About this listen
In this hilarious, sweet, low-spice rom-com, opposites attract when a princess falls for a flannel-wearing carpenter. Perfect for fans of Sarah Adams and Emma St. Clair.
Sometimes love means embracing the good, the bad . . . and even the impossible.
Dear Reader,
My name is Luke Edgewood, and there are few things in life that I require. Mainly black coffee. And flannel. And lots of solitude. And my dogs, Chewy and Indie. What I don't need is romance, so I have no plans to change my thirty-year-old-bachelor status anytime soon.
But my youngest sister thinks that by accepting a short-term construction job in the small European country of Skymar, I'm going to follow along in her footsteps and discover my own romantic adventure. Nope. Bah humbug. The End. This time, her rom-com-movie senses are totally wrong.
Or maybe not. Because I've met a Grace Kelly look-alike who is annoying . . . until she isn't. But she is impossible. As in, nothing can happen between us because she is a literal princess. Even though that's easy to forget when we're working together to restore a castle-like orphanage in a secluded mountain town and "forced proximity" includes a small closet, a secret one-hundred-year-old journal, and the tactile memory of an off-limits royal in my arms.
Basically, the whole situation has turned into an ooey gooey magical snow globe of romantic tropes complete with cute kids and an actual ball. Even my sentences are starting to sound like mush. Ugh. Send high levels of testosterone my way--I'm going to need it.
Loyally,
Luke
Set on a fictional European island, Loyally, Luke is a heartwarming and delightfully fun clean romance featuring the exciting royalty trope. Experience the joy of a romance filled with plenty of swoonworthy tension but none of the spice. Join Luke on his quest for love in this stand-alone novel that's sure to captivate you. Escape into the charming world of Loyally, Luke now!
"Readers, you are in for a pure delight! Luke Edgewood is, in a word, dreamy." --Emma St. Clair, USA TODAY bestselling author

Story
Falling in love is easy. Finding the right guy to spend happily ever after with... that's the hard part. But I have a foolproof plan. I'm taking the tropes that work in romance books and applying them to my love life. Only one bed? Never fails. Caring for someone when they're sick? A classic. Who did this to you? Seals the deal every single time. So long, loneliness. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. But the more I try to force romance, the more feelings naturally progress with the one man who's off limits: Walker Collins, the guy I've had a secret crush on since 7th grade.

Brynn Cornell has to be stuck in a nightmare. Just last week, she was riding high as cohost of the popular morning show Sunup. She's America's Ray of Sunshine--the girl-next-door beauty who drives up TV ratings while never exuding anything but her trademark positivity and poise. All it took was one huge on-air mistake to expose her snarky side to the world and make it all come crumbling down. Now she's back in her hometown of Adelaide Springs, Colorado, in a last-ditch attempt to convince viewers she's not the mean girl they think she is.

Being best friends with a mega-star has its perks, and music journalist Nicole Wilde takes full advantage of them. But it also has its responsibilities. When lead singer Dylan King disappears the night before a charity gig, it’s up to Nicole to track him down. Half a dozen groupies, a haunted hotel, a tattoo parlour, a reality show runner-up and a crazy bed-hopping, sleepless night later – will she find him before the tour bus leaves town? And when she does, is it time to head home? Or to jump on the tour bus and go along for the ride?

It’s not stalking if he’s your hot neighbor…right? At least, that’s what I tell myself when Adrian Carter moves in next door. His scowl should make me want to run in the other direction, but when I catch him smothering a smile around me, it makes me want to get to know him more. And when Adrian starts to open up, I find myself falling in love with the cinnamon roll center hidden beneath his gruff exterior. But between my emotional baggage and his aversion to relationships, it’s looking like we’ll never be more than neighborly.

Best book I’ve listened to in a long time!

The narration was a giant distraction for me because I listened to all three books in a row. My issue with the narration for Loyally, Luke lies with the producers of this book. First, the main female character, Princess Eliana was voiced with an IRISH accent. Skymarians have a Scottish accent, so this was weird at best and a huge oversight on the part of the audiobook producers. (Every character this narrator voices was done with an Irish accent - even American characters....) Secondly, the voices for Penelope and Isobel were SO vastly different from the first two books and were basically all wrong. (The narrators should have switched characters. That might've helped.)
Again, Christopher Ashman was swoon-worthy as Luke. He has heart and humor and executes the character flawlessly -sometimes in a laugh-out-loud way. (In fact, he did a great job with Princess Eliana and the other character he voiced - like Brodie, Mathias, Anders, Pete, Gordon, Faye, Amara, etc.) If he'd narrated the entire book, it would have been less distracting and more enjoyable.,..
Now that my complaint is voiced, the actual plot and story were just so great. What a message of acceptance, redemption, second chances and new directions. It's a story that lets you know that God truly does honor the desires of your heart. This book is FUNNY and is full of heart and surprises and just joy and so much more. Pepper Basham truly knows how to create characters that seem so real and relatable and stories that have a spiritual message (without the preachy bits) told with a lightness that helps the Truth speak and sink in. (The Hallmarkian tropes were hysterical, too.)
This is the final book in the series and I loved them all. Oh how I will miss the Edgewoods!
I loved everything but the narration

The humor, the tropes, Luke kicking and screaming against all the romance yet falling anyway, and rather gracefully at that!

It was nothing of the sort.
It’s a rom-com.
But what it really is, is an allegory of Jesus’ relationship with me. It’s a handbook of how I can be a better husband. It’s a great fairytale story told once again in modern times with modern twists and wry humor. I liked it… and might have possibly bubbled over a little but in private while I was listening to it. Very well done performance, great writing, and meaningful addition to my library. I might even list it as a favorite. If you catch me a couple of years from now with several rom-coms from the same author, I won’t be surprised… but then as a self respecting man I would have to kill you. Lol!
Because I don’t read rom-coms, or watch Hallmark movies.
Chime!
A lot of themes

Possibly the best yet

Now Luke was more serious in this book than the others but I do suppose he had to do more than sarcastic banter in his own book. I do really like how it turns out in the end and wraps up the stories of all the sibling/cousin group.
Best love story series
