Publisher's summary

She needed an escape. He needed her.

Galina has been looking for a way out. So when she has the chance to get out of her kingdom and away from the man who wants to own her, she has no choice but to see it through.

Even if it means collecting on a life debt from the worst decision she’s ever made.

Davin’s mistakes are catching up to him. A lifetime as the royal screwup of the Lochlannian line has landed his people in danger. So when Galina shows up at his door in need of a betrothal, it might just solve all of his problems.

Even if it means playing house with a woman who hates him.

But their ruse is dangerous. Between spies, court politics, and an uprising that wants to destroy them both, they’ll have to decide if their lie is worth fighting for.

If they are worth fighting for.

Love this world! And Adam Gold….

Love me some Elbin magic! This is one of my absolute favorites worlds and I love , love, love the family and all their dynamics. I’ve read everything written by these two geniuses and listened to every audiobook as well, and have loved them all. I could fall asleep listening to Adam Gold every night in any accent and die happy. I actually thought his ability to change his voice for each character in this book was even batter than the last. My only complaints would be that we have the same voices reading different characters in the same world. It took me a minute to get over his voice as anything other than Evander. And I loved Olivia as Rowan and even Charlie. Though that also took a minute going from one character to the other in the same voice, but in this book, it seemed super strange to me that her accents were completely different between narration and dialog. It took me some time to adjust to that, but I never could figure out why the accents were different. And I struggled to hear her voice as Galena without thinking it was Rowan.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book on audible! Looking forward to the next one!!

Extraordinary!

This story stands alone extremely well. However, the ties back to previous series gives it richness & depth.

I recommend this book to anyone that loves a second chance love story!

I loved this book!
Read it and now I’ve listened to the audiobook and I can’t wait for the second book!

The two authors are so good at making the characters come to life and making you feel like you know them. It is an enemies to lovers second chance love and it ended on a major cliff hanger.
I have read the Lochlann Teaty and Lochlann Feuds series and I highly recommend reading them before this book.

More Lochlann Magic!

Hollow Court is pure Lochlann magic! I loved The Lochlann Treaty* and the Lochlann Fueds* series, so I was thrilled to visit Lochlann again! It was a surprise  to discover that Davin's heartsore memories from Socair surround Lady Galina! This is their story.

As always, Elle and Robin's writing casts a spell! I was immediately drawn in and completely engrossed. Growing pains, jealousy, misunderstandings,  political intrigue, and danger unfold alongside heart and humor and love. 
They never disappoint!

New to Lochlann? Welcome! The Lochlann Treaty* and Lochlann Fueds* are completed series which occur prior to Hollow Court. Olivia King and Adam Gold superbly bring them all to life as audiobooks!

5 Amazing Stars!!

I absolutely adore the Lochlann world and was so excited to return once again with this story! If you've read Rowan's story, then you already previously met Davin. And I just loved him!! He's a rogue, but in a charming and funny good way. The cliffhanger ending left me in pieces!! I cannot wait for the next book!!
Amazing audio narration that truly brings the characters to life!!

Hi hum, make up my mind

I liked both of the main characters but not so many crisises . Everything was a misunderstanding and neither one was willing to appear interested

The Start of another great collection

Love the continuation of the Lochlann family and the other clans… stories are adventurous, sensual and full of snarky humor. Narration is elegantly done.

Perfect Narration to a Perfect Book

Love vs Loyalty

The narration in this book is absolute perfection. The book itself is filled with familial drama, complex politics, and a second chance romance full of swoon-worthy moments. Loved returning to Lochlann and following Davin’s and Galina’s beginning story.

Excellent 😍

Davin is one of my favorite Lochlann characters and I’m so happy to hear his story after getting an into to him in the Lochlann Feuds series. Davin & Galina's banter back and forth makes you want to keep listening. Also, I could listen to Olivia King & Adam Gold read books all day! 10/10 recommend.

🔥

Sultry, captivating and immensely engaging. This author duo has it down. I just finished Lochlann Feud series, and was longing for more. This did the trick! The performance from the narrator's was outstanding (as always). Can't wait for the next book to come out.
