Story
Marry me for one year. Payment: $1.2 million. Hayden Somerset is convinced the ad is a joke, but he responds anyway because, hello, $1.2 million. He’s broke, living in a tiny apartment with two roommates, and exhausted from praying his ancient car survives just one more week. His skyrocketing rent and crushing student loans aren’t helping either. At this point, there isn’t much Hayden wouldn’t do for that kind of cash.

Story
Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

Sir Gawain, First Knight of the Realm, is tasked by his older sister the Queen to travel to the edges of their kingdom, where a beast is flaming villagers and has the locals ready to form a mob and hunt it down themselves. His mission is to find the dragon, stop the violence, and do what he needs to maintain the peace. His journey puts him in the heart of a confrontation with the dragon, but instead of saving the villagers, it is the dragon that needs rescuing. Zephyr, a fire dragon and an escaped slave, needs protection, time to heal, and a chance at a life full of hope.

Story
Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

When sent to Earth on a mission to live and work together, Nathaniel comes face-to-face with his destiny.

The last place Lord Tristram Radcliffe ever expected to find himself was right hand to the Llangardian throne. His parentage should have seen him banished, but he managed to keep his draconic secret. Now, King Reynold is dead. Long live King Roland. The boy ascends to rule a kingdom in chaos, and Tristram must undo the damage of the last king's reign to save his people from lean winter and wolves in the palace itself. Reynold’s former shadow, Bet Kyston, is determined to root out King Roland's enemies, but his version of help may cause as much harm as good.

Lord Tristram Radcliffe has a secret - he is the only dragon at the king’s court in Llangard. It’s a secret he’s kept from the knights he’s fought beside, from the ladies who bat their lashes at him, and from his closest companion, Prince Reynold. If it were to get out, he’d be banished to the Mawrcraig Mountains along with the rest of his kind, but the kingdom of men is the only one he’s ever known, and his heart lives in the stone halls of those who’d count him an enemy.

I used to think vampires were the stuff of fiction. Now my brother has a baby with fangs and there's bottles of blood in our fridge, so obviously, I was wrong about that. It's not the only thing I was wrong about, either. I'm a nerd, I'm supposed to be smart, but honestly? I'm starting to realize I can be pretty darn clueless. For one, I never realized that my best friend was in love with me. Not until after he died in a vampire attack. To protect me. His death shattered my whole world. Seeing him again is like a miracle. Even if he has fangs now.

No indiscriminate killing. No collateral damage. No unvetted targets. These are the rules Hawes Madigan lives by. Rules that make being Fog City's Prince of Killers bearable. Soon, he'll be king - of an organization of assassins - and the crown has never felt heavier. Until the mysterious Dante Perry swaggers into his life. Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one, too, all loose-limbed and casually confident. He also carries a concealed weapon, a private investigator's license, and a message for the prince.

Publisher's Summary
Faery royalty have always married for duty rather than love. Prince Chrysanths should be no different - except with a human for a father, the prince known as Puck already is different. When he is betrothed against his will to Prince Sky, Puck flees to his father in the human world, only to have Sky follow.
Prince Sky Song of the Clouds isn't thrilled with the prospect of marriage either, but is bound by duty to follow through - if he can't win Puck over, the faery realm might very well dissolve into utter chaos. Too busy arguing, Puck and Sky are unaware there are others with a vested interest in seeing the betrothal fail. In a bid for Puck's crown, they'll seek to keep them apart, even as Puck and Sky realize that duty and love don't always have to be mutually exclusive.

