Blurb-
When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a tree,
it reveals a secret about himself and his mother's side of the family that
could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed in
fairy tales.
Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at
Waverly Park and left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all
because of his blasted wheelchair.
Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he
must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but
everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

My Review:
I liked that the main character was in a wheelchair. I also liked all of the gadgets. I did not like that Tristan could fly. It ruined the disabled hero image for me. There was a lot of fantasy in this book, and that kept me entertained. I also liked Jessamine. She was the perfect character for this story. I liked how Tristan saved her and there interactions after that. This story was a cross between Macgyver, fairy tale and historical romance. I am giving this book a 3/5. I would have liked a more definitive ending, however I will be wondering if Tristan finds what he needs in time.
