About this listen

All work and no wicked play makes Tiernan a very unsatisfied king…

Of all the Verran brothers, Tiernan is the least suited to wear the Night Court crown. The Rebel Prince is happy with no responsibilities or accountability—just the freedom to pursue his own dark, lush pleasures in Sin City. Including his secret hunger for a certain smart-mouthed, fiery redhead.

Only, the possibility of having Fiona is stripped away when Tiernan is thrust into the one role he never wanted: king. As king of the Dark Fae, wanting—let alone pursuing—anything with a lower-caste fae like Fiona would shift from fun…to forbidden.

Now war is emerging from the shadows of Vegas, and Tiernan is caught between who he’s meant to be and who he wants. And somewhere in this maelstrom of lust, love, and rebellion is the key to the Dark Fae’s survival…even if the cost is more than he can imagine.

Holy Moly!!

Gina has done it again! This was an amazing story. I love the relationship between Fi and Tier. They are such a cute couple and they are funny as heck together! The twist and turns were great. I can’t wait for the next book, I’m super excited.

Amazing

The story was amazing! The narrators were beyond amazing! I was excited to listen to this after the way the first book ended. The story was everything I wanted and more.

Both narrators did a phenomenal job with the characters. Every mood, every scene really had you feeling everything they were.

Cliffhangers

The story is really good. The romance is fantastic, and it didn’t go as I thought it would. It was better, and I loved how heroine’s past was revealed and the hero reacted to the information. I cannot wait for the next book! 4.5 stars.

Great story! Terrible female narrator!

I loved the story, loved this sequel, love the spice!! Absolutely can not stand the female narrator’s voice drawing out… after every single end of sentence! Stop! You are ruining the book!

Great!

Such a good read. Just as good as the first book, if not better. Cannot wait for book #3.

Can’t do the female voice

The book itself and male voice are 10/10. The female voice ruined it. As soon as their chapters came on I wanted to stop listening. Kinda ruined it I’ll most likely get the physical book and read it so I can actually enjoy it.

Sexy, entertaining paranormal romance

I was wondering where the author would go next with this series. In my opinion, she did even better with Tiernan’s story than she did with Caiden.

After Caiden abdicated in the previous book, his younger brother Tiernan is supposed to be crowned. Which makes his relationship with Fiona, the half-human housekeeper, a forbidden one. At first, Fiona and Tier are mostly friends with benefits–without being really friends either. They even banter quite a lot. But it’s clear from the beginning that there’s a bit more than just attraction between them: there’s respect and admiration. And yeah, a lot of attraction. I found it very telling and sweet that the things Fiona was the most insecure about were also the things Tiernan liked the most. As a dominant lover, Tiernan was quite selfless and attentive. Even the scenes they both participated in were different than most BDSM scenes written in romance.

If Beauty and the Beast was in the background of the first book, this time the author references Little Red Riding Hood. But not a lot. The fact that Fiona has red hair explains her nickname, Little Red, and that’s pretty much it. Tiernan is far from a big bad wolf–though there are some in the story–and there’s no grand-mother in sight. There are patterns of concealing one’s identity, though.

The other recurring metaphore is chess, as seen on the cover, and I guess it sums up the story pretty well too.

Besides the romance, the story revolves once again around the rivalry between the Dark and the Light faes. But the author added another surprising element: a human faction fighting against the faes. The racist subtext behind their actions was obvious too.

Politics and diplomacy were also a big part of the story. It was an interesting element, as Tiernan is introduced as a rebel, and you’d imagine that negociation and following rules wouldn’t be among his skills.

I could complain that some decisions they make while looking for the bad guys don’t make a lot of sense, but they bring Tiernan and Fiona together. So in the end, I won’t complain. It’s a sexy, entertaining paranormal romance, and that’s already a lot.

I knew, diving into this audio, that I would enjoy the narration, and I was right. Both narrators are great, and are perfectly cast. Tiernan’s narrator was light and funny when needed, and more introspective and deep at other times, while Fiona’s narrator’s energy matched with the character, bold and stubborn. It was a great way to enjoy the book.

Great book! Awful female narrator

This book was so good! I can’t wait to see what happens in book 3. The female narrator’s voice was awful! She has a nice voice, however, ending each sentence with a fake rasp was so horrible on my ears I couldn’t stand it! How does anyone think that sounds good? Ruined the audiobook completely. Too bad.

Another great sequel. So glad I stumbled upon this author

Love this one, went through it really quickly. I loved Fiona she's a great character and not whiny like a lot of main female characters are in these dominant male stories. Loved the banter and humor. Did feel a bit too easy or tied up in the end but who am I to criticize. Still really enjoyable book.
