The Consolation Prize

Brides of Karadok Series, Book 3

By: Alice Coldbreath

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

Princess Una harbors no illusions about her claims to Karadok's throne. The last of her ill-fated line, she is just grateful she emerged from the dark days of war with her head still on her shoulders. After three years under house arrest, she is keen to start her own life afresh, hopefully in relative obscurity. What she does not realize is the extraordinary scheme the king has devised to find her a suitable bridegroom.

Armand de Bussell is a rogue who shirks his duties and does as he pleases. How anyone could think him fit for a princess is a mystery to him. He neither wants nor needs a wife in his life. At least...that's what he always thought before he met the Blechmarsh princess.

Contains mature themes.

Wonderful!!!!

My New BFF Alice
I had to buy more credits this month. I love how she weaves past hero’s and heroines from past books, it help keep Oswald in my dreams.

One of my fav. Alice Coldbreath books!

I’ve given this a listen to twice. Alice Coldbreath does such an amazing job leading us to rooting for her characters development. The spicy role play scenarios are a fun read too!

Narrator ruined it for me

If you read it first, not a good idea to listen to the audio. It’ll ruin what you have in your head for the characters. Not sure if it’ll do the same thing if listened to it first then read it. That’s normal though. Somehow, I didn’t like how the narrator did the characters.

Fun and sweet

I loved both characters. Sir and Princess were a fun couple she was sweet he was lusty.

wonderful

I loved this story. I usually don't like this narrator, but she was great.

Such a great couple!

This is such a great story!! Both MC are fun and it's easy to see how they fall in love.

Even better in audio form

I truly enjoyed this book in written form,but I like it even better as an audio. The reader does a very good job of making our reluctant hero likeable. The heroine is great, too.

sweet & spice with less irrational male lol

I love her so much and this MMC is less grump/broody and more rake to golden boy so yes he gets an irrational mad once but less than the normal Coldbreath MMC. I really enjoyed it.

Great Read

I enjoy this author thoroughly. I will continue to listen to her offerings. Excellent storyline and intrigue. I highly recommend this series.

Favorite characters so far

I’ve loved this series, and the characters for this version where some of my favorite so far. I also love that they brought characters back (at least in passing mention) from the last book. I did find the action scenes a little convoluted and confusing which is why I marked the story and overall as 4 stars instead of 5z
