About this listen
Laurent and Sabre's story continues....
All Laurent de Rue wants to do is live a peaceful life with his husband, Sabre, and support his little sister Rose’s rise to stardom on the Starian stage. But learning the truth of his heritage and rediscovering his magic brings a whole new set of problems...most notably the Archmage of Mislia, who is determined to find the apostates who fled his wrath all those years ago. He’s willing to use any means necessary to track down Laurent, and that includes cursing his own son and heir, Hektor Drakos, who fled Mislia with Prince Adrien and is now all alone in a city that bears no love for his kind.
But Laurent soon discovers the dark-eyed mage and his clever fox demon is no threat...but, rather, a young man in need of healing and a place to hide from his terrifying, power-hungry father and his father’s demon - a faceless creature who can travel vast distances through mirrors. Despite the danger, Laurent’s never been one to turn away someone in need of protection. As he and Sabre make a place for Hektor in their unconventional family, they’re besieged by old enemies and new threats alike, and Laurent will have to harness the true strength of his magical gift to protect the people he loves.

Overall: 4 stars
From all 5 books this is the one I just liked and couldn't get lost in. As much as I loved Hektor and his fox demon Flick, especially when Flick called Hektor "his boy", that's a really sweet relationship right there, and all the salacious, kinky scenes between Sabre and Laurent, the budding romance between Hektor and Rose deterred my enjoyment a bit. Not because it wasn't sweet, it's totally my problem because I don't read (and like MF) anymore.
When it comes to the narration there were some editing issues here and there but Kris did a good job even with the missing intensity and atmosphere.
So much love for Flick!
