Love this book

This is a contemporary story dealing with some pretty interesting issues that face successful single women: friendships, relationships, who they can trust and who's trying to take advantage. The writing style is pacey and engaging and the plot wonderfully glamorous with an unexpected twist at the end. I loved the fact that the heroine is in her forties: this age group (mine) is under-represented in modern fiction and I totally related to the way she felt and the choices she made. I raved about this one to my book club and we've decided to put it on our summer reading list. I am expecting some pretty animated discussions!

From J. Kaye's Book Blog

Cate McCormack at age forty-six is a successful author. Her book is being made into a film by Wyatt Productions. She's been invited by Jack Wyatt to meet the director of the movie in Venice. Having had a string of bad relationships, she's about given up on love completely when she meets Andrei Siwek. Thanks to some fancy manipulating from her lifelong friend and personal assistant, Caroline Harrison, Cate won't be going alone on her trip. Andrei, who is fourteen years her junior, will be attending as her bodyguard. It's a job he takes seriously. As their relationship evolves, both have their own personal demons to contend with, not to mention the media barking at their heals. In this beautiful love story, the reader will wonder up until the last pages whether or not these two will overcome the obstacles in their path and find happiness with each other. K. T. Casha understands the sweet vanity of the forty-something woman in this novel about self-discovery and love.

The truth about fairy tales

Fantastic feelgood romance for the modern woman - wonderful locations, interesting friends and an unexpected ending; what more could you want from a novel? K T Casha has a total grip on the problems faced by the older, single woman in society today and provides not only an escapist romp but also a thoughtful conclusion that could provide many women with a guide to dealing with the ups and downs of dating in 2008. I would thoroughly recommend this novel and have, in fact, given it to ten of my closest friends as Christmas presents!!

A great romantic novel for leisure and pleasure!

"The Truth About Fairy Tales" first caught my attention because the synopsis of the book mentioned Venice. I was on the design team for Venetian hotel and casino in Las Vegas and I am fond of Venice. "The Truth About Fairy Tales" is a great romantic novel set in some of the most beautiful cities in the world: Venice, Southern France, London and Hollywood. Beautiful and sexy Cate McCormack's has made it as a successful novelist, but deep in her heart, she still feels some emptiness, until she meets two important men of her life, Jack Wyatt and Andrei Siwek. Jack is a wealthy American producer. Andrei is a handsome young man who works near Cate's flat in London. Jack and Andrei both like Cate and vie for her love. Adding to the mix are Annie and Kasia. Annie is Jack's young and pretty assistant, who is attracted to Andrei. Kasia was Andrei's gorgeous former girl friend. Media attention, fragile self-esteem, friendship, love, and jealousy mingle together and create a series of intriguing events. Will Cate choose Jack or Andrei? Will Andrei go back to Kasia? You have to read the novel to find out. I also like the modest landscape theme of the book cover design. You can carry this steamy romantic novel around and read it in any public places without feeling embarrassed. "The Truth About Fairy Tales" has 404 pages. It is a modern tale of a search for true love and a fascinating novel that explores romance and sexuality. It is a great read for leisure and pleasure!
