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.

Fantastic story

Really enjoyed the storyline and the storytelling. Totally worth the read and getting in hard copy.
Has that historical romance feeling that’s always interesting combined with fantasy.

Captured my attention from the beginning

I read several reviews that this book was very similar to ‘From Ash and Blood’ series, which made me hesitant. I really didn’t enjoy from Blood and Ash but decided to try A Kiss of Iron. Honestly the book was unique and had very little that was similar to From Blood and Ash. Sophisticated plots and the right amount of romance. The pace of the book is on the slower side but moves along fast enough to continue to capture my attention. It had some of my favourite tropes including forced proximity (including one bed), enemy to lovers, forbidden love, Fae shadow MMC, to name a few. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
There are strong references to child abuse and subsequent PTSD, so that may be a trigger for some readers.
Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

Unfiltered view into mental illness. Ending with a twist.

Likes: Dirty daddy talk.
Dislikes: lots of teasing with abrupt interruptions. If you like edging this is for you.

narrator was amazing. the dude at the end was not.

story was well paced, interesting world, and entertaining, but also predictable. I still think it's worth a read.
