Professor Bryce MacLeod has devoted his entire life to environmentalism. But how effective can he be in saving the planet when he can’t even get his surly neighbor to separate his recycling?
Former Queen’s Enforcer Mal Kendrick doesn’t think his life could get any worse: he’s been exiled from Faerie with a cursed and useless right hand. When he’s not dodging random fae assassins in the Outer World, he’s going toe-to-toe with his tree-hugging neighbor. And when he discovers that the tree-hugger is really a druid, he’s certain the gods have it in for him—after all, there’s always a catch with druids. Then he’s magically shackled to the man and expected to instruct him in Supernatural 101.
All right, now things couldn’t possibly get worse.
Until a mysterious stranger offers a drunken Mal the chance to gain back all he’s lost—for a price. After Mal accepts, he discovers the real catch: an ancient secret that will change his and Bryce’s life forever.
Ah, what the hells. Odds are they won’t survive the week anyway.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, however I felt like this one was a bit of a miss in the romance department. Not much trust between MC's and if there was better communication, i.e. if Mal had of told Bryce the wording of the curse, then he may have done what I did, and figured it out almost straight away.
As for the general plot, it was so obvious it was cringe-worthy. None of the secondary characters were likable and I felt like they should just be left to suffer due to their stupidity, I'm looking at you Fae Queen. >_<
I haven't really like any of E.J. Russell's other books except for book one (Cutie and The Beast) and I'm afraid that the next book in the series, Bad Boy's Bard will go further downhill to the point where I don't even bother requesting her books anymore. Fingers crossed.
