About this listen
Lady Rachiele, 18, has spent the last eight years dreaming of a life at court with a loving husband. Then her parents sell her hand in marriage to a stranger. Sir Telon of Yovren is handsome enough, and seems charming at first. But when Rachiele learns he’s a drunkard and in love with someone else, she grows determined to escape and chart her own destiny. She’ll even brave the dangerous, monster-infested woods surrounding castle Yovren if she has to.
For Sir Telon, life has gone from bad to worse. When his lover scorned him for a more advantageous match, his parents immediately tricked him into signing a betrothal contract for Rachiele, a complete stranger. Now duty to his unwanted bride prevents him from winning back his former love. Worse, Rachiele seems to hate him for some mysterious reason.
After his bride vanishes inexplicably from a locked room at the top of a tower, Telon finds himself the prime suspect in her disappearance. To clear his name, he has no choice but to hunt her down. But the woods outside castle Yovren are full of beasts both creature and human. As the runaway bride and her knightly husband work together to survive, they both begin to realize how happy their marriage could have been. Finding the strength to admit it before it ends forever will be a difficult feat: one requiring more than wits, brawn, or magic.

Story
London, England. Charlotte Connors is tired of asking for a man, only to find coal in her stocking. Emboldened by a little liquid courage, she gives up on Father Christmas and uses her grandmother’s old book to summon a faerie plus-one for the holiday party. But when against all odds it actually works, Charlotte finds herself face-to-face with a foul-mouthed, hungover hitman. Bain was looking to sleep it off after taking revelling to new heights at the Winter Solstice. Instead, the acerbic assassin is stuck with a naïve, pathetic human who doesn’t even have a target in mind.

There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I'm about to break every single one. Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie. When I'm chased across the wicked border and caught by its reclusive ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal. Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae. But I don't have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of sinister paths, deceptive stairways, and devious creatures. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment. Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy. I should have known my sexy captor wouldn't play fair.

But Iris trusts no one when it comes to her sister. With both of them in danger, I now have to make a decision.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I am one of twelve assassins forced to compete for the hand of our unseen king, who I'm beginning to doubt is even human at all. Why he needs a bride, much less one who wields a blade isn't any of my business. All I'm trying to do is get out of here with my life and my heart intact. I don't want to care about the mysteries I begin uncovering about the king, about why he never shows his face, about his palace that turns into a nightmare after dusk.

I agree, and for a while, it seems like nothing can go wrong. That is until Vale sets his sights on me.

Fun and feel good!
Ok. I adored this book! It was such a fun and feel good romantasy. I loved both of the MCs and how their personalities complimented each other. Telon was an adorable cinnamon roll Knight. And I’m confident that he will charm his way right into your heart, like he did mine.
Lost in a wood full of monsters, with dangers at every turn, there was never a dull moment in this book. It was fast paced, and sprinkled with humor. We also go to see a lot of character development for both characters.
I
I thought the narration was well done. It was clear and engaging!
I would definitely recommend this book to all romantasy lovers! I can’t wait to read book 2 in this series!

A fun read
This book was a pleasant surprise. I really liked it. I wasn’t sure that I would. It was suspenseful, funny and frustrating all at once. I felt like shaking some sense into Racheile and Telon at times, but those two were so cute together. Their adventure through the woods was fun to listen to. How do you not fall in love with someone that shares an experience like that with you? You’ll just have to read it for yourself or you can listen to the audio version of the book like I did. The narrator was fantastic, she will not disappoint. I highly recommend this book. It was very entertaining.

So easy to dive into!
I first have to say that the narrator did such an incredible job, I just couldn't stop this audiobook.
The story was so easy to dive into, it just started so quickly and the characters were instantly endearing. The world-building wasn't too deep which made it simple to follow. Rachiele grand escape and of her misfortunes was so diverting and let's be honest I just loved how Telon reacted to all of this. He still decided to protect Rachiele and help her without forcing her to do anything, he wasn't even mad. I loved our characters' interactions so very much, the banter and also their cuteness together. They were fun and honest and it was just nice to follow them on this adventure.
I was honestly so impressed by the fact that the miscommunication trope didn't bother me that much (it's a lot coming from me haha!) I was just going with it and it got me thinking that maybe in fantasy book it is not as annoying to me because so much is happening all the time. And well, let's be honest, in between fighting beasts for your survival, I can forgive the fact that you have other priorities than this whole communication thingy. Our characters also had quite a bit of history that made it relatable and made sense for them to be fearful of this whole relationship. So yeah, not mad about the miscommunication (or lack of communication) for once.
It was such an enjoyable read, a perfect book to just let you escape in such an easy way. I am so happy there's another book in that series cause I really liked this one and will want more of this world and those side characters for sure.
Thanks to BOMM and the author for the ALC. All opinions are my own.

