Master Nicolo: A Romantasy

By: J.R. Rain, H.P. Mallory

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They sent her to assassinate him; they never expected her to fall for him.

Charlotte is a master assassin trained in poisons, seduction, and the art of the kill. Her target is Master Nicolo: the prince’s closest friend, the kingdom’s fiercest protector, and the most feared man in the castle. Known as The Unbreakable, he’s cunning, deadly, and impossible to get close to.

Disguised as a humble maid, Charlotte infiltrates the royal stronghold of Woodfall Gath, a sprawling fortress of intrigue, decadence, and danger. But Nicolo isn’t some spoiled courtier. He’s a peasant-born warrior with violet eyes that see through every lie. And he has secrets of his own, secrets that could shake the kingdom to its foundations.

As Charlotte’s mission drags on, their battles of will turn into something far more dangerous: desire. She knows she should stay focused. That she can’t afford to feel anything for a man she’s sworn to kill. But the more she learns about Nicolo—his loyalty, his wounds, his hidden honor—the harder it is to finish the job.

When enemies close in and assassination plots unravel, Charlotte will have to choose: complete her mission… or risk everything for the man she was sent to destroy.

Master Nicolo is a sweeping romantic fantasy of assassins and intrigue, honor and betrayal, and a love that cuts deeper than any blade. Perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash, Throne of Glass, and The Shadows Between Us.

Loved it.

This was so enjoyable. It didn’t drag things out or end with a cliffhanger. One of my favorite books i’ve listened to

Good Story

Story was good, but the virtual voice cutoff at times or made strange noises when words were supposed to be spoken.

Poor AI audio

The AI audio was flat and toneless. there were no inflections or any slight changes for different characters. otherwise, the story itself was decent.
