Ironling: A Fantasy Monster Romance

Monstrous World, Book 2

By: S. E. Wendel

Narrated by: Sophie Daniels, William Macleod

A lady heir in a world of lords…

Aislinn Darrow was never meant to be her father's heir, but that was before her selfish brother condemned himself. Now, she must give up her old life to take his place. She should be presiding in her father's council chamber and serving the people of the Darrowlands—yet time and again, she finds herself straying to the castle smithy to visit the handsome new blacksmith manning the forge.

A lady can never claim a monster…

Hakon has known all his life that his place is in the background. At least at his forge, he can be of use and demonstrate his skills. The life of a halfling is one of halves and pieces, never quite to belong. When he hears of a place that welcomes halflings, he determines to build a new life for himself in the Darrowlands. It is a bittersweet fate to find everything he could ever want there, in a woman he can never have. He knows his green, sooty hands don't deserve to touch her, but Hakon cannot resist tempting Lady Aislinn back to him, nor indulging in the fantasy of claiming her as his own.

But in a world of lords and politics, a lady such as Aislinn could never truly take a halfling like him to mate and wed—especially when her position as a woman lord and usurper leaves her and her people vulnerable. When grasping lords threaten the Darrowlands, prepared to take Aislinn's hand and land through marriage or force, she must choose—the halfling who loves her or the people who need her.

Fans of Grace Draven, Ruby Dixon, and SJM will love this fluffy, steamy monster romance story! Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Book two stands on its own but will best be enjoyed after Halfling.

Cozy and Exciting

What a lovely book! The relationship development between Aislinn and Hakon was just so satisfying and beautifully written. The end to Jared was VERY satisfying and eased the anxiety from that bit of the plot. And the spice was just *chef's kiss* All in all, a very enjoyable listen - the narrators were spectacular and really brought the characters and the story to life.

Sexy AND Stong

An actual intimate and sexy fantasy romance that has a kind and compassionate male protagonist who learns and sacrifices to support his strong mate. Now that is hot!

swoony!

My favorite book in the Monstrous World series.
Full of swoony, sweet and spicy moments.

Sophie Daniels & William Macleod really do bring S.E. Wendel’s Monstrous World to life with their amazing voices.
I hope they continue to voice all of the series!
