She's No Faerie Princess (Others Novels (Paperback)) (Others, #2)

by Christine Warren

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...

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.
