On the worst birthday of my life, I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, I’m drunk, homeless, and pledging to stay single forever. And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town, looking for fae like me.

Every generation, the king holds a competition for Seelie queen. But for reasons he won’t explain, Torin is looking for a charade, not a real marriage. So when I drunkenly sling insults his way, I have his attention.

When Torin offers me fifty million to participate, I think, “What have I got to lose?” The answer turns out to be “my life,” because my competition will literally kill for the crown.

And the more time I spend with the seductive king, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all supposed to be fake. Now, my life—and my heart—are on the line.

Good story line….

Parts of this recorded version were a little rough to get through…. A little cringy especially the spicy scenes BUT if you can wrinkle your nose through it, I did really enjoy the story. I’m debating switching to book for to finish the series though.

very disappointing

the plot isn't that good and wasnt developed thoroughly, very cliche and predictable (I literally knew what words the characters were going to say next...), the writing isn't that good.
the production of the dramatized version is... so-so, some of it is cringy (breathing, sniffing, moaning but not it the way that is appealing to say the least... and I listened to some amazing dramatized productions).

Good story

Good story line; kind of predictable. But who picked the elevator background music during romantic scenes? It ruined the vibe. Also the growling… was weird. It sounded off.

Not well done w/ the performance

Whose idea was it to add all the grunting and growling? It was cringey and uncomfortable. The FMC wasn’t my favorite—she lacked strength as a character, and the narration only amplified that weakness. The storyline itself was the only thing that kept me reading, but even then, the execution felt disjointed.

I loved Avalon Tower, so it’s clear the author has grown significantly since this book was released. I wouldn’t recommend this one in its current state, but I do hope she revisits and rewrites it one day.

Story was dual and cringingly bad

Overall, it was entertaining enough, but the story is not great and nothing is unpredictable.
