About this listen

I thought a weekend away would be the perfect escape. Until I woke up married and trapped...by the king of the Dark Fae.

“Neon Gods meets Fifty Shades… Deliciously dark and sexy!”—#1 NYT bestselling author Helen Hardt

For Bryn Meara, a free trip to the exclusive and ultra-luxe Nightfall hotel and casino in Vegas should’ve been the perfect way to escape the debris of her crumbling career. But waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think. It seems her dark and sexy new husband is actual royalty—the fae king of the Night Court—and there’s an entire world beneath the veil of Vegas.

Whether light or shadow, the fae are a far cry from fairy tales, and now they’ve made Bryn a pawn in their dark games for power. And Caiden is the most dangerous of all—an intoxicating cocktail of sin and raw, insatiable hunger. She should run. But every night of passion pulls Bryn deeper into his strange and sinister world, until she’s no longer certain she wants to leave…even if she could.

This was so good, kept me edging from the get go - so much drama, action and never endinh chaos between Kaiden and Bryn.

The audio narrators gave an excellent performance, I mean that's what kept me captivated and enthralled in the journey.

Aiden Snow's voice - so inlove with it - dark, mysterious and so authorative...

So Good - I wanted More...

Similar to other Fae novels, but still really good.
It seems every non-human book I read lately has a hero into BDSM. Which I dont hate, but gets boring after a while.
The spice, spiced.

Great plot.

I only read this because Aiden Snow was nominated for narrating this book. And wow he’s amazing. This book came so close to being perfect! Great plot and pace. The banter was great too. I absolutely loved Bryn. Her sass had me giggling and rooting for her. And her chemistry with Caiden was amazing. Without spoiling I guess the only thing I had an issue with was miscommunication and withholding information and also the blood vial scene. But appart I loved it. But not sure I’ll continue this series as I saw a different narrator will be reading the next book.
