The Prince of Secrets

Stariel, Book 2

By: AJ Lancaster

Narrated by: Finty Williams

Well-bred women should not be seen kissing their butlers. Even when the butler in question is secretly a fae prince.

Wyn knows falling for Hetta Valstar is a bad idea. She's not only human but the new magically bonded ruler of Stariel Estate. If their relationship gets out, it'll cause a scandal that could ruin their attempts to sort out the estate's crumbling finances. Of course, it doesn't help that Stariel has decided it doesn't like him.

But much more than just jealous, sentient estates and Hetta's good name are at stake. Wyn’s past is coming back to bite him. Ten years ago, he broke an oath and shattered the power of his home court, and the fae have been hunting him ever since. Now they’ve found his hiding place, and they won’t rest until he’s dead or the debt is repaid—and they don’t play nicely.

Love this series and the narrator!

I adore the narrator’s voice. It’s beautiful and soothing and her inflection and tone is perfect. The stories are so entertaining. There’s some fun humor but the storyline itself keeps you interested. Cannot wait to get into the next one!

Wonderful

Love this series- I hope that it keeps going. Such clever and smart characters. Very easy read

Can’t wait to keep going

This series made me go out and buy a pack of three credits so I could keep reading! I didn’t want to wait a minute. I’m so glad I found this series- it’s fun and engaging and fresh as well. The characters are delightful and I want more!

Loving this story

I have been enjoying this story a great deal. The personalities are all well-defined, and the story has pulled me in. I particularly like the different twist given to this world- so different than the norms of the “fae genre” but still incorporating the most intriguing parts and with satisfying detail.
So far I’ve found few series as interesting as “The Cruel Prince” but this one has something I like more. Yes the heroine is human and shows herself smart, capable and strong, but the fae hero ALSO gets to display his own strengths and capabilities. Most books tend to have one, usually the heroine these days, outshine the other. I like that so far, both contribute to solving problems, and all the main characters have their own moments as well.

Excellent storytelling

Just as good as the first in the series. Can’t wait to listen to the third book. Finty Williams is my new favorite narrator.
