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.

Waiting for a credit to get the third

I started this series because the first book was in the free section and I really enjoyed it. Was more captivated by this book than the first and am now impatiently waiting for credit day to get the third.

A Throughly Enjoyable Tale

SPOILER ALERT !

I really enjoyed listening to Finty Williams narration of The Prince of Secrets and the previous book Stariel. The story is based on the Valstar family and their connection to the family land. Wyn is a fae in hiding and has been living as a servant for around ten years in the family home, I don't think the date is mentioned but i believe it would be around the early 1900's. Magic and mayhem ensue when the current Lord dies,Hetta comes home and a romance is between Hetta and Wyn is rekindled. The fae have been searching for Wyn and was found only by chance. They struggle to get fae off the land and away from both Wyn and Hetta.
Finty Williams has the perfect voice for this series. She brought the characters to life wonderfully.

Stariel might be my favourite character

Loved this romp through two fascinating and enthralling lands. An exciting story, with charismatic characters, both living and geographical. Can't wait to read the next in the series.

The Prince of Secrets

Initially this story was very much like the first, the author using the same phrases several times in the first four/ five chapters and the themes mirroring the first story. However,listeners , please do continue to listen as the story gathers a good momentum. I think sometimes when writing a second book writers get so engaged with the first it is hard to break away from some sentiments from the first, a first novel gives one power.
After my initial grumble, the story grew on me and I enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to the third, a story can grow with each re-imagining how exciting for both author and listeners/readers.

The Tension Mounts

The story continues to surprise with twists and turns. Finty Williams narration enlivens every moment with ease and grace. Can't wait for Book 3.

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.
