About this listen

Hattie Murton never dreamed of TV stardom. A straight-from-a-fairytale encounter with a casting agent somehow landed her a part on what she’d thought would be a one-off pilot for Leicester Square, a bodice-ripping drama adapted from a bestselling romance novel. Buoyed by a surge in demand for romantic dramas, the show instead propelled its core cast to household-name status within a month.

Hattie tries to look on the positive side of all situations, but four seasons of brutal press, overly invested fans, and a cutthroat industry that’s never quite felt like the right fit would give even Pollyanna an edge of cynicism. And high on the ‘con’ list when it comes to her current and unintended career is having to share a set and some horrendously early starts with Anthony Rafe. Leicester Square villain. A-lister. Absolute prat.

In the new season’s scripts, it appears that her previously sane, rational character is about to lose her mind and begin an unexpected and unsettlingly graphic affair with the series villain. Forced into close—very close and very…intimate—proximity with the man everyone loves to hate, Hattie’s horror is matched only by Anthony’s drawling disdain. But when very real chemistry sparks during their scripted love scenes, Hattie begins to think the industry’s legendarily heartless Bad Guy might just have a pulse after all. And Anthony, for his part, is caught off-guard by the way his heart races when he’s around his aggravating onscreen lover.

As reality starts to imitate art a little too close for comfort, the world’s most unlikely couple might just have more in common than they thought…

Another gem in the free catalog

The story was well developed, and so were the characters. entertaining dialogue, overall very enjoyable to read. both narrators did a great job, particularly the male narrator. I'm glad this was offered as a free book in the catalog because I have found a new author I otherwise had not heard of. I will definitely be reading more of her books in the future now that I am familiar with her.

So enjoyed this story

It’s a lovely, well-written story. I thought the voice performance was excellent. It was a joy to listen, and I immediately re- listened right after.

Slow burn

Foremost, the performances were terrific. I’ll listen to either actor read anything. The story was enjoyable and while I felt it moved a bit slowly for the most part, the love story and surrounding relationships did keep me interested. I listened a second time and probably paid closer attention once I knew better who was who- since many of the characters are actors in a period drama they have two names and different personalities. I thought Hattie and Anthony’s romance was believable and while fairly brief, there were a few spicy moments. I’m glad this story made its way into my library and I’ll likely revisit it again.

Perfect in every way

Do not let the slow start turn it off!! By chapter 3 you will not be able to stop. Both narrators are wonderful and I could listen to her Scottish accent and his English accent forever. The story is genuine, and sweet. Love truly does conquer all.
