About this listen

Escape to a magical world filled with fantastical creatures, spine-tingling adventures, and burning hot romance, with Beth’s trademark humor, emotional and epic journeys and beloved characters.

There’s a lost prince, hoping to stay lost. Another prince, desperate to be found. An ancient creature, banished from his own kingdom, willing to do anything—even find his own happily ever after—to save another.

Yours, Forever After - After years spent lost in his beloved books, Prince Emory awakens to find his villainous aunt working to usurp his throne. When she sends him on a dangerous quest, he’s certain the journey is a trap, but he’s not willing to accept defeat without a fight. But a fight is something Rory is unprepared and untrained for, until he’s saved by a handsome, unassuming farmhand and his snooty, smug, and surprisingly talkative unicorn.

Yours, Everlasting - Evander has gone by many names in the last thousand years. He’s lived almost as many lives, using his immortality and his unique shapeshifting abilities to become anyone and anything. He's ready for a well-deserved rest. But the past never stays buried, and he discovers that it’s been watching him. Marcos, the Guardian of War, has waited, he’s observed, he’s admired, and he’s yearned. But now it’s time for Evander see him for who he truly is. An ally, not a foe. Maybe even a lover.

Unexpected

I picked this box mostly for the second book, what I surprise it was when the main character there has a big role here. I’ve already liked him before realising that, he was the one keeping the plot enigmatic and interesting, I’ve liked this character very much.
I got confused thought, the voices change, which has its reasons (It took me a lot of time to see them), but it was confusing at the beginning and annoying pretty much all the time, specially when the narrator mixed Evrard and Rhys’ voices like he did in chapter 25.
There were other weird things like addressing a king as “Your Highness” instead of “Your Majesty”—it happens a couple of times—; when in the prologue it’s said Rhys was taller and the next chapter he’s sort; or Evander distrusting Marcos when he can sense lies, resentful, alright, distrust, no so much. (Or the begging during bed scenes like in pretty much all MM romance books, why is there always begging? And why is it mostly from the bottom or the submissive?)
The big one may be that Marcos should have voted against (it makes no sense to me that he agrees), but therefore none of the two stories would have happened. So if one ignores this fact they are good stories, not what I expected—in a good way—,and I liked them. I’ll probably read the books first before listening to the audiobook again.
The narrator makes a great job with accents, and changing voices according to the appearance of the character, but sometimes he mixed or changed the voices, specially during narration parts, using character’s voices instead of narrator’s—I don’t mean inner thoughts—, it was a bit confusing. And a longer pause between pauses in chapters would’ve have been appreciated, it was there sometimes, not always though. For example, on chapter 14 they were in the throne room talking and suddenly alone in a suit of rooms.
But the way, at the end of chap 22 there’s some seconds with background sounds, the last 12 seconds in fact.

«Aren’t we all lost? (…) In our own ways?».

Lovely stories

I’ve listened to some of Beth Bolden’s other stories – all contemporary romances. I was thrilled to have the chance to sink into something new with her and was delighted with the result. Now, this box set is a duology. The first book, Yours, Forever After is the love story of Prince Emory and the man he falls in love with. Gray – formerly Prince Graham – wants nothing to do with the spoiled prince with his head in the clouds. Gray fought for his life as a young boy and barely survived. He’s made a good life for himself – why would he give that all up and come back from the dead? As he embarks upon a quest with Rory, though, he discovers there’s more to the young man. And, as they face perils together, the attraction grows. Guided by the steadfast and annoying king of the unicorns, Everard, the men find that – together – they can defeat Emory’s wicked aunt.

I loved everything about this story – the slow burn romance as Emory finally discovers what all those books were talking about. Gray fighting his instinct to stay hidden instead of taking his place in the fight. And the eventual outcome which was just perfect. Just a lovely story.

Yours, Everlasting is Everard story. We learned in the first book, that Everard can take many forms. I would say his most interesting is that of the unicorn king, but he’s currently Rhys. That all changes when he slips out of the castle and is joined by another shapeshifter – Marcos. Evander, Everard’s true identity, comes to the fore as he deals with the God of War. Their attraction sizzles, explodes, and then fun times occur.

The story was good, but I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as Rory and Gray’s – but that’s just me. Both were well done and the duology works well.

