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.

Loved it

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.

omg Aiden Snows voice...

As well as Avery the narration of this awesome story was fantastic...so well matched with the characters. I haven't listened/read a fantasy novel in awhile and this one just blows it away....great storyline. well written and onto your next.
