to say that I liked this story better than The Wolf at the Door. I felt the attraction between Fiona and Walker was more genuine and the passion between them was pretty hot. No bland romance here! I liked that Fiona stood up to Walker when the situation warranted. Yes, he's an alpha male, but she could hold her own and she didn't do anything that was stupid. They balanced each other quite nicely. The intrigue concerning the demons attacking humans and, Others alike, was very interesting and took a turn I wasn't expecting. I felt that this book was a nice addition to the series. ( )

She's No Faerie Princess
3.5 Stars

Synopsis
Tired of the intrigue at her aunt Mab's court, Fiona is in dire need of a vacation. Upon her arrival in New York, Fiona is attacked by a demon and rescued by Tobias Walker, a cranky werewolf with better things to do than babysit a faerie princess. In the midst of the negotiations surrounding the unveiling of the Others to humanity, Walker and Fiona must deal not only with rampaging demons and a summoner with nefarious plans for the fae and humanity but with their growing attraction as well.

Review
A light, sexy and funny read.

Fiona and Walker have instantaneous and intense chemistry and their banter is witty and entertaining. Fiona is a feisty, independent and powerful heroine more than capable of defending herself and Walker a sexy and protective alpha who falls hard despite his reservations.

The secondary characters are also well developed and the bickering between Squick and Babbage is particularly entertaining as is the library scene with Missy and Tess.

The world building is better than in Wolf at the Door with more details provided concerning the fae and the demons. The guardian demon Rule is very intriguing and I look forward to his book.

The amulet/summoner plot is the weakest point. Despite its potential, there is no real tension or suspense and the villain is way too obvious. The climax is very good but the ending feels rushed and the obstacles to Fiona and Walker's relationship are glossed over too easily. The result is an unsatisfying conclusion.

On a final note, it seems that I've been reading out of order. This series is preceded by the Fixed books, which have since been re-written and amalgamated into the Others but out of chronological order. I will, therefore, be going back to read the first book One Bite with a Stranger. ( )

Fiona is a Faerie Princess, with the attitude of a rebellious teen. Tobias Walker, the beta of the pack is sexy and over protective of her immediately. The lust between Fiona and Tobias is instant and hotly intense, as is the way magic is generated.

They struggle to figure out how to open the portals between their world and save the ones they love from demons and those who called them bent on destroying the world and their loved ones. The humans must not become aware of the troubles. She tries to keep from him, he is mortal and will die all to soon, he dominantly holds her no matter what.

I liked this book, but I did not fall in love with it or the characters. I wanted more story, more of the Fae background and issues they faced. It was a bit too much romance for my taste.

Fiona really is an immortal Faerie princess, and when she takes a vacation from her Aunt Mab’s court into New York City, she finds herself being stalked by a demon. Fortunately, Tobias Walker, a werewolf and Head of Security to the Alpha, comes to her rescue. As they grudgingly work together to discover why Fiona is unable to return home, why a demon (the enemy of the Fae and supposedly trapped in the Below) is running around New York, and what the King of the Unseelie Court has to do with it, the wolf and the princess realize that eternity looks pretty bleak when spent alone.
I’m definitely enjoying Warren’s Others series. She has incredibly well-fleshed out reoccurring characters, some of who are already married not just conveniently single friends to be the leads in other books. Her plots are also very believable (at least in a paranormal sense), especially when dealing with the politics of the supernatural world revealing itself to the human one. In other words, it is possible to enjoy this series on many levels.

I didn't mind this story of Fiona, the princess fae who comes into the human relm and into the arms of werewolf Tobias Walker. It does not take him long to realize she's his mate even though he did find it hard to beleive that he was to be mated with a fae princess with a strong will. Together, with his pack, they fight evil with good results in the end. ( )
