About the Book:
She didn’t want to be alone at the most wonderful time of the year. When he shows up, she may decide to rethink that…
London, England. Charlotte Connors is tired of asking for a man, only to find coal in her stocking. Emboldened by a little liquid courage, she gives up on Father Christmas and uses her grandmother’s old book to summon a faerie plus-one for the holiday party. But when against all odds it actually works, Charlotte finds herself face-to-face with a foul-mouthed, hungover hitman.
Bain was looking to sleep it off after taking revelling to new heights at the Winter Solstice. Instead, the acerbic assassin is stuck with a naïve, pathetic human who doesn’t even have a target in mind. But since she owes him a favour if he does her bidding, the clever killer strikes a deal that will allow him to finally take revenge for a broken contract.
Though he gets under her skin with each four-letter word, Charlotte can’t help being drawn to her temporary paranormal paramour. But just as Bain starts to fall for the foolish mortal, he discovers the object of his vengeance is her boss.
Can this mismatched pair somehow snowball into happily ever after?
All I Want for Christmas is a Faerie Assassin?! is a cheerful romantic comedy novella. If you like modern takes on folktales, humorous otherworldly fantasies and Yuletide wishes gone crazy then you’ll love H. L. Macfarlane’s festive tale
My Review:
All I Want for Christmas is a Faerie Assassin?! is a fun holiday romcom. Sometimes you really have to be careful what your wish for. Charlotte has has long run of bad relationships so she uses an book of fairytale spells to summon up a date. She expects a nice faerie to act as her new boyfriend just through the holidays. What she gets is a faerie assassin with a sailor's mouth.
Bain is trying to sleep off a drunken Winter Solstice when he's suddenly summoned. Thinking he's needed to bump someone off, Bain is surprised to find he's really been summoned to play house. It's not all bad though. He can now exact revenge for a previously broken contract.
Pairing a straight-laced human with a foul-mouthed faerie is comic genius. Adding in slow-burning sparks, affection, and a sleazy boss rounds out this book rather nicely. I loved Bain and Charlotte separate and adored them together. The story is short, sweet, and fun. The characters and world are well-written and well-developed. A must read!
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
