Summary: Utterly Sweet!
Review: Priceless is the first word that comes to mind to describe Karen Fox's new book BUTTERCUP BABY.

The Fae never have children and Ariel, the heroine, rarely wondered about it too much. She had never seen children; so she really didn't care until she was banished and later sent on a task in the mortal world. It was then she saw a child; a lovely baby, sweet, soft and smiling up at her. That was when she fell in love and decided she wanted one of her own. There was one problem, okay two. First, she needed someone to impregnate her and second, once she had found him, he wasn't so eager to do it.

As you can imagine, it is a funny roller coaster after that and Ariel has to rethink her tactics just a little. Then there is the pregnancy, her magic, Rand "the hero" and his family (and boy, he has a lot of family!) and some interfering friends. Magic and Mayhem for sure but something you won't want to miss.

It brings tears to your eyes and makes you hope for more - like the story of their child for example! This book in Jove's Magical Love line is nothing short of a keeper. Priceless, just as I said...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic paranormal romance
Review: Queen of the Fae Titania bans from court subordinate Queen of the Pillywiggins Ariel for daring to defend Robin Goodfellow to her Highness. Though upset after centuries of loyalty to Titania, Ariel realizes she crossed the line because the biased Titania hates all half-breed Fae. Still King Oberon eases some of Ariel's anger and hurt by asking her to check up on his grandson while she is in the mortal plane.

In the realm of the Fae, babies just do not exist so Ariel is surprised by her reaction to seeing the infant. She wants her own baby and she chooses a friend of the Goodfellow family Rand Thayer as the sire. Not knowing the ways of humans, Ariel bluntly asks Rand to father a child with her. He rejects the idea at first, but soon cannot resist their attraction. However, a pregnant Ariel causes unique problems when her hormones go wild.

BUTTERCUP BABY is a humorous fantasy romance starring two warm characters. The essence of this tale and its predecessor (see Prince Charming) is that the audience believe in the realm of the Fae so that everything that occurs to and done by Ariel works in support of that concept. The fun story line provides the audience with humorous escapist material but also contains a serious subtle sub-theme of prejudice against an entire subspecies that stands as a reminder to the reader that Arab-Americans must be allowed and encouraged to join in our collective grieving.

Summary: A good read on a rainy afternoon
Review: The premise is amusing and Karen Fox follows through on it very well. I especially enjoyed the little touches like the green jello scene, and the hiccuping flowers. Her heroine is believable, even taking into account that she's a fae, and her hero is delightful.

Summary: So very magical
Review: This book is like sunshine in a bottle... well in a book! Ariel used to be the queen of Pillywiggins, until she decided to defend one of her few friends (if not her only) and son of Oberon, Robin (Prince of Chanrming). Then Titania banishes her from her court leaving Ariel without a purpose. That is until she is sent by Oberon to see how his grandson (Robin's boy) is doing. And thats when everything goes haywire. Suddenly she wants to have a baby to fill the empityness in her and she decided that Rand Thayer would be the perfect man to father her child. But things go in a downward spiral as he refuses to do so, then she tricks him, then her magic goes chaotic on her, and she cant return home until the baby is born... or at least thats what she thinks! This was a very sweet book and the characters are so well crafted you feel like you actually know them. And Ariel's naivette is so sweet and real (given that she is a faery) that she gives you a heartwarming feeling! I highly recommend the book! Plus there's a bonus love story in it, which i wish i could have seen in more detail but none the less was beautiful and sweet! In short this book charmed my socks off!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fairies & Humans...
Review: This is a sweet light story about Ariel, a lonely exiled queen of the flower fairies & her attempt to get herself pregnant so that she can be needed and have a purpose in life again. She picks out Rand a very handsome and kind man, & asks him to impregnate her! Needless to say her plans don't go exactly as she wishes.
I won't say more just that it's a well written light read And I couldn't put it down

Read Karen Fox's Somewhere My Love, it's a very well written Sci/fi story. Get it from the library if you must!
