  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;An empathic young nurse driven to help and heal others since childhood after watching her mother languish for months before finally succumbing to cancer, Aziza Lopez abhors cruelty and suffering in any form. When she is assigned comatose patient David Healey, Aziza is confronted with the depth of her abilities for the first time since her mother's death and has a chance to contribute to a patient's recovery when modern medicine fails. But can she convince anyone else outside of David's family that she knows who is responsible for his injury when she's finding it hard to deal with the knowledge herself?  &lt;P&gt;The youngest of five brothers, David Healey comes from a close-knit, no-nonsense family of psychics and shapeshifters. He has never suffered fools-or demanding, jealous girlfriends-lightly. But on the eve of a bitter break-up he realizes he is about to suffer a woman scorned when he glimpses his ex behind the wheel of a car careening towards him.  &lt;P&gt;Now Aziza and David are in a race to pull him out of his coma before Aziza's vengeful stepmother can get to him and finish the job she started on a dark road. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Genre: &lt;/STRONG&gt;Erotic Paranormal Fairy Tale (Urban Fantasy, Light BDSM, Interracial, Shape-shifting)- [contains graphic sexual content and adult language] &lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Length:&lt;/STRONG&gt; Novella (15,000 words)&lt;BR&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;4.5 Flags: &lt;/B&gt;&quot;Gracie C. McKeever delivers another fantastic paranormal tale of intrigue! &lt;I&gt;Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess &lt;/I&gt;is a quick read that has an easygoing flow to it. In the beginning of the book, what I noticed was the establishment of the characters' voices. Aziza speaks with slang while David is acting in a way befitting to his upper crust upbringing. This is most certainly a well written new-styled fairy tale. One thing is for sure, when you read a Gracie C. McKeever book: you-ll always get a delightfully crafted story with her guaranteed special twist! If you haven-t read a title by the author you are missing out. &lt;I&gt;Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess &lt;/I&gt;is one book that I unquestionably recommend.&quot; -&lt;B&gt;Chantay, &lt;I&gt;Euro Reviews&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;4 Hearts: &lt;/B&gt;&quot;With different slang and fewer modern day references, a reader might imagine that they were reading any one of Grimm-s Fairy Tales with a decidedly sexy bent. Ms. McKeever has drawn elements from several traditional fairy tales and given them her own trademark twist. Who would have ever though that the big bad wolf would turn out to be a hero? Or that Sleeping Beauty would be male? Because it is presented as a fantasy tale, this reviewer was immediately able to suspend any sense of reality and enjoy this bon-bon of a tale simply for what it was - another fantastic story by the great Ms. McKeever. Aziza and David are an extremely likeable pair and the reader will find themselves rooting for them as one does a favorite sports team. Their sexual chemistry is absolutely combustible, and David-s grandfather is a hoot! The only complaint this reviewer had about this tale is that it was too short, though the story was definitely complete! Recommended to all fairy tale lovers!&quot; -&lt;B&gt;Leah, &lt;I&gt;Love Romances and More&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;4 Stars: &lt;/B&gt;&quot;This adult fairy tale is a cross between Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. David and Aziza instantly connect at the fundraiser; both know by instinct that they belong together. Aziza is a strong woman who does not take anything from anybody including David. David is a man who is used to being in charge and getting what he wants. It was wonderful to read about Aziza and David finding their happily ever after. Ms. McKeever has written an excellent fairy tale.&quot; -&lt;B&gt;Racine, &lt;I&gt;Ecataromance&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;-&lt;/P&gt;</default_description>
