Story
For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger.

Story
Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. By contrast, her sister Ami is an eternal champion...she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew of contests. Unfortunately for Olive, the only thing worse than constant bad luck is having to spend the wedding day with the best man (and her nemesis), Ethan Thomas.

Story
Katie Collins has barely ever left her tiny Irish village of Ennisbawn. Why would she? With its tightknit community, friendly local pub, surrounded by glistening lakes and perfectly mysterious forests, it’s a place of peaceful beauty. Or it was peaceful. Until Callum Dempsey turned up. Part of a hotshot (and, Katie has to admit, hot is annoyingly apt for him...) development team with zero eye for beauty or charm, he’s not only building a hideous hotel just outside the village, he’s also just announced a plan to knock down Ennisbawn’s only remaining pub.

Story
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

Publisher's Summary
She could never have guessed what the year would hold…
Gazing up at the dreaming spires of Oxford, American student Ella Duran can’t believe it: she has finally arrived at Oxford University.
A new life starts, and not even Ella’s handsome lecturer Jamie Davenport can distract her from her classes. But, as the term goes on, Ella can’t deny the growing attraction between them – an attraction that soon turns to love.
And when Ella learns of Jamie’s life-changing secret, their relationship becomes deeper than Ella could have ever anticipated.
As Ella’s Oxford year draws to a close, she must decide whether the dreams she arrived with are the same ones with which she will leave…

I didn’t want it to end
I normally pause before purchasing a book narrated by the author but this was not the case with this book. Julius Whelan had crafted a great story creating empathy and delight. The language is a joy and her narration as always was impeccable.

Powerful and evocative
A powerful and evocative tale that I didn’t expect. I too have been on Ella’s journey and her story brought all those emotions —- good and not so good to the fore.
Thank you Julia Whelan for your amazing book.

Captivating Read
Loved the story, the characters.
I listened to this one in a day! I just couldn’t stop!
It just captivated me!
Made me laugh out loud in parts, made my heart hurt in other parts. Just a really great story from an amazing story teller.
Julia Whelan is just the best narrator and also an amazing author! Can’t wait to read/listen more of her books.

You will not regret choosing this one!
Brilliant narrator AND a brilliant author? Doesn’t get better than that. The wealth of knowledge that she has gained from such an extensive amount of narration definitely must play an advantageous role in her writing but her writing in absolutely a skill of her own.

Amazing narration, needs a better editor
Despite the unpromising title, this is not a memoir, it's fiction. Beautifully told by Julia Whelan, who masters all accents.

Hard to get past contrived accents.
Ultimately this is let down my the pompous accents and the portrayal of infatuation under the guise of true love .
Cliche , cliche. Highly ambitious American and Oxford professor in hate at first sight followed by can’t live without you in a matter of months. American ditches everything for Oxford professor she has known in the blink of an eye.
Did like the sass and humour of the main character -excellent one liners. However , I could not stand the arrogance of the upper class English accents. And ultimately the storyline is a tad twee.
Privileged misunderstood Englishman championing societies underdogs while maintaining his affluent lifestyle is beyond irritating.
