About this listen

In the cut-throat game of court life, masters manipulate pawns—and you never know which one you are. One thing is certain: there's no space on the board for love.

A penniless noblewoman, Kat is on the verge of losing everything when she's offered a well-paid job that could be her salvation… or her ruin. Drawn into court's deadly intrigues, she's given a single task: spy on the powerful fae lord known as the Night Queen's Shadow.

Bastian Marwood is handsome, ruthless, and cunning, but Kat can't decide if he's a threat to her kingdom or just her heart. To uncover the truth, she must play a dangerous game of desire and deceit, pushing him to reveal his secrets while protecting her own. But Bastian's shadows have a hold on her—one she isn't sure she wants to escape.

Kat soon learns that at court, nothing is as it seems, and even the best-laid plans can be destroyed in an instant. As a pawn on the board, she can't afford to fall victim to love—only fight for survival.

A Kiss of Iron is the first book in a new series featuring court intrigue, a morally grey hero, and an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers romance. Perfect for fans of Gild and From Blood and Ash.

I enjoyed the story but I did struggle with Kat. such a stubborn woman, there were things that didn't make sense around family being so important, but she didn't know her sister was alive etc.
She was very bothered about Bastian's history and not so bothered about not telling her own truths.
I agree about the male narrator his breathing is all wrong. But it was similar for the male narrator in Trial of the Sun Queen & he improved or I got used to him?!, so hopefully he will improve if he is going to talk more!
it's a free book, so would recommend. ☺️

Great tale.Awful male narrator for last chapter, so wooden, The female narrator was wonderful though, should have let her do the whole book.

Intriguing

Good story

Not for me. The FMC was so scared, too weak and too miserable. The MMC was too secretive, but not too bad... (cool shadow power, cool other power, barely used it). Loooong story, but gave very little of world building. Mostly just her pinning, being unsure and scared. Either give me more smut or more world/story development.
It was leading somewhere.... I am sure it will get beautiful later. I just got bored.

Court intrigue, poor communication & hurt feelings

I laughed, I cried and I awwnn so much. Loved the slow burn and the angst. I did guess a few titbits but still loved the revelation all the same. The narration was impeccable but I don’t know how I felt about the male narrator wasn’t bad but just wasn’t what I was expecting as well but loved it all the same. Can’t wait for book 2 and 3, hope the flame finally burned between them.
