| Sheridan Yonker first believes in fairies when she captures then releases one, never dreaming he is a prince and that one day he would save her cancer riddled sister Tina, and become her sister's mate. On her deathbed Tina was saved by the King of fairies, who also saves his son from a life in a dungeon for loving a human.
The King of fairies uses his magical ways and obliges Sheridan to live with Barachus and Dresden fairy mates and the Kings Guard in their world until she returns to her world. In her teens, something bad happened to Sheridan. She finally felt safe living with the two brutish fairies in the fairy world because she thought they were gay. That was until certain events happen. When she returns to her world, Dresden feels something is wrong. Sheridan's life changes once more. Anna Leigh Keaton delivers a real tear jerker with this novel. From the first paragraph you're hooked, you want to know what the characters are going through. There were moments where I was uncertain of certain vocabulary and movements. However, they were implemented in a way that you understood the reasoning used. You sense the tribulations as you travel through the two worlds, and you're rooting for them. Even though Sheridan is strong minded you can sense her youth and vulnerability in certain events that take place. Gay, bisexual, explicit activity is especially present and intimate in an extremely sensual way between both Barachus and Dresden. The way Sheridan and Tina are brought into the Fairy world is nicely implemented, showing a definite difference between both worlds. Both women are very contemporary and the fairies are incredibly ancient in their own way. The sensual moments are between m/m and m/f/m. Several intricate pieces of the novel are a pleasure to read.
