Summary
British bad boy Sterling Quinn needs a wife. After his great-grandfather, the former prince something or another, passes and leaves him millions, he's shocked to discover the massive inheritance has a clause - he needs to clean up his image and be married in order to receive his millions.
When word gets out that this hottie has royal blood running through his veins, and is on the prowl for Mrs. Right, crazy ex-girlfriends, school-yard crushes, and thousands of other hopeful women flock to his doorstep.
What he needs is a manager to help him sort through the clutter.
Enter Camryn Palmer, PR executive. Camryn has had a front row seat to her friend Sterling's revolving-door of a love-life for years. But when she's hired to clean up his image and manage the hordes of women cruising through his bedroom door, she's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Literally.
Yes, she has secret fantasies about being the one to keep his bed warm - what woman doesn't? He's sinfully attractive, and she wants to kiss that cocky English accent right off his lips, but she's got a job to do. She's a professional through and through, and besides, an arranged marriage could never be a happy one. Right?

Terrible English accent
I couldn’t even finish this book. The accents were terrible. Using words that we English people don’t even use.

Dreadful attempt at upper class English accent
This book was very similar to an LJ Shen book I’ve just finished 🤔
The story was quite good and the female character was great and well narrated by Ava Erickson, who BTW, has a lovely voice for these books. Although her attempt at the man’s voice went suspiciously cockney?? a la Dick Van Dyke in the original Mary Poppins……WHAT IS WITH THAT YOU AMERICAN NARRATORS??? NOT EVERYONE IN THE UK IS REALLY A COCKNEY!!! 😡
John Lane’s absolutely dire attempt at upper class and English was embarrassingly inconsistent at best. Is he actually from Uk? Some of his pronunciation had a northern lilt?? He also veered into a slight cockney accent at times too.
I fully blame the writer and anyone who said his accent was ok….IT SO ISN’T…..are you deaf???
I also felt the writer tried to cram in as many words she thinks British people use, to the point of ridiculousness. It sounds stupid and is sooooo annoying JUST STOP IT!!! The huge inconsistency in words used by upper class people was truly laughable. No one posh calls people ‘love’ in fact it is quite the opposite and a term of endearment more northern in its origins and northern people are generally friendlier.
The most ridiculously funny part was in the first 5 minutes, when the male character said
“ I grew up in England, and my British accent is like lube. It makes girls wet instantly.” Er that would be because they’ve just pissed their pants laughing at your terrible accent! 😂
I know Americans are very partial to British accents, but surely not if they sound like this guy!!! He must have based it on Toast of London 😂😂😂…..Google if you don’t get the reference.
A mediocre book, made worse by stupidity!

nope
DNF
I just couldn't listen to the male narrator any longer , his British accent was horrendous with half the word being mispronounced or over pronounced. Why do all Americans think we speak with a silver spoon in our mouths?
Stirling's dialogue was just as cringey to listen to, too. Please don't assume that what you hear on TV is how British people actually speak and please, please get a real life British person so read the book before publishing it so they can point out any daft stereotypes .

Great steam…
Excellent attempt at a British accent. But let’s face it, we don’t listen to this stuff for total reality. Rather for a bit of fun and one has to suspend disbelief anyway for the storyline. Still, it was cute and ticked all the boxes. John Lane has a sexy voice and the steamy parts were very well written!

Great story
I really enjoyed the story and the steamy parts. The narration was good but I prefer an American accent even though I am English.

Cringy.
Story was nothing special, but ok.
The male narration was awful. Very unrealistic British accent. Not even very posh British people speak like this. I had to fast forward a couple of the male narrated parts because they were so incredibly cringy.

Sterling's story
The story lacked a bit for me. It wasn't as good as the more in depth three part story where Sterling is first introduced. I still enjoyed it, but would have preferred the story to be more detailed. It was very crude in places, which I found to be somewhat overboard. The female narrator was great as usual. 5☆. As for the male narrator, whilst I like the way he told the story the accent wasn't right. It was somewhat difficult to understand in places with strange pronunciation. 3☆. I would still recommend listening or reading though.
