The Wolf and the Wildflower

Fated Fae, Book 2

By: Ella Fields

Narrated by: Krys Janae, Scott Rose

A heartbroken faerie queen in search of an evening of escape awakens the heart of a grumpy wolf warrior who will bring kingdoms to their knees to claim her.

When I was young, I was told that my true love would be a faerie king. I didn’t heed the warning.

I tumbled into love as soon as our eyes first met, unaware that he wasn’t what he seemed.

My king wanted marriage, power, devotion, and a family. He had all but one, and as our kingdom stood upon the precipice of ruin, the weight of failure tore us apart.

Though it was not the war but his betrayal that sent me running to a foreign land.

And straight into the arms of a one-eyed warrior.

The wolf was a weapon of heartless destruction, a rogue without a real name, and nothing I was allowed to want.

A week spent within his city and the walls of his threadbare home was all it took to irrevocably change everything.

And nothing at all.

For there was no escaping the life I’d once thought I’d cherish forever. My kingdom was dying and my king would soon start searching for his missing queen.

Attempting to keep all I’d found in the heartache he’d caused would only create more.

So I fled from the wolf who hadn’t learned my true identity, and I returned to my kingdom with a silent vow to heal my torn heart. I would try to forgive my faithless husband and accept my bloodstained future.

But those meddlesome fates had other plans.

The warrior I’d left without warning was born a hunter and conditioned to be a monster. An alpha in his own right, he would accept nothing less than what he hungered for.

Even if the battle of his life delivered our hearts to their doom and our kingdoms to their knees.

The storyline

I loved how you were able to capture me with the characters and how you unveiled the story slowly leaving me wanting more! Greatly enjoyed every minute of it.

Love!

I love the books Ella Fields writes but this is definitely my favorite of hers! Read it a couple of times before this audio released and I enjoyed it very much! The narrators did a wonderful job, loved their performance - 10 stars

Good but not my favorite

Summary: romantic betrayal, left me depressed, heat not as good as book one, narration not the best, well written, decent world build.


I got this book mostly because I liked the first one. While it was somewhat interesting to find out more about this world and what happened, I can’t say it was exactly enjoyable. Definitely not the high heat true love HEA the first book was. Sex scenes are still well written. The plot however technically a HEA left me feeling down and icky for lack of a better explanation. The story heavily deals with betrayal(romantic)and being pulled in two directions. The worst part was it was to well written lol. No black and white; “he’s a total shit bag leave him and good for you!” Nope, unfortunately I felt for the bastard all the way to the end! I hated him but felt bad and angry and a strange desire to go yell at men…. So ya, to much drama and icky feelings from a romantasy for me. I seriously need a palate cleanser after that emotional swamp. It’s a decent story if you don’t mind some residual angst and heartache. I wouldn’t want to spend a credit on it(luckily I got it on sale) but I have a feeling that if there is a book 3 I will be glad to have the background from this one. This story was much closer to her A King so Cold series than Cloud and Bone or Nectar of the Wicked or Kingdom of Villains. The audio could have been better. While it did have male and female narration there aren’t that many male POV parts. The sections that are MMC POV don’t do a great job of narrating fmc voice.

The wolf and the wildflower

What can I say. The love , betrayal, angst, the longing. The romance of these two people was wonderful. The spice was just enough. I loved this audio book. The narrators made it even better.

Beautiful love story

This book tore my heart up! This story moved away from the virgin trope and the sometimes unrealistic and naive love that comes with that storyline. The characters are mature and complex beings who care about others as well as themselves. This one was so real, my heart literally ached at times. If you want to feel all the feels, get this one, but be ready to laugh, cry but also enjoy the delicious spice in between.
