The Reluctant Wife by L. Steele

3.0

---

I realized, a ways in, that I came into this at a Book 4 in the series—that does explain some things, but it wasn’t hard to roll with it.

Royals.

Arranged marriage.

Bodyguard romance.

Second-chance romance.

Curvy girl.

Lowkey suspense.

Danger.

Forbidden vibes.

Overall, this was okay.

Very dramatic, intense. And slow-paced.

3 stars.

🎧 Audio:

Overall, quality-wise, very mixed. It’s a dual-narration with excellent voices and voice actors, however the male parts had poor sound quality—which especially stood out against the female’s stellar sound quality. He sounded as though he was under water? Or … something like that. I’m not really sure what prompts this particular issue. Usually I hear it in amateur-made productions, however, this one seems professionally produced in all other aspects, so it’s baffling. 3 stars.
