Book 2. The last one ended with him marrying a princess and becoming king. Now we fast forward a bit. They have an heir, they have grown apart a bit. The Church is still trying to take over the world. Stupid Church. And someone from Kell´s past asks for help.
One part of the story is about Kell in a strange land plagued by monsters. He truly has moved from coward to hero in this one.
The second part is about his wife at home and her trying to deal with that damned Church. A war is coming.
I am just gonna make it short. I enjoyed it. It felt light in its style even if it was about monsters, war and people dying.
The story of Kell Kressia continues in Book II of the gripping fantasy duology. Kell, two time saviour of the Five Kingdoms, is now the King of Algany. He has fame, power, respect, and has never been more miserable...
Bound, by duty and responsibility, Kell is King only in name. Trapped in a loveless marriage, he leaves affairs of state to his wife, Sigrid. When his old friend, Willow, turns up asking him to go on a journey to her homeland he can't wait to leave.
The Malice, a malevolent poison that alters everything it infects, runs rampant across Willow's homeland. Desperate to find a cure her cousin, Ravvi, is willing to try a dark ritual which could damn her people forever. Journeying to a distant land, Kell and his companions must stop Ravvi before it's too late. While Kell is away Reverend Mother Britak's plans come to a head. Queen Sigrid must find a way to protect her family and her nation, but against such a ruthless opponent, something has to give...

So I listened to this cos my audio site told me that a certain narrator I like was narrating, well that was not the case. Hey, audible said the same now..weird. But I am glad I picked it anyway. Because I did like book 1.
In this one we have Bobbi who is a wedding planner etc. She truly dislikes a certain Benjamin after he said all the wrong things at a certain time. She is not looking for love, she is just trying to put together the best wedding ever for her bestie.
Benjamin is not looking for love either. He is busy with his restaurant, and works too much.
But this dang wedding keeps putting them together. Someone is also trying to sabotage the wedding.
They were fun together. When they finally got over their hostility towards each other. But they have some stuff to work through.
And the aunties are back! Gotta love the aunties.
Soneela is awesome, I always loves her narration. If it is romance, or fantasy, she is great at it.
The male narrator was new to me but he did well with his chapters.
Bobbi Kaur is determined to plan a celebration to remember for her best friend’s wedding. But she has two problems that are getting in her way:
1. The egotistical, and irritatingly sexy, chef Benjamin “Bunty” Padda is supposed to help her with the menu since he’s the groom’s best friend, and
2. Someone is trying to sabotage the wedding.
With aspirations of taking over her family’s event planning business, Bobbi knows that one misstep in managing the Kareena Mann and Prem Verma (#Vermann) party, along with the other weddings on her plate, will only give her uncle another reason not to promote her. That means Kareena’s big day and Bobbi's future career are on the line.
Bunty will do anything for his best friend, even though he has his hands full in finding a new location for his next restaurant while also playing mediator between his brother and father, the celebrated Naan King. When Prem asks Bunty to help with the wedding menu, he agrees, especially since it puts him in close proximity to the delicious Bobbi Kaur. When a mystery shaadi saboteur starts leaving threatening notes, and cancelling cake orders, Bunty and Bobbi have no choice but to call a truce and face the volatile attraction they have for each other.
Through masquerade fundraisers and a joint bachelor-bachelorette trip to Vegas, this chef and wedding planner explore their growing connection all while trying to plan a wedding at Messina Vineyards in a time crunch. But once the shaadi saboteur is caught and the wedding is over, will their love story have a happily ever after?
With the return of the meddling aunties (who are scary good at finding information) and a lot of hilarity and hijinks, Bobbi and Bunty’s romance is an event you don’t want to miss.

Thrillers. Sure they can be good, but for the most they are not really for me. The same goes for crime, not for me, if not historical or more character driven
