Praise for this book
I can hardly imagine this book is a debut; it absolutely blew me away! It’s a mix between urban and high fantasy, with a hunger games vibe and a woman who never knew she was part of the supernatural world and suddenly has the power to change the fae world. I love the vibe of this book: there’s an underlying danger and our fmc has to find a way to survive in a court where the residing queen isn’t planning on giving up her power. With four very different fae men as her consorts, she has to prepare to enter the trials to decide who will be the next queen. Not an easy task for someone who didn’t even know she had magic a few days before. This first book set the scene and raised a lot of questions; I can’t wait to get my hands on book two!
This is going to be one of my new favourite books! I had such a good time reading it, it had the right amount of spice to plot ratio( and the spice that was there was🔥👌🏽🌶️) I couldn’t put it down from start to finish, I read it within a day and half! 100% recommend to read this book!
Edit to add: got to listen to the audio of this book! Makes it so much better!! The male narrator nails all the accents!!
Their Chosen by Avah Larke takes readers on a thrilling journey into the mystical realm of Avalon, where an ordinary MMA fighter, Rhowyn, is unexpectedly thrust into the role of a contender for the Queen’s crown. Rhowyn’s tough, no-nonsense personality shines through as she battles not only deadly trials but also her emotions as four captivating men vie for her attention. This “why choose” romance offers readers the excitement of multiple love interests without forcing Rhowyn to make a decision, adding to the tension and appeal.
Their Chosen has something for fans of both fantasy and romance. Larke’s debut is a strong start to the series, with multiple POVs enriching the narrative.
While this first installment sets the stage for even greater tension and romance in the upcoming books, the cliffhanger ending will leave readers desperate for the next trial. A must-read for fans of why choose romance with a strong, fierce heroine at the helm.

5 STARS EASY!!
I got the privilege of being selected to be an ARC reader for this book and oh my goodness. I cannot give enough praise for this book. It easily became one of my top five books I’ve read.
Avah has created a refreshing main female character who is strong, resourceful, and relatable. This book has incredible world building while still letting you create the image in your mind with your own spin. It’s Multi-POV and each one is done so well! You really get a feel for each character and who they are at their core as well as how they all interact with others. It’s a fun, fantastical, spicy book that will have you flipping pages well past your bedtime!
I honestly can’t say how much I enjoyed and love this book and I am so pleased I was given the opportunity to read it early because I didn’t realize how much I needed it! I relate a lot to the main characters and her struggles in the beginning of the book and seeing her strong and vigilant and so very resilient has given me more inspiration and resolve than before! What a beautiful book, and an easy read! I will recommend this highly to anyone who is drawn to it!
