Product Description:
Think passion is all over once you hit forty? Well, think again.
Cate McCormack-s got everything but love. She-s made a fortune out of a series of bestsellers that retell fairy stories with a contemporary twist. She has an adoring fan base, a group of close friends to rely on and a to-die-for penthouse in the center of London. Contemplating an invitation to go to the Venice Biennale, she-s busy juggling a film deal and a growing obsession with Andrei, the young Polish janitor at her building. Already fretting over the age difference, things get even more complicated for Cate as a Hollywood player makes his move and she is forced to make a choice between her two -princes-. Set in the glamorous locations of London, Venice, Hollywood and France, The Truth about Fairytales turns the tables on received wisdom as Cate learns that listening to her heart - rather than her mother - is the best route to her own happy ever after.
Author KT Casha uses fiction to explore contemporary issues, often with surprising results. The Truth about Fairytales is her take on one of the biggest issues facing today-s independent woman - what-s the man in our life actually for? And, if you-re in a position to choose, why not have it all?

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Love this book
This is a contemporary story dealing with some pretty interesting issues that face successful single women: friendships, relationships, who they can trust and who's trying to take advantage. The writing style is pacey and engaging and the plot wonderfully glamorous with an unexpected twist at the end. I loved the fact that the heroine is in her forties: this age group (mine) is under-represented in modern fiction and I totally related to the way she felt and the choices she made. I raved about this ... Read More

The title of the book tells it as it is...this is a story about a woman who struggles to overcome her own inability to separate the truth about real life from her childish view of love as a fairy tale.Casha's writing style is direct and she quickly draws you into her heroine's world - itself a modern-day fairy tale.The pace doesn't let up and you will find yourself thrown into the story which unfolds with a confidence that simply carries you along.As for the theme of an older woman falling for ...

Rating:  - The Dumbing Down of Women
What a pile of drivel. I kept waiting for something to happen - a bright turn of phrase, a surprise in the "plot", maybe a mysterious death! But no. I was stuck on a boat and this was my only book -otherwise it would have ended up in the dumpster. Ladies, please, steamy romance novels can be fun - but this was INSIPID! Do yourself a favor and pass it by.

Rating: - A waste of time
I totally disagree with all other posters. I can enjoy a fun, steamy, romantic novel like the rest of them, but this is far from steamy or captivating in any way. The romance is flat, and plot line is dull, as there really are no conflicts or interesting turns at all until the very end of the book. The first 350 pages just felt like the author's daydream about what the perfect life would be like. Fine. So then give me some interesting characters to learn about and love. Nope. There is NO characterization. ... Read More