Good, But Left me with Questions.
Would you try another book from Therese Woodson and/or Matthew Lloyd Davies?
Yes on the Therese Woodson and maybe on Matthew Lloyd Davies. In order for me to listen to a book with Davies as the narrator, it would have to have no sex and be a book with straight people as their main characters. Mr. Davies has an amazing English accent and his American one was decent. I just had an issue when the two main young men were being intimate and his...portrayal of what they said.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I'd say that the most interesting aspect was the world of the faeries, because they're not your normal, every day fairy. The least interesting aspect would be how much time it spent in the human world explaining human things. I was way more interested in faery customs, but the whole book takes place in the human realm. It needed to for this particular story, but I think that it could've had another character possibly and explained what it was like to live in the other world for more than maybe .01% of the book. Or, it could've gone back further with Puck and Sky to when they were younger and talked about how they've been told since birth they were going to be betrothed to a faery from another kingdom. Then, it would've given the author the chance to describe some faery customs in detail.
What three words best describe Matthew Lloyd Davies’s voice?
British. Proper. Range.
Could you see Betrothed being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Yes, but unfortunately, the world is not ready for this one to be a big budget film or tv series. The world has come a long way for gay people, but it's just not ready for this. As far as stars, I'd have to say I'd love to see Jonny Weston play Puck, Emma Stone as Amy, Liam Hemsworth as Sky (Even though his character changed--Hemsworth would fit the Sky from the last half of the book)--Everyone else has a really small role, so I can't think of anyone else to play the characters.
Any additional comments?
I wrote a review of this book and, I'm not sure why, but it wasn't submitted or it was rejected. I wish audible would let me know if it was the latter. Anyway, I have questions about this book and I'd love for anyone to contact me if they can answer or would like to discuss. Last time, I put my email up here, so maybe that's why it wasn't published. Questions: 1. Are all Faeries bisexual? They obviously wouldn't use that term, but it just seems like any faery can be attracted to any faery. What if Puck or Sky wasn't attracted to men? The anatomy is different, even for faeries. Thank God they explained how two faeries of the same gender can have heirs, because that was bugging me for half of the book. Which leads me to my second question. 2. Based on this book, a human man can get a female faery pregnant. Can a male faery get a female faery pregnant? What about a male faery getting a female human pregnant? 3. Does anyone else believe that Puck would've been the dominant in the relationship until about halfway through? Sky, maybe because of his naive nature in the human world, seemed submissive. Maybe I'm off base, but I believe that these characters kind of swapped roles in the middle.

Loved both the story and narration!
Puck is heir to the Earth throne and Sky to the Air throne. They are forced into a political alliance/marriage that neither wants, but Puck throws the most resistance at actually making it happen.
Puck pouts and returns to his father, on Earth, forcing Sky to follow, even though he could be hurt. There, Puck treats Sky like crap for two weeks, trying to get Sky to renounce the betrothal.
Sky perseveres however and eventually even Puck realizes that there is more than just politics at play and that perhaps an alliance between them won’t be all bad.
**
The first half of the book is full of Puck being an ass. He’s an admitted brat, but slowly and surely he and Sky grow closer. They are super cute together. Sky’s learning of the human world is sometimes adorable and the growing attraction between them is sweet.
When they finally do give it a go as a couple I was entranced and fully engaged in their love story. My only complaint was that we spent so much time with them struggling that I’d have appreciated them as a happy couple for longer than a chapter or two.
I also thought that the extra drama with the opposing house of fire was un-necessary. Simply going from adamantly opposed to in love was enough work for this story.
However, this was truly wonderful book by and large and by a new to me author and I highly recommend it and will look for more of the author’s work in the future gladly.
4.5 of 5 stars
Audio
Matthew Lloyd Davies did an EXCELLENT job narrating this. He did the fairy voices in his loveley British accent and I giggled when he was forced to put on an American accent (which he did remarkably well!) I definitely thought this added to my overall enjoyment and highly recommend this as a way to enjoy this lovely story.

UNEXPECTED FASCINATION !
I finished this book some time ago and just realized that each time I finish a book I check again to see if a follow-up to this book is available yet!
I've been an Audible customer for years and have well over a hundred titles in my library as well as access to dozens of books in my sisters library.
Both collections contain titles I intend to read/ listen to and yet I continue to want more of the world I learned about in this book!
As other reviewers have noted, there are so many interesting differences in the world of the fairies created for this books universe that it will be a shame if we don't have the opportunity to learn more about it.

Love it
Wow, I had forgotten how much I love this book. I bought and read the ebook years ago and I didn’t even know it had made it to audio until I recently discovered a feature in the kindle app that shows you what books you already own are available on audio. I saw this one and I remembered that I liked this book, that I read it more than once which is rare for me, and that it had sent me searching out more mm books with fairies.
Listening to this book that I love was amazing. The narrator is really good and I had forgotten some of the unique concepts the author creates in this book so there was still some surprises along the way along with rediscovering why I loved this book so much. I feel like I didn’t get enough of Sky and Puck and should try to seek out more books like this one again, lol.
Love it, recommend it, will listen again.

Great narrator for a frustrating book
Oh where do I start with this one. First off the narrator did a great job with what he had. It was a little hard sometimes to figure out who was talking but that's pro a ly from directions he was given.
As far as the story J had look at reviews before and they all mirror kinda how I feel. At first I though pucks childish actions were somewhat interesting but they drew old very quickly. Sky was a treat up until the end when he runs off I was pissed.
The bad guy situation I figured out early on (it was PAINFULLY obvious who was the bad guy.) and once they were unmasked they acted like they were mildly I convinced by the whole thing which annoyed me.
Over all the very ending did save this from being a 2 but it's pracarious on its 3 marking.
