Summary

With his heart’s desire at stake, can he resist giving Fate a little nudge?

Half-norn event planner Anders Skuldsson is under strict orders from Asgard not to meddle with Fate. But with Enchanted Occasions’ latest booking - the competition for the hand of Faerie’s one true prince - crashing around his ears, it’s really, really, really difficult to toe that particular line. So...if Andy just happens to pose as a contender for the prince? It’s an emergency, damn it. Besides, it’s only temporary, so Odin can hardly blame him. Right?

If Conall of Odstone hadn’t sworn a blood oath to protect his half-brother, Prince Reyner, he’d murder the idiot himself. Rey was supposed to be here, choosing a mate before being crowned and wed. Instead, he’s disappeared, leaving Con to impersonate him. Again.

But when Con meets Andy, his anger turns to desire...and despair. Even if Andy forgives him for pretending to be someone he’s not, how could a man as appealing and accomplished as Andy - a man who’s eligible for a prince’s hand, for pity’s sake - settle for the court outcast?

As for Andy, his burgeoning feelings for the prince are both unfortunate and hopeless because hello? Half-norn? Faerie prince? Not exactly a match made in Valhalla.

When the Faerie Queen herself hands down an ultimatum, the double deception isn’t their only obstacle. Unless Andy makes the right decision, both their fates could be sealed by...well.... Fate.

Nudging Fate is a 54,000-word paranormal rom-com featuring mistaken identity, royalty in disguise, interfering coworkers, an iron knight with a soft heart, a temperamental goblin chef, and a guaranteed HEA.

Andy is an Event planner for Enchanted Occasions. He is to see that Prince Reyner chooses a Consort, but Conall his half brother is in his place pretending to be the Prince. With mishaps, Andy is thrown in as a contender. Neither knows the other isn't who they are meant to be, they fall in love, before finding out the truth. E.J Russell's world building is fantastic. Kirk hits it out of the ball park, brilliant way to start a new series

Con has to step in for his brother, the royal prince. He has done this with magic lots of time, but this time the Faerie Queen is looking to marry the prince off. Andy, the event planner for this charade where there are consorts from ever realm, had to step in when everyone got sick. It’s a magical romance where good trumps evil and true color are shown. Andy and Con survive all, and get their happily ever after. I hadn’t read about some types of magical beings so it was fun reading that. The narration is very good. Pretty enjoyable PNR listen.

Nudging Fate is the first book in the Enchanted Occasions series, an urban paranormal series with romance and incredible world building. I’m a huge fan of E.J. Russell’s fictional worldbuilding. She does her research when it comes to legends, myths, and fairytales which she then weaves together into a fascinating “modern” world. The setting for the Enchanted Occasions series is rich with a lot of layers and depth which makes me excited to see how the world evolves.

Andy and Con were interesting characters. I especially liked Andy’s power of fate, something I’ve never seen in another book before. The romance between Andy and Con was sweet, and there were many humorous moments with mistaken identities, fussy and snobby guests, and all the shenanigans that come with a bachelor-esque style competition with magical beings. My only complaint was that the book felt too short and wished it had been a bit longer so we could enjoy more of the courting competition. However, there are more books in this universe, and I’m so excited to see what else happens.

The audiobook was well done. Kirt Graves narrated the book, and he’s just a fantastic narrator who is a master at his craft. The characters were all voiced perfectly and I loved the audio performance. I listened to this entire book in one day because it was so much fun.
