    About this audiobook

    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.

    Christine Warren

    Christine Warren is the New York Times bestselling author of The Others series, including Wolf at the Door, Big Bad Wolf, Born to Be Wild, Prince Charming Doesn’t Live Here, and Black Magic Woman. Born and raised in coastal New England, she now lives as a transplant in the Pacific Northwest. (She completely bypassed those states in the middle due to her phobia of being landlocked). When not writing, she enjoys horseback riding, playing with her pets, identifying dogs from photos of their underbellies, concocting all sorts of yummies (both liquid and solid), and, most of all, reading things someone else had to agonize over.

      Kate Reading is a wonderful narrator, but this story was so full of horrible cliches, I could feel my English teachers wincing.
    • 4/5
      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.

      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.
    • 3/5
      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.
    • 4/5
      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.
    • 4/5
      Okay, the title sucks. But don't let the title scare you away. This is a funny, sexy, involved story that's pretty well-written. The main character, Fiona, is the niece of Queen Mab, the ruler of the Seelie Course of Faerie. She is bored with court and all of the intrigues that are a part of being a possible heir, so Fiona sneaks through the gate into the mortal world, popping out in Central Park. Instead of getting to eat hot dogs and hang out at punk clubs, though, Fiona is almost immediately attacked by a demon (which are definitely not common in the mortal world) and ends up being helped by Tobias Walker, a werewolf who works as sort of a supernatural cop.The romance between Fiona and Walker is set against a political situation and a murder mystery. The Others (i.e. shapeshifters, vampires, and the like) are trying to come out of the closet, so to speak, and are in negotiations for their civil rights with human politicians. Threatening this is a series of murders that look like they've been committed by Others, though with Fiona's help, they discover demon involvement. And since demons must be summoned by sorcerers, Walker and Fiona have to find out who's doing the summoning before the negotiations are derailed.The mystery could have been handled a bit better, I think; I figured out who the villain was as soon as he popped up in the book, and I like to be tricked by my mysteries. Fiona is a spunky heroine, but she's not so spunky as to make me retch. I have a very low tolerance for spunky heroines, but Fiona is funny enough to sneak in under my radar. Walker is grumpy. Heh. I like him very muchly. The supporting characters could have been developed more; as they are, they're in danger of being characatures (Too Serious Alpha, Spunky Empowered Wife, etc).The book has its flaws, but the whole package comes together so charmingly that I can forgive the flaws and enjoy the hell out of it. The hot smut probably helps, too, heh.
    • 5/5
      I guess one of the reasons that I love Christine Warren’s book so much is that her “world” is populated with so many wonderful paranormal entities. There are Were-creatures, Vampires, Fae, Demons, Fiends and a wide assortment of humans that interact with them. Ms. Warren also has a wicked sense of humor and the ability to make you cry when there is heartbreak. I loved the interaction between Walker, a werewolf, and Fiona, a high Fae princess. Fiona is a good time girl just wanting to have some fun in the human world. Walker is a serious beta trying to keeping any terrible from happening while the negotiations between Other officials and the Humans are taking place. Neither realizes just how complicated their lives are about to get. I also enjoyed both of them coming to terms with the whole mate thing. I have a weakness for dominant alpha males that just want to keep their mates safe while they beat the stuffing out of the bad guys. I also like feisty females that can stand by there males and try to help with the Fiends that are trying to kill everything. There is a delightful cast of secondary characters some from earlier books and a few are new but all add a feel of family to the story. This is a nice addition to the Other series and I am certainly going to read the other books.

      This one was just o.k. Not as good as the first one but still held my attention. Story is good, romance is hot. I'm on to the next Christine Warren, Howl at the Moon.

