Lucy Gentry is twenty-four. She’s bookish, unadventurous, and she has just graduated top of her class in Hospital Administration. A mysterious man named Jacob Brisbane II has offered her a job at a brand new hospital. The salary would be life-changing, but the position would leave her completely isolated; Brisbane is a tiny island between Canada and Greenland. It has no internet, no cell service, and it’s not on any maps. Something seems off, but Lucy takes the job, and is dropped off by bush plane on a snowy island populated exclusively by beautiful people. The doctors of Brisbane have no knack for budgets or protocol. The hospital is hemorrhaging money. Lucy -who loves solving problems- is like a kid in a candy store… Until a fateful ER visit shows her the truth. A man staggers in with wings protruding from his back, smoldering and oozing green goo. He’s a victim of FPV; it’s a brand new disease burning fairies alive. Hundreds have died. Thousands more will die, unless Lucy can whip the hospital into shape, find funding for research, keep her head down and keep the fairies out of her pants... Book One in the Fairy Smut Hospital Series.
Author of Erotic Romance from Michigan. The Fairy Smut Hospital Series is: Welcome to the Fairy Smut Hospital - Coming December 1, 2026 Life is Long - Coming June 1, 2027 Life is Short - Coming December 1, 2027 TBA - Coming June 1, 2028
I mean… thank goodness I’ve finished it. Almost DNF’d it but I carried on!
I did like the premise… although it sort of didn’t make sense. A fairy with loads of money made a whole island with shops and stuff all to bring a human to the island to help him with his accounts for the hospital?
There’s a disease running rampant through the fairy’s and they’re determined to run tests and find a cure.
Our FMC falls in love with the sleazy uncle (I’m pretty sure she calls him that too) and they have a whole lot of sexy time. But what started out good just ended up being a bit drivel for me.
But if you’re in it for something a little weird and smutty then this might be the one for you.
Oh yes, this is exactly what the doctor ordered 😂 I was in need of some proper smut, and then this ARC simply fell into my lap. I devoured it so fast and now I desperately need book 2… and it’s a year away?! Incredible!
First things first: this book is exactly what it promises to be. If you're picking up Welcome to the Fairy Smut Hospital, expecting a serious, high-fantasy epic, you may want to adjust your expectations. This is chaotic, ridiculous, spicy fairy nonsense and honestly, that's part of its charm.
Lucy is thrown into a mysterious hospital on an isolated island populated by gorgeous fairies, where she's tasked with fixing a healthcare system that's essentially held together by magic, poor budgeting, and good intentions. The premise is completely bonkers, and I found myself having a lot of fun discovering just how deep the fairy chaos went.
The spice? Hot. Very hot. The romantic tension and steamy scenes definitely delivered, and fans looking for a fantasy romance that leans heavily into the "smut" part of the title won't be disappointed.
That said, this book felt longer than it needed to be. There were quite a few sections that felt repetitive, and I found myself wishing the pacing had been tightened up in places. The story occasionally got bogged down in slower moments that didn't always move the plot forward.
My biggest frustration, though, was the ending. After investing in such a lengthy book, the cliffhanger felt more like a tease than a payoff. While it definitely sets up the next installment, I would have preferred a little more resolution before reaching the final page.
Overall, this was a fun, spicy, wildly imaginative read with a unique premise and plenty of fairy-fueled chaos. If you're looking for a fantasy romance that doesn't take itself too seriously and delivers plenty of heat along the way, this one is worth checking out, just be prepared to immediately want the next book when you hit that cliffhanger.
Based on the title, cover and description, I expected hilarious fairy hospital chaos a la Grey's Anatomy soap opera but absolutely unhinged fairy debauchery style. Wings sprouting randomly, goopy goo everywhere, lab coats with back holes for wings, lascivious doctors, and a human administrator summoned to rein in the chaos and make the hospital something resembling functional, but oops, she can't help but fall into the spicy fun pool herself.
But what I got was Serious Fairy Business™. Budgets. Financial reports. Awkward lunches. “We have to make this hospital profitable and let the other fairies know we can help them with their FPV disease.”
