Royal Bastard

The Instantly Royal Series, Book 1

By: Avery Flynn

Narrated by: John Lane

Brooke Chapman-Powell takes her position as the Earl of Englefield’s personal secretary very seriously. This job is what keeps her sister in the university for the deaf and the town from completely shutting down. But the earl is dying, and they have only one hope: an American, from some place called Salvation, Virginia.

Now she will have to teach the in-all-likelihood-uncouth-and-lazy half American how to be a proper earl if they hope to save the village. God help them all.

Nick Vane has about two gazillion things that land higher on his to-do list than becoming an English earl. Things like naps. Hosting poker nights. Oh, and raking in the profits from his latest invention. But accepting the title that his grandfather has denied him since birth? It doesn’t even register. But Miss Prim-and-Proper won’t give up, and before he knows what’s what, he is on a plane to London.

He has too much pride to go down easily, and she’s got too much propriety to ever break the rules. They are as different as a cocktail fork and a bread knife - and the clash between them lands these two in the most unexpected positions.

Great story but…

I feel that the story could have used one or more chapters. He never learned how and why his father died and the earls condition. Feels unfinished
I love this writer and I own a lot of her books

Fun story that brings the heat

Perfect narrator voice and voice actor for prologue and epilogue. Will definitely be reading/listening to more Avery Flynn
