About this listen
He requires a wife. She needs to kill him. All's fair in pursuit of love and revenge.
What's a vampire to do when the fae who made her an orphan is searching for a wife? Make him choose her and end his life on their wedding night, of course.
Brynleigh has been carefully planning this for years. Her plan is simple: date Ryker Waterborn, the Fae Representative's son, make him fall in love with her, and kill him after they say, "I do."
Unfortunately, it will not be that easy. She won't be the only one going after Ryker's hand. Far from it. Two dozen men and women are competing in the choosing, each searching for their perfect partner. The catch? It's a blind selection process, and contestants won't see each other until they have made their choice.
Nothing will stand between Brynleigh and her revenge, not even a competition for love.
A Game of Love and Betrayal is the first book in The Choosing Chronicles, a captivating enemies-to-lovers, new adult contemporary high fantasy romance.

Story
Ryker Waterborn's heart is broken, and his wife is a killer. Their marriage is a sham, built on a foundation of murder, lies, and deceit. They're broken. Destroyed. Yet, even after hearing her confession, Ryker cannot leave Brynleigh in the pit. In an act of foolish love, he makes a deal to set Brynleigh free. All she has to do is go back to her maker and find evidence that Jelisette de la Point is a traitor. That's easier said than done, but Brynleigh is left with no choice. She can either accept the deal or rot behind bars. Worse than all that is her relationship with Ryker.

After all, he's only alive because of her. When she orders him to marry and bind himself to Luna, a human hailing a neighboring kingdom, he has no choice. He agrees to the marriage but never expects to feel anything for her.

Story
The guards arrive at my humble cottage with a ridiculous offer: Come to an exclusive and mysterious isle to compete for the hand of a royal husband. Enjoy a week of glittering balls, dancing, ostentatious wealth…and a royal hunt. All I have to do is to get rejected by a prince, and I’ll be sent home with a pot of money. My father tells me it’s dangerous. He begs me not to go. But I'd do anything for him, I could change our lives with this money.

Story
I used to have big dreams: finish college, make beautiful art, all while taking over my dad’s business. He wanted a legacy, and I wanted to give it to him. But his illness wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was his sudden need to keep me locked up in our mansion, safe and isolated. I want more from life, but could only spend my days waiting. Until one night, I came face-to-face with a street biker from a world far different from mine. What starts as him stalking me, quickly spirals into something deeper, and more deadly.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Ryker Waterborn's heart is broken, and his wife is a killer. Their marriage is a sham, built on a foundation of murder, lies, and deceit. They're broken. Destroyed. Yet, even after hearing her confession, Ryker cannot leave Brynleigh in the pit. In an act of foolish love, he makes a deal to set Brynleigh free. All she has to do is go back to her maker and find evidence that Jelisette de la Point is a traitor. That's easier said than done, but Brynleigh is left with no choice. She can either accept the deal or rot behind bars. Worse than all that is her relationship with Ryker.

Okay performance, not great plot or characters
After 10 hours of listening to the MFC be wishy washy and talk about the same stuff she was conflicted over endlessly, then immediately do the opposite, I was SO bored. I found myself skipping past a lot of her POV. Meanwhile MMC was more enjoyable, but I still found him lacking in personality. Maybe it was the setting. I despise reality tv type love game shows and I didn’t realize that was the setting for this book, almost DNF when I realized that. But I was promised a strong bad a** morally grey MFC so I thought I’d give it a chance and push through. It wouldn’t be the first series that had been like that.
But no. Finished this one and started the second and decided to be done after a handful of chapters. Our supposed assassin vampire bad a** morally grey MFC is just not that. Her character is inconsistent. The MMC is passive and dull at best.
I think it could have been better, even with the setting, had “the choosing” been only like the first third of the book, we got to see the characters interacting with their friends more and get to know them outside of their interactions with each other, and if the MFC had been more strong willed and consistent and… a little more heartless.. the more morally grey one. And if they had been more slow burn.
That all being said, the performance was Okay. I really hated the female narrator’s voice for the men. But I really liked the male narrator.
I hate to leave negative reviews. I’m sure some will love it. But if you’re looking for a strong morally grey MFC and a slow burn, this isn’t the one for you.

slow burn, wonderful world building, strong FM, cliffhanger
Ok, I was presently surprised by this book. There is a very interesting story line. The narration was good, though some of the extra character voices could have been better. The chemistry obetween
Ryker and Brynliegh wassmoking hot. The male voice was dreamy, deep, rumbly and the female voice was surprising plasing and raspy. This book ends on a huge cliffhanger, so beware if your reading it before book two comes out. I cannot wait to read book two and find out what happened

I loved everything except the main character's name. Every time I heard "Brynleigh", I thought of my cousin, which was extremely problematic at times. Otherwise, what a great story with unexpected twists.

Fun listen
This book was a slow burn that was definitely worth it. You had a chance to get to know the characters before everything went down. I am a sucker for an equal power dynamic and a FMC who can fend for herself.
For the reviewers saying they were tired of Brynleigh 'whining'. My brother in Christ, there is a reason she was sent to kill the dude. That is not something you forget because the guys is hunky and says the right things!
I digress. This is a good listen and I devoured it in two days. Do yourself a favor and give it a go.

Could NOT get through it
The premise was interesting but the supposed relationship building was ridiculous, it came out of nowhere. All of a sudden he feels so protective of her? From what? It just felt forced and ridiculous.

This book is slow moving trash
Slowest moving most repetitive storyline that finally moves forward in the last 35 minutes only to end on a ridiculously predictable cliffhanger designed solely to try to sell you the next book. Trash.