Why do they need money? The island didn’t exist six weeks ago. The hospital didn’t exist six weeks ago. Jacob apparently created the island, the hospital, the city, the grocery store, the restaurant, the apartments, and the whole fairy medical compound out of nowhere. They don’t use dollars, they use hawks. But they also invest in human assets? Confusing.
So why is the big plot problem hospital budgeting? How do you run a hospital for horny immortal beings with wings and an STI-coded wing disease? The book doesn’t build that. For a book called Fairy Smut Hospital, the hospital is weirdly low on fairy hospital chaos. Where are the wings? Why does Lucy arrive on this secret fairy island and nobody has wings? Why do the hospital fairies not have wings? Why do the grocery store fairies not have wings? Do they hide them? Do they retract them? Do wings only appear during illness, arousal, stress, or dramatic plot reveals? Wing logic isn't there at all. Why does Tom has butterfly wings on the cover? They're not mentioned in the story.
Lucy is supposed to be a problem-solver, but the book shows that with riddles. That's not the same thing as being good at solving actual problems. She never became a full character. Her main traits were being horny for Tom, anxious because she can’t call her mom, insecure around beautiful people, jealous of Tom’s sexual history, and somehow responsible for fixing a magical hospital economy that makes no sense.
Tom gets the character development. He has history, reputation, professional competence, sexual experience, other characters warning Lucy about him, and enough mystery for the book to keep circling him. Lucy is the POV character, but she mostly exists to fixate on Tom. Tom’s hands, Tom’s face, Tom’s body, Tom’s past, Tom’s sex life, Tom maybe wanting her, Tom standing too close, Tom walking her home. He is not interesting enough for this much mental real estate.
The smut writing style made me suspect this may be a male author writing under a pen name. It’s female POV, but the sex keeps centering the male experience. Lucy’s pleasure gets reported as "occurred," while the scene keeps returning to Tom’s body, Tom’s reaction, Tom’s confidence, and Tom being validated by how badly she wants him. The kink also reads like porn categories instead of desire. The book fails to authentically give any of Lucy's pleasure experience or desire. The "sleazy uncle" crap got old real fast.
The male gaze is all over the spicy scenes. Lucy is a virgin with a 2500-year-old fairy stag, but instead of that being built through her interiority, curiosity, nerves, trust, or discovery, it comes out like bad porn logic in first person. The fake doctor setup ("you should lie down for the brst exam" really??), the clinical language, the constant anatomical wording, the weird possessiveness after sex, the jealousy over an ancient fairy having a past, and lines like a gorgeous woman could “turn” her all made the female POV come across disingenuous.
I am all for porn with a plot, but it still needs a plot. Something needs to be happening behind the sex and attraction. It doesn't need to be serious, but it does need structure. This book keeps taking shortcuts. Hotness instead of chemistry. Riddles instead of intelligence. Vague secrecy instead of mystery. Physical closeness instead of tension. Exposition instead of worldbuilding. Dominance talk instead of an actual power dynamic. Lucy’s fixation instead of romantic development. “Fairies aren’t analytical” instead of a real reason she is needed.
The scenes also keep ending abruptly. Conversations start, information drops, and then suddenly it's the next day or the book has moved somewhere else. The pacing is choppy, and the story is skipping over the parts that should create tension, conflict, or emotional payoff.
This also needed professional line editing. There are run-on sentences, missing commas, overused ellipses, weird hyphen choices, pronoun errors like “Tom and I” where it should be “Tom and me,” and dialogue that sounds like characters explaining the scene instead of living inside it. The writing keeps announcing what things mean instead of making the scene do the work.
This novel offers a fun and slightly offbeat premise—Lucy taking a year-long job on a remote island, only to discover she’s surrounded by fairies. The slow realization that something isn’t quite right adds a nice touch of intrigue early on, and the world-building around a hidden fairy society—especially one centered on running a hospital and curing FPV—keeps the story interesting beyond its romantic elements.
