Flirting With Fairies

Most of the story takes place in this realm where book characters wait around in green rooms or scenery for their authors to do something with them. Nicole is a fairy in disguise in the human realm where she works as a literary agent looking for the next best seller. She thinks she’s found that in Kaleb, but things go terribly wrong when he is hit by a bus and both of them are pulled into the Imagination Realm. Unfortunately, Nicole is a wanted fugitive there since she skipped out on a Shakespeare story three hundred years ago. The two of them have to dodge bounty hunters, psychic monkeys, bored characters, and more. And when some of them discover that Nicole is protecting a treasure… it’s almost more than she can handle.

What I liked: The characters are amazing as are the settings and the idea of interacting with characters in the book and what happens when authors don’t write them well, or never finish a story. It’s imaginative and fun. And there is an interesting plot twist at the end that gives you a HEA you weren’t expecting.

What I didn’t like: It was sometimes a little confusing to follow and there were a very few minor editorial issues (typos).

Recommendation: Don’t expect a deep story here. This is a fun-filled tale that will have you laughing—which is not a bad thing. We all need more fun and laughter. Recommended.

Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Although I was wanting to love this story, I had a few issues with it.
The premise is great, however it was confusing at times, and felt very forced at others. It was corny which made it a little difficult to push through at times.

Overall it was fairly entertaining I supposed, but it isn't a book I'll read again, or recommend to others.

Nicole McConnelly is a literary agent in dire financial trouble. But hey, just because she's a fairy doesn't mean she can magic herself all the luck ever. Plus, you know, she kind of in hiding being a fugitive from the Realm of Imagination and all. Kaleb Whalen's life isn't much better. He's a moonlighting author who can't pay his rent. He's being threatened to be evicted from his crappy apartment with his not so wanted pet cockroach, Pete. In a stroke of amazing coincidence, Nicole has discovered Kaleb's novel that could be a best-seller, with a few edits... but as Nicole is trying to call Kaleb to set up a meeting AND as Kaleb is running to try to get to his actual job... well, they both have extraordinary accidents... and end up in Kaleb's novel in the Realm of Imagination. Now Nicole and Kaleb must try to escape back into the mortal realm with a ruthless bounty hunter and Kaleb's cast of characters on their heels. Can they make it back to the real world without having to pay the ultimate price?

Flirting With Fairies has a dynamic cast of characters that each have their own true identity. The story arches over the mortal and Imaginary (book) realms. There are villains and bounties, hidden treasures and love. There is a lot going on with this book. That being said. I didn't really jive with it all. The romance aspect of the story (multiple romances) were very insta-lovey. I mean. I just met you, we had a good conversation, maybe snogged for a second- BAM! love! The overall storyline was intriguing, but ultimately it failed to really pull me in all the way.

Overall, if you are looking for a grand adventure with a happy ending with a few fairies, demon-lords, vampires, well-intentioned possibly murderous ghosts and a hum- I mean, personal assistant, then look no further.
