I'm in aww of this book. Like what just happened. I need book three right now. That ending has me questioning everything. I loved this book so much. Zabriel and Isavelle are just such amazing characters, and I love watching their relationship grow over time. Her first heat was such a crazy whirlwind of things going on. I'm still speechless over this book. I highly recommend reading this series as it is a captivating series. The things that happen in this book were so cool, I loved seeing Isavelle grow as a witch, ruler, and mate. I love seeing the Maladeni people also growing into themselves as they are learning about their designations as well.

This book is basically a 5 for the vibes and the overall good time I had reading this. If you are looking for an amazing fantasy series that focuses on omegaverse, look no further. This is the second book in what I believe to be a trilogy and I enjoyed it even more than the first. The focus of this book is definitely the relationship between the Alpha Zabriel and his Omega Isavelle. This was my first foray into Omegaverse and I loved this and the first book Flame king’s captive. I definitely have to be in my smut reading mood to read this as it is very spicy. I love how protective they both are of each other and how much he still allows her to be her own person while being an omega. This book moved the story along and we got to see more of the world and there were some twists along the way. This book ended on a brutal cliffhanger and I am now salivating to read the next which i think(hope) is the final installment. The narrators for this book were simply amazing. They truly brought the story to life and I loved both voices and the narration style. If you are looking for a fun, sexy, fantasy ride then I can’t recommend this book and the overall series enough.

The Flame King’s Bride
by Chloe Chastaine; Lilith Vincent


The Flame King’s Bride was pretty hot!
The narration was top-tier, but I had some issues with the storyline. That may be just me since I normally don't listen to fantasy. Otherwise, it's a good audio listen.

I'm a mood reader, so I'm going to assume I'm just not in the mood for this book, but I highly doubt it. The Flame King Bride is book two in the Fire and Desire series, and book 1 should be read before this book. I didnt personally read book 1 (i wasnt confused about what was going on) but i DNF at 20% simply because nothing has happened beside Zabriel and Isavelle screwing because Zabriel in a rut and Isavelle heat is coming up. Normally I would be interested, but for some reason I'm not with this book.
I will attempt to listen to this book at a later time.

The narrators did a good job, they were easy to listen to and also understand. Listened at 2x speed.

Thank you, NetGalley, and RB Media for the audiobook in exchnahe for my honest review.

I got this as a duet narrated audiobook. This starts out with some spice I was not prepared for for this is also book 2, which is also something I didn’t realize when I started reading this, but they did a good job of going back and kind of explaining what happened in the first book so you could keep up with going on the second book Without being too confused.
I did enjoy this book a lot. I mean, you can’t go too wrong with some dragons and mates and stuff. This does end on a cliffhanger.

This book was a delightful blend of magic, dragons, and omegaverse elements—exactly my style! The fantasy world of dragons and riders met my expectations.

Isavelle was a standout character for me; I loved her straightforwardness. However, Zabriel didn’t resonate as much; his emotional depth felt lacking.

My main critique is that the plot meandered in the middle, with some scenes where the spice interrupted key moments, feeling repetitive at times. Despite this, I enjoyed the world and overall story arc and plan to continue the series!

I recommend this to fantasy romance fans who enjoy omega dynamics and dragons!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook!

If you like NSFW, dragons, fated mates, Alpha/Omega then this is for you. This book seemed more smut heavy than plot heavy, but this book was still very enjoyable to read. I felt that the MC in this book talked more about knotting and nest than anything else. It probably took up more than a 1/3 of the book. Don't get me wrong I love a good knotting and paranormal romance, but I felt that it took over more than needed. We got it after the first few times.

I also felt that the twist at the end was a little expected and needed to happen for the continuation of the story. I don't know if I will continue this series as I felt that I wasn't grabbed enough in the end. Yes, the smutt was good, but I'm more likely to grab a dark romance if I want a more smutt heavy book.

While this book may not have been specifically for me -BUT you are a fan of:

Dragons?
Spice?
A Sweet FMC?
A Broody MMC?
Fated Mates?

This book might be for you.

Unfortunately it did read a little too much like fan-fiction and relying on specific troupes.
I did enjoyed the fast paced nature of the book though and the audiobook narrators did a great job!

Thank you net galley

Such an amazing series! I loved everything about out this. If you are a fan of fantasy romance then you definitely need to listen to this! The plot and romance are equal amazing! Can’t wait to continue this :)

📖 Bookish Moments
This was such a fun mix of magic, dragons, and omega verse goodness — right up my alley. I love a fantasy world full of dragon and dragon riders and this book delivered on the tropes I was hoping for.

Isavelle was my favorite part of this book. I loved how she always spoke her mind. Zabriel, on the other hand… not my fave. His character just didn’t hit the same emotional depth for me!

My biggest critique is that the plot got a little lost in the middle. There were a few scenes where the spice kind of interrupted key story moments — and not always in a way that felt natural. Some felt repetitive, especially when they happened so close together.
But I still really enjoyed this world and the overall story arc. I’m definitely continuing the series!

"Where is my MATE?!?!?!?!"

🎧 Narration Style: Dual
⭐️ Audio Score: 3.5 stars
The audiobook didn’t totally work for me. I struggled with the male narrator’s tone. I liked the female narrator a lot more!
💭 Final Thoughts:
📚 Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🫶 Would still recommend this to fantasy romance lovers who enjoy omega dynamics, and dragons!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook!

