About this listen
A royal romance story.
Clementine Fitzroy, Duchess of Rosebrook, doesn’t trust dreamers. After her grandmother and famous social reformer blew the family fortune on her dream of creating a new kind of community, the family land was sold off and their coffers drained. Clementine grew up watching her mother struggle and, now, lives in the small gatehouse behind her former family home.
Evan Fox has a dream that could change the world and save the planet. As CEO of her family toy company, she creates fuel for the imagination. When the Rosebrook estate comes up for sale, Evan jumps at the chance to make her vision of a utopian eco-community come to life.
Clementine is wary of the good-looking newcomer, but Evan is determined to win over the beautiful duchess and prove that, sometimes, dreams really do come true.

loved everything but the narrator
The narrator wasn't terrible, but her accents drove me a little crazy. I would almost have rather had her read in an american accent the entire time. I loved the story and will definitely read it multiple times.

Okay, Revision Time
I love everything about this book, and all of Frame’s books in general. They’re an oasis of sweetness in a really rough world, and this book is no exception. As with every book she’s written, I had the feels from start to finish and actually teared up a few times. Five, heartfelt stars for this one and I can’t wait to start the next!
