Red Lips & White Lies, Book 7

De: Bella Matthews

Narrado por: Stephanie Cannon, Will Thorne

An accidental marriage, forbidden, billionaire romance, From USA Today and #1 Amazon Best Selling Author, Bella Matthews.

In my defense, I never planned on marrying my husband.

But after one wild night and one too many cocktails, I wake up tangled in silk sheets, with a diamond ring on my finger, a sinfully sexy prince next to me in bed, and palace guards banging on the door with devastating news.

The king is dead.
And apparently, my accidental husband is next in line for the throne.

Now I'm stuck navigating crowns, cameras, and a man I barely know but somehow can't keep my hands off—all while figuring out what to do with this mistake of a marriage. But Rhys Windsor doesn't look at me like a mistake. He looks at me like I'm his only truth.

They say a little white lie never hurt anyone... but this little lie could destroy a dynasty.

Bella Matthews does Royal! -- ALC

Striking written by Bella Matthews narrated by Stephanie Cannon and Will Torne. Hearing Cannon bring Bellamy to life, and Will Thorne as Rhys was so good!

Both are new narrators to me. This is performed in dual narration. Dual isn’t always my preference, but Cannon & Thorne did a wonderful job!! I enjoyed hearing the main characters, as well as the side characters like Atair get brought to life. I feel like I need a voice note of Thorne calling Bellamy his love to play in my ear whenever I need some serotonin. I loved the accents, the banter, and the spice! I like to read my books, and then treat the audio book as a relisten, so this was a perfect opportunity for me. If that's your style, I highly recommend it, but please consume this story either way!!!!

Rhys & Bellamy are the cutest!

These two and this story is so cute! They fall hard and fast (him especially). Their connection is a kick your feet up and giggle type of connection and it’s done so well! Bella writes the most lovable characters and having the royal aspect was so fun! Perfect end to the series.

🎧 Narrated duel style by Stephanie Cannon & Will Thorne. Loved their accents! I had a bit of a tough time with Stephanie’s voice for Rhys but other than that they did an amazing job!

Need Bellamy and Rhys discover a shared destiny

Very nice addition to this series. The narrators do a great job- just wish it had been in duet instead of a dual performance. Rhys was previously introduced in Lennon’s story as her logical, thoughtful older brother. He plans to modernize his Mornae government and the ceremonial task during his reign and Bellamy grounds him. Bellamy Wilder is a blood cancer survivor, sister of hockey stars Cross and Ares, and best friend of Kate Belleventi. She wants to help others and is tempted by a job working with the royals cancer foundation as well as the prince. Even though she is a commoner, Rhys recognizes her value as his partner. This is not a long story but a good one. Well worth a credit!

The love of family

Bella Matthews gets better with each book. I love this family because it reminds me of the love I once had. Keep writing Bella you bring joy and hope to so many.
