Whyyyyy?

[sincere]

I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne--if I can stay alive long enough to claim it. My cousin, Prince Cel, is determined to see that I don't. As long as we both live, we are in a race for the crown: Whichever one of us reproduces first gets the throne. So now the men of my royal guard--frightening warriors skilled with blade, spell, and gun--have become my lovers, auditioning with pleasure for the role of future king and father of my child. And they must still protect me from assassination attempts--for unlike most of the fey, I am part human, and very mortal. All this royal back-stabbing makes it very difficult for me to pursue my living as a private investigator in Los Angeles [...]

This is a summary. From a book.

An actual book.

I keep thinking, any two elements -- maybe any THREE elements -- of that story would be okay independently. Last surviving fairy princess? Okay, sure. Surrounded by big handsome hulking warriors whose only duties are to protect her and, er, win her affection via physical means? Okay, I can go with that. Private investigator living in L.A. and looking into a Big Evil Power? Fine.

But the last surviving fairy princess, with her harem of ninja guardian pleasure-slaves, living in L.A. and working as a detective who has to save the world?

That is just physical pain, I'm sorry. ^^;;;;
