A love more powerful than magic or time.

Beverly Bratton has a safe, mundane life. No drama. No magic. Since her parents died, she's cared for her little sister Marion and worked at the Tragic Fall Inn. When a fairy's charm sends Beverly a hundred years into the past-and into the path of a banished fairy prince-nothing will ever be mundane or safe again.

The regent of the Dumnos fae is turning the court from light to dark, and there's nothing the rightful king, Prince Dandelion, can do about it. The mystical coronation cup which he needs to become king has fallen into human hands. When he meets a human woman with access to the cup, everything changes. Beverly is fascinating as well as useful-but of course Dandelion doesn't love her.

Love for a fairy is rare. Love with a human, impossible. But when Beverly and Dandelion are thrown together in a battle against both wyrd and fae, they learn that in Dumnos the impossible happens every day.

Review

What a delight! L.K. Rigel continues to stretch her fairy wings in Bride of Fae. One of her many strengths is world-building, and she puts that skill into excellent play here. The result is a charming and lovely tale. - New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Theresa Weir (Anne Frasier)

COULD.NOT.PUT.THIS.BOOK.DOWN!! Rarely does a book grab me like this one did. This story wisks you away to London and you become entranced with the fairies, pixies, goblins and the humans who interact with them. You get to see the light and dark side of the fairie world and their inner politics and workings. L.K Rigel eloquently describes the scenery and paints such a picture in your head that you want to run away to Faeview. - Jenn's Review Blog

I cannot wait for the next book. The way that Rigel started with the present in Give Me and then is going back into the past with Bride of Fae and the next book is really interesting. I don't know if I've read a series like that before, but I'm glad that I am reading the Tether's series. - Reading It All 

I love reading stories about Fae and Rigel's description and detail that she put into this fantasy world was amazing. I felt like a piece of me was there. The author also captured a very good sense of time travel within the story. - Amanda Blogs, Tales of a Bibliophile

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read! September 9, 2012

By T. Elizabeth Burgess

Format:Kindle Edition

This was an entertaining book with lots of intriguing characters and a richly developed fae realm. There is plenty of drama; a nice blend of magic, sex, and lust; and a dash of tragedy to keep the balance just right. The time travel is well-written and is not at all confusing, and the characters have depth enough to make each one distinct. Even though I have not read the first book in this series (and now I really want to!) I was able to follow the plot and characters with no problems.

This book kept my attention and interest - I read it in one afternoon! It is well written and imaginative, and I would love to read more in this series.

SPOILER ALERT
There is an apparent gap in the plot where the author sums up the events in the first book when the two storylines intersect. This can seem a little jarring and incomplete if you have not read the first book, but you can still follow everything just fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bride of Fae July 24, 2012

By Delphina TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

What a magical tale! I absolutely loved the first book in this series and was so glad to see a second book in the works. Let me just say that Happy Dances were witnessed at my house the day this was first emailed to me as an ARC. This book is not truly a prequel to Give Me, nor is it a sequel. Without giving away too many spoilers, it is intertwined within Give me. That being said, you could easily read it without having read Give me, but I think reading Give Me first will add to your reading experience.
I do not even know where to begin on the awesomeness of this book. I love all things Fae, so I loved seeing more of the Fae realm we were first introduced to in Give Me. I also loved how this book had Fae and Wyrds, and Goblins, and humans. Their interacts with each other made for some fun and some not so fun scenes. I especially loved the relationships James had. I will not spoiler them, but the way they were written made me happy.
I think one of Rigel's gifts is her ability to tell a story through multiple time periods. This gift shined (shone?) especially bright during this tale, which spanned time and realms while it intertwined with Give Me. I am excited to see where this series goes. In my opinion, Max and Cissa are characters we need to learn a lot more about ;).
This is definitely an adult book due to the content, but I did not find there to be anything over the top or explicit when it came to the sex and violence. Basically, it passed the "I would not be embarrassed for my mother to know I read this" test.

Lisa's review of
Bride of Fae (Tethers, Book 2)
By Lk Rigel

I was given a copy of Bride of Fae by Lk Rigel in exchange for an honest review. What a fantastic book. Unfortunately I have not read book 1 yet Give Me but luckily it was not needed in order to keep up with this magical tale. What one of us didn't grow up listening to stories about faries, Wyrds and Goblins. They all tell us that humans and the magical worlds cannot mix but somehow it seems to work. The building of the characters and storyline shows us that Lk Rigel cares about her readers and their thoughts. The cover of the book was absolutely beautiful and makes you want to buy it. Each character has a essence all their own and are given a three dimensional quality. The setting for each journey in the book was carefully described as if to place you into the scene as one of the characters. I highly recommend getting Give Me first then purchasing Bride of Fae so you can enhance your Fae enjoyment. I look forward to reading more in the future from Lk Rigel.
