With Christine Warren, you have to be careful you know which book you've got. Although this is new, it is also an older book re-worked that fits in around book 3, rather than as book 10.
This is the full-length novel version of her erotic short "Faer Fetched" from her "Fixed" series.
Since I haven't read that one, I'm not sure where the different parts are, but I have read a few of her "fixed" series, and let's just say that woman writes amazing erotica!

This was a high 3 star. This book is sort of a prequel to the main series. I think she is going back and reworking and reissueing older short stories that were only in ebook before the series hit the mass market world. So maybe not a prequel to her but to readers. The story was well written and made sense. No glaring errors or absurdities like the last mass market which came out. The characterization was okay. You knew who the people were without knowing too much of their backstories. You didn'...more

This is more of a 3 1/2 star book. :-)
Danice Carter is a lawyer working at a prestigious law firm in Manhattan, and she's given an assignment by the senior partner that might help land her a junior partnership if she can find his pregnant granddaughter and find out who the father of her unborn child is. When she makes arrangements to meet with Rosemary out in Connecticut, Rosemary is a no-show. She ends up encountering a very sexy private eye (Mac Callahan), who is also looking for the missing...more

For those that have read the Ellora's Cave series The Others is based on, this book isn't really an expansion of Faer Fetched (Fantasy Fix #3). Rather, it's a total rewrite. The story features Danice, a lawyer, and Mac, a half-Fae Changeling. That's about where the similarities end. :D
Entertaining read despite a few problems. Nothing spectacular here and not really anything that adds to overall The Other universe. (Except maybe a curse cast on another character at the end of the book.) I didn't...more

For starters, this is one of Ms. Warren's re-writes based on her [ebook only] Faer Fetched - part of the original Fantasy Fix ebook series which gave birth to the whole Others series of print books. She is now rewriting the ebooks to include with her print books, generally lengthening them and smoothing out plot kinks to make them 'work' better as novels and as part of world of the Others as it has developed. With the first two, Fantasy Fix and Fur Factor, the changes were in details and added s...more
I've been following Warren's Others Series for a while and I have liked it very much so far. However...............this books left me confused. The plot was clear and followed along with the rest of the series, but here is where my issue lies: Danice Carter's physical description was quite murky. I was so caught up in trying to figure out what she looked like that I kept having to go back a few pages every ten minutes or so. The descriptions of McIntyre Callahan were spot on. I could totally pic...more
Ok. Here's the thing. I was a big Christine Warren fan, loving pretty much everything she had written. At least up until the last few books. I loathed Ava, her book, her story, the whole works. And the last one about the vet was a complete bore. This one fell somewhere in between the two.

This series has been one of my favorite paranormal series ever since the first book. It is different from all the other paranormal series out there.
I really liked Danice, she is someone that has a goal, and plans on reaching that goal. She has no time for anything other than her career, because her goal is to make partner in the law firm that she works for. So when she is summoned to the most senior partner in her firms office and given an assignment, even though she hates it, she will do it. Da...more

The GR description seems to be from the original Ellora's Cave short story that inspired this very revised novel. That short story was pretty forgettable, so of all the revisions CW has done with this series, this one makes the most sense to me.
Overall, it is light and entertaining. It had some continuity errors and occasional TSTL behavior from the heroine (especially in the vicinity of chapter 14), but she was otherwise pretty smart. I do wish there had been more depth and development to Mac...more

Danice Carter, sharp and determined up-and-coming lawyer, and hunky half Fae private investigator MacIntyre (Mac) Callahan both need to find the same missing woman. Their hunt will draw Danice even further into the world of the Others - two of her friends already have Other mates. When Danice and Mac's search leads them into the land of the Fae, failure suddenly doesn't mean that Danice will simply risk losing a chance at a junior partnership in her prestigious firm, the consequences are potenti...more
While I typically enjoy Ms. Warren's series about The Others, this particular installment felt . . . rushed? And not in that "You have to suspend belief because the book is less than 400 pages long and who falls in love with a supernatural being in just a week" kind of rush, but in that "Let's just get this sub-story over with" kind of rush.
Maybe I just couldn't connect with the characters, as attractive as their appearances and personalities are described, or maybe it's the pregnancy hormones...more

My four-sentence or less take on the plot: Danice Carter is a lawyer who is strong-armed in to hunting down the missing daughter of her boss. McIntyre Callahan is a half-Fae private eye. Events occur.
Rating: DNF
What worked: This is my first DNF review, so not much.
What didn't: Danice is an incredibly stupid character. She makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake in this book. People tell her to be quiet in front of fae royalty, instead, she constantly shoots off her mouth. Mac spends a lot of t...more

I have been following this series for the last couple of years and while I didn't love this book as much as some of the others, it's still a very solid book in the series. It's not as "hot" as the other books in the series and the chemistry between the lead characters was not as fully developed as it should have been in order to make this book stand out in the series but the plot moved at a good pace and the story itself was interesting. Those who follow the series know that the author is taking...more
This book was certainly a twist. In a good way.
I had been meaning to read something romantic, mainly because I was sooooooo frustrated about waiting till March 29th [TODAY] for J.R. Ward's next novel to come out.
And so this book caught my eye and I was on the verge of a meltdown for a good romance- So I gave it a shot.
And I was not disappointed.
Ladies, no vampires or werewolves or any of the typical sort.

