About the Book:
"All you must do is sign on the dotted line, and all your romantic dreams will come true," the Fairy Godmother says with a twinkle in her eye.This is what happens when you do not read the fine print in a very detailed contract. You miss all the things that are immediate deal breakers.Viola, a proud resident of New Orleans, lives on the top floor of an old Victorian mansion on a very normal street. But normal is no longer a word she can use to describe her life since signing the official contract of Fairy Godmother Inc. They forgot to tell her that she would be competing against other women in a very dangerous game. A game where she would be thrust into an alien world for the mere hope of catching the dashing Prince's heart.And let me say this: this prince is one hot alpha male with a serious attitude problem. We do not get along, save for the fact that he can turn my insides to mush with one look. But the silver lining here is that you can have a happily-ever-after if you survive. You can't fall in love if you're dead. It tends to spoil the romance.
Rating:
This audiobook was an absolute ride, made even better by the dual narration. Having a male voice for Apollo was a fantastic touch, adding depth to his broody, god-like presence. The story follows Viola, whose life on Earth is far from glamorous—until Fairy Godmother Inc. offers her an escape and a mission: assume a new identity, travel to another world, and win the heart of a prince to maintain the balance of good and evil in the universe.
Viola’s journey is anything but predictable. Sent as a slave with a mysterious past, she quickly finds herself entangled with Apollo—a dark, brooding, and irresistible force. Their cat-and-mouse dynamic was thrilling, the sexual tension was palpable, and when things heated up, they really heated up. The steamy scenes were top-tier, making this a swoon-worthy read.
That said, the pacing was a bit uneven. Around the halfway mark, it felt like the story was reaching its climax—only to push forward into an entirely new arc. Viola’s kidnapping and auction into the sex trade introduced a new layer of darkness, including a brooding pirate that added to the tension. While the twists were somewhat predictable, it was still frustrating waiting for Viola to catch up. That being said, she was a strong and determined protagonist, even if her stubbornness occasionally slowed her down.
A special shoutout to Mort, the comedic relief, who was an absolute delight throughout. Overall, this book was fast-paced, fun, and deliciously steamy, making it a great pick for fans of sci-fi romance with high stakes and sizzling chemistry.
