Summary

Scorned by her family. Banished by her kind. Hunted by zealots.

Where does an exiled Fairy Queen hide?

A remote mountain cabin, the seedy underbelly of a metropolis, or an uninhabited island. All would be good choices, however, after hundreds of years on the run, the daughter of Oberon, King of the Wild Fairies, signs a binding contract with the zealots that hunt her. In exchange, they allow her to settle down in the last place anyone would look for fairy royalty.

Adopting the name Grace Ann Bryant, the Queen buys a double-wide and moves into a trailer park in the one-horse town of Shady Grove, Alabama. Her contract requires her to lend aid to the local sheriff, Dylan Riggs, when supernatural problems arise.

But when two children go missing, the humans point to the trailer park queen helping the sheriff, and the zealots point at the exiled fairy. Grace must decide whether to fight for her innocence or break her contract returning to life on the run.

Bless Your Heart is a southern urban fantasy that will make you laugh, cry, and laugh until you cry, as Grace wrestles with the dark fairy inside herself and starts to see that she’s more than just trailer trash.

I’d willingly be a subject!

This is a warm, funny and engaging yarn with characters that I want to invite over and a pacey plot that keeps you metaphorically turning the pages.

There’s something unexpected around every corner but it’s seamlessly woven together to take you on the journey.

The slow unveiling of the fantasy universe is brilliantly done without appearing contrived. It’s definitely one of my favourite series.

Bless Your Heart

My favorite books are usually set in small towns in the south, and this book/series did not disappoint. I was not sure how a Fairy Queen was going to mesh with a trailer park setting, but it makes more and more sense as you go along. I was immediately sucked right into this book and had to keep on going through the whole series. You can to after this first book if you'd like, it doesn't end with any kind of cliff hanger or anything like that. But if you go on to book two then there is no coming out of it till you've read the last one.

The narration by Keira Stevens was very well done. her accenting was perfect, i'm not sure if she has a natural southern accent or not but usually fake southern accent get on my nerves and are way over done, but she was spot on, not over the top.

🎧Review for Audiobook Obsession 🎧

This story was so much fun! Grace is one of those people that you know you could kick your feet up on the porch rail and bs with and just the idea of a Fae Queen living in a trailer park blew my mind. Kimbra this is a big 5 stars and can’t wait for the next Fairy tale in this series.
Keira did a fabulous job narrating these characters.

Unusual story, beautifully narrated

I liked the unusualness of this story, it's an idea that I haven't come across before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did have a bit if a niggle with the writing where certain bits grated on me as I felt they appeared too many times, maybe that's just when you're listening? Even so I really loved the characters and the story kept me engaged and intrigued right till the very end. Keira Stevens' narration added beautifully to the story and brought it to life so well.

Bless Your Heart

This series starts off with a case of missing children and the problems just pile up after that. I have never read a book with this kind of twist for faeries before and have to say that I loved the way it is written. The surprises in here are fantastic and the ending leaves us at a happy for now ending. I will definitely be checking out the next book.

A Fantastic Urban Fantasy Romance!

Bless Your Heart, is an urban fantasy romance, the series takes a new and fresh approach to the Fae. The premises of the storyline is unique, very entertaining, and engaging, with lots of hilarious scenes and dialogue. The characters are refreshing and charming, particularly Grace. She has depth to her personality and not a perfect heroine; she has her issues, is aware of her flaws, and overcomes them. I liked her a lot.

The narration is fabulous. Keira Stevens captivates the listeners with her performance, further immersing you into the story. Overall, this is a well-written tale with an excellent plot and marvellous characters. This is an enjoyable story, and I highly recommend it to all UF romance enthusiasts.

What a start

Not normally a paranormal listener, I grabbed this because I really enjoy Keira Stevens, and once again, the narrator has turned me on to a new author! Kimbra Swain has created a fantastic world. Grace, the Queen of the Wild Faeries is hiding in the least conspicuous place, a trailer park in her double wide. No one would think to look for her there, but as we know, things are never as they seem. There is a cast of quirky likable characters and a story that just keeps adding to the suspense. The twists and turns kept me interested, the action is fast paced and the murder and mystery had me on the edge of my seat. Add in the supernatural powers and it just enhanced the entire plot!

Keira Stevens gives an amazing performance, so many voices, each distinct and fun. This is a great story for a narrator to sink their teeth into, and Stevens rises to the occasion! Love her portrayal of this story.