Danice is one of the girlfriends in the Fantasy Fix group. A high achiever looking to make partner in her law firm, she thought the assignment from the senior partner would get her there. The assignment? To find out who got the senior partner's granddaughter pregnant and sue the guy. But then the granddaughter went missing and she bumped heads (and other body parts) with half-Fae P.I. Mac.
Now I'm all for a girl wanting to advance her career, but somehow I don't think many would risk their life t...more

Prince Charming Doesn’t Live Here by Christine Warren is another sizzling addition to The Others series. Occurring after Regina and Missy’s books, but before Ava’s, we see strong, confident Danice battle wits with half-fae, but wholly delicious, Mac. They don’t fight their attraction very hard, so we get to really see them interact as a couple instead of catching a glimpse right before the end of the book. More than that, they fit as a couple. There is never a point when one party has to sacrifi...more
I really like 'The Others' series but this one didn't do it for me. I didn't connect with the characters. I think there was so much focus on finding Rosemary and not enough on the developing relationship that I never connected with them as a couple. This was about one of the original set of 5 friends, so while this is supposed to be book 10 this is really like book 3 since these friends have already met their match in later books. Anyway, I like the interaction of these friends but there was ver...more
This is Danice and McIntyre Callahan's story. Danice is one of the original five friends. I am not sure I read the original book I will have to go back and check. This story gives a look at the Winter Court or the Unseelie. I am not sure I would want anything to do with the king of this group. They seem a little evil if you ask me. I was glad to get a little more information on the Fae. Ms. Warren hasn't written many books about them. The chemistry between Mac and Danice is the amazing. It was f...more
Well, I think that Christine messed with a good thing (don't they say not to do that?) She kept the characters names and barely anything else. It wasn't a bad read, but I had the original ebooks from Elloras Cave so I am biased. And by biased I mean upset that she turned her original work into something unrecognizable. I really hope she doesn't do that with next in the series titled Not Your Ordinary Faerie Tale which is Fighting Faer (Luc & Corine). I am upset that its being titled everywhe...more
I've been reading Christine Warren for a long time. I always like her books but don't always love them. This story I had a rough time getting into. When I did then the story moved but I still have to say it's not a favorite. I did like both Danice Carter and MyIntyre (Mac) Cullahan. Both brought something to the story. I even liked Quigley. The end of the book was the best part to me. I felt that it was missing something in the middle. It was light on story. I would still read it so you keep up...more
Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here is a return to strong plot lines and intriguing characters. Attorney Danice Carter is drafted by her senior partner to deal with his wayward granddaughter. In the course of her quest, Danice encounters PI McIntyre Callahan, a changeling. Half-human, half-fae, Mac finds himself stuck in the last place he ever wanted to be--the Unseelie Court in the land of Faerie. With Danice. Twists, turns, and an ugly family reunion all compound Neicie and Mac's road to true lo...more

Christine Warren's Other series is definitely an interesting one. Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here, now follows Danice, yet another member of the group of ladies we first saw in One Bite with a Stranger. It seems that each of them will be hooking up with an Other. Kind of odd, but hey, that's what happens in fiction, so it doesn't really matter to me!

I really like this series The Others. This story didn't captivate me as much as Missy, Ava, or Reggie's stories did, but it didn't stop me from reading this book in one day.
Christine Warren is a fun author and you can easily get into the lives of the characters. Maybe that's why this one didn't sit well with me because there was no girls night. I love all the girls together helping each other. I can't wait to get another book from the series because I know I haven't read them all yet.

Not my favourite of the series. A slow plot and lack of chemistry between the leads made it hard for me to get into the book. I liked the faerie politics and felt that could have been more developed. I would also have liked more secondary characters. Finally, the resolution was quite rushed; Danice should have had a meeting with the senior partners or something like along those lines to give the book (and the inciting incident) more closure.
Final comment: who was the Prince Charming??

This book is a hard book for me to rate. There were moments in the book that I loved it, but overall there were such huge characterization flaws to the story, that I simply could not give it a good rating. Danice is supposedly one of the top lawyers in the city, but then she acts completely without thinking...it just doesn't add up and really takes a LOT away from what could have been a really good story.
This book was very hard to keep interest in. I love this series and author but this particular book was not very good in my opinion.
It is about Danice Carter a lawyer at a prestegious firm who is asked to find the granddaughter of the senior partner. That is the oddest thing for a lawyer to do. Of course she does the request in order to keep her job. And meets a private detective who just happens to be looking for said granddaughter too. The private detective McIntyre Callahan has been hired by...more

Born and raised in coastal New England, Christine Warren lived in the South and the Mid-Atlantic before hopping to the other side of the country to take up the life of a transplant in the Pacific Northwest. She completely bypassed those states in the middle due to her landlocking phobia. Hmm, need to research a scientific term for that...
