Publisher Description
Once upon a time, Prince Charming fell in love with Sleeping Beauty's lawyer…
Mysterious, handsome wizard Aethelstan Blackstone hires beautiful, hardworking attorney Nora Barr to get a restraining order to protect Sleeping Beauty from her evil stepmother. But if Sleeping Beauty is supposed to be his soul mate, then how come he's becoming bewitched by Nora?
And when Nora finds herself baby-sitting a clueless maiden from the Middle Ages, avoiding a very wicked witch, and falling hard for a man whose magic she doesn't believe in , she begins to think that love itself is only a fairy tale. . .
Welcome to a fairy tale world — where the road to happily ever after is a bumpy one!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Originally published in 2000, the second visit to Grayson's fractured fairy tale world (after Wickedly Charming) is just as endearing as the first. Emma, the legendary Sleeping Beauty, is caught in the middle of a vicious custody battle between her evil witch mentor, Ealhswith, and her "Prince," wizard Aethelstan Blackstone. Aethelstan enlists the help of down-on-her-luck lawyer Nora Barr, who is hesitant to get involved in the world of magic. When Emma finally wakes, the reunion doesn't go as planned. Angry at losing the last 1,000 years of her life, Emma wants nothing to do with Blackstone or Ealhswith and asks for Nora's protection and help navigating the modern world but all Nora can think about is her attraction to handsome Aethelstan. Grayson (science fiction author Kristine Kathryn Rusch) uses smooth prose and humorous, human characters to create a delightful, breezy tale perfect for anyone who truly enjoys happy endings.
Customer Reviews
Enchanting!
Wonderfully enchanting! I was excited to see this book again after having read it years ago. I am even more happy to see that the series is slowly being published as Ebooks as well. An original view of storybook characters before it was popular. All I can say is "More Please!"
Where's the romance?
It just started at the end of the book. Too much magic spells and fighting.
