On the worst birthday of my life, I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, I’m drunk, homeless, and pledging to stay single forever. And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town, looking for fae like me.

Every generation, the king holds a competition for Seelie queen. But for reasons he won’t explain, Torin is looking for a charade, not a real marriage. So when I drunkenly sling insults his way, I have his attention.

When Torin offers me fifty million to participate, I think, “What have I got to lose?” The answer turns out to be “my life,” because my competition will literally kill for the crown.

And the more time I spend with the seductive king, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all supposed to be fake. Now, my life—and my heart—are on the line.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I started liking Ava as soon as she got drunk and insulted the fae king, and from there it was a wild journey through Faerie—with tons of sexual tension to keep me hooked."
—Washington Post Bestseller, K.F. Breene

"A steamy and fun slow burn, with a few moments that reminded me of what it would be like if Pride and Prejudice was set in Faerie."
—Washington Post Bestseller, Shannon Mayer

I couldnt put this book down. I finished it within 3 days of picking it up. I ordered the second book today when I suspected I was gonna be finishing this one by nightfall. And I did. And now im dying to read the second one. This was my first adult fantasy book, I guess you can say I've finally graduated from the young adult fantasy, and this didn't disappoint. There wasnt as much smut as I was anticipating (and hoping for), but it was exciting to read nonetheless. It was very fast paced, but unfortunately that made me finish it quicker than I wanted to. Still SO glad I bought this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining Bachelor, Fae edition
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024

I heard about CN Crawford while at Rare Paris, where they were singing. I was intrigued by what fellow readers said about their books. So why not read a new author while venturing outside my go-to genre?

Frost didn't disappoint. In fact, it was very entertaining and funny. A fae king who hosts a tournament to find a queen. The televised contest includes several events like a race through the enchanted forest and one-to-one dinner dates. One hundred one contestants for one coveted throne. Basically, it's the Bachelor Fae edition!

While most contestants are smitten with King Torin, Ava isn't impressed with him. Sure, she recognizes he is hot, but she couldn't care less about who he is. After being cheated on by her fiancee, she is taking a break from dating. Love is not on her agenda, which makes her Torin's ideal candidate. Because of a curse, he needs a wife he can't fall in love with.

The characters, the situations, and the tournament setting make for an amusing story, even amid the dangers threatening the Seelie kingdom. Plus, the banter between Ava and Torin is hilarious. The veil of mystery added an extra layer to the plot. Did I care that there was a cliffhanger? Nope. But now I'm curious about how the story will unfold.

I listened to GraphicAudio, which enhanced the overall experience. The audio was phenomenal, bringing Ava, Torin, and the myriad of secondary characters to life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reality Television and the Seelie..

3.5 Stars
I am a sucker for a beautiful cover. I added this to my purchase list just because it is so gorgeous.
And it was a fun read. A unique fae adventure that throws reality television and the Seelie together.
I will be honest at first, I was less than interested. The heroine, Ava, is a mess when you first meet her. And with good reason, a Fae living in the mortal world, struggling as a bartender, finds her boyfriend mid-thrust with the new love of his life on her birthday. So she does what all rational women do she gets embarrassingly drunk at a bar. Unfortunately, this is the same night the Seelie King Torin goes out to invite 100 Fae women to compete for his hand at marriage in a contest. Ava, to her surprise, finds she has been selected as a contestant. A contest that will be televised to the mortal realm. But Ava hates the Fae and wants nothing to do with men or love. She tells Torin this in a very embarrassing way, through slurred words delivered with contempt. Which becomes a viral video.

While this sounds entertaining, it wasn't for me. Something about the entire first few chapters rubbed me the wrong way. But I kept reading, and I am glad I did.

Ava ends up entering the contest after King Torin offers her a deal. She will get 50 million dollars if she goes through with the contest. Because Torin has secrets. He has been cursed and can not love.
"I was cursed, and I had been my whole life. If I ever fell in love with my bride, she would die. And it would be my own touch that would kill her— freezing her to the marrow like the bleak landscape around us."
He must find a bride that can heal his country without worrying about love messing up the arrangement. Ava, the drunk desperate common Fae, is perfect.
“Well, that’s good, darling, because as I said, I’m looking for someone I can’t love, and so far, you are the perfect match.”
And as all things go, feelings develop when you least expect them.
“We are a match made in hell, but I have never wanted anyone more, Ava Jones,”
And I liked the chemistry between them but it wasn't enough somehow.
I wasn't wowed by this book but did enjoy it. The last part of the book was more entertaining for me. There was more wild and ruthless behavior that I have come to expect from Seelie, and I grew to like Ava. I cheered for her success. The ending left me wanting more, so I will be reading book two.

I just liked all of it.
Wasn't bored, characters were easy to love.
Funny, fun, I teared up a bit.
Only reason I'm not giving it 5, I listened and read at the same time, and there were discrepancies between the book and audio that had me confused.

Simplesmente a melhor mistura de “a seleção” com “corte de espinhos e Rosas” que poderia existir!
Eu to MUITO feliz que achei esse livro e surtando que o segundo só sai em fevereiro (triste 🥲).

Quando me perguntam qual tipo de livro eu gosto é exatamente isso que eu tento descrever. Fantasia com romance, suspense e muita ação / intriga… amo!

Wow what an amazing start to this series, Ava is such a strong character who has been through so much and has no idea where she has come from. The journey for her to discover the truth about herself is full of ups and downs, I absolutely loved it and can not wait to see where the journey takes us next.

I have been wanting to read this book for quite some time and I'm so happy I finally did because I loved it!
I always like books with Faeries in it and this was definitely no exception.
The storyline was good and I quickly liked the characters in the book.
I did predict the ending but I don't even mind. I'm just curious what this will mean for the next book!
I'm also definitely going to be looking for more books by this author!
