About this listen

Amy Wilde is tired of the idiots her glamorous flatmate Jo keeps foisting upon her - she'd much rather be digging in the garden with her dog Badger at her side than trying to find the man of her dreams. That is, until she meets Leo Wolfsburg.

Handsome, polite and funny, Leo is everything Amy could want in a boyfriend. Best of all, the attraction seems mutual. But Leo's lifestyle is a world away from her own. Private planes, charity balls, exclusive members' clubs - Amy begins to realise that her simple existence is being turned upside down. Is that what she wants?

And just where is Leo's home country of Nirona, anyway? Is there something he isn't telling her?

Now I need to find a book that gets me engaged to the same level. Had one to follow.

Well written, loved the suspense

Totally fictitious without being ridiculous. A book about becoming a princess for grown ups - what's not to love?

Pure escapism

Really easy listen, predictable and fun. Modern day. Cinderella with a few twists and turns.l

enjoyable

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it was a lovely story to get lost in and I really warmed to the characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. I was torn between listening all in one and not wanting it to end!

Any additional comments?

I love chick lit and this was right up my street! I thought it was good fun and well written and would recommend it to anyone who wants to switch of and daydream of fairytale love stories.

Lovely easy listening that kept me hooked.

This is not a 'laugh out loud' type of book. It is a standard teen angst Lindsay Lohan type princess story and lacks the amusing lines that are in the first 'Little Lady' book.
I stopped listening to the audio half way through as I thought it was diminishing my own interpretaiton of the words.

A bit of a let down
