About this listen
One touch, one spark, two lives forever changed.
Pine and Azure. The war between the two kingdoms lasted far too long. Peace was finally established, but the survivors would never forget who fought on the front lines. Oliver Sage had a reputation for being a ruthless knight. He’d seen enough death to last a lifetime and worked on putting the past behind him, although not all would let him forget.
Addison was the only daughter of King and Queen Azure. With three brothers, she knew she’d always be protected, but she also wanted to learn how to take care of herself. She was strong, had a good heart, and wanted to be treated as an equal. Magical abilities ran in her family, and she had one no one knew of.
Oliver had given his heart to one princess, until the night he dreamed of another. Addison was the last woman he should desire, especially given who she was. However, what if she wanted him as well? They’d hated each other their entire lives, but suddenly couldn’t resist the desire which built between them. There were also those who didn’t think they should be together. Forbidden romance could only stay hidden for so long in the dark depths of the Pine Forest.

Ariane lived her life one book at a time. She would never have guessed those books were about to change everything. They led her to Orion. Tall, dark, with eyes only for her. The rest of the world ceased to exist when Orion was around. But during a fateful ash moon, he shifted into a wolf. Ari thought she was dreaming, but she'd recognize those eyes anywhere. Fiction became reality. Fantasy was actually history. And soon, Ari would learn her role in it. A pack war was on the horizon, and she was the only one who could stop it.

Samantha Sinclair's midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam's never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the fifty and up waterfront community, the B&B isn't the ideal place to lay low.

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

The Iridescent Realm!
The Pine Forest (The Iridescent Realm, Book 2) is a fantasy romance that begins the story of Addison and Oliver which began in the epilogue of book one. This author has created a fascinating realm with intriguing characters. With magic swirling around through the pages, a rivalry between two kingdoms, characters banter, and plot twists seeping through the pages. I'm looking forward to listening to the final book in the series.
Narrator Max Reids performance felt a bit stale for me. Sarah Puckett is the Queen of narrating books. Her performance was perfect.

The Pine Forest
The Pine Forest is the second book in the Iridescent Realm Series. I liked this book a lot more than book one. It has good character development and some plot twists you won’t see coming.
Oliver and Addison met at Luke and Alison’s wedding in book one. Oliver is a Knight for King Pine and Princess Addison is Luke’s sister from the Azure Kingdom. One touch, was all it took to have them meeting in their dreams. The only problem-they are from different kingdoms, kingdoms that recently used to hate each other. I enjoyed the push and pull between these two. Even though they know they are fated, they take things slow. BTW-I want my own dragon the fly on 😂
Sarah and Max did a great narrating Addison and Oliver. I liked having the male point of view!

Entertaining and cool!
Great narrators! Enjoyed both of their performances! Recommended listen!
Entertaining and fun! Sweet and steamy! Cool world building; interesting magical world! Love the whole being in each other’s dreams premise for the romance, and the bit of enemies to lovers scenario. Great chemistry between Addison and Oliver. Love book 1 and this one was great too! I’d recommend reading book 1 before this one, but it’s not completely necessary. Excited to read more from this author!

Amazing Fantasy Romance Series!
This is the second book in The Iridescent Realm, a Fantasy Romance. This is one of my favorite Fantasy Romance Series! I highly recommend you to listen to the Series in order. I love these Series with characters intertwined. Addison and Oliver's story is as great as the first book in the Series. They share a strong chemistry. The storyline is intriguing, and captivating. The cast of supporting characters is great! Sarah Puckett and Max Reids did a fantastic job with the narration. I love Sarah Puckett's voice, and even more when she read fantasy romance! Max Reids has a beautiful voice, very pleasant to listen to. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend this Series! Michelle Dare never disappoints! Looking forward to listen to the next installment in the Series, Elliott's story! #AudiobookObsession

Story and narration was amazing! Especially Max Reid's lines. I can't wait until this makes it onto television or the big screen. I'll be listening to a lot more narration with Max involved. He's so talented.

magical romance
The world in this series is brilliantly created and the attention to detail is great but the story asnt that strong in my opinion. The characters are great and the romance is captivating.
The female narration is amazing but I felt the male sections were over played.
I still want to see where the series goes next.

Overcoming the Odds
Title: The Pine Forest
Author: Michelle Dare
Format: Audio
Narrator: Sarah Puckett and Max Reids
Genre: fantasy romance, enemies to lovers
Standalone: technically
Part of a Series: Book 2 of The Iridescent Realm
POV: Oliver and Addison (mostly)
Steam Level: slow burn to toasty
4.5/5
While technically a standalone, I highly recommend reading The Azure Kingdom first in order find out the history of the kingdoms and the characters’ backstories. Oliver and Addison’s story starts during the epilogue of The Azure Kingdom just like the epilogue of The Pine Forest leads into the next book.
I like how Addison and Oliver overcome the rivalry and the magic between them. Michelle Dare has created a compelling world in The Iridescent Realm that keeps the reading guessing and reading more.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

From different kingdoms
The Pine forest is the second book in the iridescent realm series. It can read as a stand alone but will be enjoyed so much more with the back story of The Azure Kingdom. Oliver and Addison have chemistry from the very first touch the road to happiness is not an easy one. Sarah Puckett gives an amazing 5 star performance but I felt that Max Reid was to harsh as Elliott. I loved Elliott in the first book, he was my favorite character and HATED him in this book all the way through the epilogue to the point I was not excited for the third book.
