Summary

Once Upon a Time,
There was a king who passed.
He left behind two sons,
one beloved and one outcast.
The older of the two was set to take the throne,
but before he could, he had to find a queen to call his own.
The younger one was known to be unruly and unhinged.
The chosen queen was warned to keep far away from him.
Beautiful and cunning, in the light is where she stayed.
But late at night, it was the shadowed lands in which she played.
Mistakes were made and secrets forged;
forgetting duty and her sense.
And while the new king had her hand,
her heart belonged to the scarred prince.

Scarred is a dark royal romance. It is not a retelling, and it is not fantasy. It has mature situations and themes which may be considered triggers for some. Listener discretion is advised.

Loved the accents

I loved the voice actors, particularly their accents. However I didn’t really enjoy the story itself, I was mostly struggling through it.

Dark historical romance

I didn't realise this was set in the past, 1910 to be exact. Still I enjoyed it. There is lots of tension and yearning and conflicting emotions at play here. Sara is a strong, kickass heroine but Tristan doesn't really have any redeemable qualities at all (I think when the mmc tortures his own best friend it says something....)
The spice has some k!nky elements to it but it took a really long time to happen.
The narration was good but there are some minor differences that were a bit annoying, for example the audio said hyenas and little lion but the ebook says jackals and little tiger. I truly don't understand the need for the change and it was annoying enough I removed 1 star.

Too much torture!

On the whole I enjoyed the plot and this take on the lion King. I was not a fan of all the torture though. Tristan and Sara were both pretty sadistic which wasn't very nice and their sex scenes where also a bit too explicit for my liking. #dark

Great story but not keen on narrators

The story is great! I loved the plot and was really easy to follow but the Prince’s voice gave me Prince John from Disneys Robin Hood vibes (major turn off) and Sara sounded like a child (even bigger turn off)

Secrets in the castle

I liked the sneaky aspects of the main characters. It added anticipation and a place for the plot to build on. While reading, you got to suss out who really was the bad guy. I enjoyed the spice and overall story. Easy audiobook to listen to while doing other chores around the house.

Great retelling!

Not sure why it says this isn't a retelling when it should be embracing that it is the Lion King. Tristan is hillarious and so sexy and Sara is badass which makes this a joy to listen to. I think the performance from the narrators is perfect and just loved this book so much.

My only criticism is that the ending is a little rushed. I think perhaps action scenes is not the authors strong suit or perhaps not the intent but it makes the story lose the rhythm a bit.

Still, I loved it and will definitely read the rest of the series!

Lion King

Great story. Cept me on my toes with twisting of the plot..
Spice 4/5
4/5 on performance because the male narrator is a little to old sounding and the female narrator a little to young sounding.. Voices too lite and too dark.
