Nurse Aziza Lopez finds herself at the mercy of her wicked stepmother Philomena since the death of her beloved father.  Enigmatic David Healey, Philomena’s current “friend with benefits”, meets the lovely Aziza and recognizes her immediately as his mate.  Infuriated by the perceived betrayal of her lover choosing her stepdaughter over her, Philomena commits a heinous crime against David.  As he struggles for his life, Aziza is there not only to nurse his body, but also to call to his soul.  Will these two lovers find their happily ever after? 

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!
