About this listen
In this dangerously sexy rom-com that evokes the real-life romance between Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle, a prince who wants to live out of the spotlight falls for a daring American rapper who turns his life, and the palace, upside down.
Sexy, driven rapper Danielle “Duchess” Nelson is on the verge of signing a deal that’ll make her one of the richest women in hip hop. More importantly, it’ll grant her control over her life, something she’s craved for years. But an incident with a rising pop star has gone viral, unfairly putting her deal in jeopardy. Concerned about her image, she’s instructed to work on generating some positive publicity… or else.
A brilliant professor and reclusive royal, Prince Jameson prefers life out of the spotlight, only leaving his ivory tower to attend weddings or funerals. But with the Queen’s children involved in one scandal after another, and Parliament questioning the viability of the monarchy, the Queen is desperate. In a quest for good press, she puts Jameson in charge of a tribute concert in her late husband’s honor. Out of his depth, and resentful of being called to service, he takes the advice of a student. After all, what’s more appropriate for a royal concert than a performer named “Duchess”?
Too late, Jameson discovers the American rapper is popular, sexy, raunchy and not what the Queen wanted, although he’s having an entirely different reaction. Dani knows this is the good exposure she needs to cement her deal and it doesn't hurt that the royal running things is fine as hell. Thrown together, they give in to the explosive attraction flaring between them. But as the glare of the limelight intensifies and outside forces try to interfere, will the Prince and Duchess be a fairy tale romance for the ages or a disaster of palatial proportions?

Hi, I'm Jordyn. I flew from New York to Culver City, CA to interview for the job of a lifetime. When I walked into The Bookstore, I only wanted a steamy romance or two to help pass the time before my big meeting. I walked out with a cinnamon roll who was more funny and charming than all of my favorite book boyfriends combined. Mike was irresistible, and the time we spent together was more fun than I've had in a long time. But I'm smart enough to know if something feels to good too be true, it probably is. I mean, happily ever afters are just for fairy tales and romance novels...right?

Cadence "Cady" Bloomquist knows two things for sure: First, shelving books at her shop, Nevermore Bookstore, totally counts as cardio. Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until the calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" last for hours, and become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person?

One of the cardinal rules of matchmaking I was positive I'd never break. That is until Nathan Wilder walked into Love Moore Matchmaking Agency, needing my help to find him the one. A tall order to ask since he was the most hated man in the NHL. Broody. Crude. Abrasive. The man was a six-foot-three walking red flag. Right off the bat, every fiber of my being told me he'd be trouble. He wasn't looking for love. It was all a PR stunt to clean up his image so he could keep playing for the Boston Guardians. But there was something in his sad, soulful eyes that just pulled me in.

Mind Blown.
After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to purchase this book. And I'm glad that I did. Wesleigh is one of my favorite narrators, so I expected her to to do a great job. It took me a while to warn up to Anthony, but he did an great job as well. This was a great storyline with 2 people from different worlds but yet similar. The chemistry between these two were phenomenal. Jameson is such the gentleman. Only thing I did not like was that ending could have been a little bit better tho. But I'm looking forward to reading more of Tracey's books.

Taken from today’s headlines
If you pay attention to today’s news can’t say the storyline was original. It has its moments but felt like I was reading a lot of entertainment news all put together to create a plot. A little of this, a little of that. Enjoyed the philosophy though. We’re left up in the air as to how things work out for the two lovers and their futures if any. Not much satisfaction there. The Male narrator was good but needed to stay away from trying to do Dani’s character. Wesleigh Siobhan good as always.

Enjoyable
This is a new author to me, and I did enjoy this book. It has taken me a while to listen or read this book as I depriortized it on my reader list in part due to the mixed reviews. After reading and listening to this story, I'm a bit more surprised with the low ratings. I would recommend this series. I'm about to read the next one.

Unexpected chemistry.
Dani a.k.a. Duchess, an American rapper needed a quiet time break from her hectic public life as a rapper before doing a gig in England to honor a favorite charity of the deceased Prince John. To keep her privacy, and not to overshadow the reason for the royal event, she ended up on the royal property of Prince Jameson who immediately did not know how to react to Duchess. The chemistry was strong for both Dani and Prince Jameson, the grandson of the queen. Now they had to hide their relationship from the queen and the royal family. WELL, you know how the story goes, "best-laid plans of mice and men", it was the worst secret kept ever. Dani, was trying to keep her best to keep any scandal out of the press despite her tiff with another rapper that was threatening to derail a deal for her cosmetics company Mela-skin. Dani, being the boss beotch that she is, didn't cotton to being told what to do by the royals and let them know she was not one of their subjects and didn't have to adhere to their edicts. Jameson finally grew a pair because his life without Dani was something he didn't want to do.
I liked how Dani was her own person and stayed true to herself. I also like how Jameson also stayed true to himself and did only what was necessary as a royal but not a working royal. This story was well plotted and the drama was unfolded in a timely manner.

