Publisher's summary

A wildly funny, ridiculously romantic spinoff from best-selling author Melanie Summers....

Princess Arabella of Avonia is bored out of her ever-loving mind. No 28-year-old wants to live an endless loop of high teas, state dinners, and the same five conversations. They want freedom and adventure. After a wild night out in Ibiza ends in disaster, the royal handlers have shortened her leash considerably. Desperate for an out, she sneakily signs up to cohost a new nature docu-series, starring Will Banks, the man dubbed "McHotty of the Wilderness".

Will has ladies all over the globe lining up to meet him until a hot new adventurer comes on the scene, and his ratings take a nosedive. Producers decide an emergency change in format is in order. Enter Princess Arabella. The pampered and proper royal is the perfect foil to Will's rugged outdoorsman.

It's hate at first sight, but their on-screen loathing makes for great television. Surprisingly, when the cameras stop rolling, these two finally see each other's good sides. Can these opposites find their forever in each other's arms, or will their differences be their undoing?

Contains mature themes.

Cute Story

I liked this story, but the guy that narrated Will was really bad. His voice was stiff and forced, when this character should have felt tough and masculine. That part was a flop for me.

Absolutely Loved It!!!

So glad to hear Arabella being so strong and independent!!! Love Will’s character and strength! He is the perfect yin to her yang. I’m waiting impatiently for the next book! Hurry up November!!!

Fun story, interesting premise, male narrator boring

The story was a lot of fun. However, the male narrator had no range in his voice was flat, doll, and did not sound like somebody who was an adventure person. He tanked the story.

New male voice please...

I really enjoyed this book which is a good thing because the male voice is horrible. Please find a new one before recording any additional books.

I also could have done without the nauseous praise given to Harry and Megan. Their selfish and childish behavior should not be rewarded.

I can't with this male narrator

I'm on the fourth chapter and I can't go on. Bruce Mann (as he calls himself.... name that book...) is HORRIBLE (I'm sure he's a lovely person IRL). I don't understand how someone heard him read and thought "this guy is GOOD". I want to listen but I can't keep going.

LOVED IT!!

Generally I don’t usually listen to royalty romances, they are usually Cinderella type sappy romances but this one was totally a twist from all of those. It was exciting, funny, adventure filled & the characters were totally believable & likable. Great listen, & narrator was good. Thank you!

MUCH BETTER READ

This is a good story, ruined by the male narrator. While the female narrator is good, she just can't make up for her partner.

the story was good

I enjoyed the story. The female narrator was good, however the male narrator is the worst I have ever heard. He literally sounded like a robotic voice. There were a few times that I thought I wouldnt make it through the story bc of him.

Male Performer is Robotic

Bruce Mann is horrible...he is very robotic and hard to listen to...not sure who thought this was a good performance or this is the tone that needed to be set for the book but it does not work.
