Description

Auralia thought her biggest mistake was falling in love with the wrong fae twelve years ago. Until she fell in love with an Unseelie she can never be with.

Anyone who witnesses the glares and harsh words between Auralia and Donovan believe they hate each other. But under all that annoyance is a passion they can’t quench.

There's no future for them, though. Out of deceit, she’s tied to the worst fae in the realm. And when her estranged husband tells her it’s time to return to him, she’s forced to say goodbye to her dream life in the Unseelie Royal Court and to Donovan. At least they’ll never discover her unforgivable secret.

However, Donovan has a different idea of how their parting is going to go—or how it will never go, because he’s not giving up his broody Unseelie. Not ever. Even if he has to steal her.

A Note From the Publisher

Stealing the Bogeyman's Bride is a dark and very spicy short story inspired from fae folklore and was first published as a draft on Kindle Vella. Some tropes include unrequited love, rivals to lovers, damsel in distress, good guy gone bad for her, fairy heat, and no one touches her but me.

It is second in the Faetales series but is easily read as a standalone. Book one is The Springfest Sprint and has different main characters.

Please check trigger warnings on the introduction page, or skip it if you dislike trigger spoilers.

4/5 Spice

For fantasy-lovers looking for a steamy and enchanting evening of reading!

This lovely (and spicy) novella was such a joy to read! It was, as advertised, a fantastic one-night read for me.

Despite it's very manageable length, there was depth to the world, vivd imagery, and a cast of characters that I knew quite well by the end of the story.

Donovan was top tier book boyfriend material, and Auralia was sassy, competent, and relatable. The spice was also *chefs kiss*.

I really can't say enough good things; I'd much rather spend an evening with these characters than watching a movie, that's for sure!

After having read the first fae novellette I had no idea Donovan and Auralia's story could be so beautifully complicated. This is just a novella but first of all it's beautifully written, the plot was unexpected in its complexity but one that I have enjoyed very much.

I got incredibily attached to these characters in such a few seconds that it's going to be difficult to wait for book 3. These characters are loyal to a fault, they are supportive and friendships and relationships are an important aspect of this novelette.

Donovan's possessiveness was a turn on and Auralia's apparent detachment to it was so good that anybody fell for it. Everything she did and endured to protect her friends and people she loved was heartbreaking. And the way the story turned out really was chef's kiss!

The cover image caught my eye and when I saw the title, I knew I needed to read this. This is the 2nd in the series, which I didn't catch before starting it. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a recap of sorts at the beginning. Very helpful! This story focuses on Auralia and Donovan's perspectives. Aurelia is strong, defiant, hostile and has a jealous streak. Donovan is strong, flirtatious, stubborn and commanding. The two of them together are fire. I loved the characters, their interactions, the magic, and the different factions within this world. I wish the story was longer, I didn't want it to end. I would love to read more stories from this author.
