About this listen

At first glance I probably seem like any good-looking guy in their late twenties. I have an obscene amount of confidence, a tattooed body sculpted by the Nordic gods, and I love the ladies as much as they love me. If I'm not base jumping or car racing, I'm chasing other devious thrills with the woman of the week. And that's fine if you're the average single guy.

But I'm not the average single guy. I'm Crown Prince Magnus of Norway, and my latest scandal just landed my entire royal family in hot water. Now the only way the monarchy can save face is for me to smarten up - publicly. If I don't, I'll no longer be heir apparent to the throne. So it's either I abdicate my future role as King or...I get married. To a blue-blooded stranger.

Enter Princess Isabella of the tiny country of Liechtenstein. Quiet, intelligent, and uniquely beautiful, Ella doesn't like this arrangement any more than I do, and she's not afraid to show it. She says I'm a womanizer, that I don't take anything seriously, that my ego should be taken down a few pegs, and I think she aims to make me miserable for the rest of my life.

But even as our arranged marriage becomes a war of wit and words, I'm determined to break through Ella's prim and proper façade to find the wild, sexual, and risk-taking woman underneath. I want to uncover the Queen inside her. The only question is-will she let me?

Contains mature themes.

I love Magnus. He is cheeky and naughty, a typical womaniser who gets reformed by the love of a good woman Ella. Their relationship is fiery and passionate and leaves the listener wanting more. The narration was good bringing these two characters to life.

Love it

Easy sweet listen with no surprises. Male actor was amazing and really translated the humour of the novel. The female actress mostly sounded robotic and when it came to her narrating the MMC, made him sound like a petulant child- at odds with how the male actor voice him.

Sweet but female actress was terrible

It's quite a sweet, albeit predictable, story. The male narration is great, but the female narration sounds like AI, and the female narration of the male character sounds like every animated kid's show teenage boy, which was equally offputting. She sounds so much like an AI voice that I'm not entirely convinced it isn't a test to see if listeners can tell the difference!

Sweet story, female narration is off

Although predictable still, enjoyed this royally sweet enemies to lovers arranged marriage love story with a bit of spice. Nice performance by Stephanie Wyles and Jeremy York.

Cute and Easy listen

I've been enjoying many of these light romance stories and this one was just as lovely. My only whinge on all of these books is that the male needs to read ALL male parts and the female all female parts. I love listening to Jeremy York but when the female then starts trying to do the male voice it just kills the vibe.

Need to rethink the way these books are read

Good narration and an easy listen. Possibly a little rushed at the end. A little more enemy time could have been utilised for build-up, but it's still a good read.

Enjoyable read

I liked the neurodivergence representation. Magnus's relationship with his father was touching. I don't know how I feel bout his mother, but the one sister we saw was good too.
I loved Jane. I'd like to be her when I grow up please.
Ella was good. She held her own when she had to. But my heart broke for her with the way she is treated by her family.
Happy, satisfying ending.

This was a fun book.

The story was cute, although both MCs annoyed me at times. All three performance stars are for the male narrator, because the female narration was really hard to listen to. It sounded like AI, and I’ve opted not to listen to the next book in the series because it has the same female narrator.

Cute Story