Lucy is an easy character to root for in some ways, particularly in her professional life. She’s capable, driven, and clearly excels in her role, taking charge and working to make the hospital successful. However, her lack of confidence in her body and personal relationships can feel frustrating at times, especially given how much she is admired by those around her. It would have been satisfying to see more growth in her self-image over the course of the story.
Tom stands out as one of the strongest elements of the book. He’s self-assured, emotionally mature, and a genuinely supportive partner. His confidence contrasts nicely with Lucy’s insecurities, and he feels well-developed and grounded in a way that elevates their relationship.
While the book does include romantic and intimate moments, the story leans heavily into Lucy’s adjustment to island life, the dynamics of a fairy community, and the challenges of running a struggling hospital. Because of this, the title may feel a bit misleading for readers expecting a more steamy narrative.
Overall, it’s an engaging and unique read with a strong setting and a standout supporting character, even if Lucy’s personal growth doesn’t fully land.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this arc.

I am so sorry to rate this book so low but, it had to be done. I absolutely loved the idea of this book. 😍 Greys anatomy style with smut and fairies... Sign me up! The title and the blurb drew right in! ..... The reality of the book however, was in my opinion, not even close to how good the premise sounded. I spent the majority of my time in the first 30ish percent confused. Yes, I fully understand the fairy disease has occurred and they need to research it to find a cure. Why exactly did a whole city need to be created for one human to save everyone and cut costs when fairies dont seem to have any inkling of caring for money in the first place? It felt very convaluted. Also, I am sorry but the main character is Lucy so, why does Tom get all the attention? He gets history, background stories and a whole character arc and Lucy... Yeah. I had so much hope when Tom slammed the door in Lucy's face at first that it was going to be the start of maybe a good enemies to lovers trope.... I was extremely wrong. The story is mostly smut. I have no problem with that. I love me some porn with plot. That being said there actually needs to be some real plot behind it for me to be interested. The smut itself for being supposedly written by a women to me seemed very male gaze. I have read many smutty books and it definitely felt more like a man was writing under a different name than a woman's writing. So clunky and awkward (especially the "breast exam" scene). Overall, I think the idea of the story could have been excellent it just didn't hit the mark for me.

Not the most erotica I’ve read, but it’s close. Definitely more spice than story, but if that’s your thing I’m not here to yuck your yum. Fairy smut is for all. Interesting, funny, and unexpected prose, with Truman Show vibes at first. There are also surprisingly emotional pockets that remind readers the value of remaining present and an active participant in your own life.
FMC Lucy comes across as very vapid, basically playing hot or not with everyone she meets for the first few chapters. She is also ashamed of everything - smell, functions, hair, cellulite, hips, voice, the list goes on. Lucy seems to be ashamed of everything that makes her human, which made it hard to root for her. There would be excellent dirty talk and then Lucy ruins it by hating herself. Potential for long term character growth, but not in this book.

Thank you so much to the author and the publisher, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, for sharing an ARC of this book with me on NetGalley !!!
“I should have done more cardio before I came to work ay the fairy smut hospital”
This book was the upmost level of fun !!! Spicy, fun, interesting and absolutely amazing !! Imagine finding yourself thrown (if not locked) on an island of faeries in an hospital where you have to help them because their people are dying. Only you didn’t know faeries existed. And all of a sudden you enter into a friends with benefits dynamic with one hot one. It was marvellous. Absolutely marvellous. I loved it. Aside from the fact that Lucy is such a fun character (booknerd, kinda introverted, exploring type) basically someone I could absolutely relate to (no questions asked), Tom was … oh gosh I feel instantly in love with him. The respect, the appreciation, the passion, the dedication he shows her … oh it was such a swoon-worthy romance !!! It made me feel giddy and excited and hot and bothered and absolutely jealous I’m not experiencing it myself !!! I’m so so happy I got a chance to read this book and I honestly can’t wait for the second one in this series (might be in dire need of Jacob and Imogen origin story at the moment too tbh) !!!
