About this listen

With their inheritance restricted until their marriage, sisters Clara and Louisa, both in their twenties, must live with their godfather Drosselmeyer. One night, an accident brings to life one of the strange wooden dolls in Drosselmeyer's mansion. The Nutcracker doll is a cursed Fae prince, and he pleads for the sisters' help. During the ensuing journey into the Fae realm, Clara encounters the handsome Sugarplum Faerie, and he promises her the chance to enact all her forbidden fantasies. Meanwhile Louisa and the Nutcracker Prince battle and bicker over everything, despite the growing attraction between them. And to make matters worse, the entire Seelie kingdom is under threat of conquest by the Rat King, ruler of the Dread Court. Contains mature themes. Trigger and content warnings are available on the author's website.©2022 Rebecca F. Kenney (P)2023 Tantor Fantasy Fiction Romance Royalty Feel-Good

Hard to Love but found some likeable moments

NARRATION
Jessica Jeffries is a wonderful storyteller. It kept me in the story and had me listening tentatively. The only complaint that I have is that she doesn't change her inflection between the sister BUT luckily, she changes her inflection for the princes.

STORY
This story was really good and had a nice plot that kept me interested. But it reminds me of the type of story of someone who is just learning about s*x with a retelling story. The main reason that I kept reading this story is because of Clara and Fin; their lust, love, and understanding of each other was chef's kiss.

Clara
I love this character and I loved how real she was. This character made me feel like this was the authors favorite character as well lol She put so much into her character and into her romance. Clara and Fin have the most amazing relationship when it came to his care for her and her care for him. The pieces that they love of each other plus their primal play was chef's kiss.

Louisa
She was honestly an annoying character, she always had one thing on the mind. She also was so cruel with her sister even when her sister was just fine being in her shadow. Her relationship with Lir was also not the greatest of romances which made their "love" seem impossible but in evitable.

Such a good retelling

Really liked this retelling of the nutcracker. There’s spice and and of course Finn. If you want a fantasy spicy filled Christmas classic read this!

Be aware of what you are getting into!!

Fiction / Christmas / Erotica / Retelling / DARK
⭐⭐⭐/5 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

CW: Dub Con, Kink, SA, Voyeurism

This is a DARK Nutcracker retelling. Do not open this book if you are not ready for depravity. If you liked Anne Rice's The Sleeping Beauty Quartet you might enjoy this.

In this case, entertaining doesn't necessarily mean good. There were times I thought I was totally going to DNF this book, but something kept me reading.

This is just plain fun

Spicy, exciting, fast-paced plot. It’s a short one that grips you from the outset and keeps you listening. Got me out of an audiobook funk, so now I’m going to listen to this author’s other stuff.

Narrator was good too!

Engaging story

I had a great time with this steamy re-tale. The prince attitude towards one of the main characters was awful (don’t want to spoil the plot), making him my least favorite…. Sugar Plum Faerie, on the other hand, is my new book boyfriend
The narration was great but it would be much better if they were multiple narrators.
