As punishment for her crime, he demands her hand in marriage.

Aware he’s using her as leverage, Tanith plots to secure her freedom once and for all. Even though she’s inexplicably attracted to her dangerous, devilish husband.

Just as they grow close, Tanith uncovers the truth about the piper’s past and an unsettling agenda that will shatter their future.

Worst narrator, good story

What moron hired someone with this peach pattern as a narrator? The narrator lifted and trailed her voice after every sentence as if it was a question. It drove me bananas. I had to speed it up as fast as I could hear just to get it over with. I recommend you just get the printed book and have Siri or Alexa read it instead.

As for the story, it was different and I liked it. The story of the Pied Piper was scary and excited. Nothing in the book leads me to think Taimlin the female character is black. She sounds like an annoying white lady to me.

Poem Preformer?

So I'm still not done with the audio book but I already don't like the reader. As she reads the book as if she reading and preforming a poem. Very fast reading that is a bit hard to catch up on what she reading.

Enjoyed the story

I really enjoyed the story it was a piped piper inspired romance. The characters were enjoyable and the story was easy to follow. The story was fast paced and didn't have many areas where it slowed for me. I loved Tanith and Oren together.

the performance was a little less than desirable from the moment it started I knew it would be an issue. The change in voice for the characters wasn't that great but it didn't pull from enjoying the book.

dullest college professor meets Rhod Sermon

The performer was the opposite of passionate. If the TV series Twighlight Zone narrator Rhod Sermon and the most boring college rofessors I ever suffered through. She has a nice voice if she'd just thaw out a little.

Great story! Love the piper.

I loved this book. I rated it 4 stars. Unfortunately the narrator kind of drove me nuts. But that’s just the name of the game sometimes. The story is the important part, and it constantly surprised me with the depth of the characters, especially the piper himself. I love a good enemies to lovers tale 😊 thank you Angela for your beautiful book!

Worst performance ever. The story held promise...

First, the narrator. She had all the emotional range of a potato list in the back of a pantry. It was flat and the cadence was exactly what you’d get from a weather forecaster. No. Scratch that. The weather report has more emotion.
Every sentence was read exactly the same way. Every character voice was read the same way. (Except the random throw away character from mid book) everyone sounded whiny when there was a rare attempt to give emotion.
I felt like I was listening to a very odd news report.

The story… well, it held a lot of promise but fell flat when it could have been taken to the next level.
There’s a lot of repetition in wording and in the plot, which consists mostly of the two main characters riding to her uncle’s castle for a vague and rather pointless reason, every single time.
While the female lead's background made sense, his did not. He was a human child orphan and a full-grown angel whose wings were taken for *reasons*, he had vampire vangs and fae/elven pointed ears and about half a dozen different backstories.
The female lead has “strong female character” dialogue but none of her actions back that up. Everything she tries to do, she fails and it helps no one. Not even the antagonists. So it’s pointless.
The leads fall in love when their only interactions are mainly the rides to and from her uncle’s castle.
There is no character development. They are exactly the same people they were at the beginning of the book, only in love with each other.
The end was filled with random new rules to magic, reasons for why things were that didn't make sense, about fifty different types of lore that did not mix well at all.
The plot could have had so much more depth, giving the leads some depth, but it all feels incredibly rushed.

The Narrator…

It was hard to get past the narrator’s vocal patterns. I finished the book since I paid for it. The story wasn’t particularly deep or layered. The characters fall in love pretty quick. It felt kind of rushed. The narrator drops the ends all of her sentences with a breathy “huh” or “uh” sound. Very sing-songy. So parts that should have been delivered in a firm implacable tone, still sort of sounded thoughtful or unsure. I don’t know that I’ll try any more of the authors books. Interesting use of general biblical creation elements as part of the story’s mythology.
