About this listen
Jerrek Valsys was quite literally cursed. In life and in love. With no wife to see him through those long lonely nights and no way to help tame the beast that currently resides inside him, he'd spent years waiting on his mate with a glowing rock to show up. Seriously. He had. Because the prophecy told him so. But when his beast comes out and finds its mate, he may have to forget about that whole prophecy thing. Even if it means he has to give up his crown as the Fae King.
Kaia Cutestone's life sucks. She has a job with no future and lives with her dead-beat, soul-sucking brother. The only good things in her life are her friends Jen and Avery. It's too bad the three of them have just been kidnapped with fairy dust. All Kaia has going for her at this point is that she just ran into the most gorgeous man she's ever seen.
Thanks to her love of shifter romance novels, Kaia might be the only person on the planet who can help Jerrek tame his beast and keep him from killing more people. Kaia may not have a glowing rock but she sure is rocking an old ugly necklace. But is that enough to get her a happily ever after and help find her friends?
Contains mature themes.

Great story... playful, dark and steamy.
Great story ... amazing book in the series or as a standalone. Narrator, Chandra Skyye brought some playful, dark and steamy energy. Passionate from start to finish can't wait for the next book.

Disappointing and confusing
I sped this book up to 1.4x in order to get through it. I also skipped some chapters even though this book is short.
I don’t think the story was well planned or thought out, it almost felt like the author started writing without an outline and Then they did some editing et voilà, a book. For example, how is it that three generations of kings have what they consider a curse, because they have a beast side that no one in their dimension has ever heard of and along comes a kidnapped human that relays the knowledge of shifters that they have gained from made up books in the human realm. It would make more sense if they knew about people who shift, but consider it a curse because they haven’t figured out they can coexist with their animal side.
Second, the entire story around the rocks, it’s so unnecessarily confusing and mysterious ...so your grandmother, who never seems to get any older, sends you a rock via your mom, you have the rock for all of a day, thinking it’s just a rock, nothing special, and at first when you get to this new world you don’t even think about it. You are dressed in the most revealing and scandalous dress, and there is no notice, mention, or thought of said rock, then right when you meet the king, who can identify his true mate by a glowing rock, Someone notices your rock and tells you to keep it hidden and your first instinct is to give it to a child, who was just rescued from slavery and no one notices it on her? AND when asked if you own a rock by the man you want you lie?
The sequence of events just made no sense, it was almost like the author tried to come up with a concept of how to get them to the fae realm and couldn’t think of anything better so they thought ‘oh let’s have three best friends get together and go camping for the first time ever to a remote part of woods they hike for hours to get to and all three of them have random rocks from their grandmothers who don’t get any older, (and their grandmothers never tell them anything about the rocks) but as soon as the rocks are placed together a portal opens, but not close by, far away and they get kidnapped’.
I also don’t think the author paid attention to building the character profile very well because the female lead is super childish, “innocent” and beaten down, feeling sick even saying no to giving money to her father on one end but in a flash, she’s strong, and standing up to more powerful beings and apparently hums Disney soundtracks,...then a blink of an eye brings her right back to being child like, innocent and Fantasizing about sex?.. show me a 22 year old, with the mental capacity of a 22 year old, that is thinking of Disney songs and constantly hums them? Yup, the only ones that exist are in books like these....or work as a princess at Disney World.
I also couldn’t figure out why the female lead’s voice needed to be so high-pitched, almost like a child, so for that, I didn’t enjoy the narration at all.

how did this get published?
subparnarating. and that's being generous.
the story has potential but it wasn't explored and all the characters are totally flat and two-dimensional. Parts of the story make no sense like chapters were omitted.
oh yes I'm a virgin human who is the worst of the worst with no self-esteem and here is this person who is going to change my whole life only I'm not worthy. but I don't think he likes me but I don't think I like him. oh now we're in love and having seggsytimes. except that I'm a virgin. I don't know anything about that. but all of a sudden I do. but then no I need to advance the plot so I'm going to be completely stupid and run right back to the very place I was rescued from.
definitely one of the books that I read because it was free with my membership. even though I looked at other people's reviews that basically said they dnf'd it at almost a 60% rate!
The worst of it is the way that the author is obviously trying to write this as a spicy book - but not pulling it off. and said it is just creepy, cringy and downright inaccurate.
I sincerely hope that any person who hasn't yet been intimate with another person, doesn't read this and ever pass a thought that this is what it's like the first time.
