The Duchess Effect

A Novel

De: Tracey Livesay

Narrado por: Wesleigh Siobhan, Antony Ferguson

Tracey Livesay returns in this seriously sexy sequel to American Royalty, following Duchess and Prince Jameson as they strive to turn their romance into a relationship, beneath the relentless glare of the spotlight.

Against all odds, sexy American rapper, Danielle “Duchess” Nelson and brilliant reclusive royal Prince Jameson have fallen in love! They’ve decided to take their relationship public and find a way to make their two worlds coexist. On their terms.

Unfortunately, falling in love was the easy part.

Jameson and Dani’s love story has made them the most popular royals since Prince John, but that popularity comes with a price. Dani looks forward to signing the deal with a major cosmetics company that will make her skin care line, Mela-Skin, a force in the industry, and finally grant her the control over her life she’s craved since childhood. But the company wants to take advantage of their fame and involve Jameson in Mela-Skin’s marketing campaign. Dani is outraged! Her company has nothing to do with Jameson.

After stepping up for the royal family, Jameson yearns to retreat back into academia. But he’s fired when his university raises concerns about his newfound notoriety. And suddenly the queen, initially against the relationship, backtracks, seeing their cooperation when the family is embroiled in yet another scandal. This isn’t the quiet life Jameson was hoping for.

Dani and Jameson truly love each other. But under the scrutiny of the international spotlight, when the doubts, compromises, and secrets begin to take their toll, will their love be enough?

phenomenal story

Near perfection, I just wish the make narrator were different. I never really adjusted to him.

The switch out

duchess was a really great character in the first book but I think in this book she was being a little selfish and she didn't have to be. I wish they would have gave more of a backstory what happened with her career and Cash but besides that the book was really good

Great read

The story was so well written. I enjoyed the witty banter between the characters. Wesleigh S. was amazing as always as a narrator; however the male narrator sounded like AI. He was not the best choice for the book.

My kind of romance

I laughed out loud. I cried (yes I admit. was in my
feelings). I admit I wanted & needed more, lol. I enjoyed both books.

Enjoyed

Started out a little slow for me but I really enjoyed and would love a part 3. The narration was awesome

Narration

Great story, had a slow Starr, the male voice took some getting used too it sounded very AI'ish

Loved it and totally urge you to read

The book is amazing and the story is very hot and relatable. Just go read it.

A Fairy Tale for Today

The hero and our heroine are two flawed people but what they have in common is the need to love each other. Definitely not a perfect love. The heroine is particularly self-centered in this second book in the duet. Yet you still hope that they make it even as a part of you believes they won’t.

I Need Morrreeeeee!!!

Omg, this book was definitely amazing! The story line, the steaminess, the back and forth, engaging my heartstrings!!!! I need another book after this!

An unexpected good read

I really enjoyed this two book story. It had a uniquely paired couple that fit together and fell in love over physical compatibility and shared trauma. Two strong leads, both with their faults.
