It's only supposed to be one night. Until it isn't.

When the Queen's guardsman enters my inn, the last thing I expect is to be propositioned. But this far north, it can get lonely at times, and my bed fits two easily enough. The guardsman is lithe and fae, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested. Besides, what's one night between grown men?

I don't expect to see him again. But rumors of war bring him back to me, and what starts as a one-off soon blossoms into so much more ...

This was an interesting listen. Not bad, but interesting. Let me explain...

STORY: 4 STARS

I actually fluctuated between 3.5 and 4 stars on this. First, it took me a little while to get into it, but when I did, I was invested. It was a good story, but I also feel like there was something lacking. I wanted to know more. We only get the one perspective. And there are some things that I felt could be expanded upon. For example the knight, the black cloud, etc. I really wish we would have gotten the knight's perspective. I think it would have added a lot to the story and the development. That said, it was still good and still entertained me. I just wish there was more to it. 

NARRATION: 4 STARS

In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I liked this narrator or not, but the more I listened, the more I found I really enjoyed his take on this book. He added to it and enhanced it. 

OVERALL: 4 STARS

The book is good, but I think we could have gotten more. The narration was done well and contributed to the story. 4 stars overall and I suggest all of you consider getting this one today.
