Caitlin Elizabeth, Victoria Mei, Will Thorne, and Adenrele Ojo perform the first entry in a fantasy epic laden with erotic suspense. For thousands of years, a pact has existed between humanity and the gods: Every 100 years the current human king is bound to send a consort to the king of the gods, Ash, who has the ability to shift forms. Now the current human king is training his daughter as a consort--and an assassin. Each narrator commands their own sections, giving the story a dynamic sound and feel. Ash is a fascinating standout as an ancient god who is fascinated by the human king's attempt to kill him; his voice simmers with curiosity and intrigue. The steamy erotic moments of this romance outshine the fiery fantasy.

This gently adventurous time travel romance makes for a lighthearted listen.
Brittany Pressley returns to narrate this companion title to Her Knight at the Museum. Inspired by her friend, Emily, Chicago museum employee Rose Novak tries a little magic on a 19th-century painting and ends up summoning Henry Leighton-Lyons, the Duke of Beresford, to her apartment. Rose has a warm voice as she sympathizes with Henry's situation and his grief over the loss of his wife. Henry's upper-crust accent screams pompous aristocrat, even as his fascination with scientific advances often slips into his voice. As Rose and Henry grow closer, Pressley makes their mutual affection clear.

Review Posted Online: Feb. 10, 2026
Freddy Carter and Emily Carey continue their compelling performances in the second installment of the City of Fantome series. As Sera explores her new powers amid the Order of Flames, Ransom struggles with leading the Order of Daggers. While both are trying to protect their kingdom, they are drawn back to the city of Fantome when the king orders them to settle their rivalry and work together. Carter's and Carey's performances are delivered with such appeal that listeners will find it easy to buy into the plot and worldbuilding. Both narrators have dreamy tones, which are perfect for this romantasy series. Carter and Carey's portrayals of the leads in this enemies-to-lovers romance will keep listeners hooked.
