Present day fairy tales with a twist...What do a mermaid, a centaur, a phoenix and a fairy have in common?Absolutely nothing except that each are featured in a story of this book and each have to deal with a rather incredulous love interest as their greatest hope.Like the self-proclaimed geek and pop-culture loving Dane who's a bit flummoxed to find out that the love of his life has a tail, complete with scales, and enjoys a swim or two here and there.Or the practical Chloe who's more convinced she's hallucinating than seeing an actual centaur. Poor Max has his work cut out for him to get through that level of denial.Or the phoenix, Chuck, who shares a penchant for witty repartee with his human, Sasha. Birds of a feather...And lastly but certainly not least, the fairy, Fallon, who's tall for his species, thank you kindly (his human, Julie, makes the mistake of calling him 'tiny').Welcome to the "Modern Day Fairy Tales for the Fairy Tale Jaded", where fantasy and sarcasm collide