“The honest truth is that love is not infinite, it’s not a viven. Not if someone isn’t willing to capitulate, to accept the kind of love that nobody should”
“I learned to be brave, since coming here. That love is worth all that you could ever have to risk for it, and you will have to risk everything”
Quite honestly, the title was enough for me to want to read this. I was expecting a silly lil campy smut story, but I’m pleasantly surprised at how much I cared about the characters and the story!
It’s a wild, silly ride full of chaos, workplace drama and (as expected) so much spice. I’ve seen other reviews comment that it may lean too spicy towards the end and further away from the main story - I agree but I really enjoyed reading Lucy learn more about herself and what she likes! It felt romantic and so honest (genuinely not sure I’ve read a more truthful spicy book, not really fluffy wording and metaphors and instead a more blunt approach. It was a nice change!) and felt like it was used as a way to learn more and develop the romantic story. Sure maybe we could cut some smut but the title literally has smut in it so I think that would be a disservice 🤣
Lucy and Tom were so sweet - the chemistry was fantastic, the banter funny and the honesty so refreshing. I loved that they were scared but communicated instead of self sabotaging. This is a core part of my five star review cause THANK YOU, yes I DO agree that a 2400ish year old fairy would learn how to communicate correctly!!! Speaking of, the fairy lore was brilliant and the FPV story had me hooked! I can’t wait to read more in the next book. 👀
Long story short this was a banger that I highly recommend if you like sexy doctor fairies 🧚
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy to review! ✨
this is an honest ARC review. eARC courtesy of the author via BookSirens.
this was billed as ACOTAR meets Grey’s Anatomy. as someone who is familiar with only one of those properties i can’t say for sure but i would say it delivered.
Lucy travels to a mysterious island with the promise of a one year contract as hospital administrator and gets a little more than she bargained for when she finds the island populated by fairies battling a new fairy disease.
the plot was present enough to keep me intrigued but the story is mostly spice. and the spice is varied and definitely spicing. there is an abundance of sexploration for our once virginal FMC and her caring partner. i had concerns about the very large age gap but i think it was handled well. Lucy definitely reads as unspecified neurodivergent - checking a whole bunch of boxes: safe foods, praise kink, list making, extreme cleanliness concerns. maybe this will be addressed in the future?
i was hesitant when some of the tropes were revealed but in the end i’m glad i stuck it out. i enjoyed the book and will be looking forward to the next entry in the series.
Lucy's first job is to be the sole administrator in a hospital secluded island, Brisbane. Only she didn't know it’s a hospital for fairies. No. An Island for fairies. The fairies in dire to find a cure for and HIV kind of virus to the fairies that they need a human to help them with things they not really good at, administrative task.
The plot sounds pretty interesting, isn’t it? Despite the cringe title. Not throwing shades to the author because the title is the very same reason it catches people's eyes first. And trust me it is a really interesting plot but only in the early part of the story because the rest of it (around 70%) is full of smut. I’m not against spicy scenes but reading someone’s bedroom scene for most of the story is quite tiring. I’ve already expected it would not be plot driven but I can’t stop hoping it has something in it. But seriously the few early chapters do have a lot of potential if the author puts more focus on resolving the FPV rather than unchecking the virgin's fantasies.

If you came here for subtlety… bestie, you took a wrong turn at the enchanted forest. This book is pure chaos in the BEST way think magical workplace drama, unhinged fairy energy, and enough spice to fog up your reading glasses.
Lucy? Oh, she’s not just surviving the madness, she’s thriving in it. Ambitious, sharp, and fully capable of holding her own among a cast of coworkers who clearly did not read the employee handbook (if there even is one). The dynamics? Messy. The banter? Top tier. The vibes? Immaculate and slightly feral.
And let’s talk about the spice because WOW. This book does not flirt with heat, it commits. You will blush. You will gasp. You might need to “take a break” (you won’t).
But what really sneaks up on you is the heart. Beneath all the magical mayhem and steamy encounters, there are genuine connections that make you actually care yes, even while everything is spiraling delightfully out of control.
If you like your fantasy a little chaotic, your romance extra spicy, and your stories sprinkled with humor and “did that really just happen?” moments, Welcome to Fairy Smut Hospital is your next obsession.
