Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Kim and a big bad shifter called Liam - only the girl was a strong minded lawyer and the shifter was not really that bad. 
 And he used to have a castle in Ireland but now he lived in a very small, poor home somewhere in US and loved drinking Guinness. 
 Oh yes, and he had never been kissed, but when finally Kim kissed him, he did not become prince or frog - he just loved her more. 
 And there were fae, not nice fae who used magic to make shifters suffer. 
 And there were also stupid humans who were afraid of shifters and made them live in shifters' towns isolated and discriminated. 
 What a wonderful fairytale and what a wonderful world the writer has created - but I did not expect anything less from Jennifer Ashley.
