    About this audiobook

    Danice Carter is not one for glass slippers. A stilettos-wearing lawyer at one of Manhattan's most elite establishments, Danice has a very strong grip on reality. So when she's asked by one the firm's founding partners to take on a personal case, Danice knows she's in for the opportunity of a lifetime. All she has to do is convince her top boss's granddaughter, Rosemary, to file a paternity suit. Sounds simple enough...until Danice arrives at Rosemary's home and is pounced on by a handsome stranger.

    Private investigator McIntyre Callahan was only following his powerful client's orders: Find Rosemary-at all costs. Instead, he's found a super-hot lawyer prowling around looking for answers he can't give. The half-human, half-Fae Mac tries to warn Danice that she's way in over her head-that Rosemary may roam among the Others, and may have dangerous ties to the Unseelie Court-but she won't be deterred. Even if that means following Mac to the ends of the earth to find Rosemary...or surrendering to his supernatural powers of temptation...until death do they part.

    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.

      Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here
      2 Stars

      On assignment from her boss to locate his wayward granddaughter, Danice Carter has no idea that she is about to have a close encounter with a hunky PI with ties to the Others. McIntyre “Mac” Callahan is a Changeling, half-human and half-tae, hired by a mysterious Other to track down Danice’s client. Soon these two unlikely allies will have to work together to survive the machinations of some rather vicious Fae …

      Prince Charming Doesn’t Live Here is another of Warren’s novel length re-writes of a novella first written for the Fixed series. Similar to the first two attempts, the plot is mediocre and the characterization virtually non-existent. There is also absolutely no connection between the title and the contents of the book.

      While there is sufficient foundation for Danice and Mac to be interesting characters (Danice’s struggles with her ethnicity and her job, and Mac’s issues with the Fae side of his nature are both promising plot points), neither is adequately fleshed out. Moreover, their relationship lacks chemistry and their sudden “I Love Yous” makes no sense at it is unclear what exactly they see in each other.

      The journey into Faerie storyline also has potential but develops too slowly, and Danice has a bad case of “foot-in-mouth” disease and TSTL syndrome once they get there. That said, the climax is well-written and exciting, but the ending returns one again to the realm of the boring and the mundane.

      All in all, an uninspired addition to the series.

      paranormal, urban-fantasy, romance, fae Interracial lady attorney joins up with interspecies Fae private detective to track down a grown brat who finds herself lost in a world she doesn't believe exists. Interesting and fun, sometimes a trifle scary, but generally a good read for escape.
    • 3/5
      I like this series, but it can be hard to read. The books are not in chornological order. This book takes place before Ava is turned into a vampire. This is not one of the best books I have by Christine Warren. I just didn't think the story was nearly as good. Not ambad reas, though.
    • 4/5
      This is Danice and McIntyre Callahan's story. Danice is one of the original five friends. I am not sure I read the original book I will have to go back and check. This story gives a look at the Winter Court or the Unseelie. I am not sure I would want anything to do with the king of this group. They seem a little evil if you ask me. I was glad to get a little more information on the Fae. Ms. Warren hasn't written many books about them. The chemistry between Mac and Danice is the amazing. It was fun seeing them come to terms with their relationship. I was a little disappointed that there was so much space given to past stories at the end of the book. It felt like the publishers was trying to make space for a bigger book.
    • 2/5
      Well, I think that Christine messed with a good thing (don't they say not to do that?) She kept the characters names and barely anything else. It wasn't a bad read, but I had the original ebooks from Elloras Cave so I am biased. And by biased I mean upset that she turned her original work into something unrecognizable. I really hope she doesn't do that with next in the series titled Not Your Ordinary Faerie Tale which is Fighting Faer (Luc & Corine). I am upset that its being titled everywhere as story #12 when its really supposed to be #5 (after Black Magic Woman). The order is frustrating but after re-reading Big Bad Wolf (to make myself remember why I like her writing in the first place) I will continue to read the series unless she does the same to that novel as she did to Prince Charming.
    • 4/5
      The original version of this story was an Ellora's Cave Quickie (Faer Fetched? I'd have to look it up, I haven't read it in years). That short story was pretty forgettable, so of all the revisions CW has done with this series, this one makes the most sense to me. Overall, it is light and entertaining. It had some continuity errors and occasional TSTL behavior from the heroine (especially in the vicinity of chapter 14), but she was otherwise pretty smart. I do wish there had been more depth and development to Mac and Danice's relationship; like the initial version, the story seems to start when the book ends.Rant: When I think of Christine Warren, at her best, I think of words like charming, light-hearted, sexy. When I look at the cover of this book, I think confused and possibly has-the-flu. Neither image seems to have anything to do with the story and there are what? 5 different typefaces used? I'm guessing this was a result of cover design by committee. Not sure who on CW's pub team okayed this cover, but they're not doing her any favors.
