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.

I have really enjoyed other books in this series but I really struggled with the American narrator. I appreciate it is probably made with the American audience in mind but the accents were not good at all and some really bad pronunciation of words. I wanted to like it but the story was very twee and a little obvious I’m afraid. A real shame.

Disappointing

Two nations divided by a common language. And boy does it show in this edition. The English accents are massacred by an American voice. Pronunciations destroyed, causing a quintessentially English romance to sound as English as Dick van Dykes notoriously awful accent in Mary Poppins! Example 'Warwick' in English is spoken as 'Worriick' not the American 'War -wick'. Sadly it spoils a fine romantic tale of English countrry idyllism. Voices are not consistent . Don't bother with Audible for this one; stick to the book!

Why is the narrator American?! The book is set in England, all of the characters are English... but it is read in an American accent and all of the characters’ voices are over the top posh English, they all sound the same. The only ones who it’s feasible to have posh accents are Clementine and her mother, all the other characters should speak normally.

Hats off to Jenny Frame for another wonderful story, but this audiobook is really let down by the narrator.
