Summary
"The perfect blend of soul-crushing angst, laugh out loud wit, and heart-melting romance.” (Helena Hunting, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author)
From number one Amazon best seller L.J. Shen comes a new, star-crossed lovers romance about loss, love, and meeting The One when you are too young to know how to keep them.
Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours.
A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.
An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.
We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.
Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.
In New York.
And he’s America’s music obsession.
The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.
The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.
Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.
But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.
I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.
I have a career I love.
A boyfriend I adore.
An apartment, a roommate, a life.
I changed. He changed, too.
But Mal kept the napkin.
Question is, will I keep my word?

What a twist at the end!!!
I finished this in just over a day. I was so hooked and couldn’t stop listening. Joe Arden does a brilliant Irish accent and narrated this book perfectly. Savannah Peachwood was fab as usual and the little cameos from Shane East and Muffy Newton were perfect.
The story was a stroke of genius!! It was such a beautiful and heartfelt story that made you want to keep listening. I couldn’t fault this book in any way. For me, it was perfect, absolutely perfect. There is a huge plot twist at the end that you do not see coming but once it is revealed you then realise that the twist was apparent through out the whole story.
Pure genius from LJ Shen. She can not write anything other than pure magical and stunning stories. I loved everything about this book.

😍
I’ve listened to a lot of L.J. Shan’s books and have enjoyed them all, but I can say hands down that, so far at least, this is by far my absolute favourite!
I’m also curious to know more about Summer and to see if she meets her Richard Gere :)

Good story awful accents by female narrator
This was a great story and the female narrator is fine when speaking in her American accent but OMG her Irish accent was atrocious as was her British accent. Unfortunately when she was narrating it took away from the story. The male narrator however was great and it was so nice to hear his proper Irish accent.

Good overall
Didn’t expect it to be as erotic as it was! Liked it but found some of the accents absolutely awful. Also found it annoying how much the main character was continually being “shattered”.

A contemporary romance with a twist
This was such an unexpected story from Shen. It felt fresh and quirky, and was so funny and snarky in places. There were some really standout monologues from the many different perspectives within this story. It was just a delight.
Mal and Rory were the kismet star-crossed lovers who were torn apart by multiply different lies and multiple layers of mistruths. This book had passion, and angst, wit, and heartache, but it was never dull, was continuously unexpected, and it really was fun. It is definitely worth immersing yourself in this unconventional romantic experience LJ Shen has created.
I listened to the book on audible and thought it was amazing. The four narrators really added alot to the charm and atmosphere of the story, and definitely brought the novel to life for me.
