Publisher's summary

For Emily Ford, being awakened in the dead of night by what seems to be the very shadows in her bedroom come to life is the least of her worries as she is spirited away to become the new wife of an elven king for the purpose of bearing his heirs. Entranced despite herself by his ethereal beauty, Emily surrenders willingly to his seduction and is introduced to a new world of sexual pleasures she had not thought possible outside of a dream.

But can a human ever really win the heart of an elf or have a place within the elven court, especially when the biggest obstacles to both are her new husband's barren and resentful queen, who makes no qualms about wanting Emily gone and is prepared to do the unspeakable to make it happen, and the whispers of anti-human sentiments within the elven court, itself?

Which scene was your favorite?

This is audiobook is about Emily, a human, who is transported to the world of the Sidhe and transmuted magically into one herself. The story is very interesting and well developed.I enjoy listening to this audiobook.

Meh...

Interesting plot line, however not as developed as it could have been. Horrible narration too.

Narration was distracting.

I like the story. There were some gaps in the story line, so sometimes I got disoriented with the passing of time. Really good sex and great characters. I could have listened to the story for many more hours! Just didn't like the forceful way the narrator interpreted the text.

Juvenile inner dialogues

The story has great potential. The juvenile inner dialogues of the heroine who is supposed to be a well educated individual with a Ph.D. just ruined it for me.

Why are you a series of noevellas?

The story line was a great place to start on a new series. My biggest question is why is this a novella vs a fully explored novel? Did no one in the publishing department see this as an opportunity to expound upon a rather good PNR moment? I truly liked it. Just wish it would have been further expounded upon.

Elves! Sex and adventure

Great pace, story and narration! Moves through time quickly. Magic and transformation was great. Excellent

ok story

the story contradicts what the main character says verses what she does. it's a shame cause the outline of this story could have been alot better. the narrator at times sounds like a robot.

I had trouble getting past the beginning.

I don't like to give negative reviews, and I was really looking forward to the story. I expected it to be short and not extremely deep, but it is a good story. However, I had trouble getting past the bad editing at the beginning. The descriptions and the sentences were too wordy, they didn't evoke imagery and I really wish they had because this had so much possibility. The conversation is well written, and I am going to continue to listen and give it a chance. I like the voice of the person who was reading it, I even liked how she did the male voice, and differentiated between the female voices, however the pacing could have been managed better. I would definitely listen to the reader again. I think the author has potential and would like to see something else that she has written, I will definitely try again.

I love this story

Such an romantic fantasy, I loved Sethian and Emily, I like their kids too even their oldest son. It's such a lovely story.
