Brilliant

Takes a little while to get going but once Faith is in the other world, it takes off like a rocket. The ncredibly inventive.

swoon

loved this romantic epic ,very normal girl from Chicago somehow finds herself on another plane and plunged into a situation where she has to be a mortal anchor for a battle god thrown out of heaven.
its a gorgeous tapestry of a story with a host of characters, kings Queens beggars and other gods.
the romance is slow burn that is hot when it eventually ignites. out of all of Ruby's books I have read this is the best.

Enjoyable listen

This was a good book and I enjoyed it. It was on course to get five stars, but the pace and story waned a bit later on in the book and I felt less engaged. I’ll still get more by this author and in this series, though.

God and mortal romance

I don't really know how to review this. I kept listening since I wanted to know what was going to happen, so the story is great, but I'm not really sure I liked either of the characters, even by the end. The performance was completely ok, but nothing stood out as amazing.

Plot: Interesting plot with lots of unexpected twists and turns. This was definitely a plot-driven fantasy romance. You get a Happily Ever After and introduction to other characters that'll probably be the main characters in other books in the series.

Characters: I just keep wondering 'why' and despite this being over 20 hours, I don't think either character had much of a back story. Why are they the way they are? Why do they have their flaws and strong points. It's a mystery. Our main male character's god-given flaw is arrogance, so you end up with a VERY arrogant main character that likes war and violence. Never figured out what she saw in him, Stockholm syndrome since she was attached to him and couldn't leave?

It was a good audiobook, pretty decently performed. Worth a listen if you have extra hours to use up, but not my favorite I've ever listened to, but I finished it because the story was good.

A slow burn romance.

I really liked this book. It is one of my new favourite ones from Ruby Dixon. It reminded me off Kristen Ashley fantasy land series which I absolutely loved.
Aron is arrogant and aggravating, but in a way that is funny because he doesn't know any better. He is a God and acts very much like one at times with his attitude. However, as the book goes on he becomes somewhat affectionate and possessive towards his Anchor, Faith. The way he was portrayed was spot one. His visible character growth was one of the things that made the book enjoyable.
Faith was Aron's perfect match. She was smart, sassy and very courageous. She held her own throughout the entire book, giving just as much as she received. She was funny and sarcastic and made me laugh a lot.
I really hope that Ruby Dixon does another one of these books as I enjoyed this one a lot. I would very much like to know how the other gods and their anchors were with each other. Hopefully, quite like Aron and Faith to begin with. Looking forward to the next book if there is one.

Interesting story

An interesting story. I liked the world Ruby Dixon created. Faith was strong, adaptable and snarky. She had a lot of gumption and courage to survive the strange new world she suddenly found herself stuck in. Aron was true to his name and I loved the growth his character went under throughout the book. He stayed mostly true to his nature and didn't change completely which seemed more realistic than a 180 degree turn would have felt.
Narration was good and overall I liked the book and may listen to the rest in the series.

Great bit of indulgence to relax with

As with her other work, this is an entertaining and satisfyingly sweet romance that is just the right amount of steamy. Great to relax. Performance was great. Story was much more slow paced than some of her other books, which was a nice change as the romance wasnt insta-love and the characters grew into their relationship quite well.

Story was a little meh, cant say im overly excited for the other books, but it was a very satisfying story overall so I still rate it highly for being a great fantasy romance story that doesn't require an encyclopaedia to keep track of plot points or characters.

This set the bar for all other audiobooks

I adore this author and this is a brilliant read...and audiobook

This review is on the narration not the book
.. ok book and story 5*
Narration 5* and I wish I could award higher marks

For me the choice of narrator was a perfect and brilliant choice
Normally the narrator tells the story, but Kendall Taylor becomes the characters and it is their story that is shared. This blend elevates the book rather than simply shares and this sets the standard for all other audiobooks

I normally follow an author, but I will check other work by the same narrator as well as other audiobooks by this author

Wow!

I haven’t loved an audiobook this much in a while. This long story is substantial enough to sink your teeth into but gives you enough time to dwell in this wonderful world.

The narrator is incredible — she doesn’t just read well, she actually acts. I feel like it’s rare to get more than a little inflection here and there. And she makes the many funny lines actually land like good jokes.

It’s my first book by this author and I so loved the originality and characters that I’m already reading another book by her in parallel.

Great chemistry between MCs, who I loved. Slow burn but not in a bad way. Plenty of steaminess eventually!
