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…

Nice easy story to relax to, narrators are lovely and fit the characters well. I like it when the main characters communicate well with each other.

For me, this is Lucy’s best book since Act Like It. Lots of humor, along with heat, pain and sweetness. I liked the performances but Nicola was often difficult for me to understand. Note the unfortunate absence of a “u” in my spelling of humor.

I almost stopped listening to it multiple times in the first couple of chapters but as the reviews were so good I kept going and enjoyed it a lot!

Really liked it although it starts VERY slow

I love a spicy rom com as much as the next person, but I honestly couldn't with this one. The storyline was all over the place, no romantic arc, plotlines popping out of nowhere, no depth to the characters. I was so close to finishing the book when I realized I'm not going to get back those hours of my life I spent listening, and I wasn't going to invest another 19 minutes just to wrap up a story I honestly didn't care about.

DNFed 19 mins before the ending

I really enjoyed this audiobook from Lucy Parker! This is one of the first audiobooks that I’ve read from LP and I look forward to many more. The story was well paced, the characters super likable (even the annoying ones) and over all such a sweet story of romance that will jaw you want to experience something similar one day.

So good!!

As with all things British, it’s slow and measured. Overall, it’s a great read if you’re looking for a comfortable and heartwarming story.

Very British
