About this listen

A playboy prince in want of a decoy bride.

A servant girl desperate for a disguise....

Raven shifter Prince Franco is every social-climbing debutante’s dream. He’s handsome, heir to the Lunar Court throne, and deliciously single. Every young woman wants to bed him, wed him, or steal a moment of his time. Except, of course, for Ember Montgomery.

Half-fae Ember craves freedom from her conniving step-family. As if they weren’t enough to deal with, a chance encounter with the arrogant Prince Franco leaves her humiliated and in a fiery rage. Nothing could convince her the prince is anything but a rake. But when the opportunity to evade her scheming stepmother falls into her lap, she’ll pay the price - even if it means impersonating the prince’s newest flame....

To prove himself a worthy heir, Prince Franco must marry a princess. But after far too many unsatisfying trysts, he’s given up on love. With the social season in full swing, and bringing with it a horde of husband-hungry socialites, he’ll do anything to delay the pressures of both marriage and the crown. And what better solution than an alliance with a desperate servant girl glamoured as his false future bride?

Locked in a bargain, Ember must pose as a princess until midnight at the full moon ball. Until then, all she has to do is wear the glamour, pretend to court the prince, and above all else, not fall in love. But when feelings emerge on both sides, she starts to wonder if there’s more to their contrived courtship than either of them planned....

Can Ember and Franco find love when the masks come off? Or will illusions and lies prove stronger than their hearts?

A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Bridgerton in this stand-alone fairy-tale retelling of Cinderella. If you like slow-burn romance, fake engagements, and snarky fae royals, then you’ll love this swoon-worthy story in the Entangled with Fae series.

Note: This book is upper young adult/new adult, featuring mature situations and some adult language. The romance is slow-burn but leads to moderate steam.

Heart of the Raven Prince is a complete stand-alone novel set in the same world as the Fair Isle Trilogy. Journey back to Faerwyvae or begin your adventure for the first time with this enchanting tale. Each book in the Entangled with Fae series can be listened to on its own and in any order. Happily ever after guaranteed!

One of the best

This was one of the best Cinderella stories I have listened to or read. I will read/watch/listen to almost any Cinderella story but this one made me feel so much emotion. Beautiful story, and the readers did a good job. I would love it if this were a movie!

Excellent read

Every story I read by Tessonja Odette gets better & better. This was an amazing story with such great characters, old & new. Some of the characters you will love & some you will despise. Ember got suckered into a bargain with her stepmother who claimed she was taking care of Ember. The truth was that she did not treat Ember well at all. She was constantly scheming to steal Embers inheritance. Her 2 stepsister were no better. They treated Embmer as a slave & not a sister.
When Ember had enough she tried to escape but it didn’t work out at all. Ember then got involved in an intricate plot to help another escape & it would benefit her as well she just didn't know it yet. An amazing story that will keep you reading well into the night.

Cute story, good performance

It’s a cute Cinderella story and even helps build into the The Mermaid Story. Wish it would have been a little longer so the author could’ve gotten into more detail of how they fell in love. Overall good performance by both Caitlin and Aaron.

The twist on Cinderella I never knew I needed!

Another fairytale, another book I fell head over heels for.

This is a twist on Cinderella that quickly became my favorite! None of that nonsense about a prince not recognizing a woman he supposedly fell in love with one beautiful night. No, we have a love story full of hidden identities, mysterious bargains and banter!! The chemistry between these two was so heartwarming and wholesome! Fluffy, feel good fantasy romance right here!

I don’t think I stopped smiling at any point during this book. The prince is a fae raven shifter and our main character Ember is the unfortunate half fae stepdaughter to a wicked creature her father decided to marry. Always repressed and always blamed for the murder of her father, Ember has been kept in the shadows and held for her inheritance. Until one day, she gets a letter sending her (and unfortunately her family) to a ball that changes everything.

Let me tell you- this story has a satisfying happily ever after with deserved retribution.

Excellent narration by both narrators! Very much looking forward to the next books!

Loved every second of it

GAH! I love this series so much. Cannot recommend it enough. The narration was flawless. I love that we got some of Franco's chapters, and I found myself looking forward to those the most. Both narrators did a fantastic job emulating the personalities of each character.

The beginning of this story was a bit agonizing, as most Cinderella retellings are. I wish Ember had had just one friend or one positive relationship so it wouldn't have been so depressing. It also took a bit longer to get to the main plot - the fake relationship - than I would've liked.

BUT, all that said, this was still so very, very good. Do you like the fake relationship trope? Seducing a prince? Roguish rakes with a heart of gold? A slow burn romance with a bit of steam? Then you will LOVE this book.

I found it really refreshing that Franco wasn't described as the typical fae male who is big, beefy, and muscular. He was still alluring with his silver hair and eyes, his tattoos, and his wings and raven form. Such a captivating hero, but it was a refreshing reminder that a love interest doesn't have to be chiseled and muscular for me to enjoy the romance.

I also really liked Ember's love of music and her special fae power. Franco's was fascinating, too - he's a psy vampire who feeds off of the emotions of others, and it really made them a beautiful pair. He could see her aura, her energy, and fell in love with THAT, not the disguise she was wearing. It made their love so much more meaningful and believable.

HEART OF MY RAVEN PRINCE

TESSONJA DELIVERS ANOTHER WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE SERIES! EMBER IS FORCED TO WORK FOR AND OBEY HER EVIL STEPMOTHER. BUT WHEN ENCHANTED INVITATIONS ARE SENT, WITH THE CONDITION THAT EMBER MUST ATTEND AS WELL. FATE TAKES HER ON A THRILLING ADVENTURES THAT SHE NEVER EXPECTED. FRANCO IS WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS AS THE PLAYBOY PRINCE, WITH ELABORATE TALES OF DALIANCES AND BROKEN HEARTS THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND. EMBER FINDS HERSELF TAKING THE PLACE OF A POWERFUL PERSON AT COURT, AND AN UNEXPECTED ROMANCE WITH PRINCE CHARMING, FRANCO'S SISTER WHO IS QUEEN HAS A FEMALE MATE, THOUGH THERE IS NO MENTION REALLT BEYOND THAT. THROW IN A PAIR OF GLASS SLIPPER THAT MUST REMAIN ON EMBER'S FEET, AND A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE OF ADVENTURE, THE NARRATORS ARE AMAZING!! THOUGH THERE IS ONE SCENE, IT IS EASILY DIMISSABLE.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SELKIE PRINCESSES STORY!!!!

Another Great Retelling

Much like the first book of the series I love this one. I like how it was a duet and gave so much depth to the prince. I also love how quite a few of the anticipated plot devices(mistaken/misconstrued identity) were subverted and instead used to make the story that much better ❤️

A Beautiful Cinderella Retelling!

I love this story so much! Just like I do all of Tessonja’s retellings! This story focuses on Ember Montgomery, a half-sylph Fae, and Franco, our full-Fae Raven Shifter Prince.

Disguises, New Moon Masquerades, and Full Moon Frolics ensue with a lovely enemies-to-lovers tale as our abused Cinderella finds her prince.

Excellently narrated by dueling POV’s, I loved every minute of this altered timeless tale!
