Fairy Godmother Rule Number One: Never
argue with a client. As long as someone’s willing to pay for
them, dancing elephants, solid-gold princes, and fifty-foot high
stacks of down-filled mattresses are perfectly fine requests. And never,
under any circumstances, point out when a client is being an idiot.
With this introduction Jennifer Wardell takes us on a delightful journey through the Kingdom of Somewhere in her book, Fairy Godmothers Inc.
With this introduction Jennifer Wardell takes us on a delightful journey through the Kingdom of Somewhere in her book, Fairy Godmothers Inc.
For
Kate, being a Fairy Godmother isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There’s
the flammable blue tulle skirt, all that pesky
paperwork, the manual of standard operating procedures, corporate politics (Who
knew?), a dreadful boss named Bubbles, and clients with impossible demands.
At Fairy Godmothers Inc., Kate’s latest assignment is to see that Cinderella marries her prince. There’s a deadline. A lot is riding on this particular contract, and Bubbles declares that it’s in Kate’s best interests to see that it’s fulfilled with a maximum of efficiency, as well as a bit of glitter.
The prince in question is
the eldest son, hapless, harmless Rupert Devlin Golden Montclaire Charming: “square-jawed, golden-haired,
and a reputation for being
what PR departments commonly refer to as a ‘rake.’” But
Prince Rupert hasn’t been kept in the Cinderella loop; in a sudden departure from his
usual rakish behavior, he’s MIA, on a quest of self-actualization (but first he
must learn what big words mean) and his brother Jon must cover in his absence.
That would be the sensible and capable second son, Prince Jonathan Alistair Crispin Lorimer
Charming, accompanied by Lawton, his loyal and brilliant right-hand man with a
fondness for good sherry.
With a
nod to A Midsummer Night’s Dream (remember,
“The course of true love never did run smooth”), affairs of the heart in
the Kingdom of Somewhere get hopelessly tangled, and it’s up to Fairy
Godmother Kate, her intern Ned, Prince Jon and Lawton to untangle the Royal
Family from the ensuing mess and see that a proper bit of matchmaking ensues.
And of
course there are shoes. Many, many shoes. What’s a Cinderella story without
shoes? Jennifer Wardell's Fairy Godmothers Inc. is a light-hearted, fast-paced, laugh-out-loud, engagingly funny romp through a bit of fairytale madness.
