Solid Romance

Juicy teen romance, nothing overly sexual. Such drama and believable actions by Lady America. Didn't love the voice acting. Kind of Hunger Games meets romance genre. Leads well into another book, not a solid ending on its own.

The selection

This story was amazing!! Although I wouldn’t recommend it for children under 13 just because of all the kissing and boy stuff it was an extremely well done story with a fantastic plot.

Dry Perforance

The book itself is fantastic. However, the narrator is not (in my opinion) portraying the emotions of the characters properly.

I can't stop re-listening.

This is by far my favourite audio book series - I think I may have listened to this series about 15 times over, and I still love it. If you're a bachelor fan, you'll love this!

Like The Bachelor for royalty

The Reader sounds like a computer, so the narration is a little flat. I enjoyed the story, it’s a good romantic storyline.
