The author knows how to write super fluffy love stories that balance with a bit of drama to give a Lifetime feel that’s easy to dive into and get lost in. The Fairy Shop is total Tara Lain reading candy for the holidays and I enjoyed every sweet little nibble.

NOTE: The first edition of this book was provided by XXX for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews. Thanks, Tara, for a delightful holiday story. Tara’s characters are often not who they seem to be, giving the story breadth that it would not have otherwise, as well as delightful surprises. I love the way that Tara puts her characters in seemingly impossible positions, then helps them find a way to overcome them. The thing is, Nate can’t seem to stop thinking about him. Delly would have been terrified of the guy due to an incident with his ex-wife’s very loud, very drunk boyfriend that has left Delly terrorized. Nate is disappointed, but realizes that even if they had gotten together, nothing could have come of it. He makes eye contact with him, but they don’t interact. Nate spots a big, masculine guy who definitely gets Nate’s motor running. He leaves Delly with his next-door neighbor and heads to the local bar. The one bright spot in his unsuccessful marriage is his daughter, Delly.Īs much as he loves Delly, Nate is desperate for some adult time. Nate Hawthorne, of ‘The Fairy Shop’ by Tara Lain, has been through a lot, including a failed marriage that ended when he came out as gay.
