About this listen
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?

The narration was great, it is impossible to resist a British accent.
Good but predictable

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!
Dreadful attempt at upper class English accent
