About this listen

Princess Una harbors no illusions about her claims to Karadok's throne. The last of her ill-fated line, she is just grateful she emerged from the dark days of war with her head still on her shoulders. After three years under house arrest, she is keen to start her own life afresh, hopefully in relative obscurity. What she does not realize is the extraordinary scheme the king has devised to find her a suitable bridegroom.

Armand de Bussell is a rogue who shirks his duties and does as he pleases. How anyone could think him fit for a princess is a mystery to him. He neither wants nor needs a wife in his life. At least...that's what he always thought before he met the Blechmarsh princess.

Contains mature themes.

I love this story but it has two major problems

Problem one it’s too short. I absolutely loved listening to these two and I wanted more. Plus I feel like Una really should’ve confronted Armand about some things he said and did instead of brushing it under the rug but it is befitting her character not to.
Problem two, and this is the serious one, the reason Armand got drunk in the first chapter is very important and it’s never answered. Because he either A. got drunk so he could go through with his wedding night.(A.K.A drink till she’s cute) B. got drunk so he couldn’t go through with it. Or C. got drunk because he was upset he had to go through with it. I feel like his intentions are important because everyone’s aware he’s drunk, so drunk he couldn’t walk, or take off his own clothes, couldn’t remember it the next day(or ever), and couldn’t recognize his own wife. That’s SA if he actually had no intentions of going through with it. Strip the event down to the facts a drunk man was dragged into a room stripped naked and rolled on top of a woman in hopes his muscle memory would take over and he’d be able to consummate the marriage. Like if he was a real person that’d be a pretty degrading thing to have happen to you. Thankfully this is a story and a very good one at that, like I said I absolutely love it, and ultimately the only thing Armand regrets about the night was that he got drunk in the first place and can’t remember it. Not that it happened because that meant he got his wife.

Even better in audio form

I truly enjoyed this book in written form,but I like it even better as an audio. The reader does a very good job of making our reluctant hero likeable. The heroine is great, too.

One of my fav. Alice Coldbreath books!

I’ve given this a listen to twice. Alice Coldbreath does such an amazing job leading us to rooting for her characters development. The spicy role play scenarios are a fun read too!

Narrator ruined it for me

If you read it first, not a good idea to listen to the audio. It’ll ruin what you have in your head for the characters. Not sure if it’ll do the same thing if listened to it first then read it. That’s normal though. Somehow, I didn’t like how the narrator did the characters.

Enjoyed everything about The Consolation Prize.

I had no problems completing this book. The story was engaging and I loved the heroine. She was strong in her own way and soft and sweet as well. I liked the hero, as well. Both main characters experienced growth throughout the story. The narration was excellent. I love listening to Anne F. and have many audible books narrated by her. For me, the book was therapeutic. It provided a much-needed break from the seemingly endless heart breaking news of this world. I plan to return to the series when I feel the need to take another healthy reality break.