Fun listen - great if you like adventure romance
I RARELY give a 5 for books, but I just absolutely couldn't wait to finish this one, and I read it in just under two days. I loved the snarky smartness of the FMC and the cinnamon roll love of the MMC. The twists and turns that this book had, caught me from page one... well maybe from chapter two, the first chapter you're kind of thrown into the world and here you go.
The world building was great and all of the characters were full. I could see the castles and the countryside and even the crazy creatures who lived in the woods.
I do really love that an honest feeling relationship was built between the two main characters and that the love for each other was real. There was a decent amount of spice in this one too, once you get to it!
{note there are spoilers from here until you see the next brackets}
Although I did like the push pull of the two main characters who were obviously falling in love with each other even though their marriage was arranged, it did get a little tiresome that it took them all the way until the very end to finally admit they had actual feelings for each other and to stop being so darn noble about letting the other go (him to his "true love" and her to her dream of escaping to a new world and sewing.). And the fact that its his grumpiest friend who is like, oh wait hey guys, you're in love, are you sure you want to part ways? That said, it felt typical for young love.
{end of spoilers}
I thank the author and Book of Matches Media for offering me a copy of this book for my honest opinion. To note, I did listen to the audio book, which I highly recommend!

I absolutely loved this and yet, there were a few things that made me dock this to 4 stars rather than 5.
I received this from Story Origin as an audiobook advanced reader copy. This is 3rd person, dual POV but only has a female narrator. I enjoyed her voice and she didn't distract from the story. All the voices felt distinct and believable.
The author is able to write well and there was nothing jarring in the writing itself; however, there was one world building issue and one plot issue that made this not perfect.
The world building is pretty fun. This is sort of medieval times with a little magic here and there. However, there is a creature-type that is considered a pest that is discussed as needing to be eradicated like a hornet's nest. And, the more you get to see them, the more you realize these are sentient beings and may have a reason for doing what they do. Sadly, because of the writing, this started feeling like a genocide was being perpetrated against these creatures and, instead of being a way of moving the plot forward, I started to question the morality and ethics of people who would murder an entire society of sentient beings without a care.
I loved the romance. The author does a great job at helping these two immature people get out of their own way by sending them on a journey together. They spend so much time together in adverse conditions, that you really get to see their innate values and inner kindness come out. I loved watching them fall in love. However, these two characters have reasons for not trusting the other one to like them, let alone love them. And they lacked the emotional maturity to EVER talk it out.
It allows for a huge grand gesture at the end, but it dragged the book down. The characters don't really get more mature. The guy gets silent and the woman gets insulting. Like, she would just call him and other characters names on the off chance this would make them talk to her about what really matters, instead of just asking what's going on or being brave enough to confess her feelings and doubts.
The end of the book has them together, but because of something the heroine says, it was not the most satisfying ending. The hero confesses his love and she doesn't tests him and pushes him away even at the very end. We know they're together, but she hasn't been as open about her adoration of him and it bugged me.
I will definitely read this author again, but hope that the author doesn't use the non-communication trope again.

A Fun Romantasy Romp through a Magical Wood
This book was such a fun surprise!
What I liked:
- Cozy Romantasy Vibes
- Likable protagonists
- Fabulous Audiobook Narration
- Magical forest hijinks
- In general, just a sweet fun story
- Nice tension throughout. I honestly found myself worrying (in a good way) if it would have a satisfying ending or if I'd have to wait for the sequel.
What I didn't like
- The pacing of the last 25% or so didn't quite fit for me. In some ways, it feels like they're having the same communication for a little too long.
Recommended for those looking for a fun romantasy with likable protagonists and a pinch of spice. And I'm totally game for book 2! (4.5/5)

A fun fantasy romance
I enjoyed this tale of shenanigans and romantic misunderstanding. Caruso builds a fantasy world that is immediately familiar, yet different enough to feel fresh in its details. Rachiele and Telon are the perfect foils for each other, hopelessly in love but desperately afraid to come out and say it. If there were ever a couple in need of a neutral third party to slap them both upside the head over it, they are it.
Carol Beth Anderson brings the characters to life with her excellent and clear narration. I don't read a lot of romance, but I do like a good love story now and again, and this one fit the bill.

This is delightful and funny and I devoured it
Listen. I could not put this down. I kept insisting to myself that I would stop listening and go to bed, but I kept 'Oh, well, One more Chapter, then' if I was even 1 second too slow to pause it.
While I do not usually love the miscommunication trope, which this has in spades, it is for a good reason. They've both been hurt and they have a hard time trusting one another. They make assumptions about their own worth and often make decisions based on what they think is better for the other person even if it is incorrect. Somehow, it's not annoying. Somehow, these two dummies not talking to one another is thoroughly delightful.
I enjoyed the world-building, though it's not particularly deep. The spice was great. The characters were incredible. Highly recommend and SO EXCITED to see that this book has a follow-up about Corin and Eliana!!!
As a final note, this is an amazing narrator and I will absolutely be seeking out more of her.
I received an ALC for audible from storyorigin and this is an honest review.
