About this listen

A desperate mother. A dubious escort. And a deranged author who won’t leave them alone. Caroline Lindley is determined that her new romance novel will be her best one yet. Fantasy! Formal gowns! Fencing! And, of course, a twentysomething heroine to star in an enemies-to-lovers plot with all of Caroline’s favourite tropes.

But Lady Rosamund Hawkhurst is a thirty-six-year-old widow with two children, her sole focus is facilitating a peace treaty between her adopted nation and her homeland, and she flatly refuses to take the correct approach to there being only one bed. What’s an author to do?

Based on her popular Fantasy Heroine YouTube Shorts series, Jill Bearup’s debut novel brings us the best of worlds both meta- and medieval-inspired. Terry Pratchett aficionados will enjoy the political intrigue paired with convivial, tongue-in-cheek satire. And then there's the slow-burn, fade-to-black romance too…

If you loved Stranger Than Fiction and The Princess Bride, you will soon find yourself cheering on enemies-to-BFFs Rosamund and Caroline as together they learn what it means to be the hero of your own story.

has anyone seen the Watsons? a play where the playwright talks to the characters, this takes it to a whole new level. Brilliant

An amusing and fast paced romantic fantasy adventure with a twist - we follow both the fantasy adventure, the author’s struggle with the story and the author’s private life. If you follow Jill Bearup’s social media clips you are familiar with the concept.

Describing it makes it sound bonkers, but the end result is an engaging and sweet story.

The fantasy story has several instances of anachronistic similes, which I usually heartily dislike - but I find myself more tolerant than usual since the fantasy story runs parallel with the contemporary one.

Very nicely read by the author.

Charming and fast paced with a twist

Came across the author with her new online space series (look it up if you haven’t already!) and wanted to give this a go. Highly entertaining, witty and intelligent characters. I also really like the author’s voice which is a big plus. Will absolutely be something I listen to again. So glad it made it to audio book. 5 stars

Wonderfully entertaining!

I think Jill came across really well in this audiobook, it felt almost like a DnD narration, characters with different accents, tones and cadence. Plot twists, 4th wall breaking and great, fun, refreshing storytelling!

I know the author didn’t want to make a second book but I’m purposefully withholding from watch the new sci-fi series in the hopes another book is written for that title too! I’m glad the story was wrapped up with the characters whilst leaving the story with Caroline nice and open - brilliant read but an even better listen! Great work!

Great narration and drama
