Re-read on audio: Olivia King and Adam Gold are definitely on my list of favorite narrators by now. She does such a good job of digging into the emotion of the characters and he definitely does the Davin-swagger justice. I loved this second chance love story the first time through but it was a great experience on audio as well.

Original Review: I have read every one of this duo’s books so I’m definitely a super fan but I just love the stories that they craft. The Lochlann Feuds is my favorite series of theirs so I was excited to get Davin’s story and be back in this world. This book did not disappoint! It was everything that I wanted for Davin and Galina. Tension and swoon as they fight to be honest with each other about what they really want, a new mysterious evil in Lochlann and horribly wicked villains in Socair then oh man, what an ending! I’ll just be here waiting for the conclusion in the next book because I want a happy ending for these two.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the authors and these are my honest thoughts.

The authors did a good job of shining a light on a really horrible part of history for these young girls that were taken from their homes and went through horrifying atrocities at the hands of others. While dealing with topics like prostitution and opium addiction, the book still stayed firmly in a place that is appropriate for young readers. If you like books that teach important lessons through historical fiction that you can share with your kids, then this is a good choice.

The friendship between the two main characters was sweet. The emotional journey of Tai Choi/Tien Fu as she learns to bloom where she was planted and help others get out of bad situations was moving. The story was a little anticlimactic for me and this isn’t my normal pick but I think it would appeal to those that do enjoy this type of story.

This series is one of my favorites and I have been anxiously awaiting this omnibus with bonus content since I found out it was coming. This is what I consider to be a light fantasy romance with many favorite tropes—enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity and maybe even a touch of forbidden love. It has politics, great family dynamics and some very real issues that arise in relationships and marriage. So many romance stories end at the wedding but this one shows a couple working through so many relatable issues while still being a fun, fantasy read. The bonus content is fantastic and made the stories even more satisfying for this fan! I highly recommend this series if you like strong female leads, sometimes morally grey heroes and “it had to be you” romance.

Olivia King and Adam Gold did a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life. They both managed multiple accents, many different characters and did great with opposite gender voicing during dialogue.

January 2023 Re-Read on Audio: I still love this story and these characters. As usual, audio is just as enjoyable for me but it gives you a different experience when to hear the emotions being spoken aloud. I have enjoyed Olivia King’s narration through all four books and also enjoyed the added narration from Adam Gold doing the chapters from Evander’s perspective. Highly recommend if you live fantasy romance.

Original Review: What a whirlwind of a story and fantastic conclusion to Rowan’s story! I had no idea how this was going to resolve but the authors did a great job wrapping up the story. I’m not usually a crier with books but this one almost got me in several places. There is a lot of character development in this book as Rowan and Evander learn how to be married all while dealing with the threat of death coming from multiple fronts. Definitely worth your time. My ONLY complaint is that I wanted a longer or further out in time epilogue.

This is book 3 in a fantasy romance series that has it all - romance, humor and action but this installment of the story is by far the most romantic of the 4. It is such a journey and the narrator does a great job of conveying all these emotions. I also think she does a great job with male/female voicing and mixed accents. I love this story but I really enjoyed experiencing it in this medium as well.

I have read this series multiple times and it is one of my favorites but this was my first listen of the audiobook. I really enjoyed Olivia King’s narration of this epic story as she speaks from Charlie’s POV. Her accent is perfect for the setting and the tone/rhythm is well done. Plus with this version, you get the bonus chapters at the end from Logan’s point of view which add so much depth to the storyline. Charlie has so much growth in this story and the romance is heartbreaking at times but with so many swoony moments along the way.

I LOVE this series and this book is my absolute favorite of them all! I read the ebook version of this last year so I knew the story but the narration was so fantastic that it was like hearing it for the first time. The book is an emotional ride for me as you see the two main characters begin to see each other differently and Olivia King captures all of those emotions in her narration. This was very well done and highly recommended by me.

I read the ebook version of this book and loved it so much that I wanted to try the audiobook. The narration was just fantastic. Olivia King perfectly performs Rowan’s snark and I loved her accents and voicing for the Socairans. Other narrators that I have heard struggle with different voices especially when switching between male and female voicing but this was very well done. This series is one of my favorites and I thoroughly enjoyed this audio version. I would recommend this for any YA fantasy lovers.
