LOVE IN FANTASY by Elle Christensen
"Twelve nights, twelve fantasies, twelve stories of true love. Or…is it only eleven?"
3.5 Stars
Love in Fantasy is Elle Christensen's novel in the Skeleton Key collection. It's a little different than you might expect though, because it's twelve fairytales rolled into one. Oliver must have Pippa, he knows she's the one the instant he saw her. Things become a lot more difficult when she poses a dilemna about being unable to marry without her 11 older sisters married first. Willing to try anything to get her, Oliver finds himself trusting the magic of a skeleton key he calls Wilhelm. The key beguns to weave tales of love for all the girls, but will the magic stop at 11 or will it work on Oliver and Pippa as well?

Images in the flames? For fuck's sake, is this Harry Potter now? I had hoped we'd confined this lunacy to fairy tales.

If you like over-the-top insta-love and some of the steamiest smut scenes around, Love in Fantasy is the book for you. The fairytales are reminscent of your favorites, from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermiad to the Princess and the Pea and Snow White. It's a mixture of modern romance and the sweet, exaggerated romance of olden days. The men are alphas to the core, the ladies smarter than your average damsel in distress, and the stories are totally unique takes on your childhood favorites. It'll have you laughing, sometimes rolling your eyes, and fanning yourself at the heat. It's the kind of book you can escape into, a skeleton key itself, to a whole new world you never would have dreamed of. 

Almost like a magnetic pull, she can tell the key and the door are connected.

I really struggled with the first person POV in this one, I felt like it wasn't consistent and switching between so many characters, 24 to be exact, was hard to keep up with. While still a magical story, the writing style and several of the errors made it hard for me to consitently follow along. 

I can't deny the power of love at first sight after meeting Philippa St. Claire. In fact, I'm putting a whole lot of faith in the idea right now.

Love in Fantasy is the perfect escape type of book, the kind you curl up in a reading spot with and forget the outside world. It's magical, romantic, hilarious, and blazing with heat, as well as all the HEA's your heart could desire.
