About this listen

Confined to a London penthouse his whole life, hardly anybody knows that happy-go-lucky Raphie d’Oro is a prince in exile. Not even his grumpy new bodyguard, Griff Thompson. But when assassins strike, Raphie is forced to flee out into a strange new world with his crush on Griff growing. It’s a race against time to get Raphie to his European home country, so he can claim the throne and save his life.

Griff has to remain professional, especially when he discovers Raphie is a real-life prince, but he’s increasingly drawn to the beautiful Raphie and his mesmerizing long hair. There are only so many beds they can share before the pull between them becomes impossible to ignore.

But they’re living in a fantasy. Raphie is going to be a king, and Griff is almost twice his age and going nowhere. Griff knows they have no future together, no matter what Raphie insists. However, Griff also knows he’ll do anything to protect Raphie from harm, and that includes not breaking his heart. Can he really do his duty and walk away, or will true love conquer all?

Hair Out of Place is a steamy, stand-alone MM romance novel featuring a fierce feline companion, a lot of mouthwatering food, even more mouthwatering snuggles, a makeover for a royal ball to remember, and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliff-hanger.

I found this to be a very enjoyable reimagining of Rapunzel. Full of excitement and adventure and so very up to date.
Narrator Kieron Flitton formed the story so well giving everyone such distinct characters. I especially liked the comic assassins.

As one of my favorite writers, I have read every single one of her books. Now this book resembled the classic tale of Rapunzel but with a MM twist ambiance in modern times. It has cute and endearing characters, a sassy cat with a fantastic name, a captivating plot full of danger and action, and it is simply one of the best and more brilliant retellings of this fairytale. The story made me cry in some parts, sigh in others but in general enjoyed a lot every situation e interaction happening in the book especially the apparition of 2 surprise guests at the end of the book. Griffin protectiveness and Raphie's innocence were simply the cherry on top. A masterpiece like the ones Ms Juliet has us used to. Of course, this book needed also a great narrator and Mr Flitton was up to the job. I loved his smooth voice, amazing charism, and the way he developed every character he read getting us close to their emotions. A very sweet love story, performed beautifully. Wondeful combination!

A very witty twist in the classic fairytale!

I enjoyed this book immensely, the story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. This is my first Helen Juliet book, I enjoyed her writing style and the the characters and storylines she created. I love how she put her own spin on the classic fairytale Rapunzel, it is imaginative and original. I adored the two lead characters, Griff Thompson and Raphael “Raphie” d’Oro, they were easy to relate to and connect with. While some of the characters and storylines were over the top at time I felt it added to the charm of the story and made it seem more of a modern day fairytale. Griff work in security and is hired to be Raphael’s new body guard, his first day on the job turns in to a whirlwind of activity and action. His client is threatened and he is forced into protective mode even before he is properly informed of details and what the job entails. It does not take long to figure out he is in way over his head. Raphie, has lived a life in seclusion seeing only his mother and staff, but he spent his whole life preparing for the day he would have to leave. But he soon learns learning remotely is not a substation for what it is like in real life. Griff turns out to be the perfect man for the job and maybe even for him. Not only did these two instantly bond but Griff was patient with Raphie, he fought off his attraction because he knew nothing could happen other then safely getting him to Campulan so he could claim his rightful place on the throne. I love dhow everything played out in this book, the story is both beautifully and cleverly plotted, there was plenty of drama, action, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, some humor, heartfelt and emotional moments and a wonderful romance with some hot sexy times. Shout out to Sparrow, Raphie’s side kick who accompanied him on his journey. Helen Juliet, thank you for the fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Kieran Flitton is a talented narrator and voice artist. He did a great job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own distinct voice and personality, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the fabulous listen🎧

Thank you #GRR

In this super fun modern reimagining of the Rapunzel story, beautiful Raphie, with his requisite long blond tresses, lives in a London high-rise with his mother and a precocious cat. Griff is a new bodyguard who comes to join the protection detail on a day when all hell breaks loose, and Raphie and Griff must flee on a road trip to the principality of Campanula, where Raphie must claim his birthright as monarch. I enjoyed this opposites-attracting, forced proximity story very much… A bit older and more experienced, Griff tries to resist the attraction to Raphie, but it’s obvious from the start what an impossibility that would be. There is not a dull moment in this fast-paced, fun tale with lots of heat and overflowing with feels, and the top-notch narration by Kieran Flitton brings these characters to life in the best way. His voice and characterizations never disappoint, nor does Ms Juliet’s storytelling. I loved it.

MM riff on Rapunzel & bodyguard is hot and sweet!

A M/M contemporary retelling of the classic fairytale Rapunzel. Raphael d"Oro had lived virtually all of his twenty-one years in near seclusion for his own protection. On the day his new bodyguard Griff Thompson starts work everything changes in a dramatic and terrifying fashion! Griff must keep Raphael safe!
Kieran Flitton did a truly fantastic job narrating the story. I loved every second of this story.
