Steel Heart Iron Claws

The Godkissed Bride, Book 3

By: Evie Marceau

Narrated by: Phillipa Miller, Walker Williams

The fae gods have awoken… and they're merciless.

Sabine finally had a chance at a life with Basten. Simple. Free. But gods and men conspired to rip them apart. Now, on the eve of war, Sabine is trapped in her father's secret-shrouded court, prized as the gods' new plaything. She clings to memories of Basten, the only thing that grounds her in the dangerously bewitching new world. She'll play along in a desperate gamble to escape—but if she slips and shows her true hand, she'll be separated from Basten forever.

Basten is haunted by a love he can't remember. Her face, her name—gone. But her scent lingers, and midnight dreams of his mystery woman torment him. His mind is a black pit of frustration and longing, driving him to question everything he once knew to be true. He follows his obsession north to Sabine's doorstep, where their paths will collide in a deadly game between them and the gods. And the gods don't like to lose.

In this thrilling third installment in the Godkissed Bride series, Sabine and Basten cross worlds to reunite before they're permanently lost to one another—even in memory.

Loved the romance

I loved the suspense and romance ,very well written. Can’t stop listening once you start .

Not quite as good as the first two, but I'm still looking forward to the next one!

This one was disappointing and a bit of a chore to get thru. The trend of authors forcibly separating a romantic couple for the majority of the third/fourth book in a series is getting old. I've only seen it done successfully maybe one time, and this was not it. Add to that the lack of new character/relationship development, some seemingly out of character behavior by the FMC/MMC, and a lot of repetitive inner dialog... yeah, a chore. That said, the last ten minutes made me really excited for the next one. Let's hope it's as good as the first two!

Love it!!!

The foreshadowing was great and the characters are becoming more intriguing. Definitely lots of questions but excited for the next book.

Twist and turns everywhere!

Loved this 3rd book. I laugh out loud and am surprised often. I am excited for the next book.

W. O. W.

This has become a Godkissed Series! My first 5 STARs!!! Book 1- Hooked me, Book 2- Ruined me (in the BEST ways 😭) and Book 3- Ignited me! This book had me in a Chokehold All the Way through. Basten’s MOUTH and sarcasm are my Fave!

It captivated me from the very beginning and never stopped the entire way through. This writer has a lovely way of interlacing the past books to give context without it feeling too repetitive. There were so many moments in my mind where I was like ‘well, why can’t he just do this or why can’t she do this’ and then voilà! They would do them!!! SO satisfying! I felt like the writer was in my mind! So fun and twisty-turny & Terrific banter!

Sabine is about to go CRAY on the next one… I don’t know how I’ll wait for book 4 to be finished but I’ll wait this lifetime through the next! IYKYK

PS- These audio actors were Perfection!!!

That’s how it ends!!!

I need the next book now! That ending was unbelievable! I need to know what happens next, excellent continuation of the series!

Everything

This was great. Exactly what I needed to nurse my romantasy hangover! Well written, wonderful character complexity, and so much depth in the world building. Totally recommend! You won’t be disappointed

Criminal cliff hanger

I’m so mad at you, it was perfect. This was such a fun book. It did have a few turns that surprised me. I enjoyed the intro of new shadow Daddy’s. I loved that we had heel turns. There is good pacing, I was never bored and devours this book.

Disappointed

I am disappointed by this third installment. The story is pretty stupid. While there’s new characters they are not interesting or engaging. Also the situations Sabine and Basten get into are sometimes their own fault. Not the best book.

I would have preferred the book read only in the male voice. The back and forth was annoying

I was angry at the memory loss story line. It’s like this book was written by someone else. Everything seems different than the first 2 books.
