About this listen

I thought a weekend away would be the perfect escape. Until I woke up married and trapped...by the king of the Dark Fae.

Neon Gods meets Fifty Shades… Deliciously dark and sexy!”—#1 NYT bestselling author Helen Hardt

For Bryn Meara, a free trip to the exclusive and ultra-luxe Nightfall hotel and casino in Vegas should’ve been the perfect way to escape the debris of her crumbling career. But waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think. It seems her dark and sexy new husband is actual royalty—the fae king of the Night Court—and there’s an entire world beneath the veil of Vegas.

Whether light or shadow, the fae are a far cry from fairy tales, and now they’ve made Bryn a pawn in their dark games for power. And Caiden is the most dangerous of all—an intoxicating cocktail of sin and raw, insatiable hunger. She should run. But every night of passion pulls Bryn deeper into his strange and sinister world, until she’s no longer certain she wants to leave…even if she could.

Fae in Vegas?! Hmm lemme see…

Ok ok… weird concept at first right? Then BAM! The eyes, the enrapture. The plot twist and fae games and all the secrets. Kink. More kink and a twisted spicy love.

I’d roll the dice to go there!

Great fantasy storyline

I loved that the story reminded me of True Blood one of my favorite shows. I don't usually read these and this was the first one but definitely will not be my last

Big Fan

It was like true blood and discovery of witches combined into one and I am here for it. Both narrators were 👌🏼 I could listen to Aiden Snow for forever.

Really good except…

I really loved this book, but the ending sucks.. it just leaves you hanging and the next book is about Tiernan so basically you’re just stuck with no real closer. The narration was amazing.

Loved the story

Loved everything about it. The narrators did a great job capturing my attention. The plot kept my attention. I honestly wouldn’t say these are stand alone books. I think you should read all three in the right order to understand the entirety of the story.

Yes please!

So I was a little skeptical about reading this. The Fae in Vegas didn’t seem like something I would enjoy boy was I wrong totally worth reading and besides, you can’t go wrong with Aiden snow as a narrator.

Great voices

Separate readers had to do male or female voice leaving me wanting each section to be both voices

Bryn and Caiden

This book hooked me from the beginning. Caiden Verran was attracted to Bryn almost as soon as their eyes met. He approaches her in his casino. They spend the night together and wake up married. Neither of them remember what happened. This is not good since Caiden is the Dark Fae King. He wants to get the marriage annulled but cannot until he can have the tie between them broken. She has to remain close to him or he gets deathly sick. He ends up making her move into his home against her will but it is not against her will for long. To me, for most of the book, Caiden was not likeable in the way he treated Bryn. His two brothers are just as gorgeous as he is and the next book is about his brother Tiernan. The Verran brothers were great! There are other forces are at play and it was interesting how it played out. I highly recommend this book. Aiden Snow and Avery Reid did a great job of bringing this story to life.
