Publisher's summary

Destiny or desire: where does your allegiance lie?

I am told my union to the crowned prince will determine the fate of the kingdom, but it isn’t my betrothed who haunts my dreams. It’s the half-breed prince who stands at his side.

He is darkness and sin, and when he whispers promises of wickedness in my ear, I crave a man who I can’t have. Every thought I have is treasonous. The way my hands ache to touch him deceitful. Even my dreams make me a traitor to the kingdom I am sworn to protect.

But when the kingdom is attacked, I am forced to make choices I’m not prepared for. Our lies and deception are entangled in the shadows and stars, and as they unravel so shall my fate. Betray a kingdom or betray my heart.

A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows is book one in the Stars and Shadows series, and it ends in a cliffhanger.

LOVED IT!

I had already read the book, but I was excited to see it on audio. Especially with my top favorite narrators J.F, Harding, and Stella Hunter; they were phenomenal.

I really enjoyed the book even though it was similar to some that I’ve read, even so I think she did a great job with the story and I look forward to hearing the rest of the series.

Lacking plot

I think this has the potential to be an amazing story if it focused more on the actual plot and less on the sex.
I love some spice but gosh if you could actually tell the story instead of having 3 lines of dialogue and then spice, 5 lines and then spice, etc.

Exactly what I wanted

I got exactly what I wanted out of this book and that was a fast, paced and steamy fantasy romance. If you’re newer to fantasy romance, this may not be the place to start because I feel like it doesn’t do a lot of it’s own world building and instead I just inferred a lot based on what I’ve learned in other fantasy books. However, I wanted something quick to read and this hit the spot for me and I can’t wait to continue the series. Narration was top tier also.
