De: Jamie Applegate Hunter

Narrado por: Nikki Grey, Sean Masters

"I don't need a line to know what is considered good or bad. But if I did, there isn't a line I wouldn't cross for you."

Rennick

When Rennick was thirteen, the gods bestowed upon him the name of his fated mate—a human girl. As the sole heir to the Mountain Kingdom, magic bound him to his kingdom until he ascended the throne on his twenty-fifth birthday. As a human, she couldn't cross the magical barrier separating the humans from the fae. Heartsore and consumed with thoughts of her, he did the only thing he could and sent her anonymous letters and gifts…

Until he crossed the barrier into her kingdom to claim her as his own.

Amelia

Six months after Amelia's thirteenth birthday, she received a strange letter from a fae boy claiming her as his mate. Humans weren't taught much about the fae, and one look at the horrifying doll meant to be her belated birthday gift solidified her suspicions that someone was playing a cruel joke. Except the letters and odd gifts kept coming. Against her better judgment, Amelia fell in love with her mysterious admirer throughout the years, certain they would never meet. But on her twenty-fifth birthday, her walk to work was interrupted by two familiar words she'd read a million times.

"Hello, love."

Viciously Yours is a fast-paced new adult fantasy romance that focuses solely on the relationship between the two main characters. This is a romance book in a traditional fantasy setting with minimal world-building. It is book one in the Fae Kings of Eden series of interconnected standalones, that is best enjoyed in order.

The male main character is obsessed with his mate and does a few morally black things to those he deems a threat to his relationship. There are no shades of grey. The couple has minor obstacles, but there is no miscommunication, third-act breakup, or cheating. For mature listeners.

Narrated in duet style.

Love love love

I can’t wait for the other kings stories. This one was so freakin good!! I love an obsessed man even if he had no common sense when it came to women lol I love his friend too.. poor guy stuck in the middle just tryin to live his life haha Rennick is the epitome of “eyes only for his mate” and I loved it. The story is so satisfying and the things he does and says causes the best stomach butterflies and feet kicking giggles. Maybe I’ve read too many dark romances but he wasn’t that morally grey to me lol he did kill someone unnecessarily and for no good reason but eh whatever. I liked the fmc she was sweet and kinda crazy but so am I so like *relatable*. I wanted the story to go on forever but the fast paced satisfaction and their obsession with eachother really hits the spot. I’d give it a 2 for🌶️- not that many scenes but enough to make you swoon a bit.

SUCH A GOOD BOOK

Truly enjoyed this book, and while there’s some steam, it had so much potential to be more. I love the romance in here, a book on just romance. I will be repeating this book when I need a good love story

Loved it!

Listened to in one day. Loved it. The story was addictive. Loved the characters. Looking forward to the next book.

the relationship between the two main characters.

loved!

spicy romantic book. was a warm cozy read! obsessed. I finished it in one day. I couldn't stop listening.

that the magic ain't to over the top

love the possessiveness it was an amazing story had beautiful plot and twist. can't say that there was anything I disliked

Cute concept

The story almost exclusively revolves around two people falling in love & marrying. There is some amount of world building and magic, but apart from mating bonds, familiars, and some invisibility skills, the world largely is an irrelevant backdrop. This was pretty much what I was looking for, so I enjoyed the story. :)

The rest of my review mostly involves nitpicks, not massive complaints.

I wish the ending had been structured differently. The story felt like it was dragging a bit just so the author could insert some additional sex positions.

I liked the FMC less and less as the story dragged on:

1) There is a scene where the FMC reacts to a toxic person by stooping to their level of nasty vindictiveness. The author tries to play that off as a power play victory. But really it just made my skin crawl with ickyness. The king should have simply commanded the toxic person to leave the dinner and left it at that. That would have garnered a lot more respect than toxic, childish power play games.

2) There were some heavy-handed "twists" that were partially predictable and sometimes very "preachy". The FMC's reactions to those secrets felt a bit over-the-top and annoying. She looked a bit stupid and slow at times. She was quick to blame (and assault) the men in the room, and rarely expressed gratitude. I wish some of those twists had been revealed in a sequel instead, since their fallout wasn't fully explored in this story.

3) Why in the world would the FMC insist on getting married in clothing that both she and her mate hate??!? Days earlier, she wore that clothing reluctantly so she wouldn't hurt his feelings. But on their wedding day, she is wearing that clothing DESPITE hurting his feelings. It makes no sense that she would hurt him like that. She would have worn something beautiful to make the memories of that day as dreamy as possible for both of them. She would have wanted to look beautiful for both him and for herself. And she would have likely gone shopping for a new necklace with him instead of hanging on to the trout necklace. Her spitefulness and thoughtlessness is annoying.

I wish the epilogue didn't exist at all. It removed a lot of the remaining mystery by adding cuteness I didn't need. It casually dropped a world-changing bomb without exploring it at all. What a waste.