Great story
Great story! I loved the characters. The only problem I had with it was the the male narrator female voice. It was a bit annoying, but after a while I got used to it. As well as in the beginning it was very much third person a lot so I got confused on what was going on.

Queen of Royals!!
The love I have for this book is unreal!! Tracey Livesay made me fall in love with royals and I always swore that was a hard pass for me. Not anymore! Jameson and Duchess gave me so much and I haven't even gotten to book two yet.
Wesleigh Siobhan and Antony Ferguson carried me through this narration. I've been a fan of Wesleigh for years because she never fails to invoke feelings, I never thought possible. Antony however is a new to me narrator and one I can't wait to hear more from. He definitely had the posh and royal vibes down when it comes to being an heir of the throne.
As for the story, sweet heat with an added dose of I can do it by myself but that doesn't mean I want to. Our Duchess AKA Dani is a strong woman who doesn't need anyone to take care of her. Having been taking care of herself since she was 14, she knows what she has to do for her and hers.
Enter, Jameson. The royal with an attitude. Not that I can blame him. Folks, he doesn't want this life. He loves his job as a professor and doesn't want to be a spectacle for people to look at any more than he wants the crown to dictate his life.
When these two and their worlds collide, it is instant magic and madness. They've both got this idea of what the other should be and yet they couldn't be more wrong. As the lines between them thin and they get closer you have the makings of what could be a fairytale. That is until the monarchy gets their grubby hands on them.
Livesay wrote a story unlike anything I've read before. It wasn't all at once nor was it a slow burn. There was a delicate balance here as the rapper fell in love with the royal.

Narrators good enough; story memorable, but ...
★★★ 1/2
So, if you like royal romance and you can erase your preset memory of who’s who in the British Royalty, Inc., then you may like this one.
The British Royal family has all new names, the names aren’t very British either. That took some seconds to get over, but the scandal, history of abdication, British Royal men running off with unsuitables or doing unsuitable deeds are all loosely replicated. Plus the queen is in charge, as the last “old world” royal; her husband has passed, his memory being a driving force in this novel.
Through all of that, Prince Jameson, the hero of this story, has escaped the terrible spotlight left by his father and the scandals that circle his aunts and uncles, and we meet him as a philosophy professor in Birmingham.
The British Royalty is now suffering the always present threat of “abolish the monarchy” and the need to stay relevant (very plausible) and Jameson’s grandmother, the queen, has dubbed Jameson as a hopeful face of the crown. She wrangles Jameson into arranging a tribute week-long celebration, synonymous with the real life Queen’s Jubilee that just happened, where the queen’s late husband is honored with a concert of his favorite artists, accompanied by a young artists component for PR reasons.
Jameson goes into it half-heartedly, and somehow he is inadvertently responsible for the inclusion of Danielle Nelson, a female rapper who goes by Duchess, in the festivities.
For the most part the heroine, Danielle Nelson, Dani, is the character whose conflict shapes the story. While Jameson’s conflict becomes solely his interest in Dani, when he finds himself in forced proximity with her, his inner conflict about his responsibilities to the monarchy recedes into the background; meanwhile, Dani has to contend with a rival of sorts and social media, which try to tear down her success and image; Dani also is written as a self-made: a black female artist who is an entrepreneur battling being over-sexualized and underestimated (kind of overdone and cliche, but it worked for at least half of the book).
Overall, Dani remains strong but the blows keep piling on, despite them being partly because of her own decisions. Jameson also shows strong moments when it comes to wanting to “be” with Dani, and this is what is endearing about him. After the initial dislike between the two, Jameson shows great appreciation for the Dani he realizes is underneath all the glamor and hot press. the romance developed between Dani and Jameson is daring, it is hot in the way that the steam builds unexpectedly; for instance, there are scenes I kept thinking about after reading.
The ending is less than tight because the conflicts weren’t solved very satisfyingly, and the HFN that is hinted at. But overall, not a bad read.

Super Steamy Celebrity-Meets-Prince Romance
In this super steamy celebrity-meets-prince contemporary romance, a reluctant royal, who would prefer to spend his time in the university classroom, finds himself in insta-lust with a popular rapper / entrepreneur who is in the midst of rebuilding her image after she was targeted by a one hit wonder hoping to ride her coattails.
Forced proximity pushes their connection, and Dani and Jameson are drawn to each other. An interracial romance between an American rapper and the prince the queen has placed all her hopes on--how would that work?
This is a bit of a whirlwind romance leading up to the royal concert. Be aware that this one is open door in both action and the salacious thoughts of the main characters. I enjoyed some of the thoughtful things Jameson planned for Dani, how she connects with fans of both her music and makeup line, her strength, and their primary friendships.
I'm interested to see where their relationship goes from here in the upcoming sequel.
