Think passion is all over once you hit forty? Well, think again. Jaded after a series of failed relationships Cate McCormack's channeling her 'inner romantic' into her very successful books. Author of a series of contemporary takes on traditional fables and legends, Cate's surprised to find herself caught up in her own fairytale as two 'princes', one young and handsome and the other rich and powerful, vie for her affections. Head battles with heart as Cate slays the twin dragons of public perception and dented self-esteem to assert her right to her very own happy ending. KT Casha does it again. Set in fabulous locations in Hollywood, London, Venice and Southern France, 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?

Summary: The Dumbing Down of Women
Comment: 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.

Summary: book club pick
Comment: I bought this book after reading J Kaye Oldner's review and I loved it. 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 one to my book club and we've decided to put it on our summer reading list. I am expecting some pretty animated discussions!

Summary: A waste of time
Comment: 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. You have no idea who these people are or what motivates them after reading 400 pages. I found myself not caring at all about ANY character in the book, and couldn't care less about which of the "princes" she ended up with. I just couldn't wait for it to end.

Summary: From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Comment: Cate McCormack at age forty-six is a successful author. Her book is being made into a film by Wyatt Productions. She's been invited by Jack Wyatt to meet the director of the movie in Venice. Having had a string of bad relationships, she's about given up on love completely when she meets Andrei Siwek.
Thanks to some fancy manipulating from her lifelong friend and personal assistant, Caroline Harrison, Cate won't be going alone on her trip. Andrei, who is fourteen years her junior, will be attending as her bodyguard. It's a job he takes seriously.
As their relationship evolves, both have their own personal demons to contend with, not to mention the media barking at their heals. In this beautiful love story, the reader will wonder up until the last pages whether or not these two will overcome the obstacles in their path and find happiness with each other.
K. T. Casha understands the sweet vanity of the forty-something woman in this novel about self-discovery and love.

Summary: The truth about fairy tales
Comment: Fantastic feelgood romance for the modern woman - wonderful locations, interesting friends and an unexpected ending; what more could you want from a novel? K T Casha has a total grip on the problems faced by the older, single woman in society today and provides not only an escapist romp but also a thoughtful conclusion that could provide many women with a guide to dealing with the ups and downs of dating in 2008. I would thoroughly recommend this novel and have, in fact, given it to ten of my closest friends as Christmas presents!!