      i loved Warner's recent books..... I just a hard time with this one. I struggled to finish it..tooo flippant
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this book, although it had a little more far fetched idea than the first book in this series. The further I embarked in this book, I found myself losing some interest in the suspenseful story line only because areas seemed to be more make believe than the story I normal read. I say make believe as if everything else with vampires and werewolves are believable. Ha! I did enjoy this story and I would recommend to read, but I would also suggest being prepared to accept some far fetched scenarios. As always, Christine Warren, did deliver an amazing love story of a love others would dream to have. Even for the strongest willed individuals you find yourself craving the love and devotion that Warrens characters deliver, and you find yourself wanting the kind of protection that Warren's werewolf mates provide in these story lines.
    • 4/5
      Fun paranormal romance - very very explicit, though. I do want both the previous book and the next one (I looked at both in the store). As a story, it's OK; as a romance, it's in the very explicit mode, which I find rather boring, but there are nice reasonably realistic obstacles reasonably realistically removed; as an urban fantasy universe, it's great. The setup is very much like Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, but better - richer, even in the one book I've read.
    • 4/5
      Second in the 'Others" series and much better than the first. This one seemed to flow better, was more interesting plot wise and developed the characters from the first novel even further, adding depth to them overall.
    • 4/5
      An interesting premise...Fiona, daughter of Queen Mab (Seelie Court) and King Dionnu (Useelie court) decides she's had enough court intrigue and politics and heads off to New York for a bit of a vacation...despite the fact that travel to human land are banned by her aunt, The Queen. She successfully slips out of her world and into the human realm and is almost immediately attacked by a demon and then saved by Tobias, a werewolf. This story is an interesting mix of the everyday "real" world, a separate magical world...and those places where the two mix. The basic gist of the story is that Fiona comes for a vacation...a little dancing, some good food, a little hankie panky and winds up stuck here, hunted by demons at what could be described as the worst time for this to happen...at a time when humans and otherkin of all kinds are negotiating otherkin rights. At a time when these negotiations are at a delicate place and where Tobias and his pack are working around the clock to ensure there are no "incidents" to ruin the negotiations. What you get in She's No Faerie Princess is just romping good fun with a minor mystery thrown in. Probably the best part of the book is the chemistry between Tobias and Fiona. They have a very Han Solo/Princess Lea kind of sexual tension/animosity between them (sorry, but that's what came to mind as I was reading through the book) that manages to be both humorous and annoying. I guess that's what happens when you throw a sexually liberated and extremely stubborn Faerie into a romantic paring with an [..] retentive, driven to protect werewolf. That's not all it's got...in this story you get Demons, Fiends, Witches, Werewolves (and a Werejaguar), heck you even get Demon Police...the number of twists in this novel, while somewhat predictable, are totally fun and She's no Faerie Princess has sex that actually manages to be "hot" and well placed...instead of the plot being used to bridge sex scenes, we got more plot with sex as a key component to making it all work out right. Overall, I give it four stars. She's No Faerie Princess is a light, easy read that is very entertaining. The female lead is feisty and while she must be rescued more than once...she's not a helpless damsel waiting helplessly to be rescued by the big, strong werewolf...I like that she was independent, strong-willed (read stubborn), and really just looking to have a good time. The only drawback I found was that at times, the overbearing "mine" mentality the author gave Tobias got a bit tired...we get it already; you don't have to beat us over the head with it. Other than that, a really entertaining, light read for those times when you just need a bit of fluff to entertain you.
    • 4/5
      I've been a fan of Christine Warren's books since I read her Fixed series at Ellora's Cave a few years back and I was so pleased when I heard she'd sold to NY. I was also happy to see some characters from her Fixed series featured. HOWEVER, even if I hadn't read the prior books, it wouldn't have mattered, she gave enough backstory and didn't feature them in a way that would have confused you if you haven't read her Fixed books (although you should really read Fur Fixed with Graham and Missy - my favorite of the series at EC) Fiona is a total pain in the booty but she's likeable too. I enjoyed reading about her character and I really loved the scenes with her pixie and imp. And Tobias - well, one of the reasons I love to read about werewolves (done right) is how very alpha and protective they can be. I thought Warren hit the right balance here. He's sexy and strong and smart and you know he's going to fall for Fiona in a big way but I thought the way they came together was believable (it *is* paranormal romance). I liked the magic and the world she's built and the chemistry was HOT! I wish there were more books about the Fae out there but in the mean time, check this one out because it's very satisfying.
    • 4/5
      Fiona is the niece of the queen of the Seelie Court but court intrigue is making her crazy and all she wants to do is get away for a vacation. Where better to take a vacation but the forbidden mortal world on the other side of the Manhattan gate? However, once she gets there Fiona finds something much deadlier than relaxation. Instead she is the victim of a demon attack. To the rescue is stressed out, overworked, underpaid (as in non-paid) werewolf Tobias Walker. He's got enough on his plate with dealing with negotiations of the coming out of the Others into the human world without a beautiful, caustic, distracting Sidhe Princess to contend with. But whenever Walker and Fiona touch spaks fly and magic is born from their kiss. Now they have to work together to save Manhatten from an infestation of killer demons which is easier than it sounds.She's No Faerie Princess is a good story wrapping together the worlds of demons, humans, weres, vamps and faerie. The heat between Fiona and Walker was well portrayed and I enjoyed both the romantic and action parts of the story. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this story to those who enjoy paranormal romances.
