The Other Princess

What an emotional ride. I will warn you there is a very high chance of some ugly crying when listening to this book. So much tragedy and betrayal happens that your heart will just break. We do find out happy ending but it is a long ride to get there.
The narration was amazing. This is the first time I’ve heard these two together and I have to say it is a match in heaven. Give stars are the way around.

Magnificent Story & Listen🎧 Heartfelt & Emotional!

Wow, this story just blew me away! Christine Michelle is a new to me author and I will definitely be checking out some of her other work. “The Other Princess” is a beautiful story, one that tugs at your heart. It well written, well told story and completely captivating, once I started the book I did not want to put it down. It is not your typical MC story, it is so much more. The characters are well developed, Ever, the lead character is the star of the story, well it is her story and how her family and the MC club treated her. She did not have an easy life, her Mom died when she was 8 and she was delivered to her father, one she did not even know existed. She was not welcomed by all with open arms, but that first day her new brother, Toby told her everything will be ok, that he and his friend Jay would protect her. Unfortunately it did not turn out that way when they betrayed her. The author did a great job capturing how cruel teenage bullying could go. My heart went out to Ever, I was so glad Lucy, her stepmom was there for her when all the drama played out. I adored Ever’s strength and how she set out to make her own life. I appreciated when Declan came into the picture, loved how supportive he was, how patient he was with her and his idea to help her heal. He is a true hero. But can a broken person be healed, can those who broke her be forgive. I highly recommend this story, it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride, there is drama, angst, heartache, romance, friendship and learning to let go, learning to forgive, learning to really live. Christine Michelle, thank you for this great story, I am looking forward to the next in the series.

I listened to the Audible edition, narrated but he talented Sarah Puckett and D.C. Cole. They are awesome voice performers. They bring the characters to life, give each their own voice and personality. Their performances reflects the emotions of the characters, Sarah’s Ever was just heart wrenching at times, she allowed you to feel her pain and raw emotion. I loved D.C. Cole’s Declan too. Both are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧.

Thank you 🎧AudiobookObsession

Wow, Wow , Wow

This was a very emotional read. Everly had so much strength it was inspiring. I couldn't stop listening wanting to know what would happen next. This was an amazing experience and I loved this story. Can't wait to read book two.

Interesting take on an MC

We start with Ever being mentally and even physically tortured in high school as her male best friend wrongly tore her down in front of the whole school. Add insult to injury, her brother and father took the side of the best friend since he was the prospect to the MC. Thank goodness for Mama Luce, who was amazing. 5 years later, Ever still didn’t forgive anyone who didn’t stand with her, rightfully because she was mentally destroyed due to the torturing- with kids these days committing suicide because of bullying, I can't even say that this is too crazy of a reaction. The story progresses and the reader watches and wonders, can Ever get over her past and can Declan, the brother of her ex-best friend help her heal? This book is an interesting take on bullying and blind acceptance of people within an MC. I admired her strength and Declan was wonderful with her. It’s a tough book to read for a mother who realizes how awful teens can be to other people. I wish these kids realized (and cared) about the pain they put others through.

Sarah Puckett was great- good emotion, good pacing. The DC Cole's voice was a little soft, a bit smooth, for how I pictured Declan but still, overall, he did a good job, especially differentiating between characters.

Not your typical MC

This story is so much more than an MC book. Yes, it involves an MC but it focuses more on the family life outside of the MC. It was a very interesting twist and had me hooked from the beginning. I had a hard time putting this book down to get some sleep! The book started out rough and had me worried about the path the story would take but I that path quickly changed to one I never saw coming. I hope Christine has more books following this particular club, as I feel I have connected with them in ways I hadn't thought possible at the beginning!

The narration was amazing! I love that this book is done in dual narration, it definitely brings the audio to another level! Sarah and DC did great with their respective characters and really brought out all of the emotions that happen in this book!

favorite narrator, enjoyed the story

I love Sarah Puckett. The narration on this story was well done. The story is a little different to what I have read before, and that difference made this book so much better for me. I loved Declan and Ever and the story. It made me cry, and I want to listen to it again. As emotional as I found some of it to be, I still enjoyed this story and the narration.

I would give this more stars if I could!

I started this story with a bit of trepidation because it was an MC story. But, oh my heart!!! This was so much more than a MC club story. It was a story of a child lost and tormented by those who were supposed to care for her, found by a man who saw her and loved every single piece of her, and who was rescued.

Ever list her mom when she was 8 and was taken to live with her biological dad, whom she had never met. He was the VP of a MC and told her she’s have a large family beyond his home. That move started out ok, but soon spiraled into heartache and pain for her. That pain stayed with her because of the ugly and painful words spoken by her friend that broke her even further. all because he believed a lie.

He finds out later, that it was a lie, and he begs for her forgiveness. She can’t forgive... his words caused an avalanche of things to happen in her life and took her to almost a point of no return.

Another friend comes back to town several years later and sees her... and sees and hears what’s been happening to her and makes it his mission to fix everything. He berates all of the people who were supposed to have taken care of her and have not done it. He falls in love with her...

There’s So much more to this story and I could go in and on about just HOW much I loved this!! But i will just say this... you will not regret, for one minute the time it takes to listen to this book! Not only have Christine Michelle and Christine M Butler written a fantastic story, but Sarah Puckett, who is fan-freaking-tasting, and DC Cole, who is one of my favorite male voices, do an amazing job with the narration!!!

Real forgveness is hard

Wow, real forgiveness is not that easy, specially when you had a huge betrayal from someone who you trusted and was supposed to protect you. This is what happened to Ever, and it was really heartbreaking to see. I was really mad and upset, and I don'tknow what would I have done if I were in her place.

I really love Declan and how he never give up on Ever and the way he helped her toward her journey of forgiveness, he's really great!

As for the narration, well, is Sarah Puckett, so you can not expect this to be nothing but great, she was amazing expressing all the emotions and portraying the characters really well.

An Ace!

Wonderful! It is so sad how people really do treat others, even children like how the MC was treated here. I only wish I knew who they were taking about in the epilog. Amazing story with s wonderful underlying message!

Just loved it

Beautifully narrated by Sarah Puckett and D C Cole (oh my goodness his low growly voice!!!). Such emotion and empathy just pulled me right in and I forgot that I was listening to just one person.

When you consider the theme of the book it somehow seems wrong to say I really loved it. But I did, I loved it. The characters are so beautifully written, I felt what they were going through with them. My emotions followed theirs on the roller coaster they went on. There was more than one time I wanted to slap people silly for what they were doing, yes I got that involved. My only quibble is the epilogue...I'm really not at all sure who they were talking about. It hasn't ruined the book just left me with questions....