Well this is exactly as the title describes - smut indeed!
This is PERFECT for anyone looking for a lighthearted and witty read that is more smut than plot focussed. If you liked the pacing and smut to plot ratio of Heat Clinic by Alexis Osborne or novellas by Jessa Kane then this is your vibe.
I loved the premise and thought it was very original - Lucy being a human thrust into a faerie hospital that is held together with magic and on the brink of collapse that she needs to turn around. Faeries rarely get sick but a new virus threatens them all and unless Lucy can get funding to find a cure they will be doomed. The beauty of the plot is that, whilst obviously fiction you can see that there is just enough real life inspiration to make it grounded.
The spice was SPICING and there is plenty of it in delicious detail. I actually enjoyed that it focussed more on Tom, our handsome faerie MMC. It allowed me to “switch off” and immerse myself in being Lucy while reading more rather than a fly on the wall.
Overall, I loved that the book didn’t take itself too seriously which made for the perfect escape.
⭐️⭐️ - 2 stars 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 - HEAVY spice that is very explicit
if you like your porn with a side of plot, this one's for you!
welcome to fairy smut hospital centers around lucille gentry and her big move to brisbane! she is hired as a hospital admin for their new hospital. they are counting on her to fix it up and whip them into shape! along the way she makes new friends with her coworkers and possibly sparks up a romance with a hunky doctor ;)
for some reason it took me FOREVER to get past the first few chapters of novel but once they got into the smut, THEY GOT INTO THE SMUT. almost every chapter after chapter 9 was filled with explicit intimate scenes. i loved it at the beginning but then i did find myself skipping through it to continue on with the story. despite the fact that there were plenty of sex scenes, none of it ever felt repetitive to me! also i understand that this is an advanced copy but the formatting bugged the crap out of me and took me out of it several times 😭.
didn't expect this series to be a continuing one but i am looking forward to the next one! ♡
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book was honestly very quirky and fun to read at the beginning. The idea of fairies x human to coexist in a hospital setting was such a unique and interesting concept, and I really thought the story had a lot of potential.
But halfway through the book, when Lucy and Tom started getting together, the plot kind of disappeared. The story became heavily focused on the spicy scenes instead of developing the world or the storyline further.
That said… the spice absolutely delivered. The scenes were definitely up to standard, and it’s very clear this book leans more toward smut than plot. Tom also has this innocent-but-not-so-innocent vibe, which made their dynamic pretty entertaining.
✨ Overall Thoughts If you’re looking for a light-hearted, quirky fantasy read with a lot of spice, this might be a fun one to pick up. The story itself had potential, but in the end it felt like the smut was carrying the book.
Do you prefer fantasy romance books that focus more on world-building and plot, or are you okay when the spice takes the spotlight? 😆
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and Irene Kora for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Raiting: ⭐️⭐️ Spice level: 🌶
This book follows Lucy, a young hospital administrator who finds herself trapped as the only human on an island inhabited by fairies. She is tasked with helping manage a new hospital in the hope of finding a cure for the virus threatening fairykind.
I really wanted to love this one, as it sounded right up my alley as a lighthearted, spicy fairy romance. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it quite lived up to its title. The spicy scenes felt clinical and surprisingly male-focused, which was disappointing given that the book leans much more heavily on spice than plot. The character development was lacking and the plot inconsistent, but that's normal for these kind of books.
Overall, this is a quirky, spicy fairy romance with a unusual premise. If you're happy to switch off your brain, embrace the nonsense, and enjoy a bit of fairy smut, then this might be for you!
I was chosen to receive an ARC of this book from NetGalley and I thought it sounded like a fun read, but I had to DNF at 50% 😫 I hate not finishing a book but I was not looking forward to this at all, I think it took about 5 days to get to 50% and I was not interested at all.
The synopsis had me expecting a Greys Anatomy story mixed with fairy smut. As a big Greys fan this sounded ideal.. but it didn’t deliver that at all. The story made no real sense. Why does Lucy have to save money for a hospital on an island that was literally created for her weeks beforehand? If fairies don’t care for money & have no interest in it, what’s the point of her job. And why is she moving to an island that’s not on a map and has fake currency?
