Publisher's summary

My family is cursed, and I’m the next victim.

At least, that’s what my father believes. His obsession with the sleeping curse that took my mother has driven him mad.

Growing up as the daughter of Hollywood royalty put me constantly in the sights of paparazzi. So when an invitation to visit Prince Phillip of Ashea arrives, I jump at the chance to get away from the cameras. He’s the man I’ve wanted since we were both children.

But I’ve only ever had him once upon a dream.

My prince is everything I envisioned, but a dark brooding presence has worked his way between us. Malachi, his wicked step-brother, weaves his spell around me. I should choose Phillip, but I want Mal just as badly.

In the halls of the castle, I discover fate has plans for the three of us.

One of them is destined to save me. The other is my curse.

And me? I need them both.

Cursed is a menage Sleeping Beauty retelling with a twist. Two dragons, one princess, and a destiny none of them can escape.

Great Retelling

This was a really fun retelling of Sleeping Beauty. I absolutely loved the connection to the Mate Games and got so excited hearing Noah and Kingstons name. I then started to back track with other names and got even giddier. I love the dueling dragons and true loves kiss in a new twist. The narration was perfect as these 2 always are. JFs accent for Mal and then switching to Philip was so seamless. Stella is just a master at accents and the coven she accented for was so great.

LOVE THE NARRATION!!!❤️❤️

Amazing narration! I'm obsessed with the duet and full cast narration. J.F. Harding & Stella Hunter did an awesome job. The story was well written, but I wish it was longer! Another great gem by K. Lorraine!

Do you like fairy tales.

This story definitely has a fairy tale Vibe going. It has a Prince in fact it has 2, It's got a curse, And it's mysterious so it's even more than that. Oh and let's not forget the spice 2 guys 1 girl do I need to say anymore, Then fighting over a girl. And welthe narrators they can't do anything wrong I love Stella she is just fabulous she always has a way of bringing that story to life and making me feel like I'm in a movie motion pitcher and of course let's not forget the male narrator now he also is fabulous. So if you're interested in a fairy tale with some spice you can't go wrong here.

Great!

It was a great pace and the performance was wonderful. It had the right elements of any great book.

Loved it!

I loved this!
I only have one complaint about this book and that is that I wish it was longer. I need more!

Story: 5 stars!
Duet narration: 5 stars!

An MFM retelling of Sleeping Beauty? Yes, please!

When Aurora and her friends are invited to a charity ball by an old acquaintance, Prince Phillip, she's intrigued and excited to see him again. There's definitely some chemistry between them. Aurora is also looking forward to getting a reprieve from her father's tales of a curse that killed his wife/her mother years previous. To Phillip's dismay, his unwelcome stepbrother Mal shows up for the festivities, and messes up his plans for him and Aurora. Unknown to Aurora, her father's ramblings are very accurate, and Phillip will have to reveal himself at risk of losing Aurora. Don't forget about Mal, but I won't give any spoilers on his role in all this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Lots of action, plenty of heat, and several surprises. Although brief, this was a wonderful retelling of Sleeping Beauty. This was also my first encounter with dragon shifters. Wow! Stella Hunter and JF Harding are superb in their narration. Both are favorite narrators for me, and their wonderful talents are on display as they both take on multiple characters.

Outstanding

Outstanding book I just wish there was a continuation that I could find I really want the story to continue

Not to be missed!

I absolutely loved this re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty. This different take on this classic is definitely worthy of multiple listens. Both Stella Hunter & double the J.F. Harding were fantastic in this book. This short, hot and steamy book is a repeat listen for sure!

You have changed my mind!

I don't like retellings at all but this one changed my mind! the story was fantastic and the narration was choice!!!

Brilliant twist on a beloved story!

Cursed is a Sleeping Beauty retelling with a brilliant twist we could really only get from Kim Loraine. Even though this is a story we all know and love, I was very pleasantly surprised in all the best ways. Aurora lost her mother to the curse and her father is overwhelmed with grief and focused on breaking the curse before it takes her too. Little does he know that things are already in motion and it is out of his hands. When the handsome prince Phillip invites Aurora to his home for a charity event she can’t refuse we are taken on a magical journey with plenty of steam in this short story. This is already a multiple listen for me. Loved it, and looking forward to more retellings by Kim. Narration by JF Harding and Stella was perfection with all of the various characters voiced beautifully. I just love them together!
