From back cover:
"MacBroom Sweeps Clean
Emma Craig
Stuck in an arranged marriage to a Scottish lord, Lily wondered if she'd ever find happiness or true love--until a wee Broonie named Angus MacBroom came upon the troubled beauty, and decided to teach the foolish couple a thing or two about Highland Magic.

"The Fairy Bride"
Tess Mallory
Visiting Ireland with her stuffy fiance, Erin certainly never dreamed she'd find herself swept into a handsome stranger's enchanted world of fairies and goblin kings--or that she'd soon long to be his fairy bride.

"The Trouble With Fairies"
Pam McCutcheon
Fun-loving Nick and straigt-laced Kate had a marriage that was destined for trouble, until the fateful night Nick hired a family of Irish brownies to keep the house clean--and let him get his love life back in order.

"Whatever You Wish"
Amy Elizabeth Saunders
A trip through time into the arms of an English lord just might be enough to convince the very cynical Meredyth that maybe, just maybe, wishes did come true--especially with the help of a fairy godmother.

"The Trouble With Fairies" by Pam McCutcheon
This first story was cute but I didn't like Kate at all. I thought she was selfish, close-minded and a--well, I won't put that here. She didn't deserve Nick at all. He wasn't perfect but I think everyone would like to have a husband like him, or at least a boyfriend if you're more in the anti-marriage sector. :P The Brownies were funny and I liked Kate's friend (I forget her name!), but I don't understand how they were friends. 5/10

"Whatever You Wish" by Amy Elizabeth Saunders
I really liked this story until the end which really disappointed me. Too bad, because I liked the style it was written in and it had very likeable main characters and promising secondary characters. The story would probably have been better suited as a full-length book and maybe then everything could have been expanded and changed somewhat. I still think overall, if I just overlook the ending, that this is my favorite. 8/10

"MacBroom Sweeps Clean" by Emma Craig
Though I did think it was a rather slow start, it soon picked up and it was an absolutely charming little story with loveable characters. :) 8/10

"The Fairy Bride" by Tess Mallory
This is another one I thought should be a full-length book. There was just so much of Tir Na nOg and its inhabitants that could have been explored. I also thought that the story was kind of rushed, I mean 2 days! Still, it was a lovely story. 7/10

Out of the four stories, there was only one I didn't like. "MacBroom Sweeps Clean" by Emma Craig. Very descriptive, but very slow. After the first two chapters, I skipped the to the last page. It ended like I thought it would.

The other three stories were full of imagination. "The Fairy Bride" was my favorite and I am now in search of more books by Tess Mallory.

Happy to have found this book couldn't find it here in town and the price was good too. Thanks Amazon!

This book was great I love the way the authors weaved differt fairytales into all most real love storys. I only wish I could find more story's like this one better.