The spice scenes were awkward and very scientific.. not sexy at all. The FMC being a virgin was unnecessary and the way the MMC spoke was a little creepy (a breast exam??)
There wasn’t a single relatable or interesting character in the hospital.
Overall this was not an enjoyable read, I really struggled to get into it & eventually had to give up.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
A wildly twisty tale of a girl striving to succeed and a mysterious island. Lucy is brought in to try and fix the financial crisis of a hospital on a mysterious island with beautiful people where everything seems too good to be true. . . but then odd things start happening and she finds herself with even more questions and some seriously steamy encounters!
The story leaves you begging for more; why are they getting sick? How will they cure this horrid condition? Where will they do it next?!?
Can’t wait for book 2!!
I received an advance reader copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
I really enjoyed reading this book! The spice was on point, the tension was delicious and the ending just left me begging for the next book so that I could understand more about the strange condition affecting the inhabitants of Brisbane. I only wish we had a hint at what role Lucy may play in the curing of FPV.
This book had a wonderfully unique concept that immediately caught my attention. The blend of fantasy, humor, and romance promised a lighthearted and entertaining read, and there were definitely moments that made me smile.
The quirky setting and imaginative ideas were the highlights for me, and I appreciated the author’s creativity in bringing such an unusual world to life. There were a few characters I enjoyed getting to know, and some scenes delivered the playful energy I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, I struggled to fully connect with the story as it progressed. While the premise remained interesting, I found it difficult to stay invested in the plot and characters. Even so, I can see this book appealing to readers who enjoy unconventional fantasy romances with a humorous twist.
While it wasn’t the right fit for me personally, I’m glad I gave it a try and appreciated the originality behind the concept.
At first, I was going to say that this book has no plot. But then, during my scrolling time, I found this post that said, “sometimes the smut is the plot,” and well… that’s exactly the case here. In the story, the FMC starts a new job as a hospital administrator on a small island of fairies. She has an amazing, logical mind, but she’s very insecure about herself. Then the MMC enters, a 2,500-year-old fairy (IYKYK), and she can’t stop thinking about him. And oh, he’s very sweet, and she trusts him immediately… and then the smut starts and just keeps going throughout the book. It’s actually a fun read, a really fast one, with a lot of spice while also exploring their desires and trying new things. To be fair, there is a small subplot about a disease with no cure that the fairies are researching. In summary: a fun read where the smut is the plot.

This was a rather fun read, and deliciously spicy.
Lucy Gentry has been hired as the new administrator for the Central Brisbane Hospital. What she doesn't know at first, is that the island is populated by fairies,and the hospital is trying to find a cure for FPV, a virus that is killing fairies.
As well as trying to help the hospital make money to fund its research, Lucy finds a group of friends,as well as a loving partner who is more than happy to help Lucy explore her deepest desires.
Lucy was a very likeable character, with fears and insecurities that made her more relatable, and I'm glad the fairies all had their own varied personalities, and we're not all one-dimensional, while obviously fictional, they felt like they could be real people.
I received an ARC of this ebook from the author via BookSirens, and I'm voluntarily leaving this review.
Lucy accepts a job as a hospital administrator on an island that isn't on any map. Then she finds out that the island is inhabited by fairies.
Let's start with the plot. The actually plot of the book is quite interesting. The faeries, who never get sick, are now faced with a deadly disease they are trying to cure. Unfortunately, it does seem to be an afterthought.
Now the romance. There is a major age gap, but it seemed to be handled well and tastefully. There is a lot of spice, which I would expect. Tom seems to respect Lucy. Lucy has some serious confidence issues. I was hoping that she would have some growth in that area, but she kept falling back into the same self-deprecating thought patterns.
Had high hopes for this but it was just average the plot idea of a human being tricked into administrating a hospital that needs to cut costs. Even though the creator is a billionaire air.
