"whimsical Wildside romantic fantasy"
The Saint traveled the planet spreading good cheer,
encouraging love between people, and destroying evil. More
renowned as Santa Claus he abruptly vanished over a hundred-
sixty years ago, but finally in 2006 he has been found
wandering the northern wastelands living amidst polar bears
and suffering from total amnesia. The Fey assume most
likely the Goblins, who hijacked Christmas and painted the
Ho Ho Ho fat boy image, managed to slip him a Mickey; the
drug Fed wiped out his memory. Currently he recovers in the
fey community of Cadalach. Appalled to know how the Goblins stole Christmas, Kris, as
his friends and family call him, hires author Adora Navarra
to write his biography though the writer's more popular
works collect dust on library shelves. She, in turn, is
concerned about accepting a job from an obvious nut case,
but needs the money that his Armani suit represents. What
really frightens her is her attraction to the lunatic who
hired her. Adora begins to wonder if insanity is catching
as she meets fey, dragons and goblins when he takes her to
his hometown. She will soon learn this is only the tip of
the magic iceberg as she plays a key role in an upcoming
scenario. Fans will enjoy this fun whimsical Wildside romantic
fantasy that adds depth to the chronicles that so many
readers appreciate. The story line is action-packed as Kris
plans to regain his original image of a hunk not afraid to
fight for what he believes is right. Interestingly he finds
himself fascinated by the mortal, having given up human
females centuries ago. The key to this superb fantasy is
Adora, whose reactions seem so perfect from initially
questioning her safety with her lunatic client to pondering
whether insanity is catching to falling in love while
battling at her beloved's side against Goblins. Melanie
Jackson provides a delightful charmer. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
