Lucius and Olivette's story was fast paced and enjoyable listen. Plenty of adventure to keep my wayward attention and a bit of heat to make me swoon. The narrator did a nice job with creating unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene. I received a free copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Omg!!!

Loved the king since the beginning of the series and I’m so happy that a story was written for him. Definitely a must get.

Another Great Addition to the Series

This is the series finale and what a way to end it. Michelle M. Pillow worked her magic with the character work and story line. Rebecca Cook, the narrator, has done a wonderful job in bringing this story to life and making it a joy to listen to as well as to read. A great job done by both Author and Narrator.

I received an ARC and a copy of the audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