Theres a mysterious virus killing fairies and a cure can only be found if costs are cut. Yet fairies dont really use money in their lives.
Lucy meets Tom who let's slip the truth of the hospital and what they are and her contract. Thinks of him as the creepy uncle yet ends up falling for him almost immediately.
The romance and spice side I actually expected a lot more especially given the title of the book. The spice just doesn't hit its so clinical and all over the place.
I will read book 2 when it comes out just to see if it gets better, the sneak peek of chapter 1 of book 2 seemed slightly better spice wise.
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this advanced copy
I wanted to like this book so bad. The synopsis sounded absolutely incredible and a really unique story, but the actual book itself didn't match. Almost the entire book is following a virgin human woman who decides to explore her sexuality with a fairy. The hospital is tangentially there as a location, but the story barely focuses on Lucy's work.
There is A LOT of self body shaming in this book. There were points where I was uncomfortable reading how Lucy talked about her body or her focus on always showering before she would let Tom touch her. It felt like a really unhealthy portrayal of what an intimate relationship should look like.
Thank you to BookSirens and Irene Kora for the free eARC.
Have you ever wondered what ER would be like, if there was hospital budgets instead of surgery? and lots of fairies and spice? Well that's what Irene Kora is delivering in her new series.
I liked the concept of this book when I read the blurb. A little less injuries and a lot more spice, and it definitely delivers on both accounts. Lucy takes a job on an island, not knowing that she's walking into a world of fairies, where she's supposed to help make a hospital profitable... and maybe quite a bit of fairy drama and romance at the same time.
I liked the chemistry of the characters and the storyline, and the spice... well if you like your books extra spicy, then this one is for you. I can't wait for the next book.
*****Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really tried to like Welcome to the Fairy Smut Hospital. I read it slowly on purpose, hoping that giving the story more time would help me connect with it, but unfortunately, it just did not work for me.
The beginning of the story and the way the plot twist was revealed felt confusing and unconvincing to me. I also struggled with the world-building, which never felt clear or engaging enough for me to become invested in the story. Sadly, I could not connect with the main characters either, and this also applied to the side characters.
I am genuinely sorry to say this, but I do not have much more to add. This book simply was not for me.
Lucy accepts a job that too good to be true. She is a hospital administrator, and she has a one-year contract to stay on the island until the year is out. But she soon finds out why. Everyone else on the island is a fairy. As she struggles to find herself in this position, she decides to try to make the best of it and have some fun. Tom is a middle-aged fairy who is doing research to cure the disease affecting the fairies. Tom, as they say, has been around with most of the female population at one time or another. But Lucy decides she wants to try a relationship with him and things get a little crazy from there. I was expecting more from this book. It is an okay read but with a title like that I was expecting so much more and was a bit disappointed.
The Island of Brisbane which is also a country of it's own. The whole Island is full of beautiful people. Only it's kind of old fashioned it has no internet or cell phones.Lucille is a lovely young woman. She is not from the Island , but she lands a job at the Islands hospital. As their hospital administrator. After being on the island a short time. The people start talking about weird things. Like some of the people living hundreds of years old! It seems the people of the Island have a deep secret. Can Lucy handle the secret when she learns it. You will love this five star plus unique paranormal romance.
I picked this up because "Fairy Smut Hospital" is a title that practically dares you not to read it. Lucy thinks she's accepting a boring hospital administration job on a remote island, only to discover the staff is gorgeous, the patients have wings, and apparently HR has given up entirely.
The mix of fantasy, mystery, and romance was ridiculously fun. Lucy's attempts to stay professional while surrounded by beautiful fairies had me laughing, and the chemistry was enough to make even the hospital run a little hot. Equal parts chaotic, hilarious, and spicy, this book had me ready to book an appointment at Brisbane General immediately.
I really enjoyed the premise of this book and thought it was a unique story. The characters were interesting but I didn't feel a ton of connection early on between the FMC and the MMC, for a while I wasn't sure if they were actually going to be endgame. The writing was also at times read a bit like a list of actions rather than a story. I still finished this book quite quickly and enjoyed the spice scenes and the plot.
