Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Talia Hibbert comes a story of wicked royals, fake engagements, and the fed-up office worker trapped in the midst of it all.

Cherry Neita is 30, flirty, and done with men. As far as she can tell, they're overrated, overpaid, and underperforming - in every area of life. But a girl has needs, and the smoking-hot stranger she just met at the office seems like the perfect one-night stand....

Prince Ruben of Helgmøre is reckless, dominant, and famously filthy. The outcast royal is rebuilding his reputation - all for a good cause - but he can't resist a pretty face. And bossy whirlwind Cherry's got the face, the body, and the attitude to make Ruben's convictions crumble. Even better, when she propositions him, she has no idea who he really is.

But when paparazzi catch the pair, erm, kissing in an alleyway, Ruben's anonymity disappears faster than Cherry's knickers. Now, the press is in uproar, the palace is outraged, and Ruben's reputation is back in the gutter. There's only one way to turn this disaster around - and it involves Cherry, some big fat lies, and a flashy diamond ring. On her left hand.

Unfortunately, Cherry isn't pleased with Ruben's "fake engagement" scheme...and neither is the king.

Contains mature themes.

story with a hero and a shero 🙌🏾

I usually do not tune into fantasy tales such as this appeared to be, but having been pleased by another title by the same author, I gave it a try. This story did not disappoint. I imagine, in the age of Meghan and Harry, it is a storyline that is entirely plausible. I was hooked from the start. What a delightful and sexy story. I was intrigued by the dominance and submission relationship behind closed doors because the satisfaction of both partners was pursued; balanced. It was an interesting juxtaposition. Of course, I love a HEA and pretty babies. I recommend this read to anyone who wants a story with characters who are not textbook pretty, have challenging backstories, present tenses that are tinged with life, can stand very detailed deconstruction of sex scenes and are protagonists who support each other (hero and shero present).

Not what I expected

A lot more depth to these two characters who find love. Good storyline with Cherry, our heroine being a strong woman finding a man who’s been through a lot to grow into a strong man. Made for each other. Narration for the male character however was all over the place. Couldn’t decide what his accent was supposed to be. Worth the read.

A ride I didn't expect, but I'm glad I hopped on

I actually have no clue of what drew me to this title, but I'm elated that I get to add it to my Audible library. This story is full of twists that you don't see coming, but the growth is *chef's kiss*.

Amazing book, good narrator, bad accents

LOVE the book! The characters have depth, the story is very interesting, emotional and sexy!
I mostly liked the narrator. I don't totally agree with the choice of a male narrator, but he is very good. He can bring the appropriate emotions in every scene, gives the book the necessary rhythm and allows you to differentiate the "voices". My main issue was with his accents, which are very important in this book, since the majority of the characters are from outside the UK. The Scandinavian accents sound surprisingly Italian... specially the grandmother's voice, that came out messed up!
Even with that, I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Total enjoyment!

I had hit a slump in finding new, positive audiobooks until I found this book. What fun! I'll be seeking out more books from Talia Hibbert. Cornell Collins did a great job with the narration.

The best type of fairytale…

Really lovable, complicated characters and story. Also, I LOVE A BLACK WOMAN CURVY MAIN CHARACTER!

Heat!!!

This book was just wow!! I do feel that ending was rushed, but it doesn’t change how I feel about the book.

Milkshake

Oh wow! I totally enjoyed this crazy funny love story. This was a most pleasant journey to finish. This was not a duet but after you get into the story you won't notice or miss it. No spoilers here, you'll have to listen to find out what "MILKSHAKE" means. I couldn't stop listening. This was a fun ride, so enjoy.

Steamy HEA Story

This is the cutest love story with steamy love scenes. The cliffhangers are amazing. Cornell Collins is a wonderful narrator. I love that the leading woman is a BBW like me. Thanks Talia Hibbert!

So funny and relevant!

Love this story and the performance! Had me laughing from the first minute. I really like the complexity of the characters as well! The way the author creates a dialogue on mental health, race, abuse is wonderfully done.
