Summary

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.

Excellent warm feeling fae story

Not as dark as a lot of fae stuff. The mixture of Downton meets fae fantasy is excellent comforting escapism.

everything a great story should be

I love this book it's easy to listen to not so overly complicated a plot that you have to really catch every word to understand what's going on.
yet intriguing enough to keep you wanting to listen to the hole book
love the narrator she give every character depth and personality.
on to the next in the series.

Very enjoyable yet again

I'm pleased to say, the story continues in just as strong a vein as the first book.
Finty Williams is once again excellent and a joy to listen to. I've noticed that she does not narrate the last book in the series and am already not looking forward to the change over.

almost as good as the first

I love the narration, the imagination, and the story. I got hooked immediately on the first in the series which was blindingly good for a free included audiobook. This one was so nearly as good and I would highly recommend as worth a listen

Magic

A great fantasy story, beautifully told. The mixture of fairy and mortal beguiling and rich.

Captivating

Tried 1st book as free listen,enjoyed it very much. The story is getting more involved and creating interest for more. I am very happy that there are a few more books in series. Finty's expressive narration really enhances the listening experience.

Loved this

I started this series because the first book was free, I wasn’t sure about the beginning as I love fantasy and it seemed a bit mundane but I persevered and things improved so I had to get the next. This book is actually better than the first and certainly provides the fantasy I was looking for, do I already have book 3 and will get book 4 as I have to know how it all turns out. Well worth a listen if you like a mix of fantasy and romance.

The characters have no initiative or intellect

If you were being hunted by powerful supernatural beings, what would you do?

I wanted to like the story, but the characters were so irrational and hopeless, I gave up half way.
