The Regent's Gamble

A Spellbound Consortium, Book 1

By: A. Payne, N.D. Taylor

Narrated by: Will M. Watt

When wizard Addison Rhydderch goes out on a New Year's Eve date, he doesn't expect to end the night saving Manhattan from the undead. Afterward, he's tasked with the duties of Regent - protector of the fragile balance between the mundane and supernatural realms. The job is easier said than done, even with the aid of Saraia, a half-dryad who's as sultry as she is compassionate and strong. The attraction between them is immediate, powerful, and forbidden, but malevolent forces are threatening Saraia's nature spirit kin.

Boundaries are tested as the new ruler and his companions are swept into a treacherous game of loyalty and betrayal. Addison's office is hounded by the shadow of a dark magician who seemingly kills without rhyme or reason, a man who consorts with devils and always keeps one step ahead. Addison and Saraia, assisted by new allies, must face the demonic uprising while resisting the sparks flying between them.

Will Watt is delightful!

Will Watt brought this epic magical adventure to life and transported me to the world of the Spellbound Consortium. What a fantastic performance of a great story. I heartily recommend if you enjoy Urban Fantasy.

Loving the audio books now thanks to this!

Loved the narrator! He brought the story to life. Normally i don't like audio books, but he has changed my mind. The story was exactly what I expect from the authors. Always very descriptive and leaving me wanting more at the end. Finally have been able to finish this audio book after everything that has went on. Love this series!

Wow

I picked this title out, because the blurb looked interesting. I hate to admit that it sat in my kindle for weeks.

But when I finally got around to listening, I was in love. From the opening scene, I was on the edge of my seat. Kudos to the authors for keeping the action so high, without being redundant.

The various romances are uber sexy and definitely not Harlequin. Even the bad guys are sexy.

But the best part was the narration. Will M. Watt can read to me anytime. He is simply brilliant.

Fantastic Fantasy

I loved this book! The storyline was very involved with many characters but easy to follow and so enjoyable it's hard to put down. Will M Watt does a fantastically superb job giving life to each character with their own voices and personalities. I very highly recommended thus book.

Mediocre romance novel

Any additional comments?

I was hoping for something like Dresden files or Iron druid, but this is a romance novel with only a thin veneer of plot, and is not very well written.
