About this listen

Enjoy an Outlander-meets-Frozen romantic comedy from a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author.

Adventurer Lance Desmond needs to produce a fortune before his arch-rival collects the bounty on his head. He risks an ancient curse to retrieve treasure hidden within icebound Castle Cavanaugh, only to become trapped inside. Not with the gold he so desperately needs, but with medieval Princess Marigold who's been cooling her heels since...well, medieval times.

The lonely princess refuses to acknowledge the blossoming attraction between them. Not just because she deserves a better future than a penniless rogue. But because at midnight, he'll vanish like all her other would-be heroes. And the evergreen in the parlor will have one more figurine hanging from its boughs....

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️& 1.5🌶️. So, firstly the narration of this audiobook has a questionable “Irish” accent. So that’s kinda annoying. The story however I loved! It’s basically a rapunzel kind of retelling. It follows tropes like forced proximity and soulmate type bond. It’s a short story so it’s pretty insta-love so if that’s not you thing then it might not be for you but the story is good.

*Minor spoilers ahead*

Princess Marigold is trapped in an enchanted castle time loop that repeats the same day over and over. And it turns out it’s been 600 years. Everyone who enters after the legend of the magical valuable flower ends up trapped and is erased from existence. So when Lance enters… Princess Marigold tries not to get attached. But the two instantly connect, and their attempts at resist are inevitably futile and they “ahem” come together. It’s not that spicy with just two scenes and it’s fairly mild. As I said the plot was really good for a short story and I really enjoyed it! It has an adorable HEA. I only wish it was longer! Or had a direct sequel.

I'm glad I listened to this before it expired on Audible. Funny and yet deep and intense. Well fleshed out for a short story.

Fun and deep too.
