About this listen

In the cut-throat game of court life, masters manipulate pawns—and you never know which one you are. One thing is certain: there's no space on the board for love.

A penniless noblewoman, Kat is on the verge of losing everything when she's offered a well-paid job that could be her salvation… or her ruin. Drawn into court's deadly intrigues, she's given a single task: spy on the powerful fae lord known as the Night Queen's Shadow.

Bastian Marwood is handsome, ruthless, and cunning, but Kat can't decide if he's a threat to her kingdom or just her heart. To uncover the truth, she must play a dangerous game of desire and deceit, pushing him to reveal his secrets while protecting her own. But Bastian's shadows have a hold on her—one she isn't sure she wants to escape.

Kat soon learns that at court, nothing is as it seems, and even the best-laid plans can be destroyed in an instant. As a pawn on the board, she can't afford to fall victim to love—only fight for survival.

A Kiss of Iron is the first book in a new series featuring court intrigue, a morally grey hero, and an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers romance. Perfect for fans of Gild and From Blood and Ash.

Yeah another porn book hidden as an adventure. Story was good enough to get all the way through but there are long sections of "throbbing members".

The story was enjoyable
Kat was a bit annoying at times going over and over her reasoning all the time. I loved that the narrators have a British accent, it's a nice change to other audiobooks

Enjoyable

the story had some promise but the FMC was very juvenile despite being around 30.

The female narrator sounded like she had cotton balls or stones in her mouth but I could tolerate her on 2x speed.

the male narrator was awful Monotone and sounded like he was reading a telepompter for the news.

middling story terrible male narrator.
