The story is single perspective, so the narrator voices every character, and her attempt at European accents left a little to be desired. I enjoyed the female narrator’s voice, which made this an easy and relaxing three-hour listen. So let’s skip right to some notes on the audiobook. Normally, I’d give a few details about the storyline, but the blurb tells you everything there is to know. It just didn’t come together in a satisfying way. It didn’t work for me on any level, which is unfortunate because the foundation of a light and fun royal romance is here – a handsome stranger, a bit of miscommunication, some chemistry. The romance itself flies by, but the overall story drags. I don’t expect a ton of depth in a novella, but this was SUPER cliché and not executed very well. I didn’t like either of them, and their love story was difficult to root for. And neither character is likable – the heroine acts like a moody teenager, and the hero’s weak excuses don’t hold up under scrutiny. First, the ENTIRE plot is described in the blurb every part of the book is spoiled before you even begin. I read McKinlay’s Wait For It last year and loved it – her layered, complex writing resonated with me, so I was excited to read more from her.
