Blurb: Gabe Stewart has everything he ever wanted. Mortal Earth is safe. He’s a super-hero Protector whose best friend is within telepathic shouting distance. And then there’s his soul-mate, Singer. He knew right away she was the one he’d been waiting for.
But Gabe’s world shatters when Singer professes she doesn’t love him. On top of that, his mother admits she’s been messing with his memory making him doubt everything he’s ever known. And just when it seems things can’t get any worse, his best friend in the whole freaking world, Kellen St. James, wants Gabe to stop being his Protector. Being a Protector is who Gabe is. What will happen if he’s not standing between the prince and danger?
When the man who’s sacrificed his freedom is faced with life alone, which path will he choose? Will he remain the last Protector? Or will he finally get the happy ending he deserves?

Review of A Faerie Wedding
The Star Child was one of the first proper Fantasy novels I read from an author I didn't know when I first started blogging. I was sent the book to review, as I was a part of the Love a Happy Ending magazine review team and I didn't know what to expect but it soon became one of my favourite series. It had everything: Romance, humour, excitement and the series just kept getting better and better with each book! I was thrilled when I knew Steph was going to be releasing a series of novellas after the initial series ended but that focused on one of the most well-loved characters in the story - Gabe. This is the next (and I believe last?) instalment to this fantastic series.
I'll be completely honest and say that I am firmly running out of things to say about Steph and her books and I also completely understand that in order to understand this novella, you'll probably need to read all the other books first but I could 100% recommend them to anyone who loves Fantasy to begin with, amazing, diverse characters and a whole mix of emotions rolled into one book. They are the perfect YA books for someone who may want to ease themselves into Fantasy novels or for younger adults (although keep in mind this one is a New Adult novella and does contain adult language and scenes! Just a heads up!)
Just as with the others, Steph's talent and voice shines through in this novella and if I didn't know what book I was reading, there'd be absolutely no doubt that it was hers. As with all her books, the strong YA presence in these stories is palpable. The Star Child series just keeps getting better and better and when you think it's over and nothing else could possibly happen to these characters you've come to know and love, Steph hits you with something else. None of her books feel "over-done" like she should have stopped the story ages ago. Each novel and novella has an important place in this magnificent story.
I loved Gabe just as much as always in this book - he really doesn't change and I've always said I loved his wit, his humour and his ability to make everything seem that little bit more normal in an otherwise very abnormal world. He's that character you can really relate to - the most real. Wherever Steph goes next, either with this series or an entirely new one, I just know it's going to be amazing. She's a wonderful storyteller which although is directed at Young Adults, could appeal to a much wider audience. Her writing is effortless and engaging and she is exceptionally talented. I have always and will always admire Steph's work and A Faerie Wedding was no exception.
Well done Steph, for knocking my socks off once again.
