About this listen
What happens when the Prince of Wales falls in love with the prime minister?
My boring life working in an insurance call center in sunny California just took an unexpected turn. Thanks to my misbehaving relatives, I’ve leaped from obscurity to royalty as the new heir to the British throne.
But my welcome in England is about as warm as the weather. I arrive to discover a country horrified at the thought of an American version of Prince Charming and ready to revolt against the monarchy. I vow to my grandmother, the queen, that I will do everything possible to help her save the crown.
Unfortunately, royal life isn’t easy. From bewildering traditions, traitorous friends, and malevolent swans, the only thing I’m succeeding in is providing entertainment for the tabloids and social media trolls.
And then the broodingly handsome prime minister, Oliver Hartwell, bursts into my life.
With his meteoric rise from poverty to the most powerful man in the country, Oliver understands my current plight. Innocent messages of support turn into late-night chats—and unexpected feelings.
But there’s one major problem. The royal family must remain politically neutral at all times.
So how can I keep my promise to save the monarchy when I’m falling in love with the prime minister?
A forbidden romance filled with humor and drama featuring a bumbling Prince of Wales and a stern yet dashing prime minister, with a love that could transform a nation.

Open-door but not very 🌶 — actually a really nice balance
Funny but heartfelt
This is the first book I’ve tried by this author; I found it through the narrator, who I think is truly fantastic. It’s a good introduction: a fun romcom with plenty of quirky, original twists. The main characters are very likable, and you’re behind them the whole way through. I also genuinely wasn’t sure how it would resolve, which I appreciated.
There’s quite a bit in this book that reflects the current monarchy—disgraced sons and awkward interviews—though I doubt William and Starmer are who most of us will be picturing for the rest of the story.
The narrator does the American and British accents beautifully, a truly gifted voice actor.
Unlikely premis done well, with a master narrator
