Synopsis
Since the death of his father, Trick Grigsby has fought to keep his head above water. Following in his father’s footsteps as a talented architect, he hopes to work his way up at the firm. Unfortunately, the company’s new owner barely resembles the man who was once Trick’s father’s best friend. Trick’s days are filled with drudgery and cruel remarks from the man who was supposed to be his mentor—along with his two sons, whose only jobs seem to be making Trick’s life miserable.
But all that is about to change.
Edwin Goodmaker struggled through his fairy godparent curriculum, but his mother—the reigning Fairy Queen—has a simple solution: Edwin will go to New York City and get some practical experience. When he meets Trick, Edwin knows he’s found a worthy charge, and he’s sure he can help Trick achieve all of his heart’s desires. Edwin falls for Trick, but with everything standing in their way, a fairy-tale ending might remain nothing more than a dream.

Review
If
you are looking for something sweet, fluffy and will make your heart as
gooey as a warm sugar cookie, look no farther than His Fairy Godfather
written by Cate Ashwood and Nico Jaye. I can't begin to tell you how
much I adored this book! I pretty much started smiling from the first
page and didn't stop until I got to the end ... and that happy, feel
good feeling stayed with me long after, too. I'm telling y'all, this
book could be one of those holiday movies that you wait and wait all
year for then watch pretty much non-stop all the way until January. Then
get sad you have to wait another year until it comes on again. That is
if you don't save it on your DVR to pull out in July or something.
Edwin
Goodmaker is a fairy godfather ... in training. The training part is
important you see because while Edwin has mastered some of his necessary
duties, there are a few he needs some work on. So, what's a Fairy Queen
to do but to send Edwin, who just so happens to be her son, to New York
City (by way of Kansas. On a bus no less!) to be among the mortals. And
wouldn't you know, his very first day there he stumbles across, quite
literally, none other than Trick (ugh, this name, but really, it fits
and I got used to it) Grigsby. Trick needs a fairy godfather like no one
else. This poor guy, verbally abused by his evil boss and his two
worthless sons, Trick trudges through every day. He's cynical and jaded
but he has a heart of gold buried beneath all the crap of his life. So
when he and Edwin cross paths, Edwin knows that he's meant to help Trick
achieve all his hearts desires.
What
follows is an adorable friendship full of Edwin's absolute delight and
wonder in the mortal world and Trick's belief that there is good out
there, especially if you're worthy. Or happen to have your very own
fairy godfather. Not sure many people kiss have sexy times with THEIR
fairy godfathers but Edwin and Trick do. And it's sweet and hot. And the
two of them together as Edwin shows Trick there are good things for him
and Trick shows Edwin things like cotton candy and pizza are just too
delightful for words. This book is all the things a fun holiday story
should be. Magical, whimsical, and it will leave your heart full and
with a smile on your face. Don't let this one pass you by people!!
You'll be so sorry if you did!

The cover coupled with the title are the first thing that grabbed my attention. I couldn't help to check the blurb and ...sigh, another addition to my ever expanded TBR. X-')
