About this listen

Book one in the new Fae Out of Water series.

Temp worker David Evans has been dreaming of Dr. Alun Kendrick ever since that one transcription job for him, because holy cats, that voice. Swoon. So when his agency offers him a position as Dr. Kendrick’s temporary office manager, David neglects to mention that he’s been permanently banished from offices. Because, forgiveness? Way easier than permission.

Alun Kendrick, former Queen’s Champion of Faerie’s Seelie Court, takes his job as a psychologist for Portland’s supernatural population extremely seriously. Secrecy is paramount: No non-supe can know of their existence. So when a gods-bedamned human shows up to replace his office manager, he intends to send the man packing. It shouldn’t be difficult - in the 200 years since he was cursed, no human has ever failed to run screaming from his hideous face.

But cheeky David isn’t intimidated, and despite himself, Alun is drawn to David in a way that can only spell disaster: When fae consort with humans, it never ends well. And if the human has secrets of his own? The disaster might be greater than either of them could ever imagine.

Cant go wrong one clicking on Joel Lesile narrations.

This is a wonderful listen with all the expected story developments, nothing new here but still a great relaxing story with all the feels.

Totally cute and fun m/m fairytale! David Evans has been dismissed from every temp job he’s been sent on, but somehow he has an unshakeable belief in his own rightness. That’s a total nightmare for Dr Alun Kendrick, psychologist to the supernatural community, who has a lot of vulnerable clients. Alun also feels fairly vulnerable, he’s a faerie warrior whose unparalleled good looks have been deformed by a curse, and he doesn’t feel very charitable to the ignorantly interfering human. I picked this up because I’ve already listened to and adored EJ Russell’s followup series about the Supernatural Selection Agency so I knew I’d thoroughly enjoyed this enemies-lovers romance too. EJ Russell writes fun and sympathetic characters so well and her world-building is brilliant. If you want your romance light and humorous with a romp through the dangerous land of Faerie, this is it. Veteran audio narrator Joel Leslie bounces off the snark and sass while channeling Welsh, Irish, and American accents with ease.

Totally cute and fun m/m fairytale!
