Publisher's summary

A fae prince with a poisoned heart. A mortal girl with a magical voice. Neither one believes in fairy tales.

City waitress Lara has the voice of an angel and no idea she's marked as the fated mate of a silver-eyed royal from another realm. When she falls into Faery and meets an obnoxious huntsman who mistakes her for a troll, she's amazed to discover he's the cursed Prince of Air in disguise. Ever's mother, the queen, is less than impressed. The opposing court of techno-loving Unseelie wants her as their very own pet. And an evil air mage wishes her dead.

Held captive by Elemental fae in the Land of Five, she's certainly hit rock bottom. But songs wield power, and Lara happens to be a true diva. Now if only she can use her newfound magical skill to make the Prince of Never a little less attractive. The first thing she wants is to find a way back home, and the last is to fall in love.

Ever and Lara think they know what they want, but destiny and an age-old curse have other ideas.

Entrancing Story with Incredible Character Development

At first, the narration comes off a little stiff, but stick with it. As the story unfolds, you will be on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next. You will look past the stiffness of the male narrator, because the story is too good not to listen to. I’m excited to read and listen to more from Juno Heart.

It was okay.

I generally liked the story but there were some things I really didn't love.

The prince was not really that likable at all. He felt too bloodthirsty and animalistic. There was nothing very charming about him except that he was supposedly super hot looking.
I also didn't love how lustful he was towards Laura. There were little inuendos between them and the before and after of a sleeping scene. technically this was a closed door romance which was good. It just felt a little shallow and I think because I didn't like the prince it was a little off putting.

Laura was much more likable so there were redeeming things about this story, but I think it could have been better. I would have liked more wholesome romance with more friendship based type love than the overly lustful desire between these two.

a fun adventure

the story is set in another world the author does well in describing it. "I love it" it is, just like they say at the beginning, a movie in your mind LOL.

Loved it, wish there was a second book.

Loved this book. I really did enjoy the reading of it and am a bit disappointed that the rest of the series isn't available here.

Five star story, but the execution was a bit lackluster.

The story is a five star story, but as a listener whom is also reading the story at the same time on kindle am quite disappointed that when there's singing there's no real singing. I also have noticed that the spicy parts have been completely redacted from the audiobook which takes away completely from the immersion. I will definitely be rereading the actual book without the audiobook. Either put all of the book into the audiobook or don't make the audiobook at all. That is a hill I am willing to stand on.

Slow building romance

Definitely a great enemies to lovers story. Lara is very stubborn and Ever is very stuck up. they change and open their hearts as the story progresses although there are times you want to tell at them out of frustration. The ending ties everything up nicely and sets up the sequel. I'm excited for the next one!

Enjoyable story

Enjoyed the narrators, dual POV. And loved the story.. humans, fairies, magic, and a curse… loved it!

The story line of the curse was pretty good

I liked the storyline, it had me wanting to hear more. There was a lot of foreshadowing for the next book. Good read but light spice.

Humor

The character is very witty and talkative. The conversations are funny so it makes you want to keep listening to find out what will happen next.

enthralling story

this story caught my attention and kept it. I want to listen to more but the next book is t recorded yet...