Brennan Rossi is a strong narrator and he was perfect for these audios. No hesitation to pick up another one of his or another one of Beth’s – no matter what genre.

Wonderful fantasy saga!

This was such a great fantasy duology. The worldbuilding is extremely well done, and the two romances are just amazing. Book 1 was great, I love Rory and Graham; it did feel a little long, but honestly I think it was so necessary to make this immense magical world. And, it was a great set up for book2 which was absolutely a 5 star book for me. The world is expanded in such an incredibly interesting way and the romance is just chock full of delicious pining. It was one of those books that I could not stop listening to once I started! Brennan Rossi is a new narrator to me, and at first I thought I didn't see enough range, but I ended up thinking I was just wrong there. Each voice was nuanced and just perfect for the character they represented. I would not be mad to see more in this world!

Amazing

Yours Forever After

What can I say about this book, except I absolutely loved it!
Grey is on the run, having had to flee his kingdom like a theif in the night in order to save himself from the wicked witch/stepmother and his besotted, blinded father.
He's only a child but luckily Everard, a deliciously sarcastic and snarky unicorn comes to his rescue.
He becomes a farmer and although bitter and jaded, is content to live hisd life peacefully peacefully.
That serenity is shattered when his past catches up with him in the form of Rory.
Rory is a quiet, studious prince has no interest in the throne and is also gullible.
He's unaware of the lust for power his aunt Sabrina harbors behind her beautiful facade. She sends him on a quest and he soon realizes it's sole purpose was intended to kill him off.
When he meets Grey, Grey realizes it's time to stop hiding and take responsibility.
This book was filled with betryals, manipulation, magic, and adventure.
The sweet, slow-burn romance between Grey and Rory was great to see.


Yours Everlasting

This a wonderful continuation of the series.
While there is action, danger and drama the main focus is the relationship between Evander and Marcos.
Evander is prickly, like a cactus.
He has absolutely no need for Marcos who he sees as useless apart from his work as a Guardian.
Marcos, on the other hand has been secretly pining for Evander.
As they are forced into proximity by working together, a spark flares between them.
We actually get to know more about Evander and what led to him being so defensive and using it as armor to protect himself.
I loved Marco's unwavering devotion and continuous support of Evander.
Evander's slow realization that he actually loves Marco was wonderful to see because it allowed me to see him become vulnerable.

Brendan Rossi did an amazing job narrating and bringing these characters to life.

Evrard....so sassy.

Although I found this a little slow in parts, the story was interesting, In book 1, I adored Evrard, who was so sassy, but sweet. The narrator started off a little slow, but when he got into hisvstride, he was fine. Book 2 is a really good follow up to the first book, Yours, Forever. There's a real poignancy in this one. Evander has given up so much and endured a great deal to protect humankind. In this story all of his pain is revealed, as is what he has lost. I really enjoyed the character of Marcos, his steadfastness both warmed and hurt my heart. When the two finally get together I breathed a big sigh of happiness and relief. The story is slightly sluggish in parts, but on the whole a first class story. 4.5 stars overall.

good audio

I'm always a fan of a box set, and this is a nice juicy one. It's only two books, but they're long books, and the audio I listened to is over 22 hours altogether. I haven't read much MM fantasy, but I used to read regular fantasy a lot.

The blurb for this book hinted at comic fantasy, I basically had to download as soon as it said snooty unicorn, but although there were a few asides that made me snigger it was mostly taken seriously. I wouldn't have minded if it had leaned a little harder into the comic fantasy, but that's a very difficult vibe to get right, so I don't mind that it wasn’t really going for laughs.

Gray and Rory were both amazing characters and their chemistry really leapt off the page. They had a yummy size difference and I really enjoyed the contrasts between them. The relationship between them and Evrard the unicorn was what kept me listening when the plot dragged a little, but happily it picked up again. Part Two was odd. It didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the book somehow, and although I liked it as a story, it didn't quite fit. Book 2 focuses on a different couple, Evrard from the first book is here called Evander, and I enjoyed his match with fellow immortal Marcos. (Somehow accidentally started listening on chapter 9, which I don't recommend as it didn't make much sense, but we got sorted out eventually.) This has encouraged me to be braver venturing out of my comfort zone of MM contemporary romance, so that's exciting. Overall, this was a good listen.
