Story
Jennie Jensen is touring Europe, already living her dream, when Prince Hugh of Wales—the future King of England—appears at a gig and requests his favorite song. He’s already smitten, and soon so is she. After a secretive, whirlwind romance, Hugh proposes, and when Jennie accepts, her world changes overnight. She’s still learning to navigate the minefield of constant scrutiny, barbed social interactions, and royal protocol (there are rules about pantyhose), as she learns that not everyone in England is excited about the prospect of an American princess.

I don’t know about anybody else, but it was way too close to sounding like the real royal family.

Offputting narrator

I really enjoyed the story and if it had been a different narrator, I probably would’ve given it a five for overall.

Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

Narrator great, but…
Reviewed: 02-17-24
The narrator has a great voice and expression. However, he would wait much too long between sentences or paragraphs, so it feels like the audiobook has stopped. Other than that,everything else was good.

This was a great audiobook and I listen to at least two a week. It was worth every bit of my credit. Will see if the author has any more because I am hooked.

I rarely write a review, but I had to on this one because it was so great. I felt connected to a lot of the characters by the way the author explained their plate. I have a girlfriend who lost her son. She got through it through God and support groups just like the story. Enjoy!
