A Thorn in Every Heart

Enchanted Legacies, Book 1

By: Kate King

Narrated by: Benjamin Sands, Neva Nevarre

What if Belle never returned to the enchanted castle?

After her cheating husband ruins her life, twenty-nine-year-old musician, Alixandria Knight, moves from Chicago to Ironhill, Pennsylvania—a near-abandoned Appalachian ghost town with a fiery history. Officially, she's there to help her aging grandmother. Unofficially, Alix just wants to escape reality.

She'll get her wish.

When a one night stand with a wickedly handsome stranger turns out to be more than she bargained for, Alix is whisked away to the land of the fae. There, she uncovers her family's darkest secret: sixty years ago, Alix's grandmother, Isabelle, broke her promise to marry a beastly king. Now, the fae are hungry, and it's up to Alix to clear her family's debt.

Beauty and the Beast meets Anastasia in this spicy and addictive modern fairy-tale mashup from the USA Today bestselling author of Wilde Fae.

Contains mature themes.

Spicy Beauty & The Beast? Yes please!

If you're a fan of magical retellings with humor, heart, and just the right amount of spice, A Thorn in Every Heart is an absolute treat. As a Beauty and the Beast lover, I couldn’t resist this imaginative twist on the classic tale—and it more than delivered.

Benjamin Sands and Neva Nevarre were PERFECTION in this audiobook!

Great narration and storyline

Both the MFC and MMC voices were spot on, helping you connect with all of the characters. Storyline brings you in. Quite a bit of spice, but in a good way. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

This book exceeded my every expectation! It was truly an experience! I listened to the audio while following along on my kindle. Benjamin Sands had the most enthralling accent that will make your toes curl and Neva Nevarre nailed Alix’s sass!!

The book was also amazing! This is the first book I’ve found that contains unique chapter art depicting events in each chapter and I loved discovering each one!!!

Alix and Daemon’s sexually charged witty banter was electric! I could not get enough of the enemies to lovers and forbidden love tropes 😍 all they wanted to do was rip each other’s clothes off and I was there for it!!

While this book was a mix of a Beauty and the Beast and Anastasia retelling it completely stood apart as its own story. The world and people King introduces is fascinating and she did a great job setting the stage for future books in the series.

The chemistry was intense, the banter endless, and the intimate moments were toe curling. You need to add this book to your TBR asap because you will NOT want to miss out on A Thorn in Every Heart!
