No Romeo

My Kind of Hero, Book 1

De: Donna Alam

Narrado por: Summer Morton, Will M. Watt

Scandal meets sizzle when a runaway bride’s quick getaway lands her in the arms of her almost-groom’s rival, but he has more than business on his mind when he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

Your wedding day is meant to be the happiest day of your life. Not the day you discover your groom is a cheating jerk.

When I run, strong arms catch me. It’s just a shame they belong to my ex’s nemesis, Oliver Deubel. Rich and powerful, the man is sin in a suit. He’s also arrogant, demanding, and infuriatingly irresistible.

When my wedding disaster goes viral and deportation hangs over my head, Oliver offers me a deal: help him ruin my ex in exchange for my visa. The fine print? Move in with him.

I want to laugh in his face, until I discover how ruthless he is. So I decide to repay him by making his life a living hell, and he retaliates by…being nice to me. Which is where things become really weird as lines blur and pretend suddenly begins to feel real.

But Oliver is no Romeo, and only a fool would fall for him.

Worryingly, I think that fool might be me.

Funny and sweet

Enjoyed this story. I thought it wouldn’t catch my attention but I loved the female character for her strength. The male narrator did a great job at bringing Oliver to life and so did the female narrator. I thought it could be a hare shorter but the story was sweet and I loved all the supporting friends as well.

Great story!

This was my second book from this author, and it was fantastic! Different from anything I have read in a long time. Runaway bride who lands (literally) in the lap of the cheating jilted groom’s nemesis. Evie is trying to pull her life together and Oliver see an opportunity to get revenge and use Evie as the means to achieve it. Gotta admit, there were so many times I thought Evie should have run far away, but the story all came together and it was a HEA.

Narrators were perfect. Honestly, I preordered this one when I saw Will Watt was narrating. Both narrators were fantastic. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

B*tchy FMC completely killed the story for me.

I’m 60% through and the FMC Evie is such a b*tch. She was nicer in the beginning and thankful and the main characters had great dialogue even the note was nice and friendly. Then all of a sudden she turned into a walking bitch. He literally offered her everything she needed on a silver platter. She acted like she could do anything on her own. She was crashing at a friend’s house had absolutely no clothes, no access to her money since everything is lost, no contact with her ex to get her stuff, she’s being stalked by people in the media. She’s on a spousal visa. When everything is presented to her about her ex, she still gives him more respect, and she gives Oliver. I don’t know. I just think she is a ridiculous and if I was him, I would’ve given up on her from the very beginning with her nasty attitude and went and found somebody else to play nice with cause, I’m sure he could’ve.

MMC laughs BWAHAHAHA

Why does the MMC sound like a cheap failed villain? The MMC is so poorly narrated, its as if the narrator is mocking the story. It also makes the MMC sound like a joke and not the book bf readers gravitate to.

The story is written well and paced appropriately to keep your interest. Female narrator is also wonderful. She voiced the character with detail to her personality and ongoing dilemmas. She is the only reason for any stars in performance.

Really the only downside to this book is the male narration. Its hard to get pass the mockery.

Great story

I enjoyed this. laughed out loud at some parts and enjoyed the developing relationship.

great book

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Love Alam!!!!

Ms Alam is IMO one of the most clever writers of this genre! Her mastery of witticism and sensuality on the page is unbeatable. Some of the most creative analogies I’ve ever come across. Narration was excellent. Mr Watt’s performance is utterly superb. The man has fabulous resonance, his use of modulation is perfection. Huge fan of both Alam and Watt.

Narrators are great

I liked the book okay but it was just too long. It could have been about 4 hours or more shorter. I found myself playing it at a much higher speed.

British snob and jilted American Bride

First, I had a hard time getting used to Will Matt’s voice as Oliver but then, his voice grew on me and his diversed accents on the secondary characters. Summer Morton was perfect in this role and cleverly switched from her to Oliver in this dual narration. I love the story of how this jilted bride found out that her groom, Mitchell had been cheating on her. She escaped in Oliver’s sedan and there goes a relationship that is both fun to watch, tons of bantering and lots of hot hot sexy scenes…A great listen as well with Donna Alam’s books.

there banter

I like how feisty she is and gets under his skin till he lives her
