Nudging Fate

Enchanted Occasions, Book 1

By: E.J. Russell

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

With his heart’s desire at stake, can he resist giving Fate a little nudge?

Half-norn event planner Anders Skuldsson is under strict orders from Asgard not to meddle with Fate. But with Enchanted Occasions’ latest booking - the competition for the hand of Faerie’s one true prince - crashing around his ears, it’s really, really, really difficult to toe that particular line. So...if Andy just happens to pose as a contender for the prince? It’s an emergency, damn it. Besides, it’s only temporary, so Odin can hardly blame him. Right?

If Conall of Odstone hadn’t sworn a blood oath to protect his half-brother, Prince Reyner, he’d murder the idiot himself. Rey was supposed to be here, choosing a mate before being crowned and wed. Instead, he’s disappeared, leaving Con to impersonate him. Again.

But when Con meets Andy, his anger turns to desire...and despair. Even if Andy forgives him for pretending to be someone he’s not, how could a man as appealing and accomplished as Andy - a man who’s eligible for a prince’s hand, for pity’s sake - settle for the court outcast?

As for Andy, his burgeoning feelings for the prince are both unfortunate and hopeless because hello? Half-norn? Faerie prince? Not exactly a match made in Valhalla.

When the Faerie Queen herself hands down an ultimatum, the double deception isn’t their only obstacle. Unless Andy makes the right decision, both their fates could be sealed by...well.... Fate.

Nudging Fate is a 54,000-word paranormal rom-com featuring mistaken identity, royalty in disguise, interfering coworkers, an iron knight with a soft heart, a temperamental goblin chef, and a guaranteed HEA.

Con and Andy

Loved the sweetness of Con and Andy together. These two had such kind, giving hearts. Both have lived with scrutiny and derision their entire lives and I loved that it hadn't made either one bitter. If this is book one of the series I'm definitely going to be reading the rest.

Audiobook: Awesome narrator

Cute listen!

This is such a cute listen! Con and Andy are just so cute together. I love this world that E.J. Russell had built. This is such a funny and sweet listen. I absolutely love Kirt Graves narration. He is one of my favorite narrates and I love listening to one of his narration. He just makes me love the story even more.

Absolutely brilliant!

This was such a wholesome adorable romance.

Andy and Con were so sweet together and I loved the dynamics of their relationship.

The setting of the story was interesting and the world building was descriptive, rich and engaging.

Kirt Graves performed an amazing audio delivery and narration.

Definitely recommend this Gem!

So much fun!

I loved this audiobook! The story was a lot of fun and really cute. Andy and Con were such a great couple with some really cute moments together. They fit together so well and complimented each other once they got together. It was a lot of fun to see them develop their relationship. The world building made the story even better. This author and narrator combo was perfect for this story and I can’t wait to get to find out more about this world and get to know even more of the characters.

a bit confusing

I'm not sure if the actual book has like a guide in the beginning for the creatures and the different kinds of realms that would be very helpful but since the audiobook doesn't have that I was very confused at the beginning of the book even trying to picture what some of the things look like you just can't cause there's no description. also zero spice in this book. they go to have one steamy scene and then the door closes we don't get to look 😐 other than that the story was interesting and the reader did a great job
