“Everyone can use a good Faery Tale and this is chock full of them. Spanning a thousand years of magic, the original and creative faery stories are light and delightful. Even the titles are fun; Faery Much in Love, Faery Good Advice, and, my favorite, Faeries of the Caribbean, and more, and all are Faery Special Romances.
Jacquie Rogers is a bit of a Faery Godmother herself; the author's royalties go to the Childrens Tumor Foundation, ending Neurofibromatosis through research.

A Faery Good Book
Faery Special Romances is a treat, especially if you like faeires mixed with your romance. Ten stories brimming with exuberant love of life, the author’s wonderful imagination, and best of all each story features its own faery. And Keely. Jacquie Rogers created Keely, faery of the Rainbow Clan, with her debut in the No Law Against Love anthology by Highland Press. The stories in Faery Special Romances span the ages, beginning in 1199 and ending in the future, Shortly after the Frozen Time. The author did her research, because the stories flowed no matter what era she was writing about, Medieval, Regency or flapper. Sometimes the faeries were male, and sometimes the love interest was a human, but all were special. Keely appears in every story, starring in the final story, which was my favorite.
Besides Keely present in each story, each story is connected, which you don’t realize until you’re almost finished the book. I liked that. I also liked how the author created different clans of faeries, giving just enough information to whet our appetite for more. I’d love for the author to write a full novel, or novels, chock full of her faeries, learning more about their clans, their lives, their loves. I highly recommend Faery Special Romances. And you’ll love the cover too, which features Keely.

“Faery Special Romances by Jacquie Rogers is a delightful collection of short stories each connected by the faery Princess Keely starting with Keely as a precocious kindergartner in the year 1199 and ends sometime in the future after the frozen time With Keely's own love story.
This is a sweet romance with some steamy hot scenes. Jacquie Rogers' characters are well developed and you could picture the story playing in your imagination as you read. I had a very hard time putting the book down.
Jacquie is donating the royalties from this book to The Children's Tumor Foundation to help find a cure for Neurofibromatosis.
This is a great read and you will not be disappointed. ”

The book Faery Special Romances ¯ one might catagorize it as “Faerytales”, yet this is not nursery rhyme style stories. They are funny, adult (as in grown up not as in ‘adult’ material), stories that display Rogers’ own brand of whimsy and incisively funny quirkiness. Keely first appeared on the scene a year ago in “Faery Good Advice” from No Law Against Love anthology, and it was soon seen there would be no holding her down. To her own blog and now Bebo sites, Keely is a lass on the rise! Now you get to know this sassy faery special dispenser of romantic advice. So if you are looking for a delightful book that could tickle your funny bone, try this romp through history. It even has naughty bits!! The book’s royalties will be donated to The Children’s Tumor Foundation to help raise awareness and bucks for neurofibromatosis. A very special book for a very worthy cause.
