Story
When a fairy king grants a human wish, there's more at stake than dreams. Claire Delaney has a good life, despite her adolescent angst. But she wants more. In a moment of frustration, she wishes to be "the hero." What she actually wants is to be the center of attention, but what she gets is a terrifying Fae king demanding that she rescue an imprisoned fairy, facing fantastical dangers and hardships she could not have imagined. Yet the dreams - and the rescue - are only the beginning of her journey. She is at the center of the king's audacious gamble to end the war that has raged in Faerie for half a century.

Story
What if a new woman walked into your life while you were still haunted by the woman you lost? Stunned by the accidental death of her partner, Darcy Morrow can summon little kindness for the beautiful nurse Alis Baker, the woman hired to tend her while she grieves, the woman with the too-blue eyes and a healing touch. But day by day, month by month, as the Colorado winter rages on, Alis' determined gentleness and unwavering compassion chip away at Darcy's frozen heart - even though Alis has a deep sadness of her own, one she carefully hides.

Story
What is a maiden to do when her prince is not a prince, her hair won’t stop growing, and someone has cursed her to sleep for 300 years? In Polyhymnia’s case, it seems expedient to get up with the help of a kiss or two, trailing her hair behind her, and find out who did it. Nothing quite works out as planned, however, and Poly can’t be sure if that’s because she never seems to be able to remember things like the mysterious spindle that keeps showing up around her, or if it’s the fault of the wizard who woke her but never stops long enough to explain anything.

Exiled, excommunicated, and with a bounty on his head, Athelas is lying low in Seoul for exactly one reason: he has a wedding to attend. Whether or not he's welcome is another matter. Luckily for Athelas, several bodies have turned up with their soft insides gnawed out, whether by magic or Behindkind—and the latest of those bodies is at the very wedding hall he has been staking out. The Behindkind investigators suspect one of Athelas's housemates: YeoWoo, a gumiho with a thirst for revenge and an even greater appetite for soft underbelly than Athelas.

Is this Magic?
I had previously read this short story, but thought it would be a kick to listen to it as well since I enjoyed it. When the author advised that there were a few promotional books available, I requested one and was generously given one. This story is a coming of age story about a girl who received anonymous letters from a boy whom she guessed was near her own age. The letters were written as if the boy was a far, a fairy. But, she was obviously skeptical. The letters continued. But, one day, near Christmas, something magical seem to happen. Then, she had a mysterious visitor. Who was this incredible individual? Could he really be her Fae friend from years ago? If you enjoy a bit of romance and magic in a fairy tale, you will enjoy this story. My only complaint was the length ... I wished there was more! Well done !

A Fairy King
This relatively short story has magic, fantasy, time travel, and romance. A nine year old, Hannah, receives magically appearing letters from a Fairy prince until her late twenties. The prince, now a king, physically appears at her house at Christmas. The magic of Christmas is woven through this story. An uplifting tale for this time of year. I was gifted this from the author.

Tender, warm and captivating
Once again this author has given us an entertaining story that captures the imagination and has characters you can not help but love. It is a beautiful, tender fairy tale that takes you on a journey from a childhood pen pal friendship, to a warm, hesitant relationship heading towards love. This tale of a fairy prince and a human girl is well written, amusing and touches your heart. The narrator of the audiobook brings the story to life and does an excellent job of both the male and female voices. This is a sweet, enjoyable story and I hope the author writes a sequel. I received this audiobook at no cost and under no obligation to review.

A fairy romance
A Fairy King is a romantic fantasy that follows a pair of unlikely pen pals as they grow up world's apart.
The narrator does a great job of reading clearly and distinctly she even varies her voice for different characters.
The story has very little action as its told mostly through letters. But it is short and entertaining.

Hallmark Holiday Movie for the Fantasy set
An enjoyable short read (or, in my case, listen).
Since I experienced the audiobook, a word first on narration performance: well done, some interesting takes on the voices, subtle when it needed, good clarity.
Story: I worry this is going to be assumed to be snarky, but it's really not. It's just that the easiest way to describe this book is Hallmark Christmas Movie for the Fantasy set.
It's very cozy. Very romantic. The whole main action is centered around the holiday and involves an idealistic romance. There's very little real danger and no real action, but it's a nice escape into a sweet tale with some good writing about connection.
My main quibble is a personal one: I do not understand female characters who are so apologetic about existing. Like she assumes she's done something wrong and apologizes so easily. The saving grace is that the guy is that way too, rather than being a jerk who makes her think she really DOES have something to apologize for ... but he has a reason for automatically assuming that he has given offense because of his upbringing and coding to be uber polite, but her ... I'm like, dang, girl, who trashed your self-esteem?
But I guess I have known women like this. They exist. This story actually works better for the personality type than other ones do, because as I said, the guy isn't gaslighting her to MAKE her feel guilty. She just keeps doing it to herself.

Short and Sweet
Although this was an extremely short story it packed a lot in 4 chapters. I only didn't like that Hannah went from a 9 year old child to a grown woman in 1 chapter. That felt a little rushed to me. However, I understand it was an easy way to quickly get to the point of the point of the story . . . Hannah's in person encounters with Cadeyrn. I liked it!

Enchanting Novella
Short and sweet! I enjoyed this take on a pen-pal romance. Though mostly one-sided, and the characters had built each other up in their imaginations, enough was revealed to make the promise of budding love realistic. I would like to know more about the owl and how he chose Hannah, and more about how the fairy Court works, but it was a fun and entertaining listen.
