Publisher's summary

Behind every good man...is the love of an even better woman. Those were just pretty words before I met Claire Montgomery. Before my fairy queen burst into my life, I didn’t recognize the bastard in my morning mirror - but her love has given me the strength to face the imposter, even embrace him. With Claire at my side, I’m the king I always wanted to be, the Killian Stone I always dreamed of becoming.

Which means for once, I want the mask guarding my secret to stay right where it is.

If you want the grown-up fairy tale... learn to love the dark side.

Profound sentiment. Wish I could get on board with it but the prince in pinstripes has other ideas. Life has been a dream since Killian burst into the ball offering the perfect fit - his heart and mine.

But the treasures he bestows have become his armor, hiding the man I yearn to know.

I refuse to open his little velvet box until he opens himself, letting me see even the dark hallways of his soul...

Fate has always bowed to my bidding.

I should have known it was just picking its time to exact the best revenge, to reveal the secrets that will destroy everything. Without my disguise, am I still the man Claire fell in love with...or another penniless prince vying for an unattainable dream?

Mistress of his ruin?

He always told me to be careful what I wish for. By demanding his truth, have I not only demolished the dream we had...but the man I’ve loved more than any other?

Kind of called it.

Yes, they unnecessarily carried out the issue in this book. Tore me apart but it was an all around good book. It was so annoying that it took someone so long to tell him to get over himself and his "identity crisis", that's the problem that took too long. Kind of dumb. Again, female narrator is whispering the whole time, that is just annoying. I do like how they came out with better all around relationships at the end so, yes the conflict was necessary, it was just too long. Still a good listen, good ending to this couples story. Not sure about listening to the next since that is an even longer 2 book series for the next couple. We will see.

AwesomeAwesome Beautiful Story To Listening To Arthur Have The Wrote The Completed Series For This Story! I Recommend U Read Or Listening To Audience Audio For Ur Self!😁😙😂😘

Bana-still the voice!!!

If this book wasn't free for me, I may have not lessened to it, it felt long. and dragged. I usually love a long book. this one you knew was long. I seemed to repeat itself in actions not necessarily word. At one point I thought we are doing that again.

Story good narration not great

I have to agree with the other ratings that said Devon Grace narration in whisper tones. The story was good but it feel
So much like a cliff hanger making you continue the series to see what happens next.

Abrupt end?

Suddenly “the board” wanted Killian back at the helm (last chapter) after the preceding few chapters went off in a different direction. Seemed like the writer wanted to wrap up the story but either ran out of or didn’t want to develop ideas to make the story flow better.
Otherwise the narration was very good, Jason Clarke’s voice is awesome per usual.

Struggling...

I am struggling to finish this. The female narrator whispers throughout the entire book. I want to continue the series but I will not suffer through if she is narrating.

Too much angst

glad that things came to a conclusion but seriously I love some angst but 80% is too much.

Love the story but..

This is a great stories I love the Cinderella spin on it but there's one section that jumps and it jumps a good bit in the storie! I really hope this gets fixed soon!!

2 books to 1

The duet was good, this one is funnier. but it could have been easier to put them all in 1 book.
if you're looking for very descriptive sex this one is it.
I still would have preferred Jason Clarke to narrate the whole series.
the female narrator was extremely soft spoken i had to keep checking the volume to increase to the max to hear her portion.

I need more!

Great book to go with this series; although this one ends on even more of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for more of Claire and Killian!