Okay so this was a good book to read thankful thatni got a chance to read it going to be waiting on another one to come out.....omg what a listen

Audiobook Review of The Flame Kingʻs Bride by Lilith Vincent writing as Chloe Chastaine
Reviewed by Sally Matinfar
1. Introduction:
In this review, I will be discussing The Flame King’s Bride. It was quite a captivating tale of fantasy, romance and what the booktok and bookstagram community refer to as “spice”. I'll be diving into various aspects of the audiobook for a more in depth review.
2. Narration:
Marie Hawkins- Voice is clear and easy to understand and suits the tone of the book. It follows the first book perfectly. Narration is set at the same pace as the previous book. She uses appropriate inflections, tone changes, and emotional cues to match the story’s mood. She differentiate between characters effectively and brings the characters to life. Overall nothing short of exceptional as with the first audiobook.
Christian Leatherman- Voice is clear and easy to understand. However it’s clear that he’s not the same narrator as book one and has a different style of narrating than Edward black (book one Zabriel). He had appropriate inflections, tone changes, emotional cues to match the story’s mood. He differentiated between characters outstandingly and gives each character their own voice and personality. Overall a pristine portrayal of all the characters.
3. Audio Quality:
Clear and crisp with appropriate volume levels throughout the audiobook.
4. Storytelling:
The story itself offers an engaging and well paced storyline. The author excellently weaves together elements of fantasy and romance, building a world filled with dragons, witches, and desire. The plot has enough twists and turns to keep the listener hooked. The character development is strong, and the stakes feel real helping to keep the listener engaged.
5. Length and format:
Both were ideal for these genres.
6. Overall Experience:
My overall experience was positive due to a combination of the story line and both narrators performances. I will be looking forward to the third book coming to audio.
7. Conclusion-
I can definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves Fantasy Romance. It has all the elements that make these genres fun, such as magic, spice and plot twists. I left a positive review under the book on Goodreads and Barnesandnoble.com
8. Thank you:
A big thank you to the publisher for giving me the chance to listen ahead of the release and allowing me to share my thoughts. I really appreciate the opportunity to review this audiobook. it was such a fun experience, and I can’t wait for others to enjoy it as well!

This is by no means a complex book w/ lots of depth- The premise of it all is fantastic, but when it all sort of pans out… It’s an alright read at best. All I know is, the spice was spicing- And we love that here lmfao. Although, there was a lack of personality from certain characters- I just feel like it could’ve been fleshed out a tad bit better. Overall, this was a fun read w/ fun narrators. The cliffhanger though?
My goodness 😮‍💨🤍

3 1/2 stars however I'd like the preface this by also saying I din't know this was book 2 when I started and I think this is a series you have to start from he beginning and read all books. It seems like a lot happens in book 1 and this book starts right off at the ending of the last book. I was label to follow almost everything but I can tell Im still missing a lot. The story was very interesting and I think I would have liked it more had ai actually stated with book 1.

Isavelle and Zabriel are mates but Isavelle has been taken. Knowing that Isabelle will be going into heat soon Zabriel is devastated and his one focus is to find her and keep her safe. There's also issues with Zabriel's people having a problem with who Isabelle is not like them causing more issues for Zabriel and Isabelle. When they think they may finally have everything they could have ever wanted betrayal hits this couple that may mean the end.

The first thing I thought of when I started this book was that it reminded me of an adult How To Train A Dragon🤣. This book was fun but again I for sure came in at a disadvantage that was 100% my fault. I really enjoyed the world created and you get some really great story buildups I'm guessing for books to come. This is a fun read and I really enjoyed the authors storytelling and I will always be a sucker for PNR.

Thank you Netgalley and Tantor Audio for the ARC

Great story! High level of sex, knotting, alpha speak. I enjoyed from start to finish despite not reading the first book. This book did make me want to read the first book however!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ALC of The Flame King’s Bride!

This audiobook had a lot going for it, especially with the dual narration. Both narrators did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life, adding depth and emotion that made the listening experience engaging. Their performances truly elevated the story, making it easy to sink into the world Chloe Chastaine created.

That being said, the story itself felt a bit repetitive at times. While the premise was intriguing, certain elements seemed to cycle rather than progress, which slowed the pacing. I enjoyed the dynamic between the characters, but I found myself wishing for more development and fresh twists to keep things moving.

Overall, this was an enjoyable listen with strong narration, and fans of fantasy romance might appreciate its immersive world and character-driven moments. While it didn’t completely wow me, it had its strengths, and I’d be curious to see what Chastaine writes next!

I loved this story! The writing was great and the storyline engaging. The ending though? I need to know what happens next. I am hooked!

Thank you NetGalley for the audiobook arc. The narrators did a good job bringing the characters to life and while I do love dual narrations this book is not my favorite. It’s definitely character driven just unfortunately too close to other books that I have read before. Girl gets saves by the supposed villain ends up being their fated mate, they fight the “pull” to them, they get capture or find they have hidden powers, rut happens and they go at it for days. The writing was okay for me and it was nice that it was more character driven then just knowing and rutting like some books and the mfc was not my favorite character. I give this book 3.5 but will round up to 4 cause it just wasn’t for me.

Did not finish because it was the second book in the series (not noted in the summary and it was not something you could read as standalone

Fantasy romance
Spicy

Wow. Ok this was really good. I had to go back and listen to the first book before listening to this. I hadn’t realized this was a second in series. The first book was slow burn material and about building the world and connection of the two main characters.

This book was everything that one wasn’t. This had the spicy spice sauce poured all over it.

Beware there is a heck of a cliffhanger! Need book three ASAP!

If you’re a fan of fantasy romance then this series is definitely for you.
