About this listen

Fiona Turner wonders which challenge will be the death of her: the renovation of a massive, crumbling, centuries-old English castle to make it fit for the King and Queen of England, or turning an American into a proper English duchess.

As Princess Beryl's lady-in-waiting, Fiona's duties are usually limited to the tedium and tradition of royal functions. However, in preparation to host the king and queen's anniversary party, Princess Beryl has tasked Fiona to spearhead the renovation of a neglected but beautiful estate called Alabarden Park. The castle's latest young duchess, Alice Stewart, has agreed to the renovation and hosting the party, on the condition Fiona also help her manage the estate while she gets her bearings with a new peerage and sprawling inheritance. There is only one problem.

The new duchess is American. A reckless, cheerful, ebullient American.

Fiona's introversion and devotion to tradition has met its match against Alice's relentless effervescence and unorthodox ideas—but the constant friction creates an undeniable heat between them. When tragedy strikes, Fiona must choose between the royal duties close to her heart, or the duty she has to follow her heart.

I dont often listen to books without doing a preview first, just to see if I can stand the narrator. For some reason I bought this without doing the preview. I think if I’d done the preview I wouldn’t have bought it and in the end I would have missed out on a wonderful story, despite the performance.

The story is very well written and the characters fleshed out nicely. I absolutely love Alice, possibly the most wholesome and romantic character I’ve ever read. The sex scenes (they do love a strap on!) are pretty hot as well.

The reason I may not have actually purchased this title if I’d done the preview is the way the narrator handles the British accent. It has to be the worst British accent I’ve ever heard! At the start I couldn’t even work out what nationality Jen Jayden was trying to do, it’s laughably bad.

I don’t usually say bad things about the narrator, it’s their lively hood I am commenting on and as I say, I don’t usually listen to a book with poor narration so I never really review it but this does need to be highlighted. The rest of the narration is good, even the American southern accent is well done but “blimey” the British one is bad!!!

Steamy and wholesome
