His Darkest Desire by Tiffany Roberts

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A cursed goblin sorcerer. The human female he’s waited an eternity for. A secret that could tear them apart.

A quaint cottage in a Scottish forest seemed the perfect place for Kinsley to start anew. But when a tragic accident leaves her isolated and dying, her new life is over before ever beginning.

Until a dark, mysterious being emerges from the night gloom and offers to save her—for a price.

With no other choice but death, she accepts. She awakens to find herself bound to an ancient, powerful goblin who is equally terrifying and intriguing. He’s terse, demanding, brooding.

Despite that, Kinsley is drawn to him, captivated by his sinful crimson eyes, craving his every wicked touch.

But what will happen when he discovers the truth? What will happen when he learns that Kinsley cannot fulfill their pact?

What will happen if she lets this goblin claim her heart along with her freedom?

The heroine: Kinsley – she married her high school sweetheart, and they divorced three years ago. She loves the outdoors and is a content creator on social media. She takes her followers along with her on hikes through the ancient forests all over the year. She is now in the Scottish Highlands, renting a cottage in the ancient forest. On the way to the cottage for the first time, driving in the rain, she sees a supernatural blue light, and the car crashes through the forest hitting obstacles along the way before finally coming to rest against a hard object where she loses consciousness.

The Story: After her accident, Kinsley was impaled with a branch and stuck in the car. She still saw the glowing blue orb she had seen before the crash, and it seemed to be helping her. Though she couldn’t reach her purse where her phone was located. She couldn’t remove the branch, and she knew she was dying. When all the sudden she heard a male voice outside her vehicle, telling her his aid comes at a price.

The Hero: Vex – he is a goblin and a sorcerer and was cursed a long time ago when he made a pact with the fae queen and went back on it because she basically forced him to become her sex slave. Vex is imprisoned in his own realm and unable to move to other realms. A child born of his seed is the only way to get rid of the curse. He comes across a mortal woman dying and immediately knows she is his mate. He tells her he can save her, but she has to agree to be his mate and have his babies.

Kinsley agreed to the terms and passed out. She wakes up the next morning in a strange cottage, in a very green forest, which was odd since it was autumn. She is fully recovered and isn’t sure if her accident was a dream or what exactly is going on. Whomever brought her to the cottage was nowhere to be found. However, when the male comes to her in the night, he tells her that she is bound to him by her oath, and she will fulfill her oath and bear his child. Though he would not do to her what the queen had done to him and take her against her will.

I liked the characters, and the plot was pretty good, though the story kind of dragged on and on in parts. I think there could have been a lot more action, especially if the author would have had the Fae Queen come back for some reason. As it was, there was no real conflict, aside from the fact that both characters had things from their past they were still dealing with.

This audiobook is in dual points of view and narrated in duet narration. Corvin King and Celia Stone do the narration. I really like both of these narrators. Corvin King has a deep sexy voice, and I find I have been searching out books he narrates lately because I like his voice so much. Celia Stone has a soft, feminine voice and sounds youthful. Overall, I really enjoyed the narration.
