Historia
A town will only suffer the presence of a witch for as long as she is useful. Aisling watches the flames lick her thighs and prays for a quick death. But when an Unseelie prince appears through the smoke, she does what any self respecting witch would do. She curses him. Bran should never have traveled to the human realm, and is shocked when a witch binds them together. His life is hers and he refuses to die. He saves her from the fires, casts a hex on the townsfolk for good measure, then whisks her away to safety. His only stipulation? She has to remove the binding curse.

Again with the cover! Every book in this series has a cover to die for. I cannot get over how beautiful they are. I need paperbacks. I need them on my desk all the time so that I can just look at them all day! “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” is an excellent saying, but in this case, go ahead. This cover is fantastic, and it’s not even one tenth as amazing as the story.
Now, the technical: The characters are amazing. Filly developed and intriguing, both Bran and Aisling kept me on my toes. I have, of course, loved Bran for several books now, and could not wait to see where his story would lead. Aisling is everything I could have ever wanted for him and more. She is strong, fierce and just a touch vulnerable. She is perfect! (Am I gushing? I can’t help it! I’m riding this post book high! So good!)
The world building is, as always from Emma, phenomenal. We’ve been in this world (These worlds) for four books now, you’d expect that the Otherworld would be out of surprises, but NOPE! I am obsessed with the Unseelie court. The characters and creatures, the scenery, the architecture, all of it fantastic.
The plot was shocking. I don’t use that word lightly. Very few plot twists shock me. I was shocked. Definitely a page turner, I could not put this book down. I read the whole thing in just a few hours. I need more. I cannot wait to find out what happens next!
There is so much more I could say, but I am afraid of accidentally spoiling something. So I’ll shut up. It is only through great restraint that I’m stopping. 😉
If you have not read this series, start at the beginning, (Heart of the Fae) pour yourself a big mug of tea and settle in. You’re in for a treat! If you have read the rest of the series, you need zero encouragement from me. Grab this book like the decadent morsel it is and sink your teeth in.

Historia
After being left brokenhearted by a duplicitous rake, Anne Adair no longer desires a husband - she wants justice. She's traded in her foolish dream of happily ever after for the much more sensible one of thwarting the blackhearted lords who prey on innocent debutantes. But her first mission proves rather complicated when the dashing, devilish Duke of Kilmartin comes to the aid of her target.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This entire series is a pure joy to read. This one has been my favorite of the series so far.
Regular readers of Julie’s will know that she knows her way around a Scott. *sigh* But I am getting ahead of myself.
This story is yet another excellent example of Julie Johnstone’s mastery. The cast of characters is sublime. If you have read the rest of the series, prepare for cameos by all of your old favorites, and redemption of a few of your old enemies.
Simon is a divine hero. He is one of those characters that truly tries to be a hardened baddie, but can’t help being a good person at heart. His motives may start out impure, but if you give him a chance, you will fall as head over heels in love with him as I did.
Anne is an absolutely amazing character. I have loved her from her sister’s story, but she shines so much brighter in her own! Anne is no meek damsel, she is a strong woman who can take care of herself, (And her friends) thank you! I adored her! Though she feels emotion deeply, Anne thinks critically, seeks facts, and forms her own conclusions. I found this a bit rare in the romance genre, and extremely refreshing.
Over all this story was wonderful. I have missed this series, and I am so glad to have read the next chapter.
Have you listened to any of Tim Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. Every book read by Tim is amazing. This one is no different. Tim is my favorite audible Narrator.
