Well-bred women should not be seen kissing their butlers. Even when the butler in question is secretly a fae prince.

Wyn knows falling for Hetta Valstar is a bad idea. She's not only human but the new magically bonded ruler of Stariel Estate. If their relationship gets out, it'll cause a scandal that could ruin their attempts to sort out the estate's crumbling finances. Of course, it doesn't help that Stariel has decided it doesn't like him.

But much more than just jealous, sentient estates and Hetta's good name are at stake. Wyn’s past is coming back to bite him. Ten years ago, he broke an oath and shattered the power of his home court, and the fae have been hunting him ever since. Now they’ve found his hiding place, and they won’t rest until he’s dead or the debt is repaid - and they don’t play nicely.

Loves the narration again! I liked the storyline in this book, but it’s not as good as the first. I felt the plot was built up to a huge conflict that only fizzled out mildly. Not as climatic as I hoped for. There is also not any specific storyline development that makes me want to start the next book in the series. Don’t get me wrong I’m interested to see what else develops, but there was no cliff hanger. I like a cliff hanger.

Excellent Narration

There are lots of plot twists and excellent character development. True Romantic heat without explicit details.

FABULOUS

I adore the narrator’s voice. It’s beautiful and soothing and her inflection and tone is perfect. The stories are so entertaining. There’s some fun humor but the storyline itself keeps you interested. Cannot wait to get into the next one!

Love this series and the narrator!

This series made me go out and buy a pack of three credits so I could keep reading! I didn’t want to wait a minute. I’m so glad I found this series- it’s fun and engaging and fresh as well. The characters are delightful and I want more!

Can’t wait to keep going

I have been enjoying this story a great deal. The personalities are all well-defined, and the story has pulled me in. I particularly like the different twist given to this world- so different than the norms of the “fae genre” but still incorporating the most intriguing parts and with satisfying detail.
So far I’ve found few series as interesting as “The Cruel Prince” but this one has something I like more. Yes the heroine is human and shows herself smart, capable and strong, but the fae hero ALSO gets to display his own strengths and capabilities. Most books tend to have one, usually the heroine these days, outshine the other. I like that so far, both contribute to solving problems, and all the main characters have their own moments as well.

Loving this story

Just as good as the first in the series. Can’t wait to listen to the third book. Finty Williams is my new favorite narrator.

Excellent storytelling

For some reason, I had a harder time getting into this book. Maybe because it started off from Wyn's point of view and I really wanted to keep hearing the story from her angle. If anyone else is apprehensive about this same thing, rest assured that the author uses both perspectives and does a VERY good job of spanning it out. Some authors like to get to the crux of a situation and BOOM! CHARACTER CHANGE! This author doesn't aim to infuriate you like that lol.

The story is evenly paced. Character developments make sense and follow through the entire storyline. Its a fun ride with some romance, humor, action, "suspense," and world building appropriately sprinkled throughout.

The story gets and remains interesting. I truly enjoyed it. I love the narrator. I feel she does an amazing job. Good pace, good inflections, good enunciation, etc. Very well done!

Not as fun as the first one...but still good!
