Once upon a time…he was the most handsome of princes. But now he’s a lonely legend, hobbled by dark history. With too many dead in his wake, Bluebeard escapes through the evil spell of alcohol. But it’s a far different kind of spell that’s been ruining his life for centuries. Jodi Walters is a fixer, someone who can put magic back in order. But Blue has a problem she’s never encountered. And worse, she finds herself perilously attracted to him.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

I normally would not have chosen a book about fairy tale characters in the present day. I found the whole premise unbelievable. There were some corny lines and references, but this book wasn’t poorly written–just not my style.

The story is about Bluebeard & how it relates to a real-life stalker. Jodi is from the Kingdoms and is descended from chatelaines. She is a “fixer”. She helps other magical beings navigate the entertainment industry & helps them find acting gigs.

When Bluebeard is suspected of being the stalker, Tankbell–NOT Tinkerbell–approaches Jodi for help. From the there, the story gets a bit convoluted, in my opinion. It does have a happy ending, which I always like!

It was a chaste little novel that fairy tale fans would enjoy.
