Enjoyabel fairy tale

Yours, Forever After, is my first book by Beth Bolden. I enjoyed this adorable fairy tale because who doesn't love talking unicorns? This idea was totally cute and along with a lost prince and a prince who is betrayed by his relatives, it makes for a wonderful story. The fairy tale is entertaining because there is a lot of action, suspense and magic. But you can also laugh in between.
I found the two main characters very likeable and I also liked the unicorn, even if it was a bit difficult to like it in between. The two princes Rory and Gray fit together really well, even if it sometimes seems as if they are very opposite. The author has created a wonderful romance with a true love and together they fight against the villain of this fairy tale. I was well entertained by this entertaining story.

Brennan Rossi was also new to me, but I really liked his performance. I think he has a pleasant voice and he voiced the characters differently, which is why I could easily tell them apart.

A wonderful fairytale!

Two years ago, I read the most amazing fairytale written by Beth Bolden. The plot was captivating and unique keeping me at the end of my seat the whole time, Emory and Graham are a sweet couple, that had to fight for the opportunity to be together by overcoming the evil threatening their future and finding their own happily ever after all with the help of a snarky unicorn as every decent fairytale needs to have. Loving so much the ebook, it was wonderful to discover the book was made into an audiobook. Brennan Rossi made an amazing job in narrating the story with a very beautiful voice, great acting skills and and agile reading. A perfect way to read and reread this lovely story. Simply wonderful!

Great story shame about the narration

This was an interesting and entertaining story that I nearly gave up on because the narrator was amateurish and just plain awful. I particularly enjoyed listening to them breathing at the end of one chapter. The accents were weird and the inflection was poor.
Do yourself a favour and read the book yourself. The story is great and the characters really are likeable. Just better without the taint of the narrator.
I didn’t want to give performance any stars but apparently I have too. It’s the only reason it got one. I’d doesn’t deserve it.

Enjoyable fairy tale adventure!

Such an intriguing, interesting, and very entertaining jaunt into fairy tale kingdoms & legends, sorceresses & talking unicorns! The romance aspect was well done & well-incorporated, they really had to work for it, and work together; they finally get their HEA & secrets are all revealed. Loved the story flow & character development, comic foils, it all worked beautifully & kept the reader enthralled.
Brennan Rossi (new to me narrator) did a great job with the character voicings, story pacing, emoting/acting, and has a pleasing voice to listen to for hours. There is always room for improvement, in "conversing" the story, rather than "reading" it - which did get better as the book progressed - as well as technical/production quality issues that crept in occasionally. Overall, very entertaining, loved the accents/character voices; they were consistent throughout & very distinct from each other. Keep up the good work! I will definitely listen to more from both author and narrator.

Magic & a wonderful feel-good, adventure!

I enjoy the world Beth created and the mystery throughout was great. I loved the world where bi was a given and attraction had no shame. I loved Gray and Rory! Opposites in so many ways but matched so well.

I love the approach to the villain and how she was connected to both Gray and Rory. Her villainous knew no bounds but I did feel her demise was a little anticlimactic for such a pivotal role in the story. I'm very glad we didn't have to experience any near loss like with many fairy tales.

I must say, while I love the "old English/fairytale style" of writing, I did find the whole story (but mainly the first few chapters) rather difficult to read with my dyslexia. With the "old-your" style, the sentence flow was more difficult to follow but I am so glad I persevered as I fell in love with Gray along the way.

A great adventure, with slow-burn, angst, romance, humor, and good old fairytale hope and magic! I'm so glad we'll get more of Gray, Rory, and Evrard soon!!!

This is a brilliant story that is full of action, intrigue and love. Brennan brought the characters to life

Loved this!

I enjoyed this audio very much. Great narrator!
He brought the characters alive very well I thought.

A thrilling magical adventure and sweet romance

I adored Gray and Rory's magical journey the first time I read it, and listening to the audio was a real treat! Brennan did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life, and I really loved the way he narrated their story.

Gray and Rory were characters I easily connected with, and it didn't take long for me to be invested in their romance. Gray's reserved, grumpy attitude was understandable given the way he was forced to grow up, but it still made me sad to see how he tried to push everyone away. Watching him warm up to Rory was really sweet, and I loved how Rory never gave up on him. Their relationship progressed slowly, over shared meals and long stretches of time alone, but it was still exciting to see the two of them grow closer as their adventure continued. Theirs wasn't the most explosive, passionate romance, but the softer, sweeter pace felt fitting for the men they were. In addition to the slow build of their affections, Rory and Gray had a really exciting quest to embark on. I was eager to see how they would manage to defeat Sabrina after all she'd done to their kingdoms, and despite all my guesses I still didn't get it right. I was thrilled to see Rory and Gray emerge victorious, but beyond that I loved getting to see the two of them tackle the last of their relationship issues and feel secure in their future together.

**I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

A beautiful, epic tale of love and magic!

Two princes, each lost in their own way, find their way to their future and love.
I loved how Rory, though naïve at times, finds the strength t fight for his rightful place on the throne. And the way Gray, finds his way back into the real world and away from the valley where he had hidden himself for years.
Together they fight evil magical creatures and even more evil relatives.

A story As Old Of Time.

MM, Fantasy, Paranormal, Adventure, Romance. Two Prince's from neighbouring Kingdoms fated to meet and join forces against the Evil that has affected both of their lives for so many years. Prince Graham of Ardglass has remained hidden for his own safety for 15 years and the young Prince Emory, heir to the throne of Fontaine has innocently been kept unaware of what is going on around him but now the time has come for them to fight for themselves and their Kingdoms. Fantastic story that has twists and turns throughout and held me captive for over 12 hours!. Action and adventure with some magic and mystery, I cannot fault this story, brilliantly written with a guaranteed HEA. This would of been a multiple 5 star review however ATM there are some narration and editing issues that need to be sorted out. I have been in touch with the author and she is contacting the narrator for these issues to be corrected. This is a 5 star story and I loved it and I look forward to listening to it again in the near future.
