A Royal Romance

By: Jenny Frame

Narrated by: Lesley Parkin

Georgina, Princess of Wales, has always known her destiny, but she never expected duty to call so soon. When her father dies suddenly, she is called back from her Royal Navy post to assume the crown. While the people acclaim their new Queen, Great Britain's first openly gay monarch, all George feels is the isolation of her station.

Beatrice Elliot's staunch anti-monarchist views have always been a point of gentle contention with her working class, royalty-loving parents. When Bea, director of a hospice charity, must spend six months working with Queen Georgina, her charity's new patron, sparks fly and passion blooms. But is love enough to bridge the gap between Bethnal Green and Buckingham Palace?

worth reading

I really enjoyed the book thought it was better than actually reading it myself. I felt I was watching a movie and it was great. Leslie Parkin did a great job. This is worth listening to!

Love this book with all my heart

Once again Jenny Frame has captured my heart with a story full of love and wonder. It really felt like a fairy tale and the modern/futuristic setting surprised me in a pleasant way. The whole inteli-flesh thing was neat, some might say it's a bit contrived, just as an excuse for George to be able to feel while having sex with Bea, but I think it was perfectly explained and presented, even mentioning it's more traditional uses.

The voice by Lesley Parkin left a little to desire, but she shined in the right moments giving a perfect emotional tone to some scenes, even if she sounded a bit monotone other times. By far her best performances were Julian and Queen Adriana, perfectly capturing his snobbish and condescending tone and her wise and tought personality. George sounded the same most of the time, not much emotion in her voice, but I attribute that more to her own personality.

Overall this is a fantastic book that I would recommend to anyone looking for a modern fairy tale about a Queen falling in love with an ordinary girl, about how they met and how in the end they lived happily ever after.

heartwarming
