Blurb
When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a
tree, it reveals a secret about himself and his mother's side of the family
that could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed
in fairy tales.
Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at
Waverly Park and left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all
because of his blasted wheelchair.
Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he
must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but
everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

My review
A very nice surprise indeed...
4.5 magical stars!
Hotness factor: my favorite line "You'd propose, just like any man. Marry her. Make her miserable, and send her home to America with her title."...got it!
I received a copy of this novel as a giveaway win so when I found out they were having a review tour I signed up. The length was perfect for a nice satisfying read. I kept laughing at Tristan's thoughts on women which were pretty much the ones of the times. Just silly being creatures and thinking might be bad for us! I loved it... We proved them wrong, didn't we...
I won't say much about the plot to avoid spoilers but I highly recommend it. It covered action, romance, mystery, fantasy. I can't wait to read the second installment :)
