My Fairly Dangerous Godmother

MY FAIRLY DANGEROUS GODMOTHER
by Janette Rallison

Some people bomb auditions. Sadie Ramirez throws up during her tryouts on TV show America's Top Talent.

Her performance is so bad, it earns her a fairy godmother through the Magical Alliance's Pitiful Damsel Outreach Program. 

Enter Chrysanthemum Everstar: a gum-chewing, cell phone-carrying, high heel wearing fairy godmother in training. 

She misinterprets Sadie's wishes and sends her back in time to be a part of The Little Mermaid story and then makes her one of the twelve dancing princesses. 

Wishes are permanent, and if Sadie wants to get back to her home, she'll have to strike a magical bargain--one that involves stealing a goblet from a powerful fairy queen.

My Review
I absolutely love this series! A GREAT distractions from the woes of my own life! 

I love Chrissy and her wish-making foibles--which make the story very entertaining :) 

And I am always happy with a mishmash of fairy tales!

This book was truly a delightful read! I really liked the way the character developed and how it all played out with a twist to the positive side of looking at things.

I have now read quite a few books from this author and I am very impressed with her talent!

This series is DARLING!
I highly recommend it!

Good clean fun with a touch of magic!


About the Author
Janette Rallison is old. Don't ask how old, because it isn't polite. Let's just say she's older than she'd like to be and leave it at that.

Janette lives in Chandler, Arizona with her husband, five children and enough cats to classify her as "an eccentric cat lady." She did not do this on purpose. (The cats, that is; she had the children on purpose.) Every single one of the felines showed up on its own and refuses to leave. Not even the family's fearless little Westie dog can drive them off.
Since Janette has five children and deadlines to write books, she doesn't have much time left over for hobbies. But since this is the internet and you can't actually check up to see if anything on this site is true, let's just say she enjoys dancing, scuba diving, horse back riding and long talks with Orlando Bloom. (Well, I never said he answers back.)

My Unfair Godmother

MY UNFAIR GODMOTHER
by Janette Rallison

Tansy Miller has always felt that her divorced father has never had enough time for her. But mistakenly getting caught on the wrong side of the law wasn't exactly how she wanted to get his attention. Enter Chrysanthemum "Chrissy" Everstar, Tansy's fairy in shining, er, high heels. Chrissy is only a fair godmother, of course, so Tansy's three wishes don't exactly go according to plan. And if bringing Robin Hood to the twenty-first century isn't bad enough for Tansy, being transported back to the Middle Ages to deal with Rumpelstiltskin certainly is. She'll need the help of her blended family, her wits, and especially the cute police chief's son to stop the gold-spinning story from spinning wildly out of control. Janette Rallison pulls out all the stops in this fresh, fun-filled follow-up to the popular My Fair Godmother.

My Review
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series! Amazing writing! FUN, FUN, FUN story! SO CUTE! Can't say enough good about it! Grab a copy and get wrapped up in Chrissy's wish-making debacles...It will bring a smile to your face!

MY FAIR GODMOTHER
by Janette Rallison

Finding your one true love can be a Grimm experience!

After her boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, sophomore Savannah Delano wishes she could find a true prince to take her to the prom. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother. Showing why she’s only Fair—because she’s not a very good fairy student—Chrissy mistakenly sends Savannah back in time to the Middle Ages, first as Cinderella, then as Snow White. Finally she sends Tristan, a boy in Savannah’s class, back instead to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. When Savannah returns to the Middle Ages to save Tristan, they must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight. Laughs abound in this clever fairy tale twist from a master of romantic comedy.

My Review
I absolutely adored this book! FUN! CREATIVE! Full of fairy-tale twists! I was captured by the humor! Couldn't read fast enough! SO LOVED IT!

A Longtime (and at one point illegal) Crush

4 comments

Book Details:
Author: Janette Rallison
Release Date: February 2013
Genre: Contemporary Romance

I have about 31 books that I NEED to read...
But when I saw this on Amazon this morning...AND it was only $ .99...AND it was only 58 pages...I knew I just had to push everything else aside and read it!
I LOVE Janette Rallison's books and I knew I would LOVE this one too :)
And it was SO WONDERFUL!
A sweet, romantic, heart-tender book!
I wish it had been longer!

Book Description:
From the day Elsie’s older brother brought his friend Kye McBride over to their house, Elsie adored him. When she was eight, she secretly blew kisses to him. When she was twelve, she sat on the stairs unnoticed and watched him escort another girl to prom. When she was a senior in high school, she walked into math class and found out he was her new math teacher.

With that much emotion fueling her, things were bound to go wrong. And they did. Elsie not only spent the last two weeks of school avoiding him, she turned avoiding-Kye-at-all-costs into her life-long philosophy.

Now three years have passed and Elsie has come home for her brother’s wedding. She’s got to face Kye-–hopefully without getting crushed again.

Fun side fact:
Janette's husband's grandparents: Leo and Lucile Rallison met when Lucile was a senior and Leo was an agricultural teacher at her high school. For Leo it was love at first sight--since he didn't know if she was another teacher or a student. When he found out she was a top scholar, he went out of his way to be friendly to her. He would smile and wink at her to see her blush.

At the end of the year Leo got permission from the principal to ask Lucile to the prom. Two years later they married, settled down, and proceeded to have nine children. Their descendants now number into the hundreds.

Janette says: 
"I've always thought their romance was a sweet story. It avoided the whole creepiness issue because the two so clearly loved each other. he wasn't using his position of authority to get something that was improper. He didn't hide his courtship--and he didn't kiss her until they had been seeing each other for six months. he had real and honorable feelings for her, evident by their marriage....I am glad you fell in love! It led to me falling in love with your grandson."

When Clarissa finds out she can nanny for Slade and have Elaina there too instead of at a babysitter she jumps at the job offer...

Only problem...she absently put that she was married on her application...when in reality she is divorced...

When Slade offers to take Clarissa and Elaina to Hawaii in order to nanny Bella the masks will need to come off...
