Audiobook: I had seen the cover for this book here and there but really didn't give it much thought. Then the opportunity to read an ARC of the third in the series was presented & in a Facebook group the was a lot of buzz and excitement among other readers so I thought 'lets give it a whirl".
Gosh I am so glad I did!!!! I am actually surprised how invested I became in all 4 protagonists that are featured in this series. I will admit though I had to write down their names and who they were dating/interested in to help keep it straight until I got use to them.
I can't pinpoint what exactly it is that I loved listening to this but I just was so invested in all their storylines and how they intersect with one another. Though Daphne, I could do without but I guess we need a villain to stir the pot. I love that it takes place in America where royalty is our government. Being an American who swooned over the Princes of Wales growing up definitely helped my interest in this book.
I wish we got different individuals for each person but that is just a personal preference.
Though the narrator is great for altering her voice to help distinguish each of the characters.
Though the running time per Libby is 14 hours, I thought it went by super fast and if I didn't have interruptions in my day I probably could've finished it in one day.
