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?

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters and incidents are the product of the author's imagination, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is entirely co-incidental. The rights of the author have been asserted.

Review

By  J. Kaye Oldner (http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/)  
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.

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 one to my book club and we've decided to put it on our summer reading list. I am expecting some pretty animated discussions!

This book will surprise you
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 a much younger man, don't let that put you off. By the end, that whole issue simply disappears as the story concludes in what you know is the right way. This is also a great holiday read, especially if you are traveling to south-western France or Venice. If you liked this book then you are sure to love KT Casha's other one - Best Actor.Best Actor

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.
